BICYCLE IS STOLEN
Mrs. Lucille McCarthy. 215
Riverfront, today told local police
By Erie W. Alien, Jr.
(Umivd 1-rwt bimit cornponcht)
Salem. Ore., April 13 mi Ore
gon, traditionally one of the best
educated arid most literate states
In the union, has suffered great
damage to Its educational lacili-
ties due to the war. And it Is lac
ing a situation which, during the
next few years, may result in a
deplorable condition in its schools.
At present, Oregon Is on top oi
the educational heap. A recent
survey of soldiers in the U. S.
army showed that uregonians
were only eight tenins oi one per
cent 'educationally deficient,"
compared with a national average
many times tnat iigure.
("iiducationaiy ueticlent"
means either totally illiterate, or
possessing ho more than a lourth
grade education. The survey was
made by the U. S. chamber oi
commel'ce.) '
Figures related by Rex Putnam",
9tate superintendent of public in
struction, show that Oregon Is
highest in the nation, and tnat all
west coast States are in the top
brasket with Washington show
ing only 1.2 per cent deficiency
and California 2.8. New York, in
comparison, has a 1.4 per cent
rating.
But this high standing is threat
ened, Putnam says. Because of
present and potential conditions
Oregon may lace one of two al
ternatives: l. to close scnoois;
and 2. To cut teacher require
ments to the point where educa
tional standaras are "critically en
dangered.". What is this danger, and where
is the threat? ,
Oregon has a normal teaching
complement df around 8000. Of
these, at present, more than 25
per ceht, Or one quarter, are teach
ing on war-time "emergency" cer
tificates. A large number bf these
teachers are "sub-standard," and
would be unable to .obtain ordi
nary teaching credentials. (Many,
of course, are doing excellent,
patriotic jobs.)
A total of more than 1500 per
sons now teaching have indicated
that they will not return- next
year. -
There are 500 vacancies on the
teaching staffs of the state
empty aesks which canot be filled.
More than 700 teachers have indi
cated that they want to resign,
thus creating the danger of an
even more serious shortage of
teachers.
Thus we see that there will bo
at least 200 vacancies, probably
more, by the time the next school
year arrives with a teacher sup
ply nowhere near large enough to
nil this vacuum.
And what does this mean in
terms of education?
tt means that schools must
"double up" on teachers, that
rooms and other facilities will go
unused, that teachers will be over
worked and that the individual
attention necessary to a Sound
educational process will be lack
ing. With 2000 teachers lacking and
another large group using "emer
gency certificates," this means
that the schools are staffed only
50 to 60 per cent with teachers
who meet previously set educa
tional standards.
The only ray of hope for the
first post-war years that Putnam
sees is that of retaining the ad
vantages teachers have gained re
cently in the way of a pension and
retirement plan, and higher
wages. If there is a general level-ling-off
of the nation's economy,
Putnam says that Oregon may
draw into the teaching profession
the high-type of persons which
are needed.
