Housing Rate
AtLoWest
Ebb Since'52

Houses put under construc-
ton during September took more
than a seasonal drop to a total
of $4,000 units, the Labor De-
partment's Bureau of Labor
Statistics has reported.
This was a decrease of 5000
units from the number started
in August, the bureau said, and
the drop occurred entirely in
private house and chiefly in
metropolitan areas.
The bureau also noted that the
decline was divided evenly be-
tween housing financed conven-
tionally and that with Govern
ment-aSsisted mortgages.
Private housing started in
September. with allowance for
normal seasonal variation, was
at an annual rate of l million
units-the lowest rate since
January, 1852.
However, the bureau noted
that during the first nine months
of the year there had been
$4,000 new non-farm dwelling
units started. This figure was
below the corresponding periods
for 1850, 1854 and 1855, but.
above other years.

Unofficial champion is George Pipkin, whose
burro suddenly stopped eating flapjackS and
stood moaning. George suspected the burro
had toothache. Sure enough, he had hole
in front molar big enough to hold pick and
shovel. Then the burro vanished into thin air.
1t was full week before the burro came
back. The toothache obviously was gone. He
walked up to George, opened his mouth and
let out terrific bray. And you know what?
There was filling of pure uranium in the
tooth. Furthermore, the burrO led George
to the spot where he had located that uranium,
and now George and the burrO are each worth
II million dollars.
Shelton Day, of Baton Rouge, carried off a
prize or two with his tall tale about Louisiana
swamp rabbits. They're SO fast, AYERS Shelton,
you can't hit them with shotgun: you have to
use high-powered rifle. To kill these rabbits
on the run, you aim fast, shoot and then let out
a shrill whistle. At the sound Of the whistle,

SERVICEMEN We KNOW

While the title of this column
normally points to "servicemen"
we know, it doesn't exclude the
womenfolkS who are serving our
nation. Received a cordial letter
from WAC Private Annette Har-

Annette completed her basic
training at Fort Mcclellan, Ala
bama, last Thursday and is now
at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, pre-
pairing to enter Medical School
there. Annette joined the Wo-
mems Army Corps in August and
would have graduated from ba-

emergency operation in late Sep

school year, shows that enroll
ments in science and mathemat-
les courses have increased in di-
rect proportion to the increase in
total school enrolment. During
the years around 1850 there was
downward trend in enrollments
in science and mathematics
courses.
This was probably due to two
causes: First, the unfounded but
widespread fear expressed by
some of the engineering and scien-
tific professional groups that
there would shortly be surplus
of trained technical manpower.
Second, in 1884 the total high
school enrolment was less than in
1941-42. Increased enrollments in
recent years reflect the increas-
ing vocational interests of youth
in science and engineering as a
career. Enrollments in algebra
have almost doubled from low
of 1914 in 1850 to a high of 1908
in 1856 in the county high schools.
In the more advanced mathe-
MATES fields, plane and solid ge-
ometry and trigonometry, the sur
vey revealed similar trends.
A comparable situation prevails
in the science fields. Virtually one
hundred per cent of the ninth and
tenth grade enrollments in the
county high schools now take the
basic general science and biology
courses. In chemistry the 1856
enrolment was forty-two per cent
higher than the 1885 enrolment
and in physics it was fifteen per
cent higher. These figures clear
ly refute the popular idea that
our high school pupils are not

Gates that 81 per cent of the 564
full-time teachers held regular
certificates and "a per cent of the
324 part-time teachers also held
regular certificates.
The percentage of teachers
holding regular certificates in
science and mathematics is high
er than the percentage of regu-
larly certified teachers in other
fields.

tory.
Possibly the best indication of
the quality of the preparation re-
ceived by Maryland high school
students is the fact that during
the past two years college schol-
arships amounting to more than
$500,000 in value have been
awarded in the state each year.
Most of these scholarships were
awarded by out-of-state institu-
tons of higher learning, including
the leading universities of the
country.

Enrolment Trends
Science and Math
In High School

Enrollments in high school
science and mathematics courses
are showing a definitely upward
trend, according to a recent sur
vey conducted by the Maryland
State Department of Education.
Because of the prevailing wide
spread concern over the current
shortage of scientific manpower,
it is encouraging to note the in
creasing number of our high
school youth enrolling in both the
basic and advanced science and
mathematics courses in the county
public high schools.

from 1880 through the 1856

now interested in advanced
courses.
Another popular misconception
is that our high schools, especial
Iy-the smaller schools, do not Of
fer sufficient courses in advanced
science and mathematics. While
this may be true to some extent
in other states where school size
is a factor, the survey reveals
that such is not the case in Mary
land.
More than ninety-five per cent
of all county high schools, regard
less of size, offer courses in alge-
bra and chemistry. Plane geom-
etry is available in ninety-three
per cent and physics in ninety per
cent. On the basis of total enroll
ments, less than one per cent of
our pupils are not able to take
courses in algebra and chemistry.
Physics is available to over
ninety-six per cent of our high
school students. AS consolidation
of the small high schools contin-
ues, the time is very near when
both basic and advanced high
school science and mathematics
courses will be available to all
high school students.
Another encouraging part of
this study concerns certification
of teachers. The certificate status
