Teacher Demand Grows Bureau Chief Says
The United States faces a critical situation in education as the demand for high school and college teachers becomes greater, H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education and head of the teacher appointment bureau, said in an interview.
"This shortage is evident here at the University where students seem to be choosing elementary over high school education. Since the salary level has been equalized, the need for teachers in the lower grades has become stabilized, while in high schools and colleges it is greatly increased," he said.
Steady Rise In School Size
Steady Rise in School Size Because of younger marriages and a relatively good economy we can expect a steady rise in our school-age population for the next decade at least, Prof. Chandler said.
"The University will have about 675 candidates registered for teaching positions this year. Approximately a third of these will be spring graduates; the rest will be previous students who have been teaching" he said.
Wide Demand
"We already have calls for teachers from Pacific, southern, and Great Lakes states. There will probably be openings for 500 English teachers and more than 150 education teachers," Prof. Chandler said.
"The keynote to the problem is to persuade people to spend on the education of their children that which they now spend on other things.
"The stumbling block to government aid is that Congress is not likely to appropriate money without placing restrictions on how it can be spent," he said. "The educators are against these restrictions."

British General To Talk Friday
A British general, Sir Ronald Adam, president of the British Council, will speak on "Reorganization of the Training of Teachers in Britain" at 4 p.m. Friday in Bailey Hall Auditorium.
Sir Ronald's lecture is sponsored by the School of Education. He will also be a consultant to graduate classes in Modern Teaching Procedures II and Development of Teaching Theory.
The British Council is responsible for British cultural relations in most countries of the world except the United States. It is similar to the United States' International Institute of Education. The Institute has brought Sir Ronald to this country for a two-month lecture tour.
Before joining the British Council, Sir Ronald was adjutant-general of the British army. He is accredited with modernizing the personnel program of that force.
Sir Ronald also is president of the National Institute of Adult Education; chairman of the Council of the Institute of Education of London University; past chairman of the National Institute of Industrial Psychology, and past president of the Library Association. He was chairman of the executive board of UNESCO from 1952 to 1954.
