The Tucson Citizen says that Pima
county wants school teachers and it
wants them bad. Five schools at the
present time are without instructors.
One reason for the shortage in teachers
is that the Arizona standard for in
structors in the public schools is high
and the examinations are considered
by some as being rather difficult.
However, it is admitted that the tests
for teachers are very practical and
that the question lists submitted to
applicants are free.
