'l'lun\Usm]—-Enteq:- Realizing that the impending short- age of teachers is critical, the execu- tive officers of the Eastern Connecti- cut Teachers' association have taken steps to_bring the matter before the superintendents and school committees in this section of the stite. Some- time ago Henry T. Burr of Williman- tic, Edward J. Graham of this city, and Warren A. Hanson of New Lon- don, were appointed a committee to 100K into this matter. This commit- tee have made' a thorough investiga- tion and have submitted their report The committee calls- attention to the fact that many schools have, been maintained this year with great diffi- culty through the lack of teachers due to the increasing number of positions in other lines of work which are open to women, and that the remedy is in- creased salaries. In their report the committee say: Many scheols have been maintained this year with great difficuity. Some have been closed for longer or short. er periods for lack of teachers. Oth- ers have been kept open by employing or retaining teachers who are incom- petent. Many teachers have left the profession during the year to accept places in business or the indgstries. Superintendents in many towns . re- port that teachers are. studying typ writing and stenography or otherwise preparing themselves for business po- sitions. . The entering classes at the normal schools are forty per cent. less than usual; indicating a serious dimin- ution in the supply of trained teachers.

Henry Truesdell outside of being one of the very best cotton mill men of his day, was one of God’s noble- men in every sense of the word. None knew him but to love, honor and re- spect him. In politics he was first a whig, then a staunch republican, but in spite of his prominence and his party’s frequent demand he flatly re- fused to hold office. He was a mem- ber of the Masonic order and the Methodist Episcopal church, and up to quite recently had kept at work around his home place in spite of his great old age. Many there are who have profited by being intimately as- scciated with so Zood and noble a man and for miles around his loss although not unexpected will be deep- ly felt.
