Teaching Standards Cut
In Hope to Get Recruits
The Need for Teachers

Standards for appointment to
teach I'm the New York schools
haze been cut to the danger
point, but IN spite of that fact,
because of underpaymemt of
teachers:
There is a shortage Of 348
teachers, which is likely to be
doubled by the end of February.
There is a shortage of nearly
2,700 available substitute teach
ers.
Every list of eligibles has been
exhausted, so far as available
teachers go.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-15

the standards two years ago and to-day
is marked Two years ago the examina-
tion for the No. license, which fur
nishes new teachers for regular ap-
pointments and supplies the backbone
of the system, took two full days.
Now it is finished in half a day
Everybody that applies, practically
is getting through. In fact. if the
applicant can claim a college edu-
cation or a little experience there
is no examination, except to- see that
he or she speaks moderately correct
English.
Marked Decrease
Seen In Quality
"In spite of this" Jerome V. O'Con-
nell, of the board, explains, "there has
beer, decrease for the last two years
in those passing the No. / examina-
ton, our most important examina-
ton" Ia decrease, it will be noted,
at the time when the city's needs de-
manded an increase). There has been
an increase in the bulk of total pass
ings, because Of the opening Of voca-
tional and special schools"
The result Of the relaxation of re-
quirements shows at once In the ex-
ANIMATION room. Practically every one
o. the graduates Of the teachers train
ing schools is passed sooner or later.
In recent examination of forty Hunt
er College girls every one was passed
at once.
The effect shows in the schools. All
the principals agree that there is a
marked decrease in the quality OF
the teachers now being appointed
"The teachers now coming in are
much Inferior" says Miss Olive Jones
secretary of the Federation Of Teach
ers' Associations and principal Of
School 100, Manhattan. "They are be-
low par both in training and in per-
sonality. Many Of the older ones are
still holding on out Of loyalty, out Of
love of teaching and out Of habit, but
as they resign under the pressure of
poverty the less able as we'll as less
experienced are coming in. So there
is steady lowering of the morale and
ability of the teaching force.
"This would be bad enough if the
teachers only duty were to hammer in
the three Rs. But that is the least
of it. The teacher hes to make Ameri-
cans of foreign children, to put in a
solid foundation to resist all the at
tempts that are being made to under
mine Americanism to-day. to make citi-
zens out Of all kinds Of material, to

parties" she said. eve have been
appealing to men from outside the
parties for sixty years. If we are 60
ing to continue to be applicants for
favors from the parties what was the
use Of our getting the vote at all ?
The only way to get things done is by
working inside the political parties.
Whether you like it or not, this is the
trend of political development in this
country.
Must Get Inside
"Now you are going to have hard
time to get inside the parties. At
first you will think you are getting q
wonderful welcome, and that politics
Is delightful game. You will go to
dinners and hear splendid speeches and
have grand time whooping things up
for your favorite candidate, but you
will realize after while that you are
not really getting anywhere-any more
than most Of the men are-and that
you and the masses of the men are in
sort of political penumbra where
nothing important ever happens.
There is political umbra, too
You will not be so welcome there. 1t
is where the candidates are nominated
and the party platforms are laid down.
But there is where you must go. The
real things in politics are done there
in that central place and the door is
locked tight against you. You've got
to fight your way in"
There was loud applause at this
point, but the voice of Miss Hay could
be heard crying:
That's what Pm doing in New York"
Mrs. Gait concluded with a warning
to the women against violent PARTISAN
ship.
"Politics is a new emotion to some
of you," she said, "and you are taking
it pretty hard But you must work
together in the League of Women Vot-
ers regardless Of your party affiliation
for the things women believe in. The
Republican women of New Hampshire
and the Democratic women of Alabama
must be friends"
Directors to Govern League
The league will be governed by a
board of ten directors, one from each
of the seven sections of the country
and three at large. Its work will be
carried on by national organizer, a
woman who will be paid a salary large
enough to command the highest abil-
ity in the country.
The annual conventions will be or
ganlzed like the Congress of the United
States, with the same number of dele
gates from each state as that state
has members of Congress-. and two ad-
ditional Senators"
Don't let's ever have anything like
the Senate of the United Statesl" cried
Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham, of
Texas, at this point, and the convention
laughed In recollection of its troubles
with the Senate last year.

THE EIGHTY-RoD STRIP

The proposed development board to handle federal business in Alaska could find many opportunities for use- full service.
 Under our present laws a space of eighty rods must be left between pub lie land entries on tidewater.
 The object of this law was to pre- vent corporations, principally by means of soldiers additional home stead applications, from gobbling all the water front which might become valuable along the shore of some par tieular harbor
 Tn so far as it serves that purpose it is a desirable law.
 In it's practical application, however, if bona fide homesteaders desired to locate in some particular bay, the re- salt would be- to isolate them from one another, and to discourage the building up of settlements.
 The benefit intended to result from the law could readily be accomplished by requiring corporations seeking waterfront property to show that they had actual need for it, and to follow their applications for the land by put ting it to some actual and beneficial use within a reasonable time.
 Their subsequent rights to the prop erty could be made dependent upon a genuine need for it and an actual use of it.
 A development board having exten- sive powers could readily safeguard the public welfare in granting the use of water front to corporations, and yet not interfere with actual settlers in acquiring land for legitimate pur- poses.
 At present representatives of the land department in Alaska are purely administrative officers; they have no option but to follow the strict letter of the law, and there is no disposition to complain of their performance of their duties.
 What is needed is the creation of 8 governmental commission in Alaska vested with authority to exercise some discretion.-Ex.
