we consider tha main factors causing this shortage. First, more f'llll(II'PfI are being born, while the source of teacher enlistment is low. This is due. in part, to the low hirthrate during the depres- sltln years. and the accelerated hirthrate during and following \\orld War II. Rl~1(‘Rl'|TING .

In 'l)P frantic search for bright . I enter ticztls the leaders of business and industry are going into our high schools recruiting top students. offering them attractive salaries, a short wor week. and chances for advancement, thus depleting the ntimber of top-rate students who are potential teacher calibre.

Third. teaching today is con- sidered by the high school stud- ent as a jnh that pays a low sal- ary, a profession without prestige one filled with problems of dis- cipline, and one that has little or no chance for advancement.

Having set down the reasons which are generally accepted as

wiiillg

ones basic in contributing to tea-'

cher shortage, let us try to ev auluate them.

Number . There are more children in school today then there are teachers to cope wit

reasons! tat teachers are over- worked and are left with a feel-
