SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS?
To School Directors. Parents and
Other Citizens:

Other Citizens:
HEAR that you are facing a
shortage of teachers That is a seri-
Gus situation. Your children, the fu-
ture voters. community citizens and
perhaps officials of the township,
county, state and nation need an
education.
What is an education? 1t is the
training given to fit an individual
for a happy, useful life. Many factors
enter into 'that-the physical, the
mental, the moral and the religious.
We commonly believe that the
Church takes care of the religious
training, and the school provides the
physical, moral and mental. But let
us not forget that the home has its
responsibility in contributing TO the
proper training of the child. ] use
the word proper" with purpose.
Much of the home training is pro-
vided by example. Cleanliness Of
body and mind, thriftiness, honesty,
cooperation, ability to meet people
easily and courteously, and happi-
ness are but a few factors in which
the home training counts SO much.
This is not said to give the teacher
a chance to lie down on the Job"
It is her job, and, parents, it is your
job.
Why is there such shortage of
teachers? Various reasons are quite
evident. To mention a few of them:
Most so-called teacherages are not
fit to live in. They are cold, drafty,
dirty, too small. The neighborhood
people consider it a public place
even expect to make farm organiza-
tons coffee in the teachers kitchen.
Let's remember it is the teachers
home; it should be respected as such.
You want an educated, refined
teacher. That is what you should
have, but you should also have for
her a respectable. comfortable, mod
ern place to live-not corner of the
class IOOlll3 d Cl1pDy 11OlC 44C2At W g1AS
furnace room, or half of the cloak
room. She is entitled to better thar
that, and can get it doing other
work.
The salary-she needs as much fol
the essentials of life as anyone, anc
is expected to continue her educa
ton besides.
Finally, the teacher is hired t,
