enough to fill this vacuum.
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.
