A Shortage in School Teachers.
The city of Chicago is suffer
ing from a scarcity of public
school teachers. It needs L'OO
more teachers for the opening of
the next school year than it as
yet knows that it can get. The
great increase in the number of
occupations open to young women
has checked their rush into the
single business of school teach
ing. That is felt everywhere,
out is particularly noticeable iu
Chicago.
' The Normal School of Chicago,
i'roin which that city's school
teachers were mainly recruited,
formerly graduated classes aver
aging 350 members. This year
only seventy-live young women
were graduated. This is not
enough, nor nearly enough, to
supply tho vacancies. The sal
aries paid school teachers in Chi
cago are good, as teachers' sal
aries go, but if they are not suf
ficiently attractive to secure an
adequate number of teachers for
their" public schools the obvious
and only alternative is to raise
the pay. A first year teacher
gets iu Chicago 7'0. This is W)
more thau an inexperienced teach
or gets in Philadelphia, aud about
$100 more than one gets iu Ful
ton coun'y, but it is not sufficient
iu Chicago aiid will have to be in
creased. School teachers' salaries have
for some years past showed a
strong teudo icy upward. Women
have secured almost a monopoly
of the business of public school
teaching, and their competition
with each other for places has
kept salaries down. Now that so
many thousauds of them aie find
ing lucrative and suitable em
ployment in other fields tho sup
ply of school teachers has begun
to fall short of the demand, and
to keep the schools supplied the
pecuniary attraction of other
callings will have to be met by
better pay for school teaching,
and that to about the limit of our
ability will tne miuimiun salary
law accomplish in this county.
