THE TEACHING
PROFESSION
Salaries and Working C0ndi.
ti0ns Make Education At
tractive Occupation
LOSSES FROM RANKS

Teaching salaries and working
conditions still make education a
relatively attractive occupation
for women, according to a recent
study by the Business Guidance
and Placement Bureau and the
School of Education of the Uni
versity of Delaware. William o..
Penrose, dean of the School of
Education, today revealed find
ings which should encourage wo-
men students to consider the
teaching field where need for
trained people is great and pro-
gress is rapidly being made to-
ward a better wage standard.
Statistics show that starting sal
aries for women in the teaching
profession are now higher than
those offered in other areas open
to them. Unfortunately many of
the better financial offers come
from schools in other states, a
situation which frequently causes
the best qualified graduates to
seek positions beyonl the boun-
daries of Delaware. The teaching
wage standard is still deterrent
for qualified male students. Start
ing salaries for men graduates in
liberal arts, science, engineering,
business, and agriculture all top
the initial teaching wage and a
great many occupations h ave
made more wage gains in recent
years than has teaching. A study
of qualified Undergraduates in
recent University of Delaware
classes indicates that in addition
to normal losses from the teach
ing ranks attributed to marriage
or service in the armed forces
many students are leaving the
field to accept more lucrative
jobs or are refusing to enter a
teaching position from the very
outset. This situation, the Pen
rose report concludes, continues
to plague school administrators
throughout the nation. 1t is ap-
parent that the so-called teacher
shortage is not SO much need
for more instructors as it p the
necessity to make the profession
a sound financial occupation
which will attract and hold quail
flied individuals at every level

Myron Milbouer, manager of
the Wilmington Federal social Sc
curity office has announced a
change in the schedule of visits

the people in the Dover area will
continue to call upon our repre-
sentative for information about
their Federal old-age and survi-
vors insurance program" Mr.. Mil
bouer continued, and avail them
selves of his assistance in filing
claims" He reminded persons de-

Wild Plum Jelly

ONE OF OUR readers has COM
planned that the flavor of wild plum
jelly is bitter A request for advice
brought a number of replies and most
of all it brought strong defense of the
delicious jelly made from that fruit
which grows on the prairies of the
western states.
We remember as a child in North
Dakota that along in May the plum
trees would be loaded with sweet smell
ing white blossoms. We thought them
the loveliest of spring odors. Then in
August the red and yellow fruit would
hang from the branches. They were
favorite fruit for jelly-clear, spar
king, rich ruby red with an almost
acrid flavor. 1t was delicious with
cold meats or hot biscuits.
Many of our readers came to the res
cue with suggestions.
''By mixing apple juice with the wild
plum juice in equal amounts a milder
flavor results"
Mother always covered the wild
plumS with water, added a teaspoon
of soda and let them come to boil
She then poured that water off and used
the plums just as any other fruit to
make jelly"
do not boil them too long and do
not cook them to pieces. Drain in jelly
bag but do not squeeze. The bitter
taste comes from overlooking and
squeezing. I've made it and it has the
best flavor of any jelly I have ever
eaten.'
Pour off the first juice from the
plums. Cover with more water and use
the second juice for the jelly. The first
juice may be mixed with apple juice,
half and half
Remove pits from the wild pIums
before cooking. Put pulp through food
chopper. For jelly, cover with water,
bring to boil, put through jelly bag.
Do not squeeze. Test for pectin and
use sugar accordingly"
''Wash plums. Fill quart jar one
third full of the whole plums. Fill with
water. Process 20 minutes in hot water
bath or 10 minutes with pounds pres
sure. Seal in jars. Will keep for at
least 2 years. When needed, pour
through jelly bag and use regular jelly
recipe. Makes a clear, sparkling, del
icate jelly"
