Apart from the prosecution of the war itself, there is no more urgent problem before the American people than that created by the threatened collapse of the teaching profession. There are a few departments of education which even the most ordinary man can realize are not only indispensable to the life of the nation, but are as integral parts of the prosecution of the war as the building of ships the training of armies. Fearful lest the supply of skilled workers should fall off, industrial leaders are realizing more fully every day how dependent they are on the flow of trained men from the hands of the schoolmasters.
