A COMMUNICATIVE program
to help attract school teachers
to Washington was officially
launched yesterday.
About 20 civic leaders, rep
resenting a range of groups
from the PTA to the bankers
association, met with school
officials to get the facts about
the current teacher shortage
here and to exchange ideas
about how to overcome it.
They plan to hold more meet
ings in the fall. Eventually
they will come up with an
action program in which their
individual organizations can
participate.
Supt. Carl F. Hansen ex-
pressed his delight at their
plans. This is very i'm
portant movement" he said.
He also gave statistical
explanation for why such a
movement is necessary: Last
year there we're 1850 tempo
rary teachers in the city's
schools-over Is per cent of
the teaching force. This num-
Der is twice as high as it was
in 1855.
In addition, DR.. Hansen
pointed out. the District last
year had a total of 618 teachers
new to the system.
More Serious in Cities
The superintendent had no
answers to the problem. which
is one affecting virtually every
school system in the country,
although it is particularly
serious in large urban areas
where conditions are generally
considered harder than In
the suburbs.
He suggested, however, that
the group concentrate on flnd-
ing ways to cut down on the
rapid teacher turnover here as
we'll as on how to attract quail
fed, career teachers.
During the ensuing discus
sion, several of the civic lead
ers stressed the Importance of
community recognition of the
teachers and pride in the job
they are doing. They we're also
interested in the school system S
