Klamath's Schools Enjoy
Favorable Teacher Outlook
Klnmalh's city and county
schools ara enjoying a far more
favorable outlook than many
Oregon Institutions with the
teacher problem less acute here
than in other sections of the
state, according to Superintend
ents Fred Peterson and Arnold

ally employ 7Bop teachers, may
be short as many as 1200 teach
ers during the school year be
ginning next fall, State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction
Rex Putnam stated In Salem
Thursday. Putnam said that In
normal times, about 700 new
touchers art hired each year, Just
to replace those who normally
resign. But resignations now
are mora than double the usual
number, making at least 1500
vacancies next year.
Putnam also said It would bt
Impossible to operate all schools,
and he recommended that some
of the smaller schools consolidate
with the larger ones. He added,
however, that the principal ob
stacle to consolidation Is tht
shortage of school buses,
Superintendent Gralapp, re
viewing the city school situation,
said he folt he would be able to
staff tho schools by calling back
old teachers and those on tha
substitute list. The larger cen
ters, he observed, will suffer and
especially where higher salary
war Jobs ara offered.
The field dominated by men
teachers, such as manual train
ing, mechanical drawing and
physical education, will be hard
hit with war industry and serv
ice calls taking many from the
picture.

call for some steps of this kind
and that the possibility of bring
ing tha sophomore, Junior and
senior classes of Keno high
school Into Klamath Union high
school has been discussed.
Resignations In tht county sys
tem have been abova normal, it
was observed.
