*Survey Indicates Shortage
Of Teachers in State Schools
AUSTIN, (Spl.)
A survey just
completed by the Texas State
Teachers Association indicates
that there will be only 2,550
new teachers available lor ap-
proximately 8,000 vacant teach-
ing jobs in Texas next Septem-
ber, Research .Director E. L.
Galyean announced Saturday.
The 8,000 figure is an esti-
mate based on previous records,
Galyean explained. The survey
showed that there were 3,508
vacant teaching jobs — almost
1,000 more than the supply of
new teachers — as of June 1.
“There are usually more than
twice as many teaching jobs
vacant on September 1 as on
June 1,” Galyean said, “because
so many teachers find new jobs,
outside the teaching profession,
during the summer.”
The survey showed that the
annual turnover in teaching
personnel is nearing 25 per cent.
Records of the Texas Education
Agency show that schools made i
12,754 replacements during the
1952-53 school year. That means
that one out of every five Tex-
as teachers changed jobs dur-
ing the past school year.
Answers to the survey ques-
tions were received from 9441
city and county superinten-
dents. Practically all of the
larger school districts reported,

The Quiet little town of Alba
Spfe? may grow again into the in-
dustrial prominence which it
•iiiC once held.
♦"< y,« Today, Alba has a population
* of a little less than 600, with
phur but a market has not yet
been found to utilize the coal
and the quantity of the sulphur
i is still unproved.
Industrial development in
East Texas might bring Alba
back to life. Lindule .if it gets
the steel plant, could possibly
use the rich deposits of lignite
found near Alba.

Alba for 50 years, recalls the

*Urges Child Care
To Prevent Polio
AUSTIN, (Spl.)
Polio isn’t
running wild in Texas this sum-
mer as it did in 1952, but it is
still smart to play safe with the
kids, George W. Cox, state
^health officer, will tell you.
Dr. Cox points out that half
of all polio victims recover com-
pletely, and 30 per cent of the
other half
from
schools representing more than
88 per cent of the total profes-
sional personnel in Texas pub-
lic schools.
The fifty-one senior colleges
and universities were surveyed
on the supply of new teachers
that will be available. Forty-
nine of these replied, reporting
that 3,660 graduating seniors
were eligible for teaching cer-
tificates. But they also reported
that only 2,500 said they would
accept teaching positions. More
than 30 per cent of those train-
ed to teach said they planned
to enter other fields.
