Total public school enrollment in the United States is now ap- _ proximately 29,000,000. . The NEA report says the new first-grade crop is a record one, as the result of a bumper crop of babies in| 1947. Many of these babies are the children of service men who returned home in 1946, The NEA says the rapidly enlarging number of| students are in need of 150,000 more teachers and ap-| proximately $5,000,000,000 wofth of new equipment. The report shows that colleges are increasing their pace of teacher-training, although the rate is still not fast enough, While there are 88,000 more teachers on the job this year and expenditures are well up over last year, about 682,000 pupils must still attend double-sessions or other make-shift school arrangements. As we have pointed out before in this newspaper, the people of this community have a responsibility to provide the children of the area with the finest educa- tion obtainable. This is the best investment local citizens can thake toward the future of their eommunity. Of all investments one can make, better schools and the financ- ing of them bring more 74 weer dividends than any other type.
