TEACHER LOSS
A CRISIS NOW
George w. Wright, Assistant
Supt. of School Here, Urges
Legislative Action
URGE IMMEDIATE ACTION

with the increasing loss of
teachers from the public school
systems of the state, Delaware ed
ucation is facing one of its gravest
crisis" it was declared yesterday
by George w. Wright, Smyrna
school assistant superintendent and
chairman of the legislative COM
mittee of the Delaware State Edu-
cation Association. Mr.. Wright
said the situation is so grave that
it merits the full consideration of
the state legislature at the earliest
possible moment. 1.-THE loss of
teachers from our public school
system" Mr.. Wright said, threat
ems to jeopardize the high efficiency
which the Delaware Public School
System has for many years enjoy
ed, with multiple benefits to the
state and nation.
Teachers Go to Industry
1.-THE spiraling upward of salar-
les in industry" Mr.. Wright ex-
planned. ''is keeping pace with the
rising costs of living, as contrasted
with the static salaries Of employ
ees in our educational systems, the
result is that teachers are leaving
our schools to enter the more lucra-
tive employment of industry. 1t is
very evident that immediate steps
must be taken to equalize the pres.
ent great disparity between the
salaries of teachers and the wages
of industrial employees. Without
such equalization our schools will
be too severely handicapped
through the loss of many valuable
and efficient teachers to function
for the best interest of democracy.
Schools Must Be Protected
1.-THE responsibility for providing
the means for such equalization il
the legislatures" Mr.. Wright said
Our schools must be protected
from the further unnecessary loss
of indispensable personnel" he de-
clared. 1.-THE responsibility for this
: much needed and desirable salary
adjustment rests entirely with the
state legislature. Whether the
next session of the legislature is {
special or regular session, one o.
its first duties must be the adjust
ment of the difference between tn;
salaries of the employees Of ou
educational systems and the EN-
ployees in industry"
Immediate Action Urged
''The crisis in education" MI
Wright concluded, "is of grave
consequence to the people of tn
state than the matters for which i
was recently suggested that spec
ial legislative session be called. /
presses for immediate action. TIL
legislature can act too late; it can
not in the nature of things act to-
soon"
