huge system of labor camps to absorb
the unemployed; high schools and col-
leges closed to millions of young people.
Our hope lies in the traditional American
ideal of increasing and improving public
education. Now especially, therefore, the
ways in which the factors in employment
improve or injure education should be
known to all school and college trustees,
to all educational administrators and
teachers. Assuredly, as concerns the
factor of supply and demand, it is im-
portant for our country that the demand
for greatly improved education increase
and that the supply of better qualified
teachers and administrators be raised to
meet that demand.

[2] EDUCATION AND PREPARATION

Candidates for teaching and adminis-
trative posts should meet increasingly
higher standards of education and pro-
fessional preparation. For public schools
these are determined by certification re-
quirements of various states and often
by additional local requirements. Candi-
dates for public school positions should
know whether they are eligible for teach-
ing certificates. Information on this point
