leges are beginning to draw
more and more from the ranks
of retired military personnel to
fill their own shortages OF
teachers and administrators.
The result is a happy marri-
age OF resource and need, serv-
ing education and conserving
lnanpoWer at a time when there
simply are not enough teachers
TO 60 around
The teacher shortage may get
worse before it gets better.
Therefore. il is al the more i'm
poftant that every available
source OF instructors be used to
the maximum. Our schools need
thousands of additional teachers
ard administrators today, and
the demand is growing at all
levels = elementary. secondary,
and higher.
AT the same time. all of the
armed services each year are
releasing thousands of colnpe-
tent officers and men, who have
ahead of them many years of
useful service, A recent Depart
ment OF Defense survey shows
that the median age of retire
ment will be about Is years for
nearly 25,Don officers who have
expressed an interest in making
teaching post-militaiy career.
Another encouraging factor is
the fact tina. almost tWo-thirds
OF these officers have at least a
bachelors degree. with 20 per
cent of the total having still
higher degrees. And almost four
per cent of enlisted men retir-
ing from the Army every year
have college degrees. These en-
listed men form an additional.
though smaller, source of teach
erS.
However the transition from
the military to the academic
world poses difficulties. despite
the fact that forces are at work |
in both areas to smooth away
some OF the bumps. The Depart
ment OF Defense is advising re-
hrement-ieady personnel to seri- |
ously consider teaching as a
second career. and to begin pre-
pairing for such work before
leaving service.
This means digging back into

Red China Hungry

IT may or may not be news that Chinese
people are hungry under the Red
rule. The Chinese have been hungry as
far back AS we can remember At the
turn of the century we recall that the
"ROsebuds," a Methodist children's mis-
were filling mite boxes to send food to
the starving Chinese. So to us it is not
big news that wire service has report
ed that group of U. S. agricultural ex-
perts find China's millions face another
year of hunger. The report indicated,
however, a real food crisis.
1t is believed that this food shortage
could affect the economic stability of
the Picking regime. The dangerously low
level Of food supplies on the China
mainland, follows three successive years
of poor harvests. These shortages could
give the Chinese an enormous health
problem and very definitely affect their
ability to work
This report is based on several years
close study of economic information
filtering out of the Chinese mainland.
1t should be remembered that we have
had some very poor reporting on con-
ditions in China.
Few Americans or other free nations
people are able to go into China for ac-
curate appraisal of what is happening
there. For instance, there are wide
spread reports Of the Red Chinese COM
munes which billet large groups of peo-
pie together It took some time before
