SUPPLY or TEACHERS NOW ADEQUATE.

The national shortage in the supply of school teach
ers, so serious a year ago that it forced the closing of
many schools throughout the country, has now ceased
to be a problem.
Trained teachers of both sexes are focking to get
their old jobs in public elementary, grade and high
schools in all but a few sections. Nearly coo, 900 in
structors, or approximately the normal force, are now
preparing to take charge when the autumn term be-
gins next month.
Falling salaries in commercial pursuits and a big
increase in salaries of teachers, coupled with lack of
employment, is responsible for the rush of teachers
back to the schools.
The average salary of elementary teachers is gen.
orally above $1,000 a year, according to a survey
made by the bureau officials. The average salary, of
high school teachers is 81 $40 a year, the survey shows
This represents an increase of so per cent since 1918
for high school teachers. Salaries of elementary
school teachers are believed to have increased in like
proportion although the bureau has made no detailed
survey of the situation in the grades.
In 1918 the lowest range of salaries paid in ele-
m~entary schools was lightly above $500 a year. Now,
however, state legislatures, school boards and local
officials in all states are fastening to boost salaries
the reports show. This movement began about a
year ago. In California high school teachers receive
more than $4,000 a year. In Virginia high school
teachers receive only slightly more than $1,000 a year
This is the state of lowest salaries in high school work
There are about 10000 teachers giving their entire
time to work in high schools. This class of schoo
suffered least from the shortage of instructors wher
the war began to draw thousands from the school ros
trums. Salaries always have been higher in the higl
school service than in the elementary schools. Whei
the high schools began to lose teachers there was
drift of teachers in that direction from elementar.
grades. This, it would seem, would have discourage
the increase in salaries in the high schools. Govern
ment officials are unable to explain why high schoo
salaries took such a big jump.
In the elementary schools when the shortage o
teachers was greatest more than 5000 teachers wer
needed. Schools were forced to close in some dis
tricts because there were no teachers. In several sec
tons of the country students received an average o
but ninety days instruction in the school year of min
months.

what difference there may be 'twixt tweedledum and
tweedledees and the sending of Roger Williams into
the wilderness for ~objecting to the selling of Indian
~eaptives as slaves INTO the West Indies, as well as for
advocating freedom of conscience, was only a mile
stone on the way toward the witch-hangings of 1913.
"The error into which President Harding seems to
have fallen is a common one enough; there is a tend
ency in the middle west as in the south to lump early
New Englanders as narrow theocrats- But the late
Joseph Hodges Choate could have explained to a
president that the people who according to his own
phrase came to America to worship God in their own
way and to prevent other people from doing So were
the Puritans, not the Pilgrims. And Choate was a ma
tive of Salem, growing up among the historic struc-
lures and in the Salem atmosphere which gave Ma
thaniel Hawthorne his literary material"

CORRECTING THE PRESIDENTS HISTORY.

The common error of confusing the Pilgrims with
the Puritans is made by many and those well informed
spect. The Brooklyn Eagle rather takes the presi-
dent to task for what he said in his Plymouth speech
and makes the point so clear that even the school chill
dren may have an understanding of which is which.
eff the disembodied spirits of John Carver, William
Bradford, Edward Winslow and Thomas Prince could
have listened to the address of President Harding at
Plymouth, they would have found some passages Of it
almost astounding. For example:
IF the idea of religious freedom had little to hope
for from the effort of the stern old fathers to set up
a theocracy in New England, the ideal of political
freedom found here a particularly fertile soil.
Here with crude narrowness and unconscious selfish
ness hindering but with supreme intent impelling,
manity.
"But if John Endicott, and Thomas Dudley, and
Thomas Danforth, and Cotton Mather had heard these
words they would not have been astounded, though
they might have been hurt. The criticism applies dis
tinctly to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, not to- Ply
mouth; to the Puritans, not tc the Pilgrims. Theoc-
racy was not a Pilgrim conception. The Pilgrim
Fathers governed themselves. They hoped to do so
in accordance with the will of Divinity, as good men
do everywhere.
plymouth did expcl John Lyford, and John Old
ham in 1924; and it did somewhat forcily persuade
Thomas Morton of Merry Mount in 1928 that he
would really be happier in England. For loose lv-
ing the Fathers had little liberation, though they and
their families enjoyed the good things of life. For
creed differences they had liberation. Roger Will
liam5 found his first asylum in Plymouth when Salem
began to get too hot for him. The leaders of the May
flower band were mostly poor men, not used to lux
ury; not highly educated, not dialecticians. They
had real independence until Andres came. But the
Massachusetts, Bay Colony was largely made up of
men@of wealth; some of high social standing, a few
with titles; the minister's were gifted in discovering

CDR. Wilbur Crafts, the pilot of the international
Reform Bureau" we are reminded by the Los An
geles Times, sis going ahead with what he calls his
constructive program for regulating the morals of the
world. He is going to have community croquet
grounds to take the place of the boxing arena. Like
wise, he will have young folks playing bean bag in the
parks instead of finding damnation in the dance hall,
Just now DR.. Crafts is going to see that the ladies get
their share of the good things of this world. He wants
the government to fix things so that every woman
shall at least have during her husbands life the one
third of his property and income which the law and
custom would give her after his death. That seems
fair enough If the only dissipation the husband can
have is to go down to the park and watch the preach
pay envelope just as easily as one. We will have a
lovely world when DR.. Crafts gets through with it ;"
