8,000 Teaching Positions Open

These teachers have had two or more years of college and now are going to college in the summer to complete their requirements for a degree in education.
"There are a number of teachers who are not fully qualified and are holding provisional teaching positions." Dean Anderson said.
Teacher openings reported to the University Teacher Placement Bureau are expected to be over the 8,000 mark for the first time in history, H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education and director of the bureau, said today.
Need For More Kansas Teachers
"Kansas has weathered the teacher shortage to date, but at what loss to the student is unknown," was the reply of Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education, when asked about the teacher shortage in Kansas.
"Low salaries are another reason for the teacher shortage, along with the fact that teachers are no longer held in as high esteem as they were 20 years ago," he said.
According to the University's Teacher Placement Bureau, there is a critical shortage of teachers in the fields of English, home economics, girls physical education, and grade school music.
"Iincreasing population in our cities and larger towns has put a heavy strain on their school systems." Dean Anderson said. "The population shift is causing problems, especially for industrial cities like Kansas City and Wichita."
"The big problem facing rural communities is paying large enough salaries to keep their teachers from going to the cities. Population is static in most of these rural areas," he said.
"Kansas will need 33,000 teachers in 20 years, compared with the present number of 21,000," Dean Anderson said. "At the present, # of the teachers in Kansas come from other states; however, many Kansas-educated teachers leave this state to teach elsewhere."
Weather
Considerable cloudiness and continued cold today through Tuesday. Chance ligst snow extreme northwest tennight and Tuesday. High today 15 to 25 east and south-central to 35 extreme northwest. Low tonight 5 to 15.
Teacher openings reported to the University Teacher Placement Bureau are expected to be over the 8,000 mark for the first time in history, H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education and director of the bureau, said today.
Four hundred vacancies were reported Friday, 350 of them in Wichita. Prof. Chandler said vacancies will be reported in greater numbers in March and April.
The School of Education expects to graduate 200 seniors this spring.
Prof. Chandler said that last year the school received letters asking for teachers for 7,330 positions —40 of them in colleges.
"I was looking over my notes recently and noticed that in 1940 the school received 900 vacancy reports," he said. "At that time, it was considered a record high number."
Since World War II, public schools have been swamped with even greater enrollments, and the need for teachers has increased equally, Prof. Chandler said.
More Registering
"The number of teachers registering in teachers colleges is increasing but not at a rate sufficient to take care of the need. It has improved somewhat but not enough," he said.
"In the nation," Prof. Chandler estimated, "about 25 per cent of the teachers teaching on the elementary level are teaching with less than degree preparation. This is occasioned by the teacher shortage.
Not only does the bureau get any School of Education graduate in touch with jobs, but it also finds jobs for graduates now teaching, but who want different locations.
"In Kansas, 28.6 per cent of the teachers in elementary schools are teaching on less than degree preparation. Kansas is about average with the rest of the nation in this respect," he said.
Teacher requests come from as far away as California, Santa Ana sent a request for an unlimited number of teachers this year. He said California is turning out only 50 per cent of the teachers the state needs.
The state is turning out more teachers than ever before, but the population has risen at a greater percentage—50 per cent in 12 years and all schools remain understaffed.
It's Hard To Get New Ideas On Wilt
One difficulty, which continually faces Life magazine photographers is finding fresh approaches to expressing time-worn subjects.
This is what Life photographer George Silk said in an interview. He and Jack McDermott, a Life reporter, were in Lawrence last week to do a story about Wilt Chamberlain and the KU basketball team.
"Stories are becoming more and more difficult to do as the field of journalism and photojournalism becomes older. This is especially true in the sports world. We have pretty well saturated the known techniques of covering sports and must develop new and different camera techniques.
"I find it more and more difficult to cover a sports story in a new and different way." Mr. Silk said.
Sports Most Difficult
Mr. Silk said that sports events are the most difficult to photograph because getting interesting angles on sporting events is difficult. He said Life tries to make the pictures as
natural as possible and not use posed pictures.

go on every Life assignment, Mr. teresting stories he covered recently McDermott said. The newsman tries to help the photographer by being an administrative assistant, he said.
Human Element
"The reporter always looks for the human element in finding pictures for the story. The reporter assists the photographer, gives him some directions and copes with the vast amount of administrative detail like keeping detailed captions for pictures and accumulating as much research as possible on the subject." Mr. McDermott said.
Mr. McDermott is strictly a sports reporter for Life. Recently he covered the Robinson-Fuller middleweight championship fight, the World Series, the Kentucky Derby and the U.S. Open Golf Tournament.
Mr. McDermott graduated from Columbia University with a major in English in 1954 and went right to work for Life. He has been with their sports department since.
