The lap of fortune was piled high
with lavish gifts for James Keteltas

the Youngest reading man on the
American stage; at as fell heir to
$1,000,0 900 and a few years later, in
1921, was honored by officials of the

E. E. OberholtZer. superintendent of

cannot measure scientifically the SUI
pervisory efficiency of the supervisor

by many Of our older. teachers.
1.-THE majority of young teachers"
continued Mr.. Reed, ARE not averse
to supervision; in fact, they welcome
1t provided it is the right kind. Teach
ers are extremely critical Of the kind
of supervision which they receive.
They must feel that the supervisor
has greater knowledge Of classroom
methods and more still in demonstrate
ing them than they have or they are
not ready to accept the supervisor"

Mr.. Simpson explained a State De

The transmitting plant of WGBS
In New York has been moved from
the congested district at Thirty-third
street, in Manhattan, to a location in
Astoria, in an effort to permit the
station to reach a greater area and
penetrate the blanket of steel and
other air Instructions in the Metropo-

sent by telephones lines to the new
transmitter.
WGBS suspended operations Tues

first test in the new location, accord
ing to fan reports, showed an increase
in reception and an obliteration of

Supervisors Told.

Emphasizing that there is no avail

that grades in college correlate with

State University of Iowa. Iowa City,
Iowa, declared in an address before
the National Society of College Teach
ers of Education, at Corcoran Hall
this afternoon ''in our thinking about
teacher selection. il would be useful
to sharply distinguish between apti-
tude In general and competence in
specific subjects
I'm selecting teachers for high
positions, what proof have we that
superintenden should look at the
grades Of the candidates received in
school or the sorority or church to
which they may belong? Also. is an
"A grade in one college equivalent to
an "A grade in another college?"
Mr. Knight recommended a test for
selecting teachers. He said it is pos
Sible to make five forms Of test for
elementary teachers and to show that
the scores upon it do correlate with
teacher success.

UNIFORM SALARY
ISSUE DEBATED
Single Wage Scale Extending
Through School System Up
held and Opposed.

The question OF single salary
schedule for public schools was up
held by two educators and opposed
by a third in addresses this afternoon
before group meeting ID OF the de.
partment Of superintendent. National
Eduction Association, at the Washing
ton Hotel.
Alma Krusen. president OF the
Denver Classroom Teachers Associ-
alton. and W. +. Webster. superintend-
ent of schools of Minneapolis, Mimi,
declared the scheme put no heavy
burdens on their cities and was en-
tirely satisfactory to the public as
we'll as the teachers. Russell A.
Sharp of Kansas City, however. op-
posed the schedule because, he said, II
must ultimately reduce high school
salaries; il will weaken the educa-
tional system by eliminating all men
and the best women from the class
room, and it is financially impractic-
able in that school districts are not
rich enough to pay decent salary
to teachers with two years training
and at the same time offer an ade-
quate increment to induce teachers
to secure four years of training.
Miss Krusen said the single salary
schedule was adopted in Denver be
cause our educational leaders have
come to see that the successive steps
in a child's educational career are
equally important and that teachers
of the various steps require equal,
though not necessarily the same, train
ing and ability"
Mr.. Webster said the scheme in
Minneapolis lis not at all complicated
and had been so arranged that 1t put
no heavy burden upon the city in any
single year The one thing most i'm
portant is that a salary schedule
which takes cognizance of credits and
degrees and neglects to note the quail
itv of the teaching is palpably unjust. 1"

SCORES ATTITUDE
TOWARD TEACHERS
Change in Public Indifference
Will End Money Worries,
Says Speaker.

When public indifference toward
the educational field has disa ppea red
forever the opportunities for child
hood will have increased beyond our
power tG reckon and the teachers will
all be able to give their entire energy
and most courageous cheer into this
great work, for they will no longer
divide the strength that ought to be
given 10 the work they love in vaguely
trying to make one dollar do the work
of two
The foregoing statement was made
a the conclusion of an address given
this afternoon by Mary McSkimmon,
president of the National Education
Association and principal of the Pierce
School, Brookline, Mass, before the
department of elementary school prin-
clpals of the association in the Wash
ington Auditorium.
The elementary school teacher or
principal who arroganrly claims the
right to cramp the l2-year-old is only
little less criminal than the curri-
cula expert who ariStocratically straps
him to a machine that StandardiZes
the cramping and stunting." A. F.
Winship. editor of the Journal of Edu-
cation. Boston. declared in an address
before the principals.
Mr.. Winship's address was followed
tute for Public Service. New York
City, who scored the lack of publicity
for education. '.Education's own
spokesman" he declared, ARE closing
more doors to educational publicity
than are editors of newspapers and
magazines. Official statements about
education that are dashed off, drooled
off in uncourteous disregard of read
ers and auditors are robbing schools
of support and understanding which
teachers earn and publics want to
give"

measure the quality of instruction and
the pupils mastery of the subject.
They may interpret q syllabus or

If these purposes are to be fully
