L. . 1 1 Jurists The formal has had its clay or lather its night. The party dross that so delighted us a few months a so is indifferently placed in tissue paper folds and the organdie comes into its own. It is the time of the spring party the last big dance be fore the final get-together on Ivy Day. The germ of originality that is re stricted to the. use of matching colors in the lamp shades during the formal season is aroused, and really clever natures appear. The spring party has come and helps give the final weeks of school topics for discussion, and the week-ends life. Professor A. A. Reed stated yester day that "the teacher situation Is a national menace." Commissioner C'axton lias called a national confer ence of representative citizen to meet in Washington, D. C, May 19-21, to consider present emergency in edu cation. Secretary Payne, of the De partment of the Interior, has re quested the governor of each state to head the state delegation. The seriousness of the situation is emphasized in the following state ment from the report of the Presi dent's Industrial Conference, issued recently: "There is everywhere a shortage of teachers. An inquiry made by the bureau of education showed that in January, 1920, more than 18.000 teachers' positions in the public schools of the country were then va cant because the teachers to fill them could not be had. Over 42,000 posi tions are filled, that they may be filled at all. by teachers whose quail heat ions are below the minimum t-tandard of requirement in the sev eral states. It is the estimate of the commissioner of education that more than 300,000 of the 650.000 school teachers rf the country today are 'below any reasonable minimum stand ard of qualification.' Many of those who remain in our schools receive less pay than common laborers. despite the long years of preparation for their profession that they have undertaken This situation is a 'na tional menace. It is useless to talk of Airoricanis.ation and of diminution of illiteracy and other national edu cational problems unless it is faced at once."
