No. 1 Need Of Texas Schools Is More Teachers
(Editor's note: This is the first
in a series of articles on the needs
of our schools, written by a man
who has been in public school work
for more than a quarter of a cen-
tury).
BY CHARLES H. TENNYSON
Executive Secretary, Texas State
Teachers Association
Because our schools have been
gaining pupils and losing teachers,
the No." 1 need of public education
in Texas at the moment is more
teachers.

Conservative estimates indicate
that by 1960 we will need 11,000
more teachers than we have now.
Our scholastic population has been
increasing at the rate of more than
30,000 a year; that is, we have
30,000 more children in school
each year than we had the year
before.
Based on the increased popula-
i tion alone, we need 1,000 more
teachers a year. But that isn't the
! whole problem. At the same time
our enrollments are growing, the
number of teachers is actually de-
creasing. About 4,000 teachers quit
I the profession each year.
| Meanwhile, our colleges and uni-
I versities are training about 4,000
I teachers a year. But the public
! schools do not get those 4,000
| teachers; they actually get about
! 2,000. What happens to the other
; 2,ooo?
! Our present schedule says the
public schools must pay the begin-
ning teacher with a college degree
a minimum of $2,403 a year. Busi-
ness and industry learned long ago
they could not hire young college
graduates for that amount. They
offer these same people from
$3,000 to $3,600 a year.
If you were just graduating from
college with a degree in education,
after spending four years and
about $3,000 getting that degree,
which job would you take? Would
you go into teaching for $2,403 or
into business for $3,600? About
half of the college graduates who
are trained to teach go into busi-
ness.
Our schools are now using' a
number of substandard teachers.
Some classes have had as many as
five different teachers during this
school year. Qualified commercial
teachers are especially hard t.o find
in many areas. Many typing teach-
ers have quit teaching to take jobs
as civil service typists—at begin-
ning sallarles of $2,750 usually,
with automatic raises of $80 a
year every 18 months. Civil Serv-
ice stenographers usually start at
$2,950 even though no college
training is necessary for these posi-
tions.
You would be surprised at how
many former school teachers are
doing common, ordinary jobs that
require no college training. We
know of some who are delivering
milk, driving bread trucks, work-
ing as waitresses and doing manual
labor. They had rather teach school
but they cannot make enough
money teaching to maintain a rea-
sonable standard of living.
Some schools had to delay the
opening of their fall terms last
September because they were un-
able to get enough teachers. In a
recent survey, many school super-
intendents explained why they had
been forced to employ substan-
dard teachers. A typical comment:
"We had no choice. We took the
first available teachers."
Education is the cornerstone of
democracy and teachers are the
backbone of education. If our de-
mocracy should eventually crum-
ble, what would we say? That we
had no choice and took the first
available teachers?
$3,000 minimum salary for col-
lege-trained teachers, with a $600-
a-year raise for all teachers, has
j been proposed in Senate Bill 24
! and House Bill 216.
i That would not solve the prob-
lem entirely; but it would go a long
¡way toward attracting young peo-
ple in'o the teaching profession
and holr'ing the teachers we have
! now.

A Sure Fire Way to Sell
More Tomatoes
in 1953
Dr. Roger's C-D Dust
Get more tomatoes . . . Get less Culls . . .
Get more money . . . Get Dr. Rooer's C-D Dust.
DR. P. A. YOUNG SAYS:
. . . the results of the tests definitely showed that Dr.
Rogers' C-D Dust was the only one tested that prominently
and definitely decreased the number of wormy tomatoes. The
tests showed also that D.D.T. does not injure tomatoes in any
way ..."
NOW DR. YOUNG RECOMMENDS :
, . C-D Dust for controlling cucumber beetles on young
watermelons and cantaloupes and with careful use will probably
be safe to use on cucumbers. One application is usually suf-
ficient ..."
