BECOMING SERIOUS

real crtl and the prohlem of filling the
ranks of competent teachers In a grave
one
The OlrK Normal School graduated
about 13 student"! this term, a part of
Hrhom will be teachers next year cer
tainly; nevertheless trouble faces the
chools In the prospects for next year.
Only 100 applications have been sent
i in so far to the Normal School at Thir
teenth and Spring Harden streets by
prospective students Formerly the ap
plications had to be limited to 200.
Women are simply looking to other
professions for their livelihood Marly
Who have been teachers for several years
are going Into new fields civil service
work and Ihe many Industries and oc
cupations which the war has placed al
their hand
The trouble reduces to the question of
alary. Salaries which several years ago
Were perfectly satisfactory now appear
wholly Inadequate A teacher after her
years of preparation gets 1600 a year
that Is. about Jll 58 a week The second
year she gets J620 After she has been
working ten years she gels $1000.
At these times a woman can go into
Tarlous sorts of war work beginning at
a salary equal to or greater than that
he receives In her third year as a
teacher.
"The salaries must be increased, and
Increased enough to make It worth their
while to give to a position where the
work Is well and their opportunities
broader." said Kugene Baker, principal
of the Cirls' Normal School. "But that
Is a great deal easier to suggest than to
bo done.
"A great many people, carried away
by their feelings, have attacked any one
they could think of who might possibly
b to blame No one In to blame. The
trouble, to be remedied, must be carried
before the Legislature, where the old
schcol code will have to he re Ised That
code says the Philadelphia school tax
shall not exceed six mills.
"Outside of Philadelphia the tax in
manv communities can be as high as
twenty-five mills. Out of the money

"Here are some points to consider in
regard to the Board of Kducation. which
t believe to be in the fullest sympathy
with our dilemma: .That organization
has so much money a year from the
taxes; everything must be paid out of
that money : and If It borrows more
money to meet, for example, such a Bit
nation as this, it must pay back prin

"Resolutions were passed In a meet
ing the other afternoon to carry a plea

cation. The Board of Education has to
carry that plea before the State Legis
lature. There several problems con-
front it. The petition cannot be voted

"After a meeting the other evening a
newspaper man said to me: 'You will be

told him that it was outrageous to sug

PIANOLA-PIANO
Music, the greatest inspirational force in the world, is a wartime
necessity, both for the boys "over there" and for us who stay at home.
We must back them up to the last ounce of our strength.
Just as the cheering influence of the regimental band helps the soldier
endure the hardships of trench life, so does a player-piano make it easier
for us to do our part.
And among player-pianos the Stroud is the master player-piano
the one instrument that brings into your home the world's best music -cither
classical or popular played with all the depth of feeling, the
sympathy, the delicacy of expression, that characterizes the playing of &
master pianist.
That is why many of the most famous pianists haVe the Stroud in
their homes for their own enjoyment. You, too, can enjoy this master
player-piano, for it sells for a surprisingly moderate price. Purchase may
be made through the Heppe Rental-Payment Plan, which applies all the
rent toward the purchase. Call and hear the Stroud Pianola, or send for
catalogues.
