Fantastic Teacher. Shortage To Be
Evident In 1953 If Trend Continues
AN MAL ANTICS
Bob Dalton
AUSTIN, Tex.—Schoolhouses in 1953 may be bulging with students
but lacking in teachers, a survey. of elementary teaching positions in
Texas by a University graduate student indicates.
Hollis A. Moore, Jr., who is assistant to- Dean L. D. Haskew of the
College of Education, found there will be a shortage of more than 20,000
teachers by 1953.
■ He • drew his - figures from the -------------------------—-----
Bureau of Vital Statistics and ele-
mentary enrollment data in the
State Department of Education.
His survey, showed Texas schools
will require 29,844 new elementary
teachers in the five-year period,
1949-50 through 1953-54, to replace
experienced teachers who leave the
classroom, and to provide additional
teachers for each 30 pupils due to
increased enrollment. Less than 2,-
000 elementary teaching certificates
of all kinds were issued in 1947-48
and if this production rate con-
tinues, the shortage is inevitable, he
emphasized.

HE DARING NEW DODGE
BUILT FOR TODAY'S BIGGER,TALLER, MORE ACTIVE AMERICANS 7
Iff
By THEODORE THOMAS
It is said that Theodore Thom-
as brought "music" to America.
At least, he was the outstanding
pioneer in making America “mu-
sic conscious” and cultivating a
taste for symphonic music in
America. When little Theodore
935
came to America in 1845, from
Esens, Germany, the people of
America had been busy develop-
ing the -land, and building homes,
and they had not yet developed
an appreciation of the arts. :
With the Theodore Thomas
Orchestra, he toured the country,
bringing good music to vast au-
AMERIG
diences, and fulfilling, his life’s
mission of stimulating the, taste
for good music in America. He
served as director of the Cin-
cinnati College of Music, con-
ductor of the Brooklyn Philhar-
monic, New York Philharmonic
and established the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra. He con-
ducted five music festivals in
Cincinnati, and organized a
series of concerts in New York
in 1886. He became director of
the American Opera in New
York, and was musical director
of the World’s Fair in 1893.
Probably no other man worked
so vigorously and diligently for
music in America as did Theo-
dore Thomas.
