The above is based on the as
sumption that we shall continue to
make more educational OppOrtun-
tiles available for our youth, as we
always have. Educators claim that
by 1870 a good third of our young
people of college age may enroll.
This would more than double stu
dent bodies, and perhaps require
double the number Of teachers and
much more classroom space. Per-
sonally. / believe this is like fore
casting 500 for the Industrial Stock
Average. / question such figures.
The Teacher Problem
The teacher shortage will not
be limited to colleges. Our elemen-
tary and secondary schools may
need about 100000 new teachers
each year for the foreseeable fu-
ture. Yet, it is estimated by the
experts that only about half the
number of teachers. needed for the
public schools alone will be grad
uated from college.
But, someone will have to teach
your little Johnny and Susie. If
adequately trained teachers are
not available, persons with sub
standard qualifications will have to
be pressed into service. Now, why
is there teacher shortage? The
answer, in part, is that teachers
are underpaid.
Salaries Compared

salaries averaged about $4,000 for

BaBson Discusses Colleges, Schools, And Taxes

Babson Park, Mass, jan 20. Do
you hope you will be able to send
your children to college sometime
between now and 1864? If you ex-
pect them to get a sound education,
and you get your moneys worth,
much must be done. Both teachers
salaries and their efficiency (Which
is now comparatively low must be
increased.
College Problem Is Serious
Fifty years ago, only 40 of the
youth of college age were able to
go to college. Two great events
on our national scene boosted en-
rollments sharply-the depression
and the G. /. Bill. Prewar, about
1596of our youth of college age
attended such schools. Between
1945-49 a little better than $50
were enrolled. Then, the number
shrank during 195O-52. Chiefly re-
sponsible for this drop was the
fewer number of births in the 1890
35 depression.
But, 1852 saw a 1870 increase in
college enrOllments over 1851; and
1858 rose 4.S9o over 1852, so that
again about $3.50 Of our youth OF
eligible age were in college. 1854
fall enrollments probably regis.
| tered a 69o-89o increase.
Can College Forecasts Be Trusted
If you project to 1870 the number
Of children already born, you will
have a 1870 increase in the youth
Of college age by 1860. a 1870 in
/ crease by 1865 and a 70qo increase
l by 1870. And if an increasing per

age go on to college. enrollments
could double by 1870.

ago. And 1953-54 was a good year
for the teachers too. for it repre-
sented and average salary of 4.896
over the previous year.
Still. 14.196 of the 1,O28,S99 tea
chers received less than $2,5OO, and
only 14qo received $4,000 or more.
College teachers salaries go very
little higher. The medium income
Of physicians, on the other hand,
was about $11 200; lawyers, $3.50;
dentists, $7,1OO; but with much
higher top figures attainable. How
can we hope to hold good men in
top educational jobs which pay
So, ,O00-$8,5O0 when their counter
parts in industry offer ceilings un-
limited?
Taxes Should Not Be Raised
If we want capable teachers, we
shall have to pay wages competi-
tive enough to encourage them to
make the tremendous outlay of
time and expense needed for their
education. To hold our able tea
chers, we shall have to up salaries.
This means higher taxes.
/ forecast that our Democratic
Society, with full employment, can
prosper only as we provide ade.
quate schooling for our youth,
with a moderate tax rate. This
means that our educational leaders
must provide far more efficient

Paving Our Hell


On his arrival at New YOrk's

General Dag Hammarskjold told |
reporters that. his mission to the |
Red Chinese capital of Peiping was |
only the first step in securing the
release of the II imprisoned Ameri-
can flyers and other Americans held
in Red Chinese jails. The UN ennis
sary, who had flown completely

But the phony spy" convictions

have not been released. The hun
dreds Of unreturned American
POWs from the Korean War have
not been released.

The warning is a pictorial. story
which details the dangers involved

They should travel in groups when

TWO GREAT FACTS

It has been said that the most effective
answer to communist propaganda IS Amer
lean newspaper advertising.
The advertising, in this connection, is
symbol symbol Of what the American
system of free enterprise has done for the
living standards of the people.
According to the American Economic.
Foundation, a Russian worker, reading the
ads would see that an American worker
can buy a shirt with one hours earnings Tin
stead Of the Russians % hOurs), suit or
overcOat with three days earnings (instead
of AZ days), and a pair of shoes with one
days earnings (instead of II days)."
If that Russian worker had an OppOrtun-
ity to walk into a typical American retail
store he wouldn't be able to believe his eyes.
The abundance would seem an illusion. And
so would the fact that the goods on display
are offered at prices within the means OF
the masses of people, not just the few.
The Foundation also observed that Marks
theory that mass production leads to unem-
plOyment and impOverishment Of the masses
is upset by two facts: "The first fact .
is that mass production is impossible with
out mass consumption, and that mass con-
Sumption is impossible without an increase
Fin the material welfare of the masses. The
second fact is that mass consumption brings
economic freedom to the masses"
Every American retail outlet is an eX-
ample Of those facts.

Hayes and I both have had an
interesting week.

Wing Headquarters called Hayes
commanding officer, Colonel Fred
A. Shirley, and told him to make
Hayes available as observer on a
crew to take three-star general
Leon w. Johnson on his first BAY
Jet bomber flight and asked for
Fred to 60 as one Of the pilots.
Hayes and Fred, having been neigh
bors for a year and a half, seem
to enjoy working together and are
pleased when missions are planned
with them as pilot and observer on
the same crew.
Lieutenant General Johnson was
in his native Kansas as an honOred
guest for the Inauguration of Gov
ernOr Fred Hall. He was invited to
Forbes Air Force Base by Brig.
General David Wade, who is 21st
Air Division Commanding Officer
at our base.
