HINES HOPEFUL FOR TEACHERS Sends Message to Students Brighter Day Is Near. In connection with the nrge of the Indiana teachers’ week committee that high school pupils throughout the state be persuaded to look with favor on teaching as a life work, county and city superintendents have addressed many letters to L. N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, asking suggestions concerning such persuasion. Some school officials adopted a slightly ironic tone, admitting they were at a loss what inducements to point to Jn directing students’ thoughts along those channels. f Mr. litnes replied to William E. Wirt, superintendent of schools at Gary that while teaching had not offered a bright future in years past the general awakening to the importance of educational work had improved the outlook considerably. High -schools throughout the state will lie addressed by speakers on the subject of the educational profession this week. College alumni societies are conducting a campaign to win salary increases for college professors simultaneously. At meetings of civic societies and clubs it is being driven home that half the 20,000,000 school children of America are finder instruction of teachers who have had no special preparation for their work. Many of the experienced teachers still remaining in school work are planning to leave il soon unless some relief from the low wage situation is forthcoming.
