This and That from Washington
-By Congressman Frances p. BoIton--

Probably the most serious factor
in the teacher shortage is the salary
problem. People who are capable
of professional preparation and who
expend time and money obtaining
it are justified in seeking profess
sional recognition in income; more
over no profession is stable if those
who follow it are constantly in
economic jeopardy" Secretary Civ
ems points out. Three percent Of
the nations teachers are paid less
than $500. this year. Twenty-Five
percent receive from $500. to
$2399. The average salary for class
room teachers across the nation is
S3167. Comparison with salaries in
other occupations shows that the
average salary of classroom teach
ers, principals and supervisors in
creased 108 percent, while the ad-
vance for other average incomes
was 1872 percent. An interesting note
is that in 1910 the average teacher
was earning II percent more than
the average gainfully employed per-
son. These facts about deficiencies
and low salaries for our public
school teachers do not make a good
record for America.
N. E. A. recommends "a mini
mum annual salary for teachers OF
$500. Even this" they report, sis
below the sum necessary to restore
the average salary to its pre-war
status in relation to earnings OF all
gainfully employed persons"
All in all, the above facts do not
make a good picture. They constl-
tute a problem which the American
people must themselves take the re-
sponsibility for solving in their
communities, with local educators
and civic officials. Better decisions
must be made as to what our
schools are to teach, what kind OF
persons are to teach our children
and how much is to be paid for
that education.
In. N E. AS report referred to,
Secretary Givens called our public
school system the very cornerstone
of popular government. He struck
out at those who charge the schools
with subVersive tendencies, saying
that if communism comes to this
country 1T will not come through
the educational institutions as
such. It will arise in the frustra-
ton, discrimination, corruption and
defiance of law, and disdain for the
freedoms that still may be found
in some of the darker corners OF
American lite"

reported for 100000 pupils in the
school year 1951-52. This means
more than overcrowding and un-
manageably large classes, it means
just what it part time" edu-
cation for our youngsters, to say
nothing of the double time for
many teachers. At present the worst
pressure is in the elementary
schools, with a peak enrolment ex-
pected in 1956-57. High school en-
rollment will begin to reflect the
high birthrate of the past decade
by 1953-54, with the anticipated
peak in 1959-60.
The shortage of certified teach
ers, and those teaching who are not
fully qualified under the high teach
ing standards of our school system
continues to be problem. In the
years prior to 1941 those teaching
with sub-standard certificates were
about l in $40. In 1951-52 it is
estimated that in 13 teachers, or
7O,691, will hold so-called sub-stan-
dard teaching certificates.

brought to light in N. E. AS An

the report says: Nearly half of
Americas public school children re-
ceived a sub-average quality OF
school last year, measured in dollar
expenditures: one quarter of them
received a minimum essential type
of school. Another four million
children SIT years of age in 1850
received no school at all because
they are not enrolled" The 100000
children is figure estimated by
the bureau of the Census.
