Burr of this city, Edward J. Graham of Norwich and Warren A. Hanson of New London, appointed to investigate the shortage of teachers in the schools has made a report. They_explain the shortage. by the ‘more compensation in other lines, and:that the number of garls taking the teach- ing courses in the normal schbols is smaller each year. They state -that as a result. incompatent teachers .are employed in many schaols, while oth- er schools may be forced to shut down because of the lack of teachers. They recommeéng that the salaries be raised, because a woman can earn from $600 to $700 without training as a teacher, while a girl who studies at least four years out of grammar school can earn only $500 as a teach- er.
