Show NKEI) MOKE UTAH TEACHERS ! The State of Utah does not pro-' duce but half enough teachers, according ac-cording to Dr. E. G. Gowans, state superintendent of schools. The State; should contribute its share of teachers teach-ers to the schools of the country, for now we have to depend upon the other oth-er states to furnish teachers for our schools and we do not send an equal quota to them. We are not doing our share in this work yet we have excellent facilities at our State Normal Nor-mal school at the University of Utah to produce leaders in the teaching profession. Because of the present war there will be a great need for teachers in the near future. Many teachers have enlisted in military service and the schools will be handicapped. The young men and women of the State should be far-sighted enough to see this need and should train to meet it. In speaking of the advantages of taking the educational work at the State University, Dr. Gowans said, "Those people intending to be teachers teach-ers should attend the University of Utah. It is the head of our educational educa-tional system and offers the work as outlined by the State board of education. edu-cation. Upon completion of a course one does not have to take any State teacher's examination but is entitled to a certificate as he has more than met the requirements for a good teacher." The University has introduced several sev-eral new courses in the school of e'J ucation this year, such as rural education, edu-cation, junior high school work, and has outlined the work in a clearer manner, placing more emphasis on the teaching major subject as well as all of the required work that has Sl-ways Sl-ways been presented. |
