the Ford Foundation has it,
way. the country win get more
teachers this fall. And they
win be prepared better. too.
A new method Of training
teachers Is being financed and
sponsored by the foundation.
The most drastic change IN
teacher education in 100 years
viii get . wide testing when
schools reopen next month.
For generations teachers at
tended the traditional schools
of education. or teachers col
leges, where they learned the
skills Of running . classroom.
Until lately not much atten-
ton was paid to content
courses. As o result, many
teachers knew how to teach
history, geometry or science,
but knew very little about
these subjects themselves.
SIS Million Grants Made
Recently the Ford Founda-
ton announced grants Of 81
million to 10 Of the Nations
leading colleges and universal
ties, to experiment with new
teaching methods. Previously
the foundation gave about the
same amount to various col
leges throughout the country
in an attempt to "breah
through" the field Of teacher
education.
Among the colleges which
will train teachers under newel
methods this fall win be Bar

But In the course Of their
testimony they presented q va
ried assortment Of facts and
figures which form q revealing

lens - and achievements - Of
fast-growing communities.
Enrollments Rise
Take Fairfax County. for In
stance.
Enrolment has increased
from 1000 in 1910 to $1,000 to-
day. The number of classrooms
has increased from ESQ In 1850
to more than 100 today-with
the school debt going from al
most nothing nine years ago To
about $40 million.
An estimated $24.5 million for
708 more classrooms will be
needed to handle the expected
enrolment Of $500 In 1868,
The real and personal property
school taxes are currently 92.64
The operating outlay per pupil
has increased from $3.50 In 1850
to an estimated $323 this COM
ling year. The ie58-59 budget
totaled Sta million.
Acute Situation
Montgomery County faces q
mo less acute situation.
Enrolment has increased
from %, 900 in 1850 to an esti-
mated $4,000 this fall. The
school debt during this period
has gone from $28.6 million to
$74 million. More than 50 per
cent Of the county's tax revenue
goes to education; the current
school tax rate is about $2.13
It was $1.42 in 1850.
Serious problems are seen in
the future at the high-school
level, where costs are greatest
and where enrolment has gone
from 8.799 in 1850 to over a.
600 this year. The operating
budget during the same period

university, should be able to

'This effort toward Q break

Head. president Of the Ford
Foundation. reflects, and
seeks to advance, growing
trends to overcome weaknesses
In teacher education. Even II
American schools were not
faced with o shortage Of teach
ers. they would need improve
ment In the quality Of teach
ers and teaching"
Weak Spots Pointed Out
Some Of the weak spots in
American education were out
lined by DR.. Heald In this way:
The relatively poor quality Of
instruction for future teachers
in many places, the neglect Of
subject matter In favor Of en-
phasis on teaching methods
and the lack Of attention to
actual teaching In school sys-
TENS by the graduate students.
He also referred to the State
teacher certification require
ments as q further barrier.
One thing seems assured:
The schools Of education are
now in the midst Of q tremen-
dous upheaval. Much soul
searching is taking place. The
estimated shortage Of qualified
teachers. as school opens. goes
above the 100000 mark. Some
way must be found to get more
Of the brighter students into
teaching. Many young men
and women look upon teaching
as the last resort; If they can
find no other job, they win 60
into education.
That attitude Is dangerous
in today's space age. Good
teachers are essential for the
continuance Of American de-
mocracy and Americas position
among the nations Of the world.
The Ford Foundation deserves
credit for the impact it has
made on the teaching profess
sion. This is o highly con-
structiye use Of foundation
money.
