by The 2l4.50 per capita apportion-
ment-
Last session the actual teacher
shortage in Texas was about 1000.
that meant that more than $4,000
children had no teacher at all" Miss
Blanton said About 100000 children

with no certificates at all were ac-
cepted, in open violation Of the law.
In many OF our city SCHOOLS all Of
the grades were overcroWded. some
reporting as many as 80 children to
the teacher. In a number Of schools,
teachers taught two shifts OF chill

There is only one reme-y for the
teacher shortage in the United States

working IN the Hueco well, there Is
a formation Of a couple OF hundred
feet OF lime and shale, then a forma-
ton Of silicious limestone caprock
40 feet thick and below the caprock,
$50 feet OF limestone and then black
bituminous shale-
These were plainly revealed in out

itself the result Of a gas upheavaL
