Unlea* the people and the member* of thee* board* are reused to the grave peril that ta now threatening, th* 600,000 children in our New Jeraey schools today, and perhaps a whole generation of other children, may be made the victims of a demoralised and broken-

down educational system.

The crista U rendered acute by the alarming scarcity of teachyn, and that scarcity U due to the low aatarie^ paid. To save the si tuition the teachers of New Jersey have set out upon a ram paign to Inform the people fully regarding school coodltlonr, and the Fwpaitxnent of Public Instruction U aiding them In the gathering and r-*pe*-

ing of data.

A coromendabta feature of the plan upon which the teacher, are working provides for rarefu' study of the teacher*' salary problem In relation to salaries In other occupations and also as it affects each school district, as wall as the entire elate. By ascertaining the needs and conditions In all the districts, with a view to wort Jug out a tentative Gary schedule fur each one of . m. to be prmtented to the local board and to the voters of each district, tbe tea.-hers arc planning wisely to prevent harm fnl competition for teachers within lb*
