10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1920 --_-- ny Maintains Teachers Must Get More Money Or the State Suffer Loss of Instructors 4 VF » " Illinois faces the complete exhaus- tion of her school teacher supply within the next four years unless the normal schools of the commonwealth are restored to prosperity. This is the unavoidable conclusion reached in considering the statements of edu- cators and the statistics collected by the teachers themselves in a survey of conditions. David Pelmly, president of the State Normal College at Normal, Til, is authority for the statement that in both quantity and quality the new teachers presenting themselves for positions are far below the 1916 standard. "In the State Normal school and in DeKalb the two largest teacher-training schools in the state the attendance is but 55 per cent of what it was in 1916," he says. "Ili- nois has no normal school where the attendance is 70 per cent of what it was three years ago. Conditions in the East are somewhat better but there schools are closing, and here where pay is lower, it is only by re- laxing examination standards, by lowering the bars so that substandard | teachers can fill empty chairs, are] we keeping the schools going. "In 1917 there were 3,100 new teach- ers in the schools. In 1918 there were 4,200, an increase of 1,100. These were young, untrained high school girls, who were expected to do the work of trained and experienced ! tmaking money she does it right and teachers. They filled chairs left by men and women who had sought a living wage in industry. "The schoolma'am is passing as an institution. Business offices, banks, stores, clothing houses all have found her capable, honest and of remark- able intelligence and propose to pay her far more than the schools do now. She is marrying far more than she used to, for. the young workman of the world gets enough money now to support two. Old teachers, mar- ried women who gave up the pro- fession long ago are about the only available material with which we can fill the places of the teachers as they leave. We appeal to the married women to come back out of love for children. "There was a time when (a girl wanted to he a teacher so long as she couldn't go into singing or stage work. Both of the latter were choice callings then, with school teaching ranking third and of course catch- ing the average girl of aspiration. Now those girls that can't become artists turn to business rather than teaching for the world of commerce pays high and teaching pays low. So long as she goes into the business of avoids the school room. And we cannot blame her or remedy matters until we give her more salary." tn -- MARMON 34 IS BIG FEATURE AT AUTO SHOW IN CHICAGO Exhibited in the Coliseum, the new series Marmon 34 has a high effi- ciency motor that seems as pro- nounced a noveity as was the first Marmon J54, shown four vears ago.! with its radical departure irom <on- ventinnal design, The light weight features, deep thin sertivn frame, ex. tensive employment of alloy steel, and the use of aluminum in motor, body, fenders and gear-set and differ- ential housings are continued. The body lines of the open cars, though modified and embellished here and there, still retain the vigorous characteristics that have given them individuality. The high efficiency motor is a trifle shorter than previous models, but the gix erlirdery huve the same hore and stroke, anu the satne principles of design are found throughout the power plant. The manufacturing of the engine, however, has been chang- ed to the new standards of precision that were learned by the company in producing aviation engines for the enameied as the two-piece aluminum "float" is continued, and in the new design the flow of the oil is so rapid that it acts as a bearing cooler as course, is automatic and one does nn s0d abe Larder the engine works the greater the volume of oil fed to bear- ings and moving parts. construction--a central portion and head of aluminum with an iron skirt that fits over the lower part of the main. structure, thoroughly enclosing gives the advantages of both metals, a head that does not soot and a skirt that fits snugly against the oil film |§ There are | and construction which the technical man will find graphically portrayed at the special motor exhibit. iron cylinder sleeve blocks of three crankcase.

WEIGHT OF CHARACTER There is not a wood-cutter in Maine or Minnesota but knows that the weight of the ax and the swift- ness of the stroke are what tell in the cutting of the tree; that the sharpness of the ax is nothing unless there be weight and swiftness behind it. There is not a man of them who would go into the wilderness ex- pecting to clear his farm with sharp- bladed penknifes or well-polishéd scissors. Yet the same men, as they look around for their heroes, as they give applause, or as they give votes, are as likely as any men to be misled by the brilliancy of accomplishment, and to forget the necessity, if the work is to last, of the weight and JC .
