STATE TEACHER
PLANNING
Letters To School Boards Con-
cerning Teacher Certifi-
Gates By DIR. Miller
LONG RANGE PROGRAM

In letter to the school boards
and boards of school trustees, the
State Board of Education has re-
iterated its policies relating to
teacher certification and improve
ment of educational personnel.
The letter, signed by DR.. George
r. Miller, Jr., Secretary of the
State Board of Education, states
that thirty-six states employ more
non-degree teachers than Delaware
does. This, it was pointed out, is a
most favorable position placing
Delaware in the upper fourth of
the states. The State Board of Ed
ucation is not content for Delaware
to remain at this point and will
take steps to enhance this position
as the supply of qualified teachers
permits. The letter states that this
will not be done in any way that
will be unjust or unfair to the
teachers concerned.
1t has been the policy of the
State Board of Education not to
issue any temporary or provisional
certificates unless they were abso-
iutely essential. In answer to num-
erous inquiries concerning teacher
certification the letter states that
those who advocate immediate
withdrawal of such certificates are
unmindful of the fact that in spite
of attractive salaries, critical
teacher shortages still exist in GER
tain areas of the high school and
throughout the elementary school.
Only six states are preparing in
four year programs as many as
the number of teachers needed for
normal replacements alone. 1t is
stated that Delaware is not one of
these.
A report of the Research division
in December, 1948, indicates that
eight per cent of the total elemen-
tary and secondary school person.
mel held temporary emergency GER
tificates as compared with almost |
fifteen per cent during the 1945-46 |
school term.
The State Board of Education
letter points out that provisional
certificates are issued to teachers
whose training shows certain de-
ficiencies for the type of position
they are filling. BY this means, it
has been possible to salvage a num-
Der of good teachers who otherwise
would have been lost to the profess
sion. The provisional certificate
obligates the holder to embark
upon program of education ap-
proved by the State Superintend-
ent. For renewal six credits must
be accomplished each year until the
program is completed. This devel-
opment program has been in effect
for some time.
The statement further points
out that every teacher has been re-
quired to renew her certificate at
frequent intervals by travel, teach
ing in summer schools, writing ed
ucational articles, or study at an
college or university. The
State Board points out that many
teachers, of their own volition and
of their own desire for self-im-
provement, have been taking such
courses.
The State Board of Education
is committed to a long range plan
of continuing to improve the edu-
cational personnel. The letter en-
phasizes that this long range pro-
gram must be fair and just to all
the teachers concerned,

The need for the new wing and
a larger nurses home and school is
increasing monthly.
The nursing school will open
shortly with possibly fifteen sku-
dents in the freshman class.
More room is needed badly in the
hospital, for proper supply stor-
age, for out-patient care and for
dietary service. There are other
modern services that could be add
ed if room and money were avail
able. The people of the area serv-
ed by this hospital even now after
10 years operation do not know
much about this institution unless
they or some of their fan lily have
been patients in the hospital.
Visit --ur hospital, ask at the
business office for someone who
knows to show you through the
hospital. Get the answer to any
question in your mind regarding
the hospital at the hospital.

NelC School Building
Is Accepted By
LOcGL Group
Continued from nrst page1

The physical education office has
been moved to the first floor and
the old physical education office
has been redecorated for the guild
ance office. This change eliminates
a great amount of pupil traffic and
consolidates the educational offices
of the High School.
The Board regrets to announce
that the new addition will not pro-
vide adequate space for all of the
elementary pupils. That being the
case, the building on North Street
will have to be used until local and
state funds, can be procured for
further construction. For this
school year. pupils in grades one
and two will attend the North
Street school. ALI other pupils will
attend the Lake Avenue School.
The Board also announced they
were considering methods to trans
port pupils in the first six grades
who reside within the corporate
limits. This problem developed
since the past legislature prohibit
ed by law the carrying of school
children within the corporate iim-
it's by bus contractors furnished by
the State. Several proposals are
being considered and an announce
ment concerning this matter will
be made later.
Numerous repairs have been
made to the Benjamin Ranneker
School during the summer months,
with most of the rooms redecOra
ted. A new program clock has been
ordered, and money for a movie
protector encountered.

From a per capita or average

country with 1881 in 194s. Mis-

$75S.
Ranking next in order from
New York at the top were Illinois,
