Walsh was called to Quincy, 111., on business matters last week and while there took time call on our former townsman, John R. Brents, who is now making his home at the soldiers' home in that city. He found Mr. Brents in very bad condition, owing to a severe stroke of paralysis which had entire right side. He is receiving the very best care and the doctors and nurses of the institution informed Mr. Walsh that the former McHenry resident was considered one of their very best patients. Needless to say that he was much pleased to visit with someone from his home town. That directors of schools are facing a difficult situation, which will be** come acute by the end of the coming month, is also the belief of Mr. Shel-j ton. When it becomes known that the number of applicants for teachers' certificates fall below thl quota desired to teach in the county, it will then dawn on school officials „of what they are up against, the county head says. i There has been a remarkable falling off in the number of applicants for teachers' certificates, only four from the Harvard section of the cohjity, but two from Woodstock and none at all from Crystal Lake, only fourteen all told from the county, whereas other years have witnessed fifty and even above that number. About Aug. 15 reports as to the standing of all teachers in the county will be received from the state superintendent of public instruction at Springfield and thereafter will come the rub. To relieve existent conditions of this kind in the past, Mr. Shelton has issued permits, thus enabling teachers who failed to pass the prescribed examination to teach pending such time as they could qualify for the work. Hereafter no premits will be issued'and in this I will adhere to the letter," Mr. Sheiton told a Herald reporter yesterday, adding that no matter how acute/the situation may become the no-permit order would be carried out. The position Mr. Shelton intends to take is in strict accord with the school law of the state, so it will be up to school boards to pay adequate salaries to school teachers, he intimated, because he related how young ladies graduating from high schools and qualifying as stenographers and typists are receiving from $75 to $125 per month for twelve months, while those who follow school teaching are receiving as low as $40' per month and the majority of them between $50 and $60 for a nine months' period. It is absurd to ask high school graduates to perform services for an annual compensation of from $800 to $900 when those similarly qualified are receiving from $1;100 to $1,500 per year," Mr. Shelton asserted^1 as he recalled one instance where a Crystal Lake young lady is receiving $1,500 per year as a stenographer, but as a school teacher her salary would be only $900. The solution of the whole affair Mr. Shelton saw in the elimination of many rural schools, a general consolidation of many district schools and a higher salary paid teachers because it is unfair and not equitable that those who qualify for teachers and dedicate their lives to the arduous toil to work for such poor salaries. Any rural school, where less than six pupils are enrolled, occupies the position of being closed and the pupils therein conveyed to the near est grade school at the expense of the resident district, Mr. Shelton says, this law being one passed by a recent session of the legislature. In every vocation in life, the ten dency is to pajf higher compensation for services rendered, and why should not those who teach in the public schools be paid a salary commensu rate with their duties, asks a well known local educator with whom Herald reporter has discussed the subject. In a number of the rural School districts a marked advance has. been made in the salary paid teachers, but in others no increase comparable with conditions has jt»een made, it claimed by those competent to pass judgment on the question. " It will be up to directors of schools to ascertain within the next month if the teacher engaged for the ensuing year has received a teacher'; certificate. If unable to obtain one the situation will be difficult to meet because no permit will be issued the county school head and it will incumbent on school directors to hire wherever an eligible teacher may available.
