THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM
As these schools represent 60 per cent of the ' normal schools of the United States, the commissioner of education believes that there will be 7,000 fewer graduates in 1920 than in previous years. Teacher-training departments in colleges show approximately the same falling off, his report says. "Another significant fact is revealed," says A. O. Neal, of the bureau's division of rural education, in commenting upon the situation. Since
1890 there has been a continuous and increasing
f.T republication of all news dlrpatches credited to It or! ... , . 1 i rot otherwise credited in this paper and also the local I withdrawal of men teachers from the profession.

Teacher Shortage A National Problem While Indiana is educating its people to the menace of poor schools, imminent because of a shortage of teachers, other states in the Union are face to face with a real crisis. Reports received by the bureau of education prove that the shortage is still a grave one. On the basis of returns from staff srrinol officers.
- - - - - - - - 1 the commissioner of education found that 18,279 schools were closed because of lack of teachers and that 41,900 schools were being taught by
teachers rated below standard but accepted to
meet the emergency. Replies to his office showed that in 18 states pupik were transferred from closed schools to others, in three states no provisions were made for their schooling, and two states reported that the children would lose the grade. A revival of interest by taxpayers in obtaining better pay for teachers ist noted in 14 states and a number of commonwealths believe that public opinion has been thoroughly aroused on this topic. . A marked decrease in the number of young men and women preparing to enter the teaching profession is reported from 190 state, county, city and private normal schools. More than 11,000 fewer students were enrolled in these courses last November than in previous years.
The percentage of men teachers in 1890 was 37
per cent. In 1910 it had fallen to 22 per cent, and in 1918 to 17 per cent. In other words, in 1890 one teacher jn three was a man; in 1910 one
teacher in five; and in 1918 one teacher in six
was a man. "The question of teachers' salaries is vital in this discussion, and a comparison of teachers' salaries from 1916 to 1918, the latest complete statistics available, shows that in the two years, trom 1916 to 1918, the average teacher's salary advanced from $563 per year to $635 per year, an increase of $72, or 13 per cent in the two years. The total figures for 1918 show that the average salary for elementary teachers in the
United States was $606, and the average salary for high school teachers, $1,031. The bureau is now collecting salary schedules from various states, giving the actual salaries received by individual teachers in three counties in each state. These show that the salaries of rural teachers are far below this average in many states, and that salaries as low as $150 to $200 per annum are found in many localities. "Another cause of teachers withdrawing from the profession is found in the lack of provision made for suitable homes in the community, where the teachers may become a part of the social organization. This is particularly true in rural districts, where in many communities they are providing teachers' homes in connection with the schools."

Lectured for l ng abed late, tho farmer: boy promised that in future he would be "up with tho lark." The next morning tho old farmer came in from his milking and found his son Mttinpr on the stile and singing as blithely as though there was no such a thing as work. ''Why, you young rascal," said his exr-crated ire, "this is worse than sleeping. What do you mean by loafing on that stile and singing at the top of your voice?" The lad grinned. "Why, did. you told me to be like the lark, and that's all he does when he gets up early."

NATALIE Natalie Is another holy name, com
ing from the Latin title of "Dies Nat-
alis", the birthday of our Iord. The
word Natalie has furnished the title
of the feast to all the Romance por
tion of Europe.
France made the word Noel from It,
meaning Christmas, and soon Noel be
came a Christian name there. In
Italy it appeared as Natale. Spain and Portugal used the name Natal. There is a feast celebrated on the Sth of September by the Greek church as the festival of St. Natalia, the devoted wife who attended her husband. St. Adrian, in his martyrdom. He is the same Adrian whose relics filled
the Netherlands and whose name be- j came celebrated in the west where his i wife, Natalia, was long neglected, i The east, however, reversed the ar-! rangeraent and Natalia Is popular I
there, while her husband is forgotten. Natalia was one of the favored Greek Christian names. Russia adopted her and, adding the usual consonants of its language, calls her Natalija, Nataschenka, and Natascha. The first of the tree names is extremely popular. there today, or was until Ihe Bolshevik! came Into power and withdrew the attention of etymologists
from the study of feminine names. France is saLd to have secured Natalie from Russia, though there is record of a Natalie at Cambrai in 1212. England preferred Natalie to any of the other forms, rejecting Natalia as too Latin in its Influence. Whether American Natalies are representative of the English, or taken direct from France I,s a matter of personal preference. The pearl of purity is Natalie's talismanic gem. It promises good fortune for its wearer and makes her gentle, kind, and lovable. Thursday is her lucky day and 4 her lucky num
ber.
