Demand Growing
For Teachers In
Ohio Schools

COLUMBUS - If Ohio colleges
are to supply enough teachers to
meet the demand in 1861, Sc out
of every hundred freshmen enter
ing college this fall must enroll
in preparation for teaching, ac-
cording to Harold J. Bowers, Di-
rector of the Division of Teacher
Education and Certification in
the State Department of Educa-
ton.
Mr.. Bowers mace this statement
in a report prepared for the
Governors Commission on Higher
Education and the State Board OF
Education. He noted that at the
present time SO per cent of Ohio's
high school graduates entered
college. This means that approx
mately 27,000 freshmen will enter
Ohio colleges this fall. He further
said that due to failures, drop
outs, and the fact that many pre-
pared to teach do not actually
teach, it requires 200 freshmen to
get 100 teachers in the classroom
four years later.
Each year Sc per cent of the
teaching staff must be replaced
because of marriage, retirement,
and numerous other reasons. In
addition, it requires an average of
24S4 new teachers each year to
cope with the increase in enroll
ment.
To serve the 1854, Isl children
who will be enrolled in Ohio
schools in 1861 it will require a
staff of 76,037 certificated en-
ployees. To provide this staff will
require 1876 teachers in that
year.
"At the present time, Bowers
said, "Ohio is getting % per cent
of its new teachers from other
states. However, there is no as
s,lrance that this supply will con-
tinue. AS salaries improve IN
other states, we can no longer at
tract them. While emphasizing the
need for the future I do not mean
to imply that the supply for TINS

September is adequate. At the mo-
ment there are approximately
1900 untitled positions. If we could
persuade those fully qualified for
teaching who are now employed
in industry, or serving as house.
wives to return to the classroom,
we could solve our problem, at
least for the present"
What to do about all this? Mr..
Bowers feels that it is imperative
to:
1. Strive to reduce the annual
loss of teachers.
2. Greatly increase the number
of high school graduates who en-
ter preparation for teaching.
3. Provide adequate college faci-
lities and staff for their prepara-
ton.
A. Provide better counseling pro-
grams at both the high school anG
college level
5. Have colleges inaugurate a
selective admission policy, design,
ed to reduce the number of fail.
ures and drop-outs.
s. Find some means of provid.
ing grants-in-aid to enable stu
dents who are financially unable
to attend college.
7. Strive to persuade a higher
per cent of those preparing to
teach in Ohio to accept employ
ment in Ohio schools.
8. Continue our efforts to get
former teachers who hold stand
ard certificates in the classroom.
9. Have colleges develop stream
lined but adequate programs,
whereby non-professional degree
holders may be prepared for
teaching in a minimum amount
of time.
10. Recognize the fact that plac-
ing a poorly prepared teacher in
the classroom merely aggravates
the problem of teacher shortage,
rather than solves it.

To The Editor:

To The Editor:
A great deal of thanks and ap-
probation are due to the inter-
ested citizens of the Caledonia
School area who planned, and then
carried through, the series of three
polio shots offered to the public
at $1.00 each. People from all Of
East Cleveland and other areas
took advantage of this public
spirited venture.
Not many of the 500 receiving
the three shots realize the
troubles encountered by the few
people who arranged this affair
for them. Fortunately, obtain
ing volunteer services Of a doctor
and qualified nurses was not
nearly as difficult as the many
obstacles encountered in obtaining
the vaccine, syringes and needles.
The time, effort and expense in
volved in this work by the COM
mittee was tremendous.
And then, if you can believe it,
there were recipients of the shots
who complained to this volunteer
committee about having to stand
in line waiting for their shot.

They watched and listened as

They saw voters come in and sign

shown the locked ballot box, and
were told how the election officials
stay up until late at night count

AS final step in their learning
