No one questions the critica
need for new classroom con.
Istruction. 1t has been estimated
that over the next 10 years W.
must spend approximately $3l
billion for elementary and pri.
mary classrooms alone.
Critical Teacher Need
1 But an even more critical
need is that of getting and keep
ing qualified teachers.
l AS President Pusey Of Harvard
said recently, "CIassrooms in
which there are teachers with
mo exceptional gifts are place:
merely to keep young people
mot to educate them"
/ At the present time, our prob
lem is even more serious thar
that. We are rapidly reaching
THE time when we shall have
Iclassrooms with no teachers at
Iall in them.
The magnitude Of the teacher
shortage problem is indicated by
lone estimate that In tte next II
years we shall need approxi-
imately l.6 million new teachers
lat the present rate Of training
I'VE viii produce only 800.0 .00C
teachers during that period.
1 There Is no easy solution tc
this problem but all of US viii
lagrec that inadequate teachers
salaries are q substantial part
Iof the problem.
We shall have TO admit un-
fortunately that. with few ex-
.lceptions, the salaries paid tc
teachers III public and private
schools In the United States from
1.-THE college level down an
nothing short Of q national dis
lsrace and II the situation Is not
corrected 1t could lead to = ma
ltional disaster.
Some Comparisons
4 A few examples will suffice Ia
prove the point:
The purchasing power OF work
iers in auto manufacturing since
1904 has gone up 140 per cent
The pure h asi ng power oi
teachers in big city high schools
lin that same so year period went
down per cent,
In New York City, a college
graduate teacher begins at
salary Of $3.450. A driver of q
trailer truck earns $4,4l0.
/ In Detroit. beginning teachers
receive $3,862. The average car
lpentea receives $4,e46. the aver
lage tool and dye maker 5.305.
The average OF all industrial
workers In the city Of Flint
Mich, Is $500. The average
salaries paid to full professors in
the private colleges and univer-
.lsities of the United States is
l$4,591. The average salaries paid
ito associate professors in State
colleges and universities in the
United States is $4,727.
4 Now 1t is true, as some say,
THAT a good teacher doesn't
teach just for money. and al
this point may ] say that the
eternal gratitude of all Afneri-
leans should 60 to the million
dedicated men and women who

THAT a teacher does not live to

live. And II this conference
could accomplish nothing more
than to stir the conscience o1

so great that we must tap al

meet it.

For example, in 1855, we spent
more money in elementary ant
high school education than WI
have spent in any year in th'
Nations history - $li.6 billion
-Four per cent Of that amounl
came from the Federal Govern
ment, 80 per cent from the
State governments. 40 per cen'
from local and county govern
Iments, and II per cent from
private sources.
Might I suggest. with these
figures In mind, that instead oi
lengaging in unproductive con-
ltroversy over the relative merits
iof private and public school
education that we should sub
Istitute helpful cooperation be-
tween the two systems of un.
healthy competition. There is Q
place and a need for both types
Iof educational facilities in oul
national life and we can not
lafford the luxury of weakening
leither one or the other.

with which we are confronted
Federal aid will be and should
lbe q subject for discussion al
this conference,
4 / think we should recognize al
the outset that some additional
Federal activity and responsible
lity is inevitable and necessary
lin the field Of education.
But we should have these
caveats In mind:
| As the statistics ! have just
Cited so eloquently Illustrate, the
primary source of funds fol
ledncation Is from local and State
\ governments rather than the
/ Federal Government. A Fed
Ieralized program would not be
adequate to do the job. Any
Federal program which dis
lcourages or reduces the local OF
State contribution would be a
tragic mistake. Whatever Fed
leral activity Is undertaken must
be designed to encourage more
local and State responsibility
rather than less.
And as we consider Federal
aid. we must remember that we
want our education 10 be free
and that freedom and Federal
control are incompatible.
| system Guarantees Freedom
/ There is no greater power that
la Government could exercise
lover q people than TO be able to
dictate what the young should
learn. Our whole Constitutional
system Is based on the principle
that diffusion Of power is the
best answer TO tyranny and the
best guarantee Of freedom. {
Thomas Jefferson stated the
case against centralizing power

stroyed liberty and the rights OF

Mr.. Mitchell said he was bas-

chairman Neil H. McElroy
whether the delegates had signed
an oath Of obligation to support
the Constitution when they
signed Government travel vouch-
ers. II not. he suggested, they
might not be entitled to any

Mr.. McElroy said he would

Without prejudicing your de
liberations, ] should like to EN-
phasize some of the subjects OF
your agenda which seem partic
ularly important to me.
At the outset. let us recognize
that we cannot and should no
expect complete agreement OF
the magnitude of the. problems
which confront us or on ths
methods we should adopt fol
solving them. This should moi
concern us, however, because
constructive discussion and de-
bate is always beneficial. AS q
result Of 1t, bad ideas will be dis.
carded and good ones will be
improved upon.
We expect some healthy con-
troversy to develop during this
conference and we welcome it
Because, as those of you here
are aware, this conference has
not been stacked or its members
chosen in order to insure pre-
determined, preconceived rec
concentrations.
Best Thinking Needed
The problems we have are
difiicult ones. We need the very
best thinking Of all Of our people
10 md the right answers to
them.
The fact that over 500 ,0Ot
men and women, the most peo.

ground or what he intends to be
to have an education.
While there is disagreement or
the magnitude of the problem
there Is general agreement or
the fact that our available sch0o
facilities and the number Of oul
teachers are not keeping UP with
our increasing population.
As the President said IN his
opening message to this con-
ference, we believe that the pri.
mary responsibility for main
tanning educational facilities
should be local and State rather
than Federal.
Some Lack Resources
But we also recognize that
some local communities have in
sufiicient resources to maintain
adequate educational standards
and that some means must be
found to supplement those re-
sources without irnpairing Local
control Of sitting local initiative
While we may disagree or
what to teach or how. we believe
that freedom to teach and free
dom to learn is fundamental tc
our progress and to the survival
of our democratic form Of gov
ernment.
The problems we discuss here
are Of such vital Importance tc
the welfare Of all our people that
they should be considered on 8
nonpartisan rather than q par
tisan basis.
In the framework Of these
general principles may be per.
n1itted now some observations or

Citrus Fruit Is
Good Food Buy In
Next Two Months

Plenty of high quality fresh cit
rus fruit is available on Ohio food
markets now.
Mrs. Helen Buck, Home DEM
onstration Agent in Madison
County says, that January and
February mark the season of
greatest supply, widest variety,
and best quality of the citrus fruit
crop. Grapefruit, oranges and tam
gerines are lead items in most
food stores. Since the 1855 citrus
fruit crop is expected to be con-
siderably larger than last year,
prices are exceptionally low.
Mrs. Buck calls attention of
homemakers to the fact that cit
rus fruit is one of the best sour
ces of vitamin c, and because this
vitamin cannot be stored in the
human body, it must be replen-
ished daily. Citrus fruit provides
an easy way to do this, she says.
It can be served as fruit at any
meal and it combines well with
other fruits and vegetables for at
tractive salads or deserts.
A chilled half grapefruit or a
glass of fresh orange juice is an
excellent morning "eye opener"
and a quick source of energy for
the day. Why not try one of them
for your breakfast tomorrow?
