Governor Lauds
Work Of Public
School Teachers

Addressing the graduating clcass
of the Maryland State Teachers Col
lege at Towson, Md, Governor Her
bert r. O'Conor paid sincere tribute
ito the work of the teachers in the
Public School System.
Undoubtedly the heart of any
good school system is the teacher,
the Governor declared. "No schoo.
system can be effective unless ths
teachers are well trained and wei.
paid, happy and contented in their
work. Maryland can be proud OF the
progress she has made in respect to
raising the requirements for teach
ing. These qualifications are among
the highest in the various states.
Likewise, salaries have been raised
on several occasions during the past
twenty years.
"The big problem we are facing,
however, is not the qualifications OF
teachers, nor the salaries, but the
supply. Tke loss of teachers from
the service began shortly before the
war and later ran to tremendous
proportions. This trend still contin-
ues and undoubtedly will be one that
we shall have to cope with for some
years to come. The explanation for
this loss of tearhers is simple. The
strength of our school system in nor
NAL times has been one of its weak
nesses in wartime. The fact that thc
teachers are highly trained and wei
qualified has made most of them
most valuable in other occupations
particularly in war industries and
governmental service.
Maryland has been particularly
favored in the realm of educacition
Politics or ulterior considerations are
not allowed to interfere with the pro-
per expansion of our public schoo
system. The individuals who have
given so generously of their time
and of their talents in the public
school system are entitled to our pro
found gratitude. The President ano
members of our State Board of Edu
cation, the State Superintendent
members of our County Boards o
Education and the County Superin
tendents, as well as the splendid
teaching personnel, all have made {
lasting contribution to the welfare
of our State. Supporting their effort
have been an enlightened citizenry
which through Parent Teacher Asso
Citations and other groups, have Civ
