total enrollment, Prof. George Car-
rothers of the Education school
points out in a report which he will
present at a conference of high
school principals of the Michigan
Education Association, on Decem-
ber 3 and 4 at Lalising.
Prof. Stuart A Courtis of the Ed-,
ucation School will also be at the
conference.
"Because each teacher has a
greater number of students to han-
die, he is not able to give each one
as much individual attention as
would otherwise be possible," said
Professor Carrothers, commenting
on the figures in his report. "I be-
lieve that the ill effects of this con-
dition will manifest themselves in a
few years if the situation contin-
ues."
The satistics show that last year,
801 .new teachers were employed by
Michigan schools in the North Cen-
tral Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools; this year only
502 were added. At the same time,
total enrollment in these schools
has increased from 108,000 to 128,-
000. Professor Carrothers attributed
this diminution to two factors, both
connected with the present finan-
cial crisis: that veteran teachers
are holding on to their jobs, and
that schools are cutting down on
their budgets.
