BETTER PAY WORK "AND MARRIAGE UT TRACKERS’ RANKS Unusual Demand Prevails in Northwestern N. D. for Good Pedagogues Minot, N. D., Dec, 24.-A shortage oi teachers in northewestern North Dakota due to an “unusual” demand for replacements is reported by C. E. Scott, director of the Minot Teachers college training school. Although calls for teachers ordi- marily fall off to a marked degree shortly after the reopening of schools each fall, this year has witnessed vir- tually no diminution in the demand, Bcott says. Since Nov. 1, schoolmen and boards of education have submitted requests to the college for: Fifty rural teach- ers; eight grade school teachers; 10 high school instructors, and three sup- erintendents. Many Requests Earlier In the 10 preceding months—Jan- uary through October—68 calls for primary teachers, 64 for intermediate teachers, 82 for junior high school in- structors, and 168 for high school teachers in various subjects, were re- ceived, Scott said. The result is that few teachers are available now, although the demand continues, at the rate of three to six or more a week, he pointed out, Two factors—one economic, the other sociological—make for a short- age, The economic reason is the fact that many trained teachers are find- teachers placed during se 1oera, Shoe that of 246 cases, Scott , only one ing more lucrative employment in was in the $155 per month bracket.

Marriages Thin Ranks_ ‘The sociological factor is marriage. Since 1935 there has been a steady drain on teaching resources due to the marriage of many instructors. One result of the threatened short- age is an increase in the size of fresh- man classes at teachers colleges in the state within the past year, with the Minot institution well among the leaders, Scott said. With the pros- pect of employment, many young peo- ple are looking again toward the education field. Of the June, 1937, class of Minot. college graduates, “every one who has wanted a job has received one,” Scott reported, and graduates of a number of preceding years, who-have worked at other pursuits, are shifting back into the teaching field.

SHOULD ‘RELIEVE RELIEF Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 15, 1937. Editor, Tribune: I was very much interested in the letter of “A Bismarcker” appearing in The Tribune of December 10, en- titled “Wants Relief First.” Yes, let us have relief, but isn’t it about time we did something to relieve relief? The US.A. occupies about & per cent of the land area of the globe and possesses about 40 per cent of the actual -and potential wealth. In 1929 our nation was glutted with almost every good thing humans needed for their comfort and happiness but mil- lions were denied access to those things and we called them surplusses. Franklin Roosevelt, with undeni- able courage and high ideals, tackled | the situation. Four years of New Deal has passed and we now have the ad- vantage of retrospect. The view is re- vealing: what have we accomplished and how? Recently the President, with com- mendable frankness, told us that one third of the nation were “ill housed, il clad, ill nourished.” There has been just about a dozen housing set-ups, intended to induce the population to build and get in out of the weather, yet 40,000,000 still live in actual slum conditions with all its resultant human squalor, disease, crime, etc. Many ad- ditional millions, somewhat removed from slums, are still poorly housed. A dark picture but a true one. In our efforts to provide pants, bacon, etc., for those who lacked such things we have done some queer things. Take cotton for instance; all it needed was a little controling, so we thought. The Boll-Weevil had a well established crop control program of his own, but we were not satisfied. Man is like that. He wants his own way. So we licked the little feller. Then, we “Farm boarded” cotton, also implored loyal citizens to buy a bale. Gaining momentum we N.R.Ad it, plowed it under. We warehoused it with N.R.A., then we A.A.A.'d it, first with big A’s then little A’s with about the same result Here we are with 17,500,000 bales of the darn stuff and 40 to 60 million people still needing pants and not a thing to be done about it. Take meat. Remember how the necessary te. organise some baconless reliefers with baskets and fly swatter to recapture them. After which, we . P val eH = is WISHES E. B.
