Show Page Twelve THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD November 1, v. Utah Foundation dispells myih of schooS teachers leaving Utah out that Utah recruits a sub-stantial number of teachers from other states each year. Last year, for example, a total of . 266 persons who taught the previous year in some other state accepted teaching po-sitions in Utah. Surprisingly enough, 257" of these te teachers came from Cal-ifornia a state ranking near the top in teacher salary lev-els. Utah probably could obtain even more teachers from other states, the study continues, were it not for a school health education requirement which prevents some teachers from securing certification and em-ployment in Utah, This pro-vision was amended in 1955 by the Utah Legislature so that the State Board of Edu-cation now may prescribe the health education requirement needed for certification. The Foundation therefore points out Contrary to a commonly held but mistaken impression, Utah is not losing a large porportion of its teachers to other states. This point, was brought out in an analysis prepared by Utah Foundation, the private gov-ernmental research organiza-tion, of the annual teacher personnel report of the Utah Slate Department of Public Instruction. The Foundation study shows that 732 persons, or approxi-mately 70 per cent of the graduates from Utah teacher-trainin- g institutions who tau-ght anywhere last year, ac-cepted teaching positions in Utah. This percentage (70 per cent) is identical with the proportion of the teacher-trai- n ing graduates who were resi-dents in Utah. From this, the Foundation concludes "it would appear that the teacher grad-uates from Utah institutions lost' to other states were mainly residents of those states to begin with." Approximately a third of the teacher graduates for one rea-son or another do not enter the teaching profession im-mediately after graduation. Ac-cording to the study, many of these are girls who marry and assume homemaking dut-ies; while others are students who wish to continue their formal studies. About 6 per cent are individuals who ob-tain nonteachable positions. Foundation analysts point that if the health education requirement is posing a major obstacle in the recruitment of te teachers it could be modified by action of the State Board of Education." The Foundation report ob-serves that data giving the reason why teachers left their positions were not published by the State School Office this year. Information for the previous year, however, indi-cates that family and personal reasons are the major factors in determining where a teach-er will teach and particularly in the determination of teach-er movement from state to state. Another important source of teachers for Utah schools, ac-cording to the Foundation re-port, is former teacher and fofrmer graduates of teacher-trainin- g institutions who re-turn to teaching. In the 1961-6- 2 school year, 422 teachers who had taught or had graduated at some earlier time accepted teaching posts in Utah. Better ' teachers Although Utah recruited 1,420 new teachers for its public schools last year, No new teacher employed last year had less than three years of college with 96 having four or more years. Still another myth dispelled by the Utah Foundation re-search study pertains to the quality of Utah teachers. Ac-cording to the report, "the level of academic training Utah teachers has im-proved steadily during recent years." In 1961-6- 2 fewer than 2 of all Utah teachers did not have a bachelor's degree. By Contrast, nearly 16 of Utah teachers in 1952-5- 3 were teaching without a college de-gree. Every man of courage is a man of his word. Pierre Corneille S.S.

Ameri-can Challenger smashed the speed record for cargoships by dashing across the North At-lantic from Bishop's Rock, Land's End, England, to Am-brose Lightship off New York Harbor in the remarkable time of four days, 23 hours and 48 minutes. The record-breakin- g achieve-ment of the sleek, 13,100-to- n cargoliner on the homeward run of her maiden voyage between New York, Le Havre and London duplicates her out-standing performance on her outbound crossing when she covered 2,853 nautical miles to Europe in the amazing time of four days, 20 hours and 50 minutes. For the round trip, the American Challenger averaged 24.11 knots. The S. S. American Chal-lenger and four of her sister-ship- s will operate in a super-expres- s, service to Le Havre and London, sailing from New York every Friday, from Lon-don every Friday and Le Havre every Saturday. The new cargo liners can span the North At-lantic in two to three days less time than is required by the average modern freighter on this run. and give yourself time to ad-just to the work.

Work and moderate exercise are good for almost everyone, including people" with heart disease. But it is important not to overload your equip-ment. This applies to the farm-er as well as farm machinery, according to the Utah Heart Association. Your physical capacities de-pends on many things age, health and body build, for ex-ample. Your capacity to work is also affected by such fac-tors as exercise, weather and your state of mind. In the summer, you are more likely to overload your heart; the chores you may do easily in cooler weather put more stress on your heart when the temperature goes up. This is because the heart must supply more blood to the skin to cool the body while it is also supplying blood to the work-ing muscles. The following pointers work-ed out by research scientists to help the farmer with heart disease can wisely be applied to your own outdoor work, whether or not you have heart trouble. Whenever you can, stay in the shade; avoid the direct summer sun. A sun shade on the tractor will help reduce the stress. Start on a new job slowly UPGRABIHwlAinTA!?
