much of the training has been fol-

Hawkins Discusses
Teacher Shortage


That the teacher shortage in
Maryland was becoming more crit
ical was the statement this week
of Willard l.. Hawkins, county SUI
perintendent of schools With n
shortage of 100000 throughout the
country. Maryland alone will need
$500 new teachers to staff every
classroom next September Mary
land colleges will graduate only L.
100 students prepared to teach
OF this number quite few will
go to other fields and he estimated
Maryland would have to look for
as many as 200 teachers from be-
yond the borders of the state.
He pointed out that the teacher
pay scale was no longer drawing
card, with the present pay scale no
longer sufficiently high TO attract.
Mr.. Hawkins felt the situation
here would depend upon what hap
pens TO the teacher salary bill now
before the legislature. lie said fail
ure to pass the bill would result
in a large salary differential in the
counties of Maryland.
Last year the county teacher
turnover was one of the lowest in
the state but even then he said
there was difficulty in finding
trained people in specialized fields,
and number of teachers were en-
ployed who did not meet standard
certification
The present bill before the legis-
lature, if passed, would provide 4
$500 increase for teachers in 1857
So and another $500 in 1859 He
said such a bill would place the
county in a position to compete
favorably for its share of trained
teachers. AT present nearly 80 per-
cent of the annual cost of educa-
ton in the county is paid for by
the state. Increased teacher salaries
would also mean an increase in the
appropriation the county would re-
ceive for such operating costs as
textbooks, library books, instruc-
tional aids, insurance. maintenance
and repair, fuel, light, office eX-
penses, custodians' salaries. etc.
The amount of money received for
such necessities is based upon 20
percent of the teachers salaries
Mr.. Hawkins said it had long
been assumed a state responsibility
in Maryland to provide a sound
minimum program of education for
all children, regardless of where
they lived He said children here
deserve and need an education
just as good as that received by
children in the wealthiest counties,
and that teachers were just as
valuable to their schools here as
in wealthy counties and deserve
as much pay.
He pointed out the children here
now enjoy better education, in
better schools, by better teachers
than at any other period, but that
a large teacher turnover now would
not be good.
From the standpoint of keeping
good teachers in our classrooms,
