Raymond R. the following CRISIS REACHED IN EDUCATION i By JACK STINNETT AP Features Service Writer | WASHINGTON, Noy. 30.—/ With the back-to-school move- ment in full swing, U. S. Office of Education officials are up to their | Pedagogic chins in a_ teacher shortage situation that threatens} to outstrip the crisis of 1917-18. In those years, 125,000 inex- perienced teachers were rushed into the breach, but the ranks still were 50,000 short of requirements. | Dr. Benjamin W. Frazier, USOE| specialist in teacher training, says | that the educational crisis ahead| is even worse than that. In May, 1941, the shortage of vocational agriculture teachers was already developing. Now all 48 states are reporting serious shortages in that branch of in-| struction. Even before faculties! checked in for the present fall} term, 28 states had _ reported shortages in teachers of industrial arts and trades. The most sei.ous situation apparently exists in high school special and vocational sub- jects and in rural elementary schools. ! Florida reports that elemen- tary schools in 13 counties, high schools in 19, will be short of teachers before January. Ken- tucky says approximately 4,000| teachers, or 20 per cent, will not return this winter. South Caro- lina has lost more than 50 per cent of its vocational agriculture | teachers. Those are just samples of what | is going on. They do not, how-! ever, indicate the dilemma faced | by many war industry communi- ties that have mushroomed with- |! out even adequate school build- | ing facilities, much less a teach- er reserve. The causes, of course, are the heavy demands of the armed forces and the heavy drawing power of bigger salaries in war industries. The Office of Education wasn’t caught napping when the states began to scream for help. The Office's wartime commission committee on teacher supply .and demand had been,, studying the situation for a Tong. time,-They.| can’t pull qualified teachers out | of thin air, butftwey arésmaking | a lot of suggestidns that’ help. In the first place, they say, get salaries up to where they compete with those in the war industries. In the second place, give those teachers retired because of mar- riage a break. Other suggestions already put | into practice in many forward- looking states are: recall retired instructors still mentally and physicaly competent; drop the bars against “out-of-state” teach- ers; issue emergency certificates “good for the duration” (29 states already have done this); and of- fer refresher courses for former teachers who are willing to help the war effort. by returning to their desks: '> y HELMETS NON-MAGNETIC "WASHINGTON—U.

Lord said today that his records show that from August 20 to November 30, 1942. he sold almost as many automobile drivers‘ licenses for the 1942- ‘43 period ashe sold in 12 months for the 1941-’42 Period. During all of the latter period, Judge Lord added, the number of licenses sold to- taled 5.478, whereas the li- censes issued since August 20 of this year total 5,275, a dif- ference in number of only 203. That number, Judge Lord declared, most likely will be made up before the end of the year. The fact is. he said, dur- ing yesterday and up to noon today about 75 more licenses are in process of being is- sued. The licenses issued since August 20 to November 30 are classified as follows: junior operator, 77; regular operator, 4,187 and chauufeus, 1,011, to- taling 5.275. The chauufeurs’ licenses include those issued to drivers of taxis, trucks, vans and similar vehicles, and the junior licenses to drivers un- der 18 years of age. | CASE ON AUTO TAG.

He did not indicate where those areas are situated. —————— MEDITERRANEAN MIDWAY AP Features Strategie: islands in the Medi- teranean ure‘the Balearics, off Spain’s east coast, north of Al- geria in the middle of a line of potential battle between Algiers and Toulon.

Every child contributed her share and is the proud possessor of her badge; each class records the names of the donors on a membership cer- | tificate which the Red Cross Headquarters sent.
