Maine Unable to
Provide Enough
Trained Teachers,
SAYS COm'r Thomas

maine is getting good service for
the amount of money she is spend
ing on education" says DR.. Augustus
o. Thomas. State commissioner of
education, in the introduction to a
bulletin of information concerning
school costs, rates of taxation and
salaries for the year ending June 80,
1925. just published by the State de-
partment of education.
I'VE are unable even yet to pro-
vide a sufficient number of trained
teachers" continues Commissioner
Thomas. "Other states are still call
ing teachers from us, but as the sal
aries increase and as conditions are
more satisfactory for teachers, there
is less inducement for them to leave
Maine. We believe that in due sea-
son we shall be able to hold our own
with other New England states.
ut should be observed, however,
that Maine being strictly rural. is
competing with other states that are
more urban. In the urban centers,
larger salaries are paid and the sal
aries increase in proportion to the
population. If you could take out of
Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Rhode Island the larger cities and
have a situation similar to that of
Maine, Maine would stand well in
comparison.
maine teachers are loyal to the
extent of patriotism. They deserve
great credit and such compensation
as towns are able to give. l would
urge that school committees and SUI
perintendents make an effort to Sc
cure a group of trained teachers
wherever it is possible. If it is inn
possible to secure well trained. well
prepared teachers towns should take
the best teachers they have in their
schools and encourage them to at
tend summer school or possibly take
a year at school. constantly build
ing up the staff until it becomes sat
isfactory in it's rating. School Of
ficials can do much to bring up the
professional rating of the State.
Better Buildings and Equipment.
buildings and equipment are
rapidly growing better. Our dtten-
ton now must be directed in the main
to the improvement of our teachers
and the improvement of teaching.
There is a technique OF teaching just
as important as the technique of law,
of medicine or of engineering. 1t is
beyond peradventure that teachers
who are trained in the art of techni-
que of teaching, everything else be-
ing equal can render a decidedly
better service. A little more efforts
and a little better compensation will
induce our hest young people to pre-
pare for the work and to continue in
teaching. No matter what may come,
superintendents should constantly
keep before the teachers the need of
thorourh instruction in the elemen-
tary school subjects. This Is truly
vital. A good teacher should know
when her pupils can spell well. write
well. read we'll. cipher we'll and have
a proper appreciation Of human
courtesies."
