REDUCED RATE SECURED A Round Trip Rate at One and One-third Fare The United States Railroad Administration has granted a reduced rate of one and one-third fare for the Cleveland meeting of the Department of Superin- tendence, February 21 to 29. Concessions have been secured which simplify very much the method of securing these rates. The new regulations are as follows: 1 Round trip tickets must be purchast outright from local agent. It is good via the same route in both directions. No stop over privi- leges. 2 Purchaser must present to local ticket agent an official Identification Certificate signed by the Secretary of the National Education Asso- ciation. 3 One Identification Certificate is sufficient to include dependent mem- bers of family. 4 Tickets will be sold from February 18 to 24, except in the far western States, where dates are February 14 to 20. Local agents can inform you of earliest starting date. Tickets must be validated at local ticket offices in Cleveland for re- turn journey on day of departure and not later than March 3. 6 Members must have Identification blanks properly signed to surrender, to local agent when purchase is made. These can be secured by writ- ing to the State Director of the N. E. A. or to N. E. A. headquarters. See that the ticket agent understands this new plan as soon as you receive this notice. In case he has not received the tariffs which ex- plain the arrangement, he should wire for them immediately. 8 These Identification Certificates have nothing to do with the war tax exemption granted to those whose expenses are being borne by gov- ernmental agencies such as boards of education, boards of regents, etc. o ~ Granted to members of the National Education Association or to those who take out memberships before railroad tickets arc purchast. Write at once for Identification Certificate. EXEMPTION FROM WAR TAX ON RAILROAD TICKETS All persons traveling to Cleveland to attend the meetings of the Department of Superintendence of the N. E. A. and having their transportation charges paid by the federal government, state, state institution, county or local school district will be exempt from the usual war tax on their transportation by presenting the blank forms, properly filled out, to the railroad official. Follow the directions below. 1. Fill out Exemption Certificate and sign yourself. 2. Fill out Credential Certificate and have signed by the president of the school board; county superintendent, proper state, state institutional, or U. S. official. 3. Present these two certificates to the ticket agent when you purchase your round trip ticket to Cleveland. 4. In case ticket agent refuses to grant exemption get a receipt from him for amount of ticket and war tax separately and ticket number. File claim for refund with Legal Department, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Interior Building, Washington, D. C., in- closing Form 731 and Credential Certificate properly filled out with statement of facts. These forms have no relation to one and one-third-rate which is secured upon presen- tation of Identification Certificate as described above. or (Forms on next page) Tramsportation agents must not accept this certificate unless the or employee issuing it shows satisfactory credentials 12 Form 731 THE N.

EA BULLETIN 13 = —___———___ COMPLETE SUMMARY OF REPORTS RESPECTING TEACHERS The National Education Association sent out a questionnaire in September to all the county and district superintendents in the United States requesting cer- tain definite information on conditions respecting teachers. This request was Sent to 3,465 county or district superintendents and 1,792 signed reports were received, representing 262,537 teaching positions. Reports were received quite uniformly from all the 48 states. Slightly more than one-half of the superintendents re- ported, representing about two-fifths of the teaching positions in the United States. A summary of the reports received is given below. Assuming that the condi- tions shown by the superintendents reporting hold good in the counties and dis- tricts not reported, the figures for the entire country can readily be obtained by applying the percents to the total number of teaching positions in the United States, conservatively estimated at 650,000. For example, the total shortage of teachers, including teachers below standard, is reported at 15.5 percent, which would show a shortage for the entire country of more than 100,000 teachers. Particular attention is called to the summary of replies given to the last five questions. 1,469 of the 1,792 superintendents reporting declare that it has been necessary to accept lower qualifications in order to supply teachers. 1,560 state that teachers’ salaries have not increast as salaries have in other vocations, and 1,691, that teachers’ salaries have not increast in proportion to the increast cost of living. 1,165 report that the number of teachers below 21 years of age is in- creasing, and 1,629, that promising young men and women are not entering the teaching profession as in the past. These reports, coming from the most reliable sources, and from every state in the Union, indicate clearly the seriousness of the present emergency in educa- tion, not only with respect to the present, but as effecting the future. Since it is universally conceded that education is essential, not only to the welfare of the individual, but to the life of the nation, the situation demands the attention, not alone of educators, but of every patriotic citizen. Summary of Replies Received Number of superintendents to whom questionnaire was sent 3,465 Number of superintendents reporting 1,792 1. Total number of teaching positions included in reports 262,537 2. Total number of teachers who dropt out during past year 54,563 Percent 20.78 3. Total number of new teachers entering, September, 1919 61,249 Percent 23.33 4. Total shortage of teachers reported 14,914 Percent 5.68 5. Total number of teachers below standard 25,775 Percent 9.82 6. Total shortage, including teachers below standard 40,689 Percent 15.5 7, Has it been necessary to accept lower qualifications? Yes 1469 No 291 8. Have teachers’ salaries increased as in other vocations? Yes 225 No 1560 9. Have salaries increased in proportion to cost of living? Yes 80 No 1691 10. Is the number of teachers below 21 years of age increasing? Yes 1165 No 546 11. Are promising young men and women attracted to teaching as in the past? Yes 122 No 1629 A similar summary has been prepared for every state. It is very noticeable that in those states where salaries are highest conditions are best, and where sala- ries are lowest the conditions are most serious. The public should realize that in the employment of teachers in the public schools, the principle that one only gets what he pays for, applies in the long run if not in each individual case. ab. NBA BULLETIN E. U. GRAFF President of the Department of Superintendence The problems of readjustment in education make new demands on the time and attention of superintendents. The need of vision and leadership in the teach- ing profession was never greater than at the present moment. Boards of Educa- tion cannot afford to lose at this critical time successful superintendents, even tho to retain their services may mean increasing salaries fifty or one hundred per cent.

A BULLETIN 39 _——————————————— SUGGESTED STANDARDS FOR SALARY SCHEDULES From page 148 “Teachers Salaries and Salary Schedules” In the light of the existing condition the following standards for salary schedules are suggested. These are higher than common practice but are not higher than has already been accomplisht in some of our more progressive cities. The division of the cities into two size groups is justified by the results shown. There is a noticeable break in salary paid between cities in size III and in size 1V. Of course there can not be a clear cut line drawn between a city say of 28,000 inhabitants falling in size group III and one of 23,000 in group IV, and many cities in the lower group will pay salaries as high as those in the upper group which will be more to their credit than to have a larger city remain on the lower level. For City Sizes I2, II & III For City Sizes IV, V & VI Rien Pecracation 25.000 to 100,000 or as atin laden Minimal Annual Maximal | Minimal Annual | Maximal Salary Increases | Salary Salary | Increases | Salary Teachers | Normal Diploma’...............+. $1200 | 6 x$100 $1800 $1000 | 6 x$100 | $1600 I ion. £4 Sacsesea
