TEACHERS PENSION
 IS URGED BY NE. A.
Permanent Tenure Guarantees Also Considered at Convention

II Washington, June S0- Retiremen allowances for teachers, permanent
 tenure guarantees and the education bill, the three main questions up fol 1 discussion at this years annual meet. ing of the national education associa
 ton, formed the subject of report.
 and addresses at today's general con. 1 ference of the assoication.
 With Miss Olii c M. Jones. president ! Of the association, in the chair, re- ports of committees were submitted cn the three subjects with one hour l allotted for discussion of each. Philip F.. Carlson, principal Of the i Minneapolis Roosevelt High school. submitting the report on retirement allowances declared every state should enact sound teacher retirement law to protect children from teachers ren- dered incompetent by advanced age;
 to attract capable persons in to the teaching profession, and to protect the public from tho waste of an ex- pensive school plant manned by su-
 perannuated teachers. School boards,
 he said, should not have to choose
 between retaining a teacher after he
 IS Incompetent from old age or dis
 missing teacher who ha given years of faithful service with the knowledge that he has no means of support"
 The report of the committee on tenure was introduced by Fred NJ. Hunter superintendent of schools at Oakland. Cal, who urged that per manent tenure be introduced to en- sure the best possible teachers and fo free the profession from the men ace' of political appointees. The measures recommended, he said. would guarantee to teachers a secur- ity in their positions during good be- haViour and efficiency, after a suit able probationary period.
 George n. Strayer, professor of school administration at Columbia university sponsored committee re- ported a&ocating the passage of the Sterling Reed education biIl, under which federal department 6f educa- tion. with secretary of education would be established
 Dr. Strayer declared the creation Of such department would make nos sihle scientific investigation in the field of education similar 10 the which has already been so effectively carried on in the field of agriculture and commerce under the auspices of the federal government"
 Leadership Of the federal govern ment lis badly needed" Dr Strayer said, in the matter Of educational n- nance, and in the revision of the huh. lie school curriculum. The latter is at present handicapped hy the lack Of necessary data, he said Asserting ihat the bill would further ensure tbo employment Of only, fully qualified teachers, Dr. strayer said this conld be accomplished "by annually appro. nriating n maximum of SIS. .ona. .ooo ,o aid the states in training the teach. ITS"
 Finally hs saif, the measure aims Q reduce the gIaring educational fin. ! 'qualities that mock the nations deals and which Rre shown in tho ast census listing l.i37,Doo children i rom 10 iS years Of age as no, at. 1 ending any kind of educational in.
