Fred O. Wygal
Continued From Page y

Wygal's state department work
is concerned with devising and
improving courses, the quality OF
cortent and introducing new ma
terlals and methods in the col
lege and graduate preparation of
teachers. He works with instItu-
tons all over the state.
On the question Of Virginia 5
teacher supply, he points out
that the Old Dominion now must
get half of its annual new supply
from out Of the state. The chief
question We must resolve is
whether we can depend on this
source. What will happen if it
is lost to us, he asks?
Virginia must either enlarge
present institutions or build new
ones, particularly if it retains
the traditional system Of having
its teacher-training institutions
ones for women only. These al
ready send 70 per cent of their
graduates into teaching. T E
other state-supported institu-
tons, primarily for men, have
only II per cent of their gradu-
ates going into teaching.
Yet between them they provide
only half of the new teachers
required annually to fill vacan-
cies, offset retirement and pro
vide for the growing population
The institutions simply lnu S
grow. or Virginia must continue
to draw half of her new teach
ers from out of the state. and
watch many of her young people
enter out-of-state institutions
Wygal says.
