Tt fmould be a good year. The teacher shortage crisis of the past two years is somewhat abated but not over. In most states there are enough certified seeonriary.sehool teachers (except in special fields), but a distinct shortage of elementary teachers is widespread, particularly in rural areas. There is, however, a grave shortage in quality teachers to replace the poorley prepared, to relieve heavy loads, and to extend the program. And even more disturbing, there are not enough young people in our teachers colleges to take up these shortages and to replace those who must retire in the next few years'. The great need now is to encourage some of our ablest young people to enter the teaching profession. For if education is a vital concern of a free nation, it nuift be in the hands of thoroly able, well. prepared, emotionally balanced young teachers. Salaries have been raised a great deal in the past two or three years due to the pressure of public opinion. A few states have adopt. d $2100 as a minimum for qualified teachers; many communities tiave adopted this minimum altho not required by state law. This goal should be achieved by every state and community Utho it will not be possible unless federal aid is made available. On the question of federal aid, Senator Taft, speaking at a Republican dinner in Columbus, Ohio, recently said: "Republicans agree that action must be taken to improve health, housing and education Federal assistance in fields of social wolfare is definitely on the list of action in 1948." Probably 6 million additional children over and above prewar enrollments will be entering elementary schools in the next decade. There students. This may be as many as a million more secondary-schowill mean an additional outlay. , Expensive, too, will be the cost of plant replacement and repair long neglected during the war years. Six to eight billion dollars is needed for this purpose in the next decade. People will ihave to decide in many cases' whether to build roads, lor example, or schools. Roads can wait. Children's minds never wait. Yes, good schools cost money. But the load is not too heavy for a nation where 60 million are employed- at a high level of income. Ignorance is far more costly. well-pai- d, ol - Phone New Items to Journal Work Continues "This AND SUPPLY CO.
