Also prominent about town Ten hundred and forty-fou- r Utah teachers left their classrooms during the spring and summer of 1960, according to a study released today by Allan M. West, executive secretary of the Utah Education Association. This study entitled Why They Teach and Quit, was made under the direction of Dr. Jefferson N. Eastmond, UEA director of lesearch. The loss of 1,044 teachers constitute 12 per cent of the entire teaching force and means, says the study, that Utah must replace the equivalent of an entire new staff of teachers every eight years. This ratio f teacher turnover for Utah is excessively high in comparison with teacher turn over in other states, Dr. Eastmond said. On a national basis, approximately 8.7 per cent of the teaching staff leave their jobs in the states where they It are currently employed. may be seen that Utahs loss of 12 per cent of its teaching force in 1960 is nearly 50 per cent greater than the teacher turnover on the national, level. The reasons why Utah teachers left their posts, to gether with the number leaving in parentheses, are: to assume home responsibilities (428); to teach in another state (173); to retire (126); to enter some other business or profession (117); to go to school n (50); to teach in a higher (32(; to teach in nonpublic schools (19); and other reasons (99). Fewer than hlf as many teachers retired as left to teach in another state or to enter another business or profession. The typical teacher who left received an annual salary increase of $1,312 above his Utah teaching salary, according to the study. Those who left to teach in other states received a typical to organized at stake meetings one-war- Home-mad- poin-settia- s, cub-maste- r, r, inst:-tutio- rd to one-ye- e. for the evening session, special welfare meeting will be held Saturday evening at 5:30 for the stake welfare committee bishops and ward welfare clerks.
