Magill, field secretary of the National Educational association, and received from Wash- ington by Governor Burnquist. There are 8,980 teaching posi- tions in the state. During the last year, according to the report, 2,117 teach- ers, or 23.57 per cent of the teachers of Minnesota, dropped out of the profession. Two.thousand three hundred and fifty new teachers entered in September and the exact total shortage of teachers was 1,079, or 12.01: per cent.. This ratio includes 568 teachers who are below standard requirements, and an actual shortage of 516, ) In reply to the question asked in the survey if teachers’ salaries have increased as salaries have: ther vocations, the reply from 53 Minnesota superintendents was in the negative. Negative answer was also’ given to the question: “Have teach- ers’ salaries increased in proportion to cost of living?” “These reports reveal a very serious situation,”” Mr. Magill wrote to the governor. “They show not only a-present short- age of teachers, but that teachers throughout the country are leaving the profession, and that promising young men and women are not being attracted to teaching, as in the past. “The relation of public education to the welfare of the state and nation, as well as the individual, is so important that statesmen- everywhere are taking deep interest in problems relating to the public school.” = Poor pay and the high cost of living, according to the findings of the secretary, are responsible for the present teach- ing situation. . g : STATE ROAD PROGRAM HELD LURE TO TOURISTS.

Why not start a campaign for the purpose of taking the buckles out of ladies’ overshoes? A lady.is not in ‘style these days unless she wears her two and three-buckle overs wide open. " S ——o— NOT REALLY RED HOT. Anent the local municipal campaign it can’t be said that there is a great deal of enthusiasm on the part of either of the factions. But perhaps here is a smoldering volcano underneath, which may at any moment start an eruption. 5 CANNON MISSED FIRE. The Akeley Herald-Tribune says: ‘“John" Cannon, engineer on the K-Line passenger, was held up the other evening, at Bemidji, just as he was leaving the round house.

Albert Capellani, the noted. direc tor, states that ‘‘Oh, Boy!” which he picturized from the musical comedy success of the same name, can legiti- mately lay glaim to being that rare thing in maiion pictures, a produc- tion of purely farcical ngture. ‘Oh, Boy!” is entirely devoid of incidents ‘bearing even a remote resemblance to melodrama, because Mr. Capellani has employed -a wholly. farcical treat- ment, and by cleverl dents of a romantic nature. through a series of highly imteresting:farcical ! situations,; has succeedéd without the aid of any sinister or dramatic ele- ment in registering a swiftly-moving and highly diverting light comedy that embodies all the qualities of public apeal. . “Oh, Boy!” will have its premiere in this city at the Rex theatre to- night and Saturday.
