Dislike for administrative or
supervisory practices and poor
leadership also rank high as
reasons for dissatisfaction with
employment in the county's
school system, they learned.
Aside from reasons related
to teachers home and family
situations which account for
two-thirds of the examinations
these are the major causes
of teacher Examinations, accord
ing to a report on turnover sub
mitted to the board by School
Supt. c. Taylor Whittier.
The report was based on
sanlpling of teachers who left
county schools during the
196O-61 school year and re-
Elected a IS per cent return

more than 43O teachers ter
minated for causes other than
retirement, death or leave In
that period.
Compared with a similar
study of likes and dislikes of
the school system conducted
among active teachers last year,
the least attractive aspects of
the county's school system in
the eyes of teachers remained
unchallenged.
In the earlier study, excessive
organization and overload, the
systems educational philoso-
ply and practices" and the
abundance of non-teaching du-
ties were the three chief targets
of criticism from teachers who
chose to remain in the school
system.
Both terminated and active
teachers agree, by substantial
margin, that excessive organi-
zation is the least attractive
feature of the school system"
the report said.
Both the number Of teach.
ers leaving and the turnover
rate have climbed steadily in
recent years, the Board was
told.
Within the past three years,
it showed, 50 per cent of the
teachers who left had taught in
the county for three years or
less, and almost so per cent
quit after q single year.
In 196O-61, better than one in
four teachers hired left by the
end of the year, and current
losses are stabilized at about 25
per cent of each newly-recruit-
ed group of teachers after the
first year, and at about 40 per
cent during the first two years.
Under questioning by board
members, Assistant Personnel
Director Rufus c. Browning
disclosed that his staff is send
ing out about 40 teacher Job APP
plications a day to keep up with
both examinations and new per-
sonnet needs. Since October. he
said, more than 1000 applica.
tons have been mailed.
The School Board took the
report under advisement.

DR.. Landon discussed the

He said the choosing of a
good college was of utmost
Importance to the prospec-

stressed that a good founda-
ton in math and the science
is essential.
DR.. Landon told the class
that a sound comprehension
of the English language is
necessary for the trainee in
in order to communicate his
ideas to others. The academic
record of each student, along
with his extra-curricular ac-
tivities is a factor of great
Importance. The engineer
must be able to accept an as

even if the going gets rough.
The dean said that the
work of the engineer is the

HI-TIMES

On occasion the course a
student elects to take in
school arouses our interest.
An example of this is
Peggy Meehan and the class
she is taking at Bishop
FIaget High School.
Peggy is a second year
drafting student there and
not surprisingly is the
only girl in the class. She is
interested in art and draft
ing to which she feels it is
closely allied. Her primary
interest lies in architectural
and pictorial drawing.
Peggy finds that the preci-
sion required in her draw
ings is the most difficult
part of the course for her.
The easiest part is the visual
ization of the view.
HER FUTURE plans in
clude entering Ohio State in
the fall of 1868. She plans to
study drafting for two years,
