“We have a call for a Science-Math teacher in a Central Penn
sylvania High School at $2000, or more. Are you. interested? If
not, pass the information on to someone who may be.”
This above note has been on the bulletin board of Haven
Hall for some time now, but apparently it hasn’t made much im
pression on those who read it. The facts haven’t seemed quite
clear to us here in college about the teacher shortage that exists.
Perhaps this will clear up some of the ideas we have concerning
it.
To begin with in peace times about 50,000 teachers withdraw
from the profession each year for one reason or another. The
usual teacher college graduates combine with the liberal arts
graduates to fill this demand. That is all right in peace times but
this is war times as we all realize and conditions have changed
greatly. Last year instead of the usual number withdrawing from
teaching 130,000 withdrew—some to take defense jobs, others to
join various branches of the armed forces, and for numerous
other reasons. The worst part of the situation becomes visible
"when we realize that there were less than 25,000 students graduat
ing from teacher-training schools this year.
A little simple math points out the fact that there are about
<60,000 vacancies or positions being filled with indivduals who
have stepped in to ease the situation, but who have no prepara
tion for teaching.
The general public hasn’t understood this situation and yet
they had demanded that the school increase its sphere of influ
ence. The result of all this has been the issuing of 37,000 emen
-gency certificates, the closing of 25,000 class rooms and 10,000,000
■children being crowded together under fewer teachers and in
(fewer schools.

There is but one outcome to things as we are letting them run
■now. The American people are wishing on themselves a genera
tion of children educated under poor conditions, taught bv un
qualified teachers, and are still expecting them to produce the
same if not better results than other generations. The picture
vof what it will mean to the country is gloomy enough but for
"those who intend to teach, the picture is much worse. Not only
will it mean harder work in crowded class rooms with the warped

Hold Party
Singing is not the only activity
in which the Choir participates.
On Friday, Feb. 18, they had a
party at the home of their directoress, Mrs. Campbell. An eve
ning of rollicking fun and eating
occupied the girls’ time. Included
in the games was the one called
“I’m Ducky-wucky, who are you?”
Ask Louise Hodnick about this one
and why she insists that Carol
sounds like Priceless, and Kore

At the George Washington din

college by vocalizing on the alpha
bet and Fred Waring’s arrange
ment of “The Night Is Young”.
The choir is doing something new
this semester by devoting itself to
the singing of semi-popular music.

Dramatic Club
Presents Play
The Dramatic Club will present
soon a melodrama entitled “Ber
tha the Beautiful Typewriter Girl”.
It is a fool-proof melodrama filled
with raging conflict between good
and evil.
Dealing with Desperate Daniel
Desmond and his felonious attempt
to betray Bertha, the beautiful
girl was an immediate hit in its
radio version used over a nation
wide hook-up.
Every angle of the old-time
melodrama is incorporated into
the plot, stolen diamonds, revenge,
brave heroism and the noble ac
tions of the hero who unflinching
ly faces almost unsurmountable
odds.
Myrtle Johnson is directing the
play with Joy Knarr in charge of
scenery; Joyce Ryder, properties;
Kore Funk, publicity; peanuts and

Toboggan Party
Alluring taffeta evening dress
By Vera Winston
The evening dress is com
ing more and more into the
fashion picture as the demand
for this type of frock increases
in the shops. It’s the sort of
dress that a man likes to see
on his best girl, be she his
mother, his wife or sweet
heart, when he’s home on
leave. The skirt is of taffeta
in changeable pink and green,
and the same colors are used
for the criss-cross banding on
the bodice. The banding ties
in back in a soft bow.
Students and faculty gathered
in front of Haven Hall, Feb. 19 for
a tobogganing party sponsored by
the W.A.A. at the Country Club.
Toboggans and skiis were used
from the college for the evening
although the slide was not in use.
The hill was used instead which
made it all the more fun for the
skiers because of the bump at the
bottom. Others gathered in the
Clubhouse to play shuffle board
and cards.
While the skiers thawed out in
front of the fire place, Miss Logan
entertained the rest of the group
by playing for group singing.
This was one of the nicest Sat
urday nights the college has had
this winter—why can’t we have
more of such nights of organized
fun for everyone.

“We have a call for a Science-Math teacher in a Central Penn
sylvania High School at $2000, or more. Are you. interested? If
not, pass the information on to someone who may be.”
This above note has been on the bulletin board of Haven
Hall for some time now, but apparently it hasn’t made much im
pression on those who read it. The facts haven’t seemed quite
clear to us here in college about the teacher shortage that exists.
Perhaps this will clear up some of the ideas we have concerning
it.
To begin with in peace times about 50,000 teachers withdraw
from the profession each year for one reason or another. The
usual teacher college graduates combine with the liberal arts
graduates to fill this demand. That is all right in peace times but
this is war times as we all realize and conditions have changed
greatly. Last year instead of the usual number withdrawing from
teaching 130,000 withdrew—some to take defense jobs, others to
join various branches of the armed forces, and for numerous
other reasons. The worst part of the situation becomes visible
"when we realize that there were less than 25,000 students graduat
ing from teacher-training schools this year.
A little simple math points out the fact that there are about
<60,000 vacancies or positions being filled with indivduals who
have stepped in to ease the situation, but who have no prepara
tion for teaching.
The general public hasn’t understood this situation and yet
they had demanded that the school increase its sphere of influ
ence. The result of all this has been the issuing of 37,000 emen
-gency certificates, the closing of 25,000 class rooms and 10,000,000
■children being crowded together under fewer teachers and in
(fewer schools.

There is but one outcome to things as we are letting them run
■now. The American people are wishing on themselves a genera
tion of children educated under poor conditions, taught bv un
qualified teachers, and are still expecting them to produce the
same if not better results than other generations. The picture
vof what it will mean to the country is gloomy enough but for
"those who intend to teach, the picture is much worse. Not only
will it mean harder work in crowded class rooms with the warped

Hold Party
Singing is not the only activity
in which the Choir participates.
On Friday, Feb. 18, they had a
party at the home of their directoress, Mrs. Campbell. An eve
ning of rollicking fun and eating
occupied the girls’ time. Included
in the games was the one called
“I’m Ducky-wucky, who are you?”
Ask Louise Hodnick about this one
and why she insists that Carol

At the George Washington din

college by vocalizing on the alpha
bet and Fred Waring’s arrange
ment of “The Night Is Young”.
The choir is doing something new
this semester by devoting itself to
the singing of semi-popular music.

Dramatic Club
Presents Play
The Dramatic Club will present
soon a melodrama entitled “Ber
tha the Beautiful Typewriter Girl”.
It is a fool-proof melodrama filled
with raging conflict between good
and evil.
Dealing with Desperate Daniel
Desmond and his felonious attempt
to betray Bertha, the beautiful
girl was an immediate hit in its
radio version used over a nation
wide hook-up.
Every angle of the old-time
melodrama is incorporated into
the plot, stolen diamonds, revenge,
brave heroism and the noble ac
tions of the hero who unflinching
ly faces almost unsurmountable
odds.
Myrtle Johnson is directing the
play with Joy Knarr in charge of
scenery; Joyce Ryder, properties;
Kore Funk, publicity; peanuts and

Toboggan Party
Alluring taffeta evening dress
By Vera Winston
The evening dress is com
ing more and more into the
fashion picture as the demand
for this type of frock increases
in the shops. It’s the sort of
dress that a man likes to see
on his best girl, be she his
mother, his wife or sweet
heart, when he’s home on
leave. The skirt is of taffeta
in changeable pink and green,
and the same colors are used
for the criss-cross banding on
the bodice. The banding ties
in back in a soft bow.
Students and faculty gathered
in front of Haven Hall, Feb. 19 for
a tobogganing party sponsored by
the W.A.A. at the Country Club.
Toboggans and skiis were used
from the college for the evening
although the slide was not in use.
The hill was used instead which
made it all the more fun for the
skiers because of the bump at the
bottom. Others gathered in the
Clubhouse to play shuffle board
and cards.
While the skiers thawed out in
front of the fire place, Miss Logan
entertained the rest of the group
by playing for group singing.
This was one of the nicest Sat
urday nights the college has had
this winter—why can’t we have
more of such nights of organized
fun for everyone.
