WOMAN TEACHERS
STILL LEAD men
0utnumber Other Sex In U. S.
Elementary Schools, but
Not Abroad.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
While increasing numbers Of men
have chosen education as o career in
recent years, teaching remains pre-
dominantly a woman's occupation In
the elementary and secondary schools
of the United States.
A Nationwide survey conducted
under the auspices of the United
States once of Education discloses
that about seven-eighths of all rural
teachers, nineteen-twentieths Of all
other elementary teachers, three
fourths of the junior high school and
nearly two-thirds of the senior high
school teachers are women.
In many European countries, how
ever, men substantially outnumber
women in the elementary and Sec
ondary school staff, tending to dis
prove the theory held by some that
teaching below the college level is dis
tinctly an occupation for women.
Men Lead In Switzerland.
Comparatively recent statistics
showed that in the secondary schools
of Switzerland only IL per cent of the
teachers were women, while in the
secondary schools Of the United States
So per cent of the teachers were fem
mime. Wide variation among the
States is indicated by returns from
Indiana, which showed that men con-
stituted 40 per cent of the one and
two teacher school stats, while in
New Hampshire, Connecticut and
Maine less than per cent OF these
teachers were men.
The survey states: American pub
lie schools are taught predominantly
by young, unmarried women with lit
tie teaching experience and with that
little obtained in two or more different
school systems" It was found that
the minimum age at which persons
may be certified at teachers "is so low
in many States that inadequate prepa-
ration and tranSiency are encouraged.
Rural Schools Suffer.
Data presented on age, experience
and transiency of teachers indicate
tIldl IIl6 Iu1 dA SCAlOOAo haNG cuACICu
"a very severe educational handicap
because they have had to take young
teachers and then we're unable to re-
tain the services of those teachers after
they had gained their initial expert
ence at the expense Of the rural chill
dren."
A number of States have attempted
to protect the schools against imma-
turity on the part of teachers by pre-
scribing minimum age limits below
which teachers will not be given cer-
tificateS. Thirty-two States had such
regulations in 1881. OF these, one
State specified Is years as the mini
mum; four States, II years; 26 States,
l8 years, and one State, 19 years.
The 1880 census gave the median
age of 943,6s3 white teachers as 29.1
| years.

AGAINST z LAWYERS
Denver Attorneys Accused Of
Conspiracy in Urschel Kid

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, June 1.-THE
Government brought out its evidence
today in the trial of Ben B. Laska,
Denver attorney, and James C. Math-
ers, Oklahoma City lawyer, both
charged with conspiracy in the $780,
600 k1dnaping of Charles F. Urschel.
The two are accused of accepting
as fees part of the ransom money.
The opening session was to be de-
voted to Identification of letters and
kilograms upon which the Government
bases its contention that the alleged
conspiracy to kidnap Urschel was
completed several weeks before the
actual abduction and continued into
effect until after the indictment Of
Laska and Mathers.
Laska in his opening statement
charged he was victim of persecu-
ton" Once before he had charged
that the Government was seeking to
gain revenge" because he spoiled"
its record by gaining acquittal Of an
accused kidnaper.
Laska, the Government alleges, re-
ceived $4,000 in ransom money, for
defending Albert Bates, one Of the
convicted Urschel snatch gang. The
1000 which Mathers is accused Of
receiving was his fee for his part in
the defense of Harvey Bailey, also
convicted. Both Bates and Bailey now
are serving life terms at Alcatraz
Island.
