Bedroom Is Student's Living Center; Bedspreads Do Much to Add Color Tliough their elders may some times doubt it. today's teenage students are interested very much in the looks of their own rooms. At home, the room is a bedroom, where perhaps they tackle their homework, or shoot the breeze with a pal. Away at the university, it's a room in a dorm or a boar dint; house and besides being used for study and sleeping, it had to serve as their living room. But, wherever it happens to be, they want it to .look attractive. The way to fulfilling their wish es should begin with the choice of a bedspread. -This, if properly chosen and combined with match ing drapes, will make the room bright and cheerful and serve as the key to "Us color scheme. Several new styles are available to fit every taste and need at prices which won't break the budg et. One firm, Bates, for instance, has brought nut a handsome new group which offei-3 both bedspread and draperies for as low as $7.95. in fill sorts of gav designs. But styling and color alone arc onlv nart of the bargain. Today's well-woven bedspreads are de signed for sturdiness, also, being wrinkle-. tgid muss-resistant and usually easy to launder. If the room at homo is a small one, another excellent purchase is a new convertible sofa-bed. This fixes the student more room and a place to entertain friends. One now model, by Turn-A-Bed, is a handsome sectional piece which can be used in corners. Students going away to school would be wise to take time before hand to carefully study the hand book. In this little brochure, every thing that you will have to supply will be listed and the things that will be supolied by the school will also be noted, with sizes indicated whenever possible. In mcst cases, the bedspread and draperies for a room must be brojgbt plong by the student. The basic furniture items fire supplied by the school itself. For a double room, these usual ly include two twin-sized beds; desks and chairs: a chest of draw ers, and usually one good lamp. Additional comfort items you might want to take along would be dpsk Low Salaries Are Stunting Teacher Xrop' There's only one trouble with the nation's teachers there aren't enough of tl-em. According to fig jres compiled by the National Edu cation Association, the United States Office of Education, and other organizations, the shortage is becoming more critical. I On the elementary level alone, last year's demand for 73,771 teach ers was met by only H.tMl quaji- Iled instructors. In some specialized fields of teaching, the need Is even more acme. Only 818 persons last year answered the call for 1405 general science teachers. According to authorities at Co lumbia University's Teachers Col lege, there Is an over-all demand for 1.300. 00) teachers as replace ments over a ten-year period. Many educators lav the blame for this growing shortage of teach ers to low salaries being paid by school systems throughout the na tion. According to the National Education Association and U. S. Office of Education figures, the average classroom teacher draws a salary of (3816. In California and New York, teachers draw averse salaries in the vicinity of $5,000. In Mississippi, the average standi at $2200. The dearth of replacements is pushing the age of teachers up to the danger point in many localities. It has also made the field pri marily a woman's profession. This is the word from Dr. Willard Els brec of Columbia University's Teachers College. Dr. Elsbree paints the average American classroom teacher as an unmarried woman ranging in age between 40 and 45. She has a col lege education and she teaches a class oi approximately 30 chil dren. Her work is frequently a I labor of love. Its only tangible reward is community prestige be cause the salary is hardly worth sniffing at. lamps- waste paper baskets; one or two mirrors; one large cotton rug or some small scatter rugs: a radio or phonograph: pictures (these may not be nailed upl and pehaps even some small plants to give the room a home-like touch. Remember, however, that you will have to be your own house keeper and things which don't show soil easily and aren't dust catchers will be the best bets. An especially good idea for home as well as away is a com-, fortable easy chair. Some leading firms, such as Stratolounger, have handsome tilt-back models which are tops for relieving tension. And most important of all, they are made with practical plastic. which is stain resistant and easily cleaned. If the budget is limited, don't overlook the little touches .you may add yourself at a minimum of ex pense which will perk up the looks of the room more than you ever thought possible. Ansther bed spread to match the ones for the beds can be used to cover an old wastebasket; as a background for your bulletin board; to cover an old lampshade and to cover a chest of drawers. Most people, in thinking of schools, do not take into account the fact that a teacher spends from (5000 to $10,000 preparing herself to teach. Nor do they think of the countless vacations .spent at sum mer school to keep, abreast of the times. Teachers are becoming better equipped all the time. According to Dr. Elsbree, certification re quirements have advanced steadily ever the years. These requirements have advanced the level of a teacher's education by a slid year during each of the 'past few de cades. This means that a teacher must spend more money and more lime in preparing lor the work. Before the nation can give its vouth the specialized training it needs, it must first attract more and even better teachers into its schools, according to Dr. Elsbree More men could be used in the teaching profession. The demand for them in the high schools and colleges is great. There is a demand for almost every kind of teacher, although some fit-Ids need instructors more ihan others. But no matter what the field, there appears to be job for .anyone who is qualified in a school somewnere in our leacner hungry nation. CO ON RECORD WITH FILE If Junior or Sis is a mad record collector, he or she probably can't stand the idea of even a week's vacation away from the favorites. Don't pack the records in suit cases. Get him a portable file with a handle which can be carried on the train. RADIO'S REAL PAL Within limitations, a radio In a school child's room is a good idea. It shouldn't take over when home work is to be done, but it is a big help in cases of illness or no-date. Going to sleep with It on is a natural peril. Check on it. BED-BOARD NEEDED Schools do supply beds, yes: but sometimes their quality is question able for anyone who has back trou ble or trouble sleeping on a saeging mattress. A bed board makes a useful investment here. Appliances Fit in College Curriculu For students returning to school, especially those at collepre, the Rift of a small appliance can be most timely and useful. A travel iron, for instance handv. liaht and compact help them to care for their clothes. One new model, by Durabilt, weighs only 40 ounces and folds up for easy storage In a crowded suit case or closet. Yet it still does the work of a standard Iron and will usually last for years. A practical Item for girls is the portable electric hair dryer. SCHOOL SECTION 1 f WiWW HOME 3 - WALKINQ' FAVORITES BACK Hcre' ine goin'est shoe I gal can have ... the all-lime favorite ... saddles.
