He explained:
"A passenger travelling from
San Francisco to New York. or
from any point in the United
States to Canada, Mexico. Cen
tral America or the West Indies,
who purchases his ticket in the
United States. is required to pay
the tax on the entire fare. How
ever, by contrast, travel from
New York. for example, to any
point in Europe or South Amer
lea. which does not involve an
intermediate stop by the carrier
in the United States, Canada or
Mexico, is completely tax free"
Mexico Action Moy Help
It is known that certain
foreign governments have made
representations to the State De-
partment. citing this type of
tariff barrier" and asking for
q solution. They haven't man
aged to make a dent in the
tariff" yet.
But Mexico. wanting tourists
more at a time when interest in
that country appears to be weak
ening, has been bold enough or
rash enough to bring this dis
criminatory tax issue to head.
It decided to impose a similar
tax of 8 per cent on tickets sold
by foreign airline.
The Mexican tax is to become
effective in about 10 days.
U. 5. Tox Cited
According to an Associated
Press dispatch from Mexico City
last week. the bill was enacted

rush of legislation in the final
days of December. 1t was ap-
proved, the dispatch said, after
Mexican airlines pointed out
that the United States taxes all
tickets sold for domestic and also
some foreign flights by Is per
cent.
Mexico's levy fortifies the ar
guments Of those who see repeal
Of the domestic transportation
tax as best effected through re-
pealing its application to nearby
foreign lands. That could be a
foot in the door for complete
repeal.
The tax on travel to Europe
was eliminated entirely shortly
after World War II. Why the
discrimination against other for
eign lands at that time? Or, that
being somewhat the case of
water over the dam, why con-
tinue it now? Congress might
have difficulty answering that
one.

Guesses have been ventured
that the best the transporta-
ton industry can hope for Is q
reduction in the tax to 10 per
cent. Prospects Of a cut to S
per cent were raised by the in
PRODUCTION Of q bill last week in
the House to set a uniform ex-

tend it to a longer list Of goods
and services.
Discriminatory Tex
But if the slightest tax re-
mains on transportation by COM
mon carriers. the cry Of dis
elimination will have reason. If
not power. For the transporta-
ton interests have pointed out
that the levy is particularly bur-
densome to those in the lower
income brackets who must use
their services.
Testimony offered the House
committee by Ernest Nickerson,
vice president Of the New York
Central Railroad, made the point
that four out Of every ten fam
lilies in the United States lack
private automobiles, and the
majority Of these families are
grouped in the lower income
brackets. with earnings below
$4,000 annually. It is these fam
lilies, railroad witnesses contend,
that bear the more acute burden
OF the excise tax on travel.

pared today than they were six
years ago as 1888 per cent have a
bachelors degree or higher,
whereas in 1947 69.5 percent were
thus classified. During this period
the number of teachers in Ohio
has increased from 40,382 to
50,512.
(2) Practically all Ohio's under
trained teachers are in the field
of elementary education. Forty-one
per cvnt of all elementary teachers
in Ohio have less than four years
college education, whereas 316 per
cent of all high school teachers
fall into this category. Fifty-three
per cent of the elementary teach
ers, without degrees, are employed
in rural school districts.
90 The youngest teaching staffs,
in terms of years of experience
are in the rural school districts.
The teachers with the highest
number of years experience are in
the city school system.
~ The greatest spread in the
average years of service is among
the high school teachers with the
cities reporting 1879 years and the
rural districts reporting 10.5
years. Almost one fourth 1920,
of Ohio's teachers have twenty,
five years or more of experience
Many of these teachers will be
leaving the profession within a
few years and requirements must
be secured. There are 1,546 teach
ers employed today who have forty
or more years of experience.
For the state as whole, the av'
erage teacher has had four years
of training and 1872 years of ex.
perience. The average high school
teacher has had four and one haB
years of training and the average
elementary teacher 3.8 years.
Both groups average little over
fifteen years of experience.
Port Clinton Teachers
The average training of a Port
Clinton teacher is 4.066 years
Elementary teachers have had
3.418 years of training, the high
school teacher, 4.673. The average
elementary teacher has had 1852
years of experience and the high
school teacher, 11.613. On the Port
Clinton staff there are twenty
nine teachers who have obtained
their bachelors degree, eleven
who have their masters degree,
and thj+een who have not COM
pleted their degree, but who are
taking work toward its completion.

of child psychology, six hours of
methods, and three hours in pur-
poses and practices of elementary

IA If necessary, eliminate kin
dergarten, thus making kipdergar-
ten teachers available for elemen-
tary teaching.
What is the Local Situation?
At the present time there are
fifty-three on the teaching staff of
the Port Clinton City Schools. 1t
is probable that two or three ad-
ditional teachers will be needed
for the 1954-55 school year.
Usually three or four drop or
change positions from one year to
another, so it is likely that there
will be five or six new members
on the staff when school opens in
September.

Teacher Outlook for iss4I9s5

IeacneF Cuftook fof tS94-iTS9
In a recent article to the schools
of Ohio, Harold Bowers, Head OF
the Division of Teacher Certifica-
fion of the State Department OF
Education, made the following re-
port:
The schools of Ohio will require
at least 4,200 new teachers to re-
place losses. Increased enrolment
will probably require $500 addi-
tional teachers for a total of 6,700
new teachers, who will be needed
for the 1954-55 school year. MIR.
Bowers pointed out that Ohio col
leges, in June, will graduate ap-
proximately 1900 new teachers.
Some of these will not teach.
Some will go into other states, so
it is safe to say that at least 5000
new teachers will be needed for
September, 1854.
Where Are These Teachers
10 Be Found?
Mr.. Bowers pointed out that:
a. Due to present economic con-
ditions many who are qualified to
teach may again return to the
teaching profession.
(2) Ohio usually gains more out
of-state teachers than it loses to
other states.
