GOOD TEACHERS

It has never been an easy matter
to get really competent school teach
ers. Plenty of young women and
some men have usually been avail
able for the job. But it is line of
work calling for both special gifts
and special preparation. The num-
Der who have both sets of qualifica-
tions is not abundant.
The conditions arising out of the
war led many girls who previously
would have sought to become school
teachers, to enter the business world.
The time required for preparation
is not so long for ordinary business
positions. There was time for a
year or two when teachers salaries
had not been advanced much, when
many schools were without teachers,
and many had to employ persons
who had very little preparation.
Since that period, teachers sala-
ries have been advanced substantial
" and the calling is more attrac-
tive financially than it was. But
complaint is still made by many
school authorities, that large part
of the brainy girls they desire are
still going into business.
The difficulty is made more pro-
nounced by the fact that these
young teachers get married SC
rapidly. After superintendent
have chased all over the section to
find competent young women for
this work, it is rather Disappointing
to have them get married after cal
ling in life. One should rather be
glad that men show the sense to
prefer these we'll educated girls who
must be specially competent to raise
up families to be good citizens.
Girls who care considering the
choice of occupations should realize
that there are many attractions in
school teaching. Teachers have to
work harder than many people sup
pose. Yet their long vacations, and
the broad culture that comes, are
advantages that tend to happy and
rewarding career.

is THE COUNTRY
oVER.PoPULATED

The difficulties encountered by
many Of the farmers since the defle-
ton of 1921 have led some people
to assume that too many folks are
trying to make a living by farming.
A multitude Of people have left
the country districts during the past
two years, and have gone into the
cities and towns, where high wages
arc being paid. But it is usually the
case in all such sudden movements,
that the thing is overdone. 1t would
seem as if at the present time the
cities have about all the people they
need.
The unfortunate thing about this
migration is, that so frequently the
country towns loee many Of their
brightest and most active people.
Folks like these are wanted at home,
and they need not think there is
going to be no opportunity in rural
industry for the next ten years.
The difficulties such as the far.
mers have experienced for the past
two years always right themselves
within a comparatively short time.
They are caused in large measure
by the very high wages paid in cities,
which makes all manufactured pro
ducts cost high. Also it establishes
high level of wages for farm help.
The migration of a million or two
of people from the country districts
will tend to rcadjust the balance
that has been out Of order. 1t will
tend to reduce the surplus of farm.
products, and lead foodstuffs to sell
nearer for their market value. Also
it will supply sufficient labor sup
ply for the cities, so that it will not
be possible to keep pushing labor
costs higher and higher.
In year or two farm products
will sell higher, and competition be-
tween the manufacturing industries
is likely to driye their prices lower.
When that time comes farming win
give a better opportunity than the
ordinary run of employment in
cities, where work is irregular and
costs Of living high.
