Although | the teacher shortage is still acute, there are signs that it is gradually easing. Many communities, particularly in the larger cities, are no longer forced to employ as many substandard teachers as they did in the past.

The American today the average teacher in this country gets $2,550 13 per cent above her pay a year the working conditions can buy a suit, of 100 per cent virgin wool, in return for twenty-eight hours and four minutes of his time. On the positive side the Russian work wages are supplemented by cheaper (and on the average worse) housing than our own; free meals In factories; and cheaper medical care and social services provided by the state. But the great gap between the two countries re- mains, as does also the great gap in Russia itself be- tween the working and those selected for special privileges and rewards. As we have our for- tunate groups whose incomes are raised far above the average by intelligence, energy, inheritance or plain luck, 50, too, does Russia under its modified Marxist system. Scme large accumulations have doubtless been practically confiscated by the devaluation of the ruble, but special incomes for special services or un- usual subserviency to the Russian state have appar- ently not been cut. In short, the “dictatorship of the proletariat” in Russia has produced a proletariat which is set apart from the more fortunate few, is dictated to snd is not well off. War losses account for some of Russia's poverty, but certainly not for all of it. Teaching must be made attractive for our superior It existed before the war. The Marxian dream has students.

In its illuminating revort, “Citizens Look at Education,” the Citizens Federal Committée on Edu- cation warns that much remains to be done before the problem is soived. This committee, appointed by the United States Offi: of Education, has spent the past year studying existing school conditions and offering suggestions as to means of improvement. The road to better schools appears to be long and difficult Although teachers’ salaries have gone up, so has the cost of living, with the result that the increases have been wiped out. Despite greater interest in teaching the shortage is still acutesthis fall 100,000 teachers are on substandard emergency certificates. In some States as many as one-fourth of the teachers are omr temporary licenses. As the committee rightly warns, “it is premature to regard the educational crisis as a thing of the past Much remains to be done before our schools are re- stored to the place they should hold in a democracy the improvements masses "le washin 'o [is more determination in Italy with materials left behind by g n than ever before.
