WORK HOLDS MORALS
AND BUSINESS ALLIED
Declares Public Service Highest
Calling In Address Before
Rotarian Educators.

= GOOD morals and good business, we
have at last learned, are necessary TO
each other. and, incidentally. even the
professions have been compelled to
develop a business sense" Secretary
Of the Interior Hubert Work told
Rotarian educators at the New VIII
lard this afternoon.
1T Is a pleasure" Secretary Work
continued, ito meet so many men who
have devoted their lives to public serv-
ice. Public service is the highest
avenues for expression. The greatest
rewards to those so engaged come tc
the most self-forgetting."
During the course Of his speech on
Public Service" before the Rotarians
DR.. Work paid the following tribute
to woman:
Woman was designed by Provi-
dence for the preservation, not the
perversion, OF mankind. Our civiliza
ton hangs on her chastity of mind
and body. The fall of the Roman
Empire was contributed to by its
women. History is again repeating 1t
self. She that was about to be stoned
was protected from the mob, but she
was advised to deport herself. Ne
asylum was promised her among he1
kind. but she was told TO go and
sin no more
Yet it was a woman who opened
our eyes for a first look on the world.
Our first prayer was said to a woman.
Our first day IN school marked a
mothers surrender. A woman guided
us through the metamorphosis OF a
boy. when no one but his mother
could love him. Our first ambitions
were vistoned through a halo about
the face Of a young woman. And
when called out into the night to start
on our last journey, somewhere, alone,
we will not be afraid II A woman may
hold our hand"

SAYS MANY TEACHERS
LACK PREPARATION
Fifty Per Cent Without Special
Training, Is View Of College
President.

The declaration that $50 per cent Of
our teachers have had no special prep
aration for their work. was made be-
fore the National Council of Educa-
ton, meeting in the Hotel Powhatan
this afternoon. by Charles McKenny.
president of the State Teachers Col
lege. Ypsilanti. Mich.
"A comparatively small fraction Of
the whole" he added, have had prep
aration which may be called adequate
for the responsibility which they as
sumo. Because Of the low standards
required for entering the profession
and because Of economic situations q
very large per cent Of the teachers Of
America go into the schools unframed
for their job. The problem then Is
how to help these teachers to improve
themselves while they are actually In
service.
1.-The two opportunities for academic
and professional improvement while in
service are Summer schools and ex-
tension study. A study of Summer
two years ago by the committee on
teachers colleges, and today We are
submitting through this committee
report on extension courses.
An inquiry sent to 1913 teacher
training institutions listed as colleges
or normal schools by the Bureau Of
Education yielded replies from 1875.
The reports received were from ~
States. The States that did not report
were Wyoming. Delaware, Florida,
Montana. Nevada, Utah. OF the 1875
institutions reporting, "a offered some
form of extension work: and Of the "a.

Is of two types. extension classes, the
nature of which we are all familiar
with, and correspondence study.
Twenty-Five offered extension work

more women obtain a longer period of
professional and economic oppor-
tunity?
80 many young women plan
temporarily for work over l to S
years instead of 40 to so years, as
men do. We must teach girls in high
school and college to take the long
look In preparation for professional
life inasmuch as their economic re-
sponsibility may be increased rather
than decreased by marriage.
Women must also learn concentra-
ton and not let themselves in teach
ing be made responsible for so much
outside work. student activities, social
matters. community interests. so
that their energies are too widely dis
persed. Again, women need to Learn
to begin to invest a percentage of
their earnings regularly and early, sc
that they may be able to have house
and home and some assurance of eco
nomic safety behind their professional
life. Often women do not assume re
sponsibilities or make connections as
citizens OF the community in which
they hold position. They need to reg
lister and cast their vote. Join 2
church. attach themselves to clubs
and organizations in the places where
they earn their living"

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
DUE FOR ADVANCE
Speakers at N. e. A. Confer
ence Predict Elevation to
MRecognized Profession"

Prediction that within a few years
the position Of school principal will be
a recognized profession for which per-
sons will undergo special training was
made by James F. Hosie. Columbia
University, and Frank Wright. State
department Of education, Massachu-
sets, In addresses this afternoon be.
fore the department OF elementary
school principals. National Education
Association, in the Warrington Audi.
forum.
Mr.. Hosie said Tradition rather
than educational craftsmanship has
made the Office Of principal Of an ele-
mentary school what 1t is today. The
five years just past, however. have
wide movement plainly destined to re-
suit in making the principalship truly
a profession. The principal Of the fu-
ture will be trained for his special
task.
Basic Conditions Cited
I'm organizing that training certain
basic considerations must be taken
into account. Principals must be
trained not merely to conduct the ele
mentary school as we have known It.
but to manage the newer type OF ele-
mentary school now coming into
being. The new school Is larger. 1t
provides a varied program for chill
dren of varying aptitudes. 1t uttlizes
services. such as feeding. psychologist
cal examining. counseling and library
service, rare or non-existent in the
traditional school. 1t Is a self-suffictent
unit in the sense that no part OF It's
program-music, drawing. practical
arts. health or other-is in charge Of
outsiders. Yet it enjoys expert advice
from all possible outside sources"
Classed as Career.
The time has come when the ele-
mentary school principalship should
be looked upon as a career. with def
mite preparation and experience pre-
requisite to it's being entered upon."
said Mr.. Wright. Mr.. Wright con-
tinued, THE best leadership Of the
principal Is found in real leadership
for his pupils. In character, scholar
ship. and personality. worthy of emu
lation, he will find his greatest reward
in exemplifying to his pupils all that
Is best in life and In guiding the
thought and action Of the hundreds Of
youth who rightly look to him for
guidance"

Charities Leaders Make Plea
for Bill in Interest Of Co.

The report Of Mr. Wilson and DR..
Kober emphasizes that IAN inspec-
ton of the sleeping quarters for the
nurses simply emphasizes. what has
long been known. that these quar-
ters are woefully inadequate. The
nurses home is in an old brick build

adequate for the number OF nurses
at the hospital.
Equipment Inadequate.
The plumbing and toilet arrange
ments are Anticipated and made
quate. The second and third floors
Of the building are used for sleeping
rooms and the toilet facilities on
these floors are inadequate. On the
first floor four nurses are sleeping
because of the crowded conditions.
and on this floor there are no toilet
facilities whatever.
There are at the hospital usually
about 90 nurses, and of this number
the nurses HON accommodates only
20. The others sleep in an old wooden
building, known as the cottage,
formerly occupied by patients. Some
modern plumbing has been introduced
In this old building during the past
year and in this respect it Is now
much superior to the nurses home
proper. The hospital is very badly in
need of home for its nurses.
Whether the present brick structure
known as the nurses home can be
preserved and enlarged to advantage
Is q matter for the architect to work
out. Construction and repair work
at the hospital are by law under the
direction Of the architect Of the Cap

Delay Is Foreseen.
The hospital has recently made
suggestions to the architect for q

him to prepare plans for such a build.

this direction until at least another
