PAGE EIGuf LOCAL SPEAKERS AID TEACHERS IN THEATRE TALKS Point Out Situation Facing Na-| tion as Result of Low Sal- aries Paid by Schools ‘ SYSTEM IS IN DANGER Four-minute talks are being made in theaters this week by local speak- ers who have volunteered to aid in the observance of National Teachers’ week. H * The purpose of the campaign is to induce young men and women of ability to enter the teaching profes- sion and to compel school boards by the force of public opinion to reward teachers with a fair compensation for the services which they render. Leaders in the movement feel that much has ben accomplished by the four-minue talks. Capt. A. A. Jones, formerly a mem- ber of the board of education in Bismarck, opened this speaking cam- paign on Tuesday evening when he gave four talks, System in Danger “The United States was the first nation to devote part of its publi: funds to the sole purpose of educa- tion and we have one of the best edu- cational systems in the world and we do not want to go backward,” said Mr. Jones. “The public school system of the United States is facing a menace if not an actual danger. So many schools are closed because of the shortage of teachers, and in some cases those that are not closed ar2 taught by older pupils. ‘The situation is no better in North Dakota than in the United States as | The best wine sold a whole, Not only must the teacher , have an increase in salary but one blame the.school board for not taking what are we going to do about it? that is sufficient to insure a living | any action that you will not support,, The situation is state wide and local, wage. And it is to be hoped that | Bismarck will be a leader and not aj follower in this movement.” ! A Serious Question Judge lL. E. Birdzell, of the state supreme court, speaking at the Rex and Orpheum theaters, said in part: “It behooves everyone throughout | the nation to consider the serious question that is confronting the cour- try and to prevent the downward trend in our educational system. There are few who are trained adequately , for the teaching profession. The reason for this is because the public has not paid sufficient attention to see to it that they have been properly provided for. Let me illustrate the situation in this state. We have in this state 4 bureau that has been investigating wages which working girls receive. That bureau after elaborate investi- gation has ascertained that working girls, working in all of the towns and stores in this state require for a liv- ing over $74.00 per month, ‘The aver- age wage of: our school teacher. fig- ured on the twelve month basis is about $55.00 per month,. So you cah that they are much below. the minimum wages that are being paid for working girls.

Then support whatever is needed and in the end you will have a happy school teacher in love with her work in every) school in North Dakota.” ! Cc. ‘L. Young, speaking in’ the Orpheum and Eltinge, said in part: i Facing a Crisis “Our public school system is facing a crisis. Never in history has it had. the responsibility that it has today. The big word now is democracy, Our. institutions are being controlled by the will of the majority: "The “judg- ment of the majority will be right ‘2, the intelligence and the knowledge ! and the moral fiber’of the individital, judgment will’ be right and this is dependent ‘upon, the training’-of the individual and we have delegated this training to the public schools. Now the’ ‘big ‘factor, the eminent. force, in -our public school system is not buildings, not: equipment, not books, not course of study, It. is teachers——trained qualified teachers. “In the Unitéd States we have 650,- 000. Last year 143,000 of'them re- tired from) the teaching profession because their’ compensation wag" in: adequate. 29,000 have only’ an eight grade education. 30,000 have not to exceed a’ high ‘school. education, 160,000 positions “are « vicant :or’0c- cupied ‘by unqualified. teachers, atid -it, is anticipated that there will be. 250; 000 vacancies this.year. Noed 40,000 ‘Teachers - “To fill these yacancies ‘there -will he just 40,009 trained’ teachers. turned out by the normal schools and’ train- ing school in the United States. And why? Because the compensation: .3t eachers is inadequate and because there is no proper provision for their. ‘dvancement.' Ditch diggers, section men, barbers, janitors are paid’ higher ; wages than. teachers are receiving. “The commercial world is. bidding for their service. The commercial ‘world is rewarding merit and the public’ school system so far as. teach- ers supply .i8 concerned’ is. in. com- petition with the commercial world.” }- “During tha last four years the attendance at normal schools has de- LIFT OFF CORNS: WITH FINGERS Dresn’t hurt a bit and costs only few cents Z Magic!
