The v ey turnover in teachers is much too high; in some States a fourth of the teachers are new to their jobs. Ex- penditures for the nation’s schools are up 10 per cen over a year ago, but here again we must ask ourselves how much of this gain is net in an inflationary period. One problem stands out as demanding instant, serious attention. With every State except New Mexico reporting that it cannot recruit enough elementary school teachers now, something must be done quickly to prepare for the imminent rise in school population because of the increase in birth rate. The United States Office of Education estimates that within six years the school population will increase by 4,000,000. The accompanying need of more classrooms is also | obvious.
