A PERSONAL conversation with
any of the leaders present in
Omaha during sessions of the
Nebraska State Teachers' associa
tion; revealed an anxiety over the
shortage of. teachers. "I have 200
calls on my desk for teachers, and
cannot make a single nomination,"
said Superintendent Martin of Kear
' ney Normal. "The situation will be
. felt even more acutely next year,"
: said V. K. Fowler, formerly state
superintendent and now associate
editor of The Nebraska Teacher.
"We lose about 3.500 teachers in the
state each year and our new re
' cruits will not equal that number."
A. A. Reed, state high school in
SDector. says we are facing a seri
ous crisis, made acute by the in
creased attendance in schools.
la the opinion of these, and other
educators, the remedy lies partly,
but not entirely, in higher salaries.
The profession must be made at
tractive in other ways. Some ad
vocate a 12-month school year. All
agreed, however, that higher sal
aries would help a great deal. "The
government is our strongest com
petitor, declared auperintenaenr
Martin. "A six months' business
course fits a girl for a position at
" $1,000 or $1,200 a year in steno
graphic or clerical work. To equip
herself for a like salary as a teacher,
she has to spend two years in a
normal school or be at least a high
school graduate. Our standards
re high, and should be, but the sal
aries are not commensurate with
tiie requirements and present-day
costs."
Stories told by these men illus
trated the point that a smart young
, man or woman can naraiy anora
to go to school nowadays. One
normal school president told of a
particularly capable manual training
student who left school to go to
war. When he returned to this
country he took a shop position.
Learning this, the authorities made
an effort to reach him and induce
him to return to school. "You are
especially apt," said his former in
structors, "and if you will return
to school, we can promise you a
remunerative position next year."
"How much do you think I wilt
make?" asked the young man.
"About $1,500 a . year," ' came the
reB
sBut I am making $2,400 now and
all expenses.
Hugh S. Magilt, field secretary
of the National Education associa
tion, said recently:
"We cannot expect to induce the
.best qualified men and women to
ater school teaching unless we pay
5em, and we cannot expect those
well qualified who now are teaching
to remain so long as they can make
o much more in other fields. In
he last year, 140,000 teachers have
uuit the profession in the United
States'. There are 35,000 school
rooms in the United States that are
without teachers. This condition is
not so bad in the north as in the
south. Manv school districts in the
aouth reported a shortage of 35 per
cent of their teacners in septemoer.
In the United States 6 per cent of
the teaching positions are without
teachers.
This is a condition upon which
rteoole at larore mav well reflect. If
it is not corrected, only the weak
and anemic will be attracted into
.the teaching profession and the pen
alty will be imposed upon the chil
dren of the future. The final re
sult, educators declare, will be
nothing less serious than the
crumbling of our civilization.

EAT LESS MEAT AND TAKE SALTS
IF KIDNEYS ACHE OR BACK HURTS
Say Bladder Irritation or Rheu
matism mean Kidney aren't
training out uric acid. J
Meat forms uric acid which ex
cites and overworks the kidneys in
their efforts to filter it from the sys
tem. Regular eaters of meat must
flush the kidneys occasionally. You
must relieve them like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the acids,
waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheu
matic twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment: the channels often
get irritated, obliging you to get up
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's urin
ous waste get about four ounces oi
Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of watei
befcre breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
foi generations to clean ajid stimu
late sluggish kidneys and stop
blrdder irritation. Jad Salts is in
expensive;, harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
wtjinen take now and then, thus
avoiding serious kidney and bladde
diseases.
