There are 500 vacancies on the teaching staffs of the state . empty desks, which cannot be filled. .

And what does this mean in terms of education? , ' 11 means that schools must "doublo up" 'on teachers, that rooms and other facilities will o unused, that teachers will be overworked and that the . in dividual attention necessary to a sound educational process will be lacking. With 2,000 teachers lacking and another large group using "emer gency certificates," this means that the schools arc staffed only 50 to CO per cent with teachers who meet previously set educa- i tional standards. I Th-L- only ray of hope for the j first post-war years that Putnam sees is that of retaining the ad- vantages teachers have gained i recently in the way of a pension and retirement plan, and higher wages. If there is a general lev- elling-off of the nations econ omy, Putnam says Oregon may draw into the teaching profession the high-type of persons.
