An alarming spirit of unrest among
the teachers in the elementary schools
and a desire to change from one
school to another was shown in a
statement given out yesterday by Miss
Ethel Walker, county superintendent.
This is especially true, Miss Walker
said, in the one-teacher schools.
That this is the cause of much in
efficiency in the schools is undoubted-
ly true, Miss Walker said, adding that
there seemed to be an erroneous i'm
preston prevalent among teachers ov-
er the county that the teacher who
teaches in the most schools becomes
the most efficient. On the contrary,
however, the superintendent stated,
the most efficient teacher is the one
who continues with he same school
more than one year and comes TO-
know her pupils.
The chief cause for this unrest
among the teachers, according to Miss
Walker, is the fact that it is ex-
tremely hard to maintain discipline
in a school where there is only one
teacher. Consequently, after one or
two years in a chool teacher begins
to dread returning there and seeks
some other school where sh els TN
known and must begin anew to learn
the individual characteristics OF her
pupils.
The alarming state of this unrest
&c shown in the fact that, out of a
total of 4o teachers in one-teacher
schools 90 per cent of the teachers
are new in their positions. OF the
16 teachers in two-teacher schools
82H per cent are new, while in the
schools employing three or more
teachers 50 per cent are new. The av-
erage for all the schools in the county
is about 81 per cent. 1t is readily
seen that such large per cent OF new
teachers detracts greatly from the ef-
ficiency of the teachers.
The only remedy for this condition
Of unrest, Miss Walker stated, lies in
the consolidation of the one and two
teacher schools into schools having
three or four or more teachers.
Miss Walker stated that she re-
uuired all the teachers to send in week
" reports of the average daily at
tendance. The first week these re-
ports were only 81 per cent, while at
he end Of four weeks 20 per cent OF

OF CITY
GIVE PROMISE OF
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Initial Attendance of High School
Is Largest in Its
History.

The city schools opened Monday
with large attendance in both the
high school and the grammar school.
The high school enrolment on Mon
day totalled 90, with prospects of more
pupils to come. This is by far the
largest initial enrolment known in
the high school, The grammar school
enrollment was 27I, and while this is
not record, Fred L. Handy, principal
stated that this was probably due to
the fact that many of he parents did
not know that the grammar school ses
sion began Monday.
The high chool opened with brief
chapel exercises and talks to the
student body by Rev. w. H. Blue and
DR.. V. L. Lewis, after which the work
of enrolling the pupils and arranging
the schedule was begun and continued
throughout the day.
The faculty OF the high school con-
sists of Pref. J. L. Rose, principal;
Miss Jeanon Day, Dawson Springs, |!
KY; Miss Emily McLaurin, Paris,
Tenn, Miss Irene Harris, Isabella,
Tenn, and Miss Glady Comstock
Crossville.
The city school opened with a short
chapel service. Lessons were then as
signed and active school work was be-
gun Tuesday morning.
The teaching staff of the grammar
school is composed of Fred L. Handy,
principal; Mrs. Maude E. Keyes, Mrs.
Frank Potter, Miss Lula Borden. Miss K
Nancy Anderson and Miss Ida Dorton.
This large enrolment in both schools II
ogether with their excellent faculties,
rive promise of most successful
chool year.

Efficiency in Welfare.

- ESTABLISHMENT of an inter departmental
welfare bureau for the benefit of government
employees will, believe result in a more efh-
cient service. Such institution should prove OF
unmixed benefit to the workers Uncle Sans
payroll 1t should be a means of eliminating the
waste which now results from the overlapping OF
welfare activities throughout the Capital
Uncle Sam always has been the most consd-
crate Of employers. He was active in welfare work
before the idea ever entered the heads of most in
dustrial magnates But he has lacked at times
thoroughly efficient system. Each department Of
the public service has been allowed full charge Of
its own activities in this line. The government
has not been considered great institution.
OF special interest at present however, is the
proposal to take over the various park conces-
sions means OF financing the welfare work.
This will end controversy which has gone on for
some time over the advsability Of renting the gof
links and bathing beach to private individuals. 1t
would seem that these have been very profitable
especially during the past summer 1t is not good
business for the government to pass over paying
institutions to private individuals and, at the
tme tax the public to keep up nursing service
for workers, etc.
The question which arises, OF course, is as to
whether the government could make these conces-
sons pay as well-as private individuals. Evidently
Col Sheriff. thinks So He has had experience un-
der both systems and has had opportunity to bene-
fit from observation of the methods used when
men operated government concessions with an eye
to their own pocketbooks. 1t must be admitted
that greater efficiency often has resulted. We have
in mind the Potomac Park golf links where the
private management has done much to make the
surroundings attractive to the public during
the past summer.
The men who have invested heavily in these
concessions, of course, should be given plenty of
opportunity to get back their money. But the
government owes them nothing more. If Col.
Sheriff. can make these institutions pay under Fed
eral control he should take them over soon as
possible by all means. We believe that this can
be done and, at the same time, excellent service
rendered
In this way large share of the expenses Of
the new nter-departmental welfare bureau can be
met without any extra drain upon the public treas
ury. In fact, the move may result in consider
able saving as well as better service.

Concerted Actor Needed.

WYE NOTE with pleasure the action Of the
w South Washington Citizens Association in
connection with the campaign against one-man cars
District streets. This newspaper merely has
echoed the sentiments Of every District citizen who
has had occasion to the chcken-eoops.
The way in which citizens associations from
one Of the District to the other have ral-
lied to the fight is encouraging 1t shows there Is
determined public protest against the torture
machines forced upon the people by the traction
companies. II shows that these are detested
wherever they have been introduced At meet
ing of the Northwest Citizens Association the
other night, are told, there a general ex-
preston Of sentiment for serapping completely the
street car lines along Wisconsin avenue unless
better service could be obtained.
But have not yet heard Of any definite ae-
tion to boycott the one-man car. We fear this Is
necessary If the District is to be rid Of the nuis
anees. Hundreds of individuals. it is true, have
fallen in line with the movement-and willing
toEwark for block to avoid the discomfort
Of riding and save time in getting to work. But
action by organizations is essential. The compa-
mics must be shown that the citizens deter
mined to make the one-man a losing PROPOSE
tion hnancialy-that it will cost them dollars and
cents for every day they keep the eontrivances on
the tracks.

the chicken-eoops nave oeen introduced fernaps
they will render a good service after all. They
may reduce the street to an absurdity as
means OF urban travel and hasten the day when
tracks will be torn up and rapid transit service
substituted. Dealers in cheaper makes of automo-
biIes tell US that their business has increased by
leaps and bounds in all the neghborhoods where
the chicken-coops have been inflicted upon the
people Some families which have delayed as long
as possible the expense Of purchasing have
hesitated no longer when given such forceful
object lesson
For the sake OF the traction officials them
selves we regret that they blind both to the
interest of the public and of themselves. 1t is
triAs pathetic to watch the old systems, which
have played worthy part in the development of
the city in their day. drift into the junk heap The
progress can be delayed for time if the chicken
coops are scrapped.

Lives of forty passengers were endan-

ability to keep the car under perfect control-re-

not have this control he is a source of danger.
