"START The neat and orderly appearance of the grounds gives pleasure to all obaervers, and the Board of Education deserve all the praise that is being given. ; Each building has a janitor and * both are attending to business. The » teachers are delighted with the clean and inviting rooms. We are fortunate in having the facidty complete and every position well filled with competent and exterienced teachers who are enthusiastic in their work and are putting the proper eapirit de corps into the school. . Hie Superintendent is somewhat 1 handicapped in having no secretary and no librarian. Perhaps a person f could be engaged holding credentials •s a qualified teacher to do substitute ■work, and at the same time be secretary to the superintendent and care for the library. The coal problem has been solved (' and there will be heat for the winter. I - The janitors, John Bush at the ffrade school and Geo. Boston at- the high school are vicing in coug>etition j for good work. t The engineer, Harry Holmes, is | garrying efficiency to a high degree and is constant! y on the watch for tm- • proving the heating plants at both schools, doing all the alterations and repairs himself.

It - TEACBXB 6H0BTAGS The teacher shortage rematoa a menace to the public schools according to preliminary reports made public today by the National Education Association. Replies to questionnaires _ sent out by the Association have come from all sections of the United States. Hiese reports show that in places where teachers salaries have been increased one hundred per cent, or 1 more the situation is nearly always ' ~ satisfactory.- But such placds are ' comparatively few, and in localities \ where salaries have been increased i in fifty ^r cent, or less, the teacher Bt shortage is comntonly greater than a year ago. Rural communities are hardest hit. Signed reports from n* superintendents of many counties in- i _ dicate that a third of their rural 1 schools cannot open for want of teachers. Tens of thousands of - a schools will be in charge of teachers I who have had no professional prepaI ration and whose academic training ' I barely exceeds that of the children t | they teach. c N Cape May County is suffering but 1 H not so seriously as many other i I counties. Higher salaries and better t J equipped schools are needed -in the t ' rural localitites. f

MISDIRECTED ENERGY If the State Department of Agriculture were as busy in doing actual agricultural work as it is getting out books, pamphlets, statistics, reports, _ press notes, and what not agriculture would undoubtedly thrive-wondei fully. The departments present activities require more typewriters and printing e. presses than agricultural implements. s- THE BAND The Cape May Band has almost n fa'ded out. The war period reduced its membership to seven men and a ® conductor. For five years it has been necessary to obtain some ten assistants, nonresidents, whenever a public engagement was to be filled. Unless the ybung men of the city come to the rescue and learn to play the chords and discords of tM^Cape 11 May Band will be no more. To coto- ® plete the band it will be n*estery to '* have two solo cornets, two alti>s, two trombones one b&ss, and two drum- * mere. Perhaps the solution of maintaining a band would be to establish it in the high school. The history of r all village bands is short and not al- ^ ways sweet MOSQUITO CONTROL A Cape May County Mosquito Extermination Conrmissoin, offices in Cape 5 May City, membership consisting of Zachariah A.
