; Teachers in Sight, Says
; u. S. Bureau.

An alarming shortage of teachers
in the public high schools of the
United States when they reopen
next September was forecast yes
terday by the United Bureau Of Ed
ucation.
According to A. o. Neal, one OF
the bureau experts, there will be
not less than $4,000 teaching posi-
tions in the high schools without
properly qualified teachers. This
estimate is based on the results OF
an extensive inquiry among the
schools and communications from
more than 1000 high schools show
ing their needs.
Those schools now employ 65,S51
teachers" says the bureaus state
ment, "and they will require 1875
new teachers in the fall to provide
for the normal increase in enroll
ment and to take the places OF
those who are leaving the schools
for other work. Neal estimates
total OF 25,97S places must be filled
before the next school term begins.
Out of 323 colleges and universities
reports showed that of their gradu-
ates only 1880 men and 4,742
women will take up the work of
high school teaching.
