TEACHER SHORTAG CT IS
STILL GRAVE PROBLEM

Washington, March 16.--The teacher
shortage situation, while in some parts
Of the country slightly better than
last October, when the National Edu'
cation Association made its inquiry,
is still a very grave problem, accord
ing to reports received by the bureau
Of education, department of the IN
| terror
On February 13 the commissioner OF
/ education found, on the basis Of re-
/ turns from State school officers, that
there are 1929 schools closed BE-
cause Of lack OF teachers, and 4l,9OO
schools taught by teachers character
/ lied as below standard but taken o.
/ temporarily in the emergency" The
LARGEST shortages are as follows: Ken.
mcky, 2,25O; Texas. 2O55; Virginia,
/ 1000; Georgia, 1900; North Caroline,
1OO Iowa, 600.
Substandard teachers are reporte
as follows: Texas, 1000; Virginia, $500
Alabama, $500; Georgia, 5000; Tenn
cesce, 5000; Minnesota, 1850; Illinois.
200; Kentucky, LOO; New York, l.,
100; South Carolina, 1000.
In response to the question, "What
provision is made for children in ter.
ritories whore schools are closed?'
eighteen states report that children
are transferred to other schools thre
states report no provision, one state
report requires "some" two states
report that the majority Of children
are losing the grade.
In response to the question, "Ar'
tom" six states report that no dat
, 1re at hand, five states report "Ver,
! utlc'; three states report a consid
: cradle movement, and four states re
port none"
70 IN response to the question "To wha
? extent are taxpayers interesting them
= selves in paying better salaries fo
2 teachers?" IA states report that tn
. interest is general. One state report
. great interest" and one state r.
ports very large interest; while anoth'
reports that they are doing theI

with the shortage of teachers Is tina

ed" says A. o. Neal, OF the Bureaus
division of rural education, in com
menting upon the situation. Since lSso
there has been q CONTINUOUS an1 an
creasing withdrawal Of men tcac9ers
f-5n tie profession. T1' perez 1tage
of men teachers in 1890 was 81 per
cent. In 1910 it had fallen to % per
cent, and in 1918 to II per cent. Ia
other words, in 1890 one teacher n
three was a man. in 1910 one teacher
in five; and in 1918 one teacher in s!A
was a man.
"The question Of teachers salaries
is vital in this discussion, ana com
parison Of teachers salaries from 1910
to 1918, the latest complete statistics
available, shows that in the two
years, from 1916 to 1918, the average
teachers salary advanced from s56}
per year to $635 per year, an Increase
Of S72, or 10 per cent in the two years.
The total figures for 1913 show that
the average salary for elementary
teachers in the United States was S6O6
and the average salary for high school
teachers, Sl,031. The bureau Is now
collecting salary schedules from var'
ious states. giving the actual salar'
ie- received by individual teachers in
three counties in each state. Thes"
show that the salaries OF rural teach
ers are far below this average IN
many states, and that salaries as 10"
az $3.50 to 5000 per annum are found
in many localities.
Another cause of teachers with.
drawing from the profession Is found
/ in the lack OF provision made fo'
suitable homes in the community
where the teachers may become a par
OF the social organization. This is
particularly true in rural districts
where in many communities they ar
providing teachers homes in conncc
ton with the schools"

Mrs. ]. M. Bryan and her COM

program for the weekly gathering to-
night at the Community club house.
Mrs. Walter D. Tiedeman, who has
been heard number of times during
her residence in Americas, and who
always delights her hearers with her
beautiful soprano voice, will be
heard this evening in two charming
numbers. "Duna," is the first of

Song" by Wilfred Sanderson, and
"Blue Bird" by Hummer, follow.
Miss Catherine Smith has arranged a
charming program for readings.
Gordon Howell will lead the COM
munity singing, and this is to be made
a special feature of the gathering

stress this part of the weekly pro-

program into which everybody can be
incorporated. The attendance has
been very gratifying for the past two
weeks, and a larger crowd is expected
this evening.

Terrell Asked Why
1t Ignored Tax Order

A controversy between the board
of tax equahzers of Terrell coun-
ty, composed of T. B. Raines, ]. H.
Pritchard and c. C. Brim, and the
state tax commissioner, H. ]. Full
bright, now seems certain.
The tax digest, which was recent
ly completed by Tax Receiver Ern-
est Baldwin and forwarded to the
Atlanta office, showed a gain in val
ues over the 1920 returns of $685.
GAL. This was not satisfactory to
Mr.. Fullbright, who had previously
notified the tax officials of the coun-
ty to increase the returns to 40 per
cent, or S2,000,000, and upon re-
ceipt of the digest he wrote Mr.. Bald
win as follows;
''The tax digest for 1920 for Ter
rell county has been received, and
apparently no attention has been
paid to the requirements of this Of
flee that Terrell county's tax values
be increased. The requirement was
for a 40 per cent increase, and it
will be necessary to add 35 per cent
to the digest as it has been sent in in
order to meet this requirement.
Please confer with your board of
tax assessors and advise me wheth-
err or not your board of tax assess
ors will undertake to make the d.
gest comply with this requirement. "

Is Malaria Sapping Your
Strength And
Vitality

Physicians claim that malaria is
the cause of more disease than any
malady known-chills and fever, ma
larial fever. bilious fever, loss Of ap-
petite and energy, drowsiness, etc.
If malaria (chills and fever) is
keeping you down get bottle of Am
eco and begin taking right now.
Ameco is better than quinine for
malaria, chills and fever.
Ameco kills the malaria germ.
A few doses break the fever, and
when taken as tonic, the fever will
not return.
That dreaded chill day disappears
from the moment you begin taking
Ameco.
Ameco will also cure any ordinary
cold in "a hours.
Contains no harmful drugs and is
fine for children.
Get bottle Of Ameco Chill and
Fever Tonic from your druggist for
35c, and if not satisfied with results,
he will refund your money.-(adv)

The legislature will be called in
special session ina few GAYS to take
action on the question of appropriat-
ing money topay bonuses to the boys
who served in the WurId war There
is a general feeling that the sacrifice
which the bows made in leaving their
business interests and serving their
country at $50 per month, while
those who escaped the service were
taking every opportunity to profit by
the necessities of the country tn en-.
rich themselves, entities them to
some extra compensation 10 even up

Camp No 1, of Lead. representing

war. has presented the claims of the
1850 volunteers from this state who
served in that war They say they
have nsver received and never asked
for any bonus, but they car see no
reason why they are not as much en-
titledto it as are the boys who served
in the World War. This brings up
another problem for the aolons to
consider when they assemble.
