Trailblazer's Fifth Issue Emerson Sees BadSIiortiig acliers A teacher shortage more serious than in 1943 was portended today in a statement by D. A. Emerson of the ? state educational depart ment. "Profiting by lasi year's ex perience, we are losing no time in urging school district officials to complete their teaching staffs for the 1944-45 . school , year," Emerson said. He Indicated it might be necessary to consolidate additional small schoolj districts. junerson said it required ap proximately; 8000 teachers to fill all teaching positions in thus pub- uc -scnoois under present condi tions.: Last year, 900 H emergency teaching certificates were issued, mostly ,: to retired teachers who reentered the classrooms and those from outside the! state. Thi number has increased to 1000. Last year at this tune there were more than 100 teaching va cancies in Oregon schools. Emerson said most of the teach ers who have left schools during the past two years have entered military service or accepted high er salaried jobs. ' Laa Alma I.
