TEACHER SHORTAGE
AMOUNTS TO $4,000

Shortage Of teachers throughout the
United States is still a serious menace
to the schools of the country, accord
ing to report issued by the Ma
tional Education Association, which
is based on information gathered since
September /, 1920.
Replies received from 1892 county
and district superintendent showed an
actual shortage on October II of
140SG teachers. The number OF
teachers below standard in prepara-
tion-that is, those who have not
had at least two years of profess
sional training beyond four-year
high school course-was reported as
23,31S. The replies showed that in a
large majority of the states fewer
than one-half of the teachers have had
that amount of training. Some sup
erintendents reported that only 1(
per cent Of the teachers had attained
this standard.
The largest number Of vacancies
979, was reported in Alabama. Texas
with 927, Pennsylvania with 727, Vir.
ginia with 1893, and North Carolina
with 6S3, We're next in order. Nevada
reported no shortage, and Rhode
Island but vacancies. Pennsylvania
reported the largest number of teach.
ers below standard, or 1,G4G, and was
followed by Texas with 1890, Alabama
with 1920, North Carolina with /,
O64, Missouri with 1858 and Georgi.
with 1851.
The number of vacancies and the
number OF teachers below STANDARD
as reported gave a total of 37,404. OF
the assumption that the unreporte(
counties Of Il state would show th'
same condition as those reported it l.
estimated that the combined mum
ber Of vacancies and of teachers be
low standard throughout the countr!
is 92,949.

lesson that can be applied by every
individual to his own life.
Our associates largely make us
what we are, then it is of tremend-
Gus Importance whom we select as our
associates. There are pictures that
influence our lives, there are books
whose teachings are indelibly written
upon our characters. The alert boy
or man is constantly accepting and
just as constantly rejecting. He
forms in his idea his ideal Of a man.
He makes his choice Of the kind Of
man he wants TO be and then when
influences contrary to his ideal are
presented they are rejected. When
influences which are pleasing to him
and meet with the requirements of
his ideal of man they are accepted
and made a part Of him.
\ son of wealthy man was asked
as to his ideal Of a man. What
pursuit he wished TO choose for him
self His reply was that he wanted
to be n policeman. Within a year
from that time the same boy was ask
ed about the same question and he
stated that his desire was to be an
electrical engineer. Not long after
this when the boy had grown more
intellectual and more ambitious he
expressed desire to be an executive.
He wanted TO be at the head of big
company. lie wanted to learn all
about business. He wanted TO learn
all about men and how TO get along
with them and how to handle them.
The changes that had been made in
the mind OF the boy represented his
growth. That growth came from his
school work, from his association at
home with his father and from OBJ
serving men and in selecting those
whom he most admired.
Moulding the thought and forming
the character of the boy may be
classed as one Of the worlds most
useful activities. Too much attention
cannot be paid to the selection OF
men for this class of work.
