GREECEREQUESTS KING TO ABDICATE

Athens Sends Note to Constantine to Resign in Favor of Crown Prince. WILL NOT RETURN THIS WEEK Financial Pressure of British Upon Greece, Which Has Been Exerted Against Plan to Restore Ruler, Has Become Stronger. Paris, Dec. 9. —The Greek government has addressed a note to former King Constantine, asking that he abdicate immediately in favor of the crown prince, says a dispatch from Athens. King Not to Return This Week. Athens, Dec. 10. —The plans to have ex-King Consthntine return to Greece this week appeareddo have been abandoned. " —. The decision of the government apparently was to continue its “wait and see’’ policy, with die tendency to leave the decision as to Constantine's return’to the throne with the ex-king himself. The financial pressure of the British upon the government, which has been exerted against the plan to restore Constantine, appears to have become stronger. Former Premier Gounaris, leader in the movement which led to the downfall of Venizelos, has appealed to Venizelist army officers to keep their posts. The cabinet is devoting much time in conferences at which are discussed the financial situation and the possibilities opened by the return of Constantine. Trading on the bourse was unsteady Tuesday, the dollar being quoted at 12% drachmas. Latest returns from the plebiscite' show only scattering votes against Constantine, generally one or two to a district. The Greek battleship Averoff. which is at Constantinople, is declared unable to leave the port. One report is to the effect that the ship’s machinery has been damaged. The financial pressure of the BrltI ish upon Greece, which has been exerted against the plan to restore Constantine, appears to have become stronger. Former Premier Gounaris, leader in the movement which led to the downfall of Venizelos, has appealed to keep their posts.

COUNTRY IN DESPERATE NEED OF TEACHERS

Between 300,000 and 400,000 children were deprived of schooling last year as a result of the shortage of teachers, according to statements made by P. P. Citxon, Federal Commissioner of Education, in his annual report made Wednesday. No relief for the situation is seen by the commissioner, who added that while from 110,000 to possibly. 150,000 new teachers would be needed during the coming year, ‘,*we shall have at the outside 30,000 prepared teachers to fill vacancies, or a deficijt of at least 80,000.” Of even greater moment than the actual shortage, the report said, was the increase in “substandards” instructors. More than half the 350,000 teachers of the nation, it added, are not prepared according to any reasonable standard for the work of teaching. One-fifth of the approximately 84,000 high school teachers in the country, the report said, is intending to seek other employment, and not more than 9,000 eligibles will be available to fill vacancies, the report estimated. The result will be that in high schools alone, 15,000 to 24,000 of the positions can not be filled by adequately prepared teachers.

RED CROSS ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Rensselaer Chapter of the American Red Cross will offer a course of instruction in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, beginning about January first. This bourse consists of fifteen lessons and will be given once or twice a week to suit the convenience of the most people.
