SAYS TRAINING OF SCHOOL
TEACHERS HAS IMPROVED
DIR. A. S. Cook Makes Report On
Elementary Educators In
Maryland Counties

Training of white elementary school
teachers in the Maryland counties has
shown much improvement in the last
four years, according to a comparison
of figures on the subject for the years
1921 and 1924, as set forth in the an
nual report of Albert S. Cook, State
Superintendent of Schools.
While in 1921 only about one-third
of the 5000 elementary teachers in
the counties were holders of first
grade certificates, in 1924 approx
mately two-thirds of the teachers
held certificates given normal school
graduates, the report shows.
There still are 1000 white elemen-
tary teachers, mainly in rural schools,
who have not had the type of train
ing to insure maximum results, the
report points out, but since more than
half of the normal school graduates
are going out into the rural schools,
it is predicted this condition will be
corrected in a few years.
Queen Anne's county stands at the
top of the list in the training of it's
elementary teachers, having a certi-
fieation score of 1922, che report re-
veals. Baltimore county takes second
place, with score of 81, while St.
Mary's is at the bottom with 44.6.
The average for the % counties is
TIA.
The report follows:
There are slightly more than 5000
teachers employed in the white public
elementary schools of Maryland's
counties. In 1920 about one-third of
these could be considered as having
satisfactory training. e., compile
ton of high school and normal school
courses, or their equivalent. Another
third had had only high school edu-
cation, and the remaining third had
had less than that, some having fin
ished only the seven grades of the
elementary school course taught by
teachers of similar inadequate prep
aration.
Now nearly two-thirds have the
first-grade certificate given to normal
school graduates, nearly a fourth
have only a high scnooi education,
and the small remainder, only II per
cent, are teaching with little more
preparation for their work than the
children in the upper grades they are
teaching.
Here are the detailed figures giving
a comparison for the fall of 1921 and
this year:

The score is increasing at present
by about six points a year for the
counties as whole. Progress toward
the goal of trained teacher in every
classroom in Maryland will be as
sured only as the counties at the
bottom of the list provide adequate
high school opportunities and send a
larger number Of their high school
graduates to the State normal
schools.

The State normal schools, which
have been graduating 800 students
annually for the last two years, as a
their training made by the Legisla-
ture of 1920, the wider provision of
high school education and the more
adequate salary schedule established
in 1922 by the Legislature have been
the chief factors in this improve
ment. But there still are 1000 white
elementary school teachers, chiefly in
the rural schools, who have not had
the type of training the teachers of
every boy and girl in the State should
have, if the maximum results are to
be expected from our schools. More
than half of our normal school grad
yates are going out into the rural
schools and in few years this condi-
ton will be corrected.
Records Made By Counties.
Some of the counties, however, have
very fine record in the training of
their teachers. They have been scored
for this so that a county having it's
entire staff composed of teachers
holding first-class certificates would
score 100 per cent. A teacher hold
ing a second-grade certificate is
ranked as so per cent in training and
the teacher with only a third-grade
certificate is counted as only rs per
cent in academic and professional
preparation for her important work
in teaching children.
The counties are listed below in the
order of their score in the training of
the teachers in their white elemen-
tary schools.

PRICE BOOST SEEN
 M COTTON GOODS Market Steadier, Buying h. creases After Ginning Reports

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Satisfaction with the results oft the national election and gratifying government cotton re- port on ginning and probable yield com7 plned to greatly increase the confidence of cotton goods merchants and manu- facturers during the past week. Buy ing has been of a strong and broad character, and many contracts have been entered into calling for deliveries into the first quarter of next year.
 Fall River reported sales of 0,000 pieces of print cloths in two days this week, the largest made in that center in many months. Print cloths, sbeet- ings and convertibles were active and prices advanced from Ac to 1sc a yard on many constructions. Bleached cot- tons advanced Ac a yard. Ginghams are selling at the low prices recently named Percales are moving better, and there is steady advance business developing on wash fabrics of a fancy character. In some New England mills wage revisions have taken place, vary ing from 10 to 12ls per cent, without friction with the workers. Heavy goods are less active, but some of the manu- featuring trades using medium weight special fabrics have been contracting ahead, and there is more buying by the big manufacturers.
 Yarns are from to % pound higher. Prices current in primary markets are as follows:

STOCK MARKET PUSHES UPWARD
 WITHOUT PAUSE
New Highs For Postwar Trading And All Time
 Are Scored
By EDWARD J. CONDLON

| Leased NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-With hardly a pause, the stock market this week pushed on to record-breaking prices scoring new highs for the postwar trading, and, in many instances new high levels for all time. Such an exhl- bition of continued strength can mean but one thing-that the present ad- vance is not built like house of cards ready to tumble at the first blow struck against it. Vital changes in the complexion of the business and trade news, if not political, and an unusually wide distribution of securities, are per haps the outstanding arguments which might be advanced against charges brought in some quarters that opera tions since election day have been large ly professional.
 Outside Buying Heavy Of the thousands of shares which have changed hands since election day, brokerage houses whose status in financial circles comes under the des1g- nation of "wire houses" on account of the fact that the preponderance of their orders is from out-of-town clients, nave done their lions share of the business on the exchange. This was not strictly true of the war baby" market of 1916, nor of the booms of the spring and fill of 1919.
 The mercantile review this week painted the most optimistic picture of trade and financial conditions seen in many a week. Added to this was the weekly statement of the Federal Reserve bank of New York and the combined statements of the 12 government re- gional institutions, which indicated that member banks had plenty of money of their own available for stock market purposes without borrowing. Money Relaxes
 The fact that call money relaxed to per cent again should not be accepted without interpretation. It must be re- membered that money for business pur- poses had a tendency to move higher this week, time accommodations being quoted at higher rates than last week, while the discount rates on bankers acceptances were increased B of l per cent.
 There was, of course, less urgent de- mand for securities at the close of the week. The markets Friday and Satur- day fell somewhat below the pace set In the previous sessions, but prices held very steady, with a profit taking read fly absorbed in most instances. For the first time since the present bull market began, both the railroad and industrial stock averages showed de- clines.
 Cotton prices this week have pointed higher, though the grain market has been very cratic. In foreign exchange, first honors went to sterling, which es- tablished a succession of new highs for the year on brisk buying locally and from abroad. Incidentally, guilders are now just shade under par and other European rates have scored fractional gains for the week with very few ex- ceDtiOnS,

PRICES OF STEEL
 BECOME PRIMER
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The volume of business in the steel market has in- creased materially during the week, with evidences of a general revival of confidence, despite reports of contem- plated foreign competition. Prices have hardened very noticeably and are par ticularly firm in the west. Producers are undecided as to values for first quarter, and this is checking forward business. The recent active buying of pig iron appears to have filled most urgent needs, and the market is quieter but with prices very firmly held
 Copper firm. Export demand has slackened to some extent at the ad- vance, but there has been a continued demand for domestic consumption, and while some copper is still available at the 1873 -cent level for November and December delivery, producers generally are asking 14c for the fourth quarter, and some business has been reported at that figure. Advances of Ac have been announced in prices for finished copper and brass products.
 Tin, after reacting to 54c for prompt straits under profit-taking, again re- stunned it's upward trend on demand from consumers and operators, stim- ulated by the rise in sterling and good business outlook generally.
 Lead showed no quotable change. Consumption continued good, and with producers having but little unsold metal for nearby shipment the undertone was strong.
 Zinc strong and more active, with a good domestic and export demand. Stocks reduced 7,26S tons in October and are now only about enough for three weeks supply an present rate of shipments.

BOOM DOMINATES
 WEEKS MARKETS
High Prices Were Maintained
 As Week Closes

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-A stock market boom of unprecedented propor- tions, with daily stock sales averaging in excess of 2,OOO.oOO shares, dominated this weeks financial markets. While there was appreciable slowing up in trading in the closing days of the week, with an unusually heavy volume of profit-taking, the high prices were well maintained, and there were no breaks of any consequence.
 Both stock and bond averages estab- lished new high levels for the year dur ing the week. Stiffening of time money rates, however, brought about rather active selling of some of the high-grade corporation and government issues.
 Foreign exchange rates advanced de- spite the heavy offerings of commercial bills on the principal European capi- tals. Demand sterling sold at $4.64, the highest price since last summer, while some of the Scandinavian and South American currencies also bettered their previous high marks this year.
 Commodity markets were irregular, but mostly higher.

GRAIN PRICES SET
 NEW HIGH RECORDS
Heavy Profit Taking Makes
 Increases Moderate

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Although new high price records for the season be- came frequent in the wheat market this week, heavy profit-taking sales kept the net advance moderate. Twenty mil lion bushels reduction of the estimated yield of wheat in Canada, together with prospective curtailment of wheat sup plies from Argentina and Australia had much to do with the upward tendency of values Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning showed 1e to 33sc c gain: corn was 3&c to 5Ac higher and oats at 1c to 1A d13sc advance. In pro- visions the changes varied from 32c de- cline to a rise of 97c.
 European crop estimates, totaling 36,000,000 bushels less than was indi- cated a month ago, made the wheat market sensitive to reports of unfavor- able crop conditions both in Argentina and Australia, even more so to an- nouncement of the big falling off in the Canadian governments figures on the amount of wheat grown this season in Canada.
 Independent strength of oats and corn rested to some extent on reports that corn growers were organizing to hold corn back for $1.5O a bushel. The United States government report on corn and the Canadian government re- port on oats were also stimulating factors.

BUTTER PRICES
 ADVANCE I CENT

CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-Light receipts and diminished stocks brought the but ter markets into a firmer and more ac- tive position during the week. All the markets showed from a half to one cent advance on all grades.
 The out of storage movement inn proved but not in proportion to the heavy movement into storage during the production period. The monthly storage report showed holdings of 135,- 251 900 pounds on November l, as compared with 76,472,000 on November 1, 1923. It was considered that the storage reductions will have to be al most doubled in order to reduce hold ings by May 1, 1925, to 5,000,000 pounds which is the average carry over on that date.
 Closing wholesale prices and price range 92 score butter at the principal markets follow: Chicago hc higher at 39c; New York, 1c higher at 4119c; Bos- ton 1c higher at 40c, and Philadelphia 1Ac higher at 41%c.
