DR.. Perkins explained. "While we

good fortune, there is no mystery
about the shortage of teachers
when incidents such as this point
to what is generally prevalent"
Here is a student with no un-
usual scholastic achievement, no
previous experience or exceptional
talent being offered a starting po-
sition in industry at a salary high
er than he could ever earn in the
public schools of Delaware" the
university president declared.
mot only does this wage repre-
sent more than any of our high
school teachers are earning, but
il is $1,000 greater than that paid
to assistant professors at the Uni
versity of Delaware. "In fact" DR..
Perkins explained, this salary is
almost as much as we pay our as
sociate professors who have a Ph.D.
| degree and many years of expert
ence."
1.-THE long-run effect of this in
equity in the salary situation
means that these very industries
which are now hiring inexperienced
people and must Oay such good
people and must pay such good

will be no adequately trained

Traffic lights are still needed in
