TEACHERS IN COLD NORTH ,
DREAM OF SUNNY ISLANDS
HONOLULU, Mar. 2.—The influx
of applications of mainland teachers
for positions in the Hawaiian schools
this year is growing daily into propor
tions that lead Superintendent W. E.
Givens, of the department of public in
struction. to predict that the number
will exceed that of last year, when
there were 5,000 applications from
mainland teachers for 125 vacancies.
There will be only about 100 vacan
cies this year and preference will be
given as in the past, to graduates of
the territorial normal school or the
University of Hawaii.
According to school authorities, the
so-called lure of the South Seas is very
potent upon teachers, thousands of
whom apply annually for the compar
atively few vacancies that occur in
the department’s staffs.
TURKS BEGIN TO MISS
SERVICES OF FOREIGNERS
ANGORA, Mar. 2.—Turkey is con
sidering the establishment of a new
- system of education, to be based on
- French lines, and the first steps in
, this direction have already been taken.
It wras decided last year to wipe,
out the schools conducted by the Ho
jas, or religious men, of which there
were some five hundred with 12,000
pupils, and now a proposal has been
put forward by the minister of educa
tion to set up a new university at An
gora, the city destined to be the poli
tical, military and educational head
quarters of the country. All local
private schools are to be brought un
der a central jurisdiction.
There is evidence here of a desire
to encourage foreign capital to enter
Turkey; the need of outside help in
reconstruction- is recognized. Preju- i
dice against foreigners is lessening,
for political leaders have begun to •
learn how difficult it is for Turks to ]
' accomplish many tasks that foreign- ]
- ers at one time did with ease. ,
