THE EDITOR: Idaho has twice now been on he brink of IEANEA sane ;ions and has the dubious hon or of a sanction alert today, This is not a meritorious achievement and one that nei thcr the professional educator nor the well informed lay citiTO zen desires or relishes. The question becomes pertinent: What is wrong with Idaho's education program? Let's examine some answers.

These unmet needs Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Parry, only can be alleviated by inwho live in Sugarhouse. They creased support of the schools. 3 culum projects is of great significance to the schools of this state. But funds must be available in the school budgets to do these kinds of things. Teachers are specialized. They have a skill to offer. They should have time to teach. This requires clerical help, teacher aides, and playground supervisors. The schools need personnel for specialized functions and supportive services. Much still needs to be done to meet desirable standards in this respect. The ratio in our secondary schools is only 1 - 454 and to reach desirable standards, Idaho needs 400 additional persons. The situation is much worse at the elementary school level where our ratio of guidance personnel to students is nearly one to 20,000 instead of the recommended one to 500. The schools need librarians to teach the use of the improved libraries which have resulted from federal funds. Statistics regarding school g theranurses, pists, school psychologists, and social workers is equally deplorable. Classes for the handicapped are missing in many of the small school districts. Most programs are seriously inadequate for secondary pupils in the large and small districts, alike of the state. And the lack of funds for special education threatens all programs in the 70 or more school districts currently on the floor for state school support Idaho plods along with some bright spots in the education of the stuof the top dent enrollment. But the education of those whose education is terminal at the end of high school is grossly neglected. Little is accomplished in the more expensive areas of vocational education. Apparently, any statewide public school program or preschool education is still And Idaho still re fuses to provide any regula-- i tion of private kindergartens and exploitation continues in this area. The question of wasteful and inefficient school district organization deserves immediate attention. Finally, perhaps the most vital need is an aroused public interest and concern about education and a program of planned improvements for today, tomorrow, and the fupupil-counsel- or were accompanied by Mr. and Teacher certification reMrs. LeRoy Smith of Rich- - quirements need to be inIdaho needs dedimond. creased. cated, career teachers in ev ery classroom, nivery child in the state is entitled to the services of well qualified teachers. These instructors should have a broad general education in many areas of human endeavor so they un derstand the needs and reswhich people ponsibilities have in common. They should be well prepared in their subject field and know how to teach boys and girls. Yet, the U. S. Office of Ed ucation says that in 196647, five per cent of the teachers in the country did not have at r least a Bachelor's But in Idaho, 19 did degree. not the highest percentage of any state in the nation and no other western state exceeded even the national average of five per cent. A recent study by Dean Richard Willey of Idaho State University says that both the number and the percentage of our teachers with 150 or more semester hours of college credit have decreased in recent years. Our better trained teachers apparently are leaving the state. The teacher salary situation in Idaho is fast becoming a disgrace. Salaries are seriously inadequate by any reasonable standards of judgment. How long can the Idaho teacher be expected to subsidize education to this extent? And more important, How long should the public expect him ture. 'o do so? Eastside Teachers Ass'n. The need for workshops, West Side Teachers Ass'n.
