FIRST STUDENT ASSEMBLY
Dr. Brubacher Addresses Student Body
T h e first student assembly of the
year was held Friday m o r n i n g at
9:11(1 o'clock in the auditorium.
Alter e x t e n d i n g the official g r e e t ings of Slate College to the student
body and particularly to the class
of 1923, Dr. Brubacher spoke on
" 'flic Relation of the Present Unrest to Education."
He deplored
the fact thai there was such a great
shortage of teachers, due to the
more attractive salaries offered in
oilier fields.
Dr. Ilrubaclier said that fifty per
cent of the college stllilellls bad

He also made the statement that
there was a great s h o r t a g e of

I Ins i nidi
lion may be found to be true, not
only in Stale College, but in vari
OIIS other institutions t h r o u g h o u t
the country. T h i s s h o r t a g e is not
only due to the present unrest, but
to the fact thai the teaching p r o l'( ssion lias been one of the lowest
paid professions in the c o u n t r y .
Teachers in some places receive
less than si reel cleaners and g a r b age collectors. Yet, a better day
has come, for the class of 1919
