tric Railroad association. The com-
mittee lays down rules and sugges-_
tions for valuing the properties of the
association when they must be valued.

consequently a member of the team.
However, to be.' a real competitor,
Baker will have to improve in his later
workouts, for only four United States
men will enter each Olympic event,
although six are being taken across
with the United States team.
Captain-elect Larry Butler has been
working out vigorously for the past
five weeks, both morning and after-
noon, and he will be in the best shape
for the 440-yard dash a week from to-
day at Harvard. Coach Farrel sent
him through a quarter mile this morp-
ing, and Steve clocked him in fast
time, -refusing, however, to divulge the
exact time of seconds.
Jehnsoni Expected Monday,
Carl Johmson is expected in from
Spokane Monday some time, when he
will start workouts for the broad
jump. While no word has been re-
ceived from him since he left the team
in Chicago, he is expected to; be in
fine shape and capable of jump ing 23
feet at least and probably 24, which
would be far enough to give him a
berth on the Olympic squad.
If necessary' Johnson would have
jumped inChicjgo ,as he said he never
felt better in his life. Steve Farrell
stated that Johnson is so tempermen-
tally built that he could go around 23
feet, if he had one foot in the grave.
Few Entries For
Tennis Tourney
Entries for the tennis tournament,
which .is planned for students of the
Summer Session, are not being filed as
rapidly as was expected. A number,
however, have signified their intention
of entering and no trouble is expected
in having enough entries to make it a
success.
Dr. May, who has chrge of the tour-
nament, announced today that all
names, together with the entry fee of
25 cents, \must be handed in before
Wednesday evening. Dr. May may be
found from 2 to 5 o'clock in his office
in Waterman gymnasium any after-
noon. -

EDUCATION CONSIDERED
TRANSIENT PROFESSION
"Few Teachers Have Good Education
Though Time Spent in Training
is Worth While"
"The school teacher must get intel-
ligent experience in order to be pre-
pared for advancement in the profes-
sion of education,"' was the thught
that Mr. Frank E. Spaulding, school
superintendent of Cleveland, empha-
sized in his address on "What Has the
Teaching Profession to Offer," yester-
day afternoon before a large audience
of educators' in the Natural Science
auditorium.
Mr. Spaulding spoke from the stand-
point of those who expect to remain in
the profession. He described the char-
acteristics of education and told what
the school teacher might expect to get
out of it. ,'
Cites Merits
In citing the merits and disadvant-
ages of education, Mr. Spaulding said:
"The current unrest has not been felt
widely is the teaching profession. Now
is the time when everyone who is in
the profession or contemplates going
in, should consider the merits of edu-
cation from their own standpoint.
"Education is not a difficult profes-
sion to get out of. The teacher who
has reached the age of 45 or 50 should
consider seriously whether or not he
should remain or leave the profession.
There are no valid excuses for old
tWechers to remain, for there is aplenty
of excellent material at hand.
Is Transient Occupation
"The fact remains, however, that
education is predominantly a transient
occupation, Almost no one enters the
profession with the idea of making it
a life career. The perce'nt of men is
and has been sialler than the per-
centage of women in education. Teach-
ing has suffered penalties because it
is considered a transient occupation,
principally because the average wage
is higher and the qualifications are
comparatively low as compared to
those of the industrial world.
"Some of these characteristics have
been accentuated in recent years,
especially the initial wage. In order
to obtain sufficient numbers of teach-
ers, it was necessary to increase their
salaries. Another factor that makes
school teaching a transient occupa-
tion, is the shortness of the sch'ool day
and year. Then, too, the employment
is permayzent, unlike many industrial
occupations. There is no lay off in
teaching, and the increasing demand
for teachers tends to lower the stand-
ard of qualification."
Few Have Good Education
Mr. Spaulding declared that only a
small minority of school teachers have
a really good education, and that only
one-half of all teachers even have a
tolerable high school training. He
said that literally thousands of people
in the educational profession have had
no high school education. The oppor-
tunity for important service is unsur-
passed, especially when the profession
is held in such high esteem by the
general public.
."It is impossible to place the re-,
sponsibility for making the profession
transient. This responsibility must be
shared by all those who have anything
to do with education. The prospects
of the profession are actually better
than ever before, and the prospects for
the future are even better. Education
will perhaps be always a transient
profession, as long as it is monopolized

"OLD PRINCIPLES MUST

"Tools o a Full Education Should I

"Our long-boasted universal educ
tion is too much fetish, too little fac
too much pretense, too little reality
too much assumption, too litt

ment of our educational system mad

of the Cleveland public schools, in hI
address on "Making Public Educatio
Equal to Its Task," givefi last nig
in the Natural Science auditorium,

"As a people, we are just beginnin
,to' recognize the truth, which ha
never hidden itself; and we ar
shocked and alarmed," said D
Spaulding. "We have been taught th

been taught that w4 have universa

"It is high time to take the offensiv

"We must change our policy. W
