Rural Teachers Migratory Mobile Mob
Of Maidens Med itating Matrimony
Educator Deplores Conditions
in Average Country School
in United States.

Mabel Carney, assistant professor of
rural education, teachers college. Co
lumbia university, believes the coun-
try school child receives but little
more than half of the educational op-
portunity afforded the average city
child. She made this statement Fri
day afternoon in a discussion of
Rural School Conditions and Needs
before members of the county super
intendents' section of the teachers
convention.
Few people realize the true con-
ditions Of country schools throughout
the United States. or know anything
Of their real rating and efficiency as
contrasted with typical city schools" !"
she said.
Her statistics included statements
that 5000 rural teachers of the Unit
ed States have gone no further
| academically than the sixth grade and
10000 have completed only the eighth
grade; also that 23 per cent. or about
10000 of the rural teachers of this
country, have had less than two years
of education beyond the common
school and approximately 100000 are
not four-year school graduates.
10000 Without Preparation.
Less than per cent of all rural
teachers of this country are normal
school graduates and at least 10000
new recruits enter rural schools each
year without a day of professional
preparation.
ITO make matters worse, most rur-
al teachers" she added, stay but a
short time in the country and escape
to town schools or something more
alluring as soon as opportunity offers.
Indeed, county teachers In general,
as cleverly stated by DIR. George E.
Vincent, former president of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota. constitute but
"A migratory mob of mobile maidens
meditating matrimony." Thus the
average rural school is constantly
supplied with the teachers with the
teachers who are not only unframed,
but inexperienced as well.
Who Can Blame Them.
But who can blame trained teach
ers for stunning the average rural
school, certainly not those who have
tried rural teaching themselves. Re.
fleet briefly upon a few of the handi.
caps involved. There is salary, for In
stance. The average salary for rural
teachers throughout the United
States is still only s729. Grade teach.
ers in town schools, on the other
hand, average $1,141.
Consider living conditions also.
Who would actually prefer to eat cold
lunches, live in an unheated room,
trudge three miles a day over bad
roads, when she could do otherwise?

cent wage cut inaugurated week ago, although they have returned to their looms The same is true to 14,0OO op- eratives i'll the Amoskeag Mills in Manchester.
 The workers, it was learned, were virtually driven back to their jobs by their leaders on threat of being ex- pelled from their national unions. This threat alone, 1t was explained, did not accomplish the acceptance of the wage slash The mill hands were promised that just as soon as a certain number of workers had been enrolled under the textile union banner demand will be made upon the mill owners that they either restore the wages cut or be made responsible for strike.
 There was general agreement that showdown would come before election day. The fact that President Com pers of the American Federation of Labor, has asked the textile workers to resist all wage cuts was explained as having much to do with the fighting spirit now being displayed by the work CTS. McMahon explained that when the textile workers go on strike 1t will be with full cooperation of the American Federation.
 McMahon said that this Endorsement of the recent vote of the United Tex tile Workers of America, with which the Rhode Island council IS affiliated carried with 1t authority for him to call for action on the part of the op- eratives at such time and such place as he decides without further notice.
 We will use every reasonable in f1uencs to avoid a strike" he said, but If this cut in wages IS not re- stored the battle will be on. We do not want an impromptu strike. It IS possible that enough influence can be brought to bear on the manufacturers to restore the cut, but only through organization. The manufacturers must restore wages or we will have scrap,
 McMahon said that his statement and the vote applies to all other mills which might put wage reductions into effect.
