Classrooms Stay Crowded As Teachers Remain Scarce
Wanted: Teachers, no experience necessary, to fill the critical shortage of instructors.
"The greatest opportunities in the history of teaching are available now," H. E. Chandler, head of the teachers appointment bureau, said recently. "The shortage of teachers will last about two more years before the supply can meet the demand." $ \textcircled{4} $
Higher pay for women may be earned in music supervision and physical education. A music supervision job calls for extra work such as staging concerts and operetts and usually receives about $100 more annually. Physical education instructors are in great demand now and women are going into that field, according to Professor Chandler.
A beginning woman educator can now start at a salary of about $2,400. Four years ago she would have received about $1,300, professor Chandler commented. A man, however, will earn $400 more a year than a woman.
"The highest paying fields for men are band directing and coaching." A good band director or coach may start any where from $3,000 to $10,-000 a year and often write his own price ticket."
Other subjects that are lacking instructors are commerce, English, and home economics. Locally there is a shortage of mathematics instructors but in other areas of Kansas there are enough.
The School of Education is working to produce the teachers demanded. During the war years enrollment dropped to almost nothing, but this spring 50 graduates will leave the school prepared to teach. In a few years the output will be greater, but by then the 50 per cent increase in students is expected. The demand and supply will be nearly equal by then, Professor Chandler predicted.
Finding and placing teachers in positions, usually in high schools, is the job of the appointment bureau. Every state of the United States has been covered and some teachers have been sent to Hawaii and Alaska.
"We have the present shortage because there has been a 40 per cent increase in population since the war and because women quit the profession to get married," he said.
Kansas pays well in comparison to the other states. Salaries are higher on the coasts, but the living costs are too, Professor Chandler stated. Lower living costs in the Mid-west allow the teachers to save more money.
"Teachers now can obtain an instructor's job in a city school without having any previous experience. That was not possible a few years ago," he said.
Jayhawkers Get Together Everywhere; Even On Trains In Northern Japan
Jayhawkers will meet in almost any part of the world, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association, decided after receiving a letter recently
Mrs. John Bailey Gage, who attended the University from 1913 to 1915, wrote Mr. Ellsworth from her home in Kansas City, Mo., quoting a letter from her son, Lt. John Cutter Gage, with the army in Japan. Lt
"John is stationed in Sendai." Mrs. Gage wrote, "a town about 150 miles north of Tokyo. It was raided heavily once on June 14, 1945, when it was 90 per cent burned.
Gage also attended the University before he was graduated from West Point.
"There is one main street in a circle about tight blocks in radius. The central area enclosed by this street was burned flat. All other streets are so narrow it is difficult for two jeeps to pass each other on them."
Mrs. Gage than quoted from her son's letter, "I caught a train to Utsnamiy, Tochigi prefecture. On the train I noticed two ladies. I heard them say something about the University of Kansas so I introduced myself.
"Both were graduates of the University about 1904 or 1905. One was a Doctor Hansen. I am not sure of the other's name. They came to Japan together in 1907 and have been here ever since except for the war years, teaching at the Miyagi Women's college here in Sendai."

Future Newspaper Will Have Magazine Style Make-Up
"The new look is on its way into tomorrow's newspaper as well as in fashion," Lee S. Cole, instructor in journalism, predicted in an interview held today.
"The future newspaper will follow more of a magazine style of makeup, the use of more color printing and the use of color as well as black and white photography," he said.
"I think facsimile is definitely the coming thing," Mr. Cole said. "There is a great need for radio transmission of newspapers in the United States. It will mean a great timesaver in getting the news into the hands of the reading public.
There is a definite place for this type of paper, combined with offset printing. This will tend to entirely eliminate the press and composing rooms from the newspaper scene as well as many circulation worries."
Mr. Cole advised that the general size of the paper will be reduced to a tabloid siz of 4 or 5 columns, with the front page consisting of headlines and an index where the items of interest may be found.
"However, the American people must not look for this new paper too soon," he warned. "Due to the cost of new equipment, and the millions of dollars tied-up in old presses and equipment, the change will be gradual with small new papers taking the lead."
Mr. Cole came to the University in 1945. He is advertising and business faculty advisor for the University Daily Kansan. Prior to this time, he was publisher of two weekly newspapers in Indiana.
"You know, it's, quite a coincidence," he said, "exactly 21 years from the day that I took possession of my newspapers, I accepted a job
at K.U. I thought 21 years was long enough."
