Show THE HELPER PAGE FOUR TEACHER (Utah) JOURNAL THURSDAY, SURPLUSES JULY Teacher shortages which have plagued schools across the nation for almost thirty years have suddenly and dramatically been replaced by teacher surpluses, according to a study prepared by Utah Foun dation, the private research organization. The Foundation analysis was based on a report 4-H'- The change from shortage to surplis has been brought about by a steady increase in the supply of trained teachers and a sharply reduced demand for new teachers. The Foundation points out that the teacher surplus in Utah probably will continue to grow in the year? immediately ahead.

Haven't you guys ever heard of hard cash?" has resulted from two main factors: (1) teachers needed to fill vacancies when teachers leave the system and (2) teachers needed to fill new positions created to meet enrollment growth andor reduced class size. In the past both of these fac tors have been important elements in the demand for new teachers. At one time, the total number of teaching positions in the state was rising by approximately 600 per year. Last year, however, there were actually 70 fewer teaching pos itions in the state than there were he year before As a result, the only employment opportunities for new teachers1 last year were for those who replaced teachers who left the system. Coupled with the sharply reduced demand; for new teachers has- been an increased supply of potential teachers. The number .of certificated teachers graduating from Utah corteges has nearly doubled over the past decade. In addition, new teachers in Utah are recruited from among (11 former teachers who wish to return to teaching, (2) teachers who move to Utah from other states, and (3) graduates of colleges located outsiide UHtah. Foundation analysts note that a total of 3,160 certificated teachers were graduated from Utah colleges. Of these, 1.041, or 33 were able tO' secure teaching positions in Utah. In the early and middle 1960's, more than 50 of the received teaching position' in Utah.

It is clear from Fortune's analysis that the impact would be devastating, A guaranteed annual wage plan would cause workers employed at the wage to give up their 'jobs and live on welfare. Such legislation, the article made clear, would undermine incentives for working. Mills-Nixo- al min-iimu- m n Proponents of the plan may say that the solution is to increase the minimum wage. Experience shows, however, that minimum wage hikes eliminate jobs. A sma'l motel or light manufacturing plant in a rural county can't pass on without losing customers.

But the federal government,' in recent years, has done its best to knock down those ladders and provide an escalator in the form of subsidized idleness.

The food stamp recip ients even complain that theyi have to stand in line for the ' handouts. Public officials, mind ful of the voting power of the dependent population, hasten to provide quicker service and even Vans to deliver the food stamros to outlying areas. The working, taxpaying citizen does not get that kind of service from officeholders. The official solicitude is lavished on the indolent. Do the American people want more of the same?

Altogether, a total of 1,699 new teachers were employed by Utah school boards in 1970-7This total is well below the number of new teachers employed in Utah during the four previous school years. Another fact shown by the study was that at least 8.2 of the 1970 teacher graduates from Utah colleges had been unable to find a teaching position as of November, 1970. This is by far the highest proportion of unemployed teachers in the d War II era. Actually, the percentage may be considerably high er than the figure reported since no information war, obtained from nearly 15 of the 1970 teacher graduates. The Foundation report suggests that high school counselors and college advisors might well apprise young people of the limited employment prospects for teachers in the years immediately ahead before cost ly training in this area is encouraged for large numbers of students.

If the Senate approves the Family Assistance plan initially proposed by the Nixon administration and modified by the House Ways and Means Committee, the country will be burdened with a vastly .augmented welfare proletariat. Under the legislation drafted by Rep. Wilbus Mils, chairman of Ways and Means, the nation's welfare population will at least double. Perhaps 25 million will receive a guaranteed annual wage at the expense of employed citizens and taxpayersA publicity juggernaut has cleared the wav for H.R. 1. the proposals.
