JANUARY 15, 1918. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Shortage of Teachers Predicted by Educators Unless War Ends Soon Math. and Science Depts. Suffer Most—Women Called Upon More Than Ever Unless it over "over there" and the boys in khaki come back home before the schools open next fall, there is going to be a serious shortage in men teachers for the high schools next year. Prof. W. H. Johnson, of the School of Education, predicts there will be a shortage of between four and five hundred. Based on the increased shortage of the past two months, Professor Johnson said this was a conservative estimate. The total number of vacancies it high schools of the state during November and December was eighthree. Out of that number fifty-five were caused by men, forty-nine being due to the draft. When the next draft comes February 15, there will be many more vacancies. The number of vacancies during November and December in the department of mathematics and science was thirty-nine; vocational training, sixteen; the languages, fourteen; and the others scattered, indicating that the shortage next year will be in these departments. This means, Professor Johnson said, that women will be called upon to teach these departments to a far greater extent than ever before. There are about 9,050 men teachers in the high schools of the state. The supply usually about equals the demand.
