Of the two million-od- d jobs churned up by our booming economy last year, the biggest group was in education, says Lester Velie in a Readers Digest article, New Careers in Americas Classrooms. Yesterday the teacher was the respectable but shabby orphan of our society. Today hes the man of the hour. Growing population accounts for part of the increased need for teachers, hut it is by no means the whole story. New kinds of teaching are spring up all across the i country. One example is the early childhood teacher, a specialist trained to work with preschool children to remedy deficiencies bred in the childs home. Another kind of specialist is the guidance counselor, who tests students aptitudes and steers them toward proper training and careers. Still another is the vocational teacher who can train students in technical skills. The new emphasis on teaching has sharply boosted the prestige and glamour of the profession. It also has helped raise teacher salaries to levels comparable to that of industry. New York Citys public schools start a qualified teacher at $5300 for a ten month year. With a masters degree, a teacher starts at $5700. An estimated 248,000 new elementary and high school teachers were needed in the fall of 1964, the articles notes, adding that more than 50,000 new instructors are needed each year in the colleges. To encourage young men and women to enter the profession, an unprecedented number of scholarships, fellowships and loan opportunities are available. For example, future teachers can borrow up to $1,000 per year while training, then repay only half during his first five years of teaching. Some universities will waive the graduate school fees for future professors. Others have fellowship programs that cover tuition and living ex- Ko-nis- re-nam- hi, ed o, 10-we- ek In Winter Months Like the inhabitants of their namesake Beehive, Utah Air National Guardsmen are busy twelve months of the year, but this year theyll be even busier.
