THE MICHIGAN DAILY a WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1950 _, , } RELIEF IN SIGHT: Shortage of Elementary Teachers Still Increasing By BOB VAUGHN I The elementary teacher shortage ntinues to increase with no re- edy in sight; according to statis- s recently released by T. Luther irdom, director of the University ireau of Appointments and Oc- pational Information'. I n Michigan approximately 00 students are being trained r elementary teaching. Only 700 wever, are expected to enter the aching field. The estimated ortage will be around 2,000. LAST YEAR over 6,000 emer- ncy certificates were issued in e state. This year 5,000 such cer- icates have been issued. Purdom pointed out that sta- stics indicate that the elemen- iry shortage will last from sev- a to nine years. In approxi- iately 10 years a greater de- and for secondary teachers hould develop, he said. While the demand for elemen- y teachers continues to grow CORSAGES q For the Final Touch of Beauty.

Of this num- ber only about 70 per cent will teach. But there is only a demand for approximately 1600 teachers on this level so a surplus of 500 teach- ers will exist. Results of a poll of high school seniors in the state indicate that only 6 percent will enter the teaching field. * * * APPROXIMATELY 500 students are taking teaching certificates at the University's education school. In addition a considerable num- ber of people with Masters degrees are completing courses in educa- tion in order to qualify for certi- ficates. The situation isn't any better on the national level. According to figures released by the Na- tional Commission on Teacher Education and Professional Standards, the nation will need a minimum of 100,000 elemen- tary school teachers every year for the next ten years. Yet only 22,460 June college graduates will become elementary school teachers. At the present rate of teacher training only 200,000 will be avail- able during the next decade. This will leave a gap of 800,000 to be filled partially by incompe- tent personnel. An Education in Summer Suit Luxury Jobs Scarce For Spring -Graduhates The nation's graduating class of 1950 will face greater competition for jobs than any class for many years, according to "Labor Market Today" a monthly summary of oc- cupational and industrial trends. More than half of the one mil- lion school graduates who will flood the labor market in June will be from college. Unemploy- ment, it is estimated, will surpass the 5,000,000 mark at that time. * * * G. I. STUDENTS completing their college training will comprise about 80 percent of male college graduates this year. Competition for jobs will be especially keen in the fields of business administration and en- gineering. It is estimated that only half of this year's 50,000, engineering graduates will find jobs available. The others will have to take jobs not closely related to their field of concentration. THE EXPECTED 65,000 busi- ness administration graduates will be faced with the same problem confronting the engineers. They will however, find placment com- paratively easy if they enter the sales field. Geographically, employment is highest in Texas where unem- ployment is less than two per cent. In addition, there is relatively low unemployment in New Mex- ico, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. In these states the unemployment rate is less than four percent. * * * EMPLOYMENT prospects are poor in most of New England, Mi- chigan's Upper Peninsula and in all of the Pacific Coast states. "Job Market Today" figures in- dicate that employment prospects in the Federal Government will be very limited. Preference is afford- ed to veterans, the publication states. The'number of government em- ployed veterans increased from 14 percent in 1944 to 53 percent in 1949." Prof essors' Biolinguisties Book on Sale After thirty years of research, compilation and delay the Hand- book of Biolinguistics by Profs. Clarence L. Meader and John H. Muyskens of the speech depart- ment was jointly released for pub- lic sale yesterday in England and the United States. Recently recognized as a new science by Dr. Leon H. Strong, chairman of the department of anatomy at the University of Chi- cago Medical School, Biolinguistics was originated and developed through the work of the two Uni- versity professors and their gradu- ate students. Biolinguistis covers the bio- logical aspects of voice and speech development. Besides the work of the authors it includes reports by more than thirty graduate students that have never before been printed. Ready for publication by a Lon- don publishing firm in 1939, the book was delayed by the outbreak of World War II. During the Lon- don bomb blitz the publishing house was completely demolished thus adding further delay. GUTTED CITY-Smoke rises from buildings still standing (back- ground) in Rimouski, Quebec, during the wind-whipped fire that left more than 2,000 homeless. The fire started in a lumber yard and burned for 32 hours. Damage was estimated at $20,000,000. INDIAN CULTURE: 'U' Archaeologfists Race Against Industrialization (, *). Atom Talk Emphasizes' U.S. Actiont Opening the 18th annual Adult Education Institute John A. Per- kins, assistant provost of the Uni- versity, declared yesterday that the United States must "carry the ball" in future atomic energy re- search. "THE PROBLEMS of atomic en- ergy can. not all be studied by physical scientists or in the lab- oratories of the natural scientists," Perkins said, referring to the so- cial side of the problem in which political and legal questions will arise. Perkins also declared that it is appropriate that a research center such as the University should un- dertake the Michigan Memorial- Phoenix Project. Prof. Arthur W. Bromage, of the political science department, and an alderman on the Ann Arbor city council, said that "The idea that women should serve on the school board, but not on the city council, is wrong." Reasons he gave for this state- ment were that women have a tre- mendous interest in public health administration, safety of school children, handling of juvenile de- linquents and recreational facili- ties. DR. ISADORE LAMPE, profes- sor of roentgenology, speaking on cancer, told the Institute audience that cancer is a complex of many diseases, rather than one single disease. Lampe also said that "there is no satisfactory cancer detection test today." However, he urged the public to be neither over-optimistic nor dis- couragd about the progress being made on cancer, for the advance- nIents made in the past 50 years, he said, have been quite remark- able. 11 ;// A / : . l e r ' /1' '/ \\ i tee.. 1 :_ \ ( I l i II -_ The University chapter of Sigma Rho Tau, national engineering speech society, has been awarded a prize for being the most active chapter during the past year.

University archaeologists will begin a race with time this sum- mer as they begin a five-year pro- gram to unearth data on a 5,000- year Indian occupation of the Central Mississippi Valley. The reason for all the haste is that within a few years this farm area will be industrialized, and all evidence of past cultures lost, ar- * * * IN LAUNCHING the program, the group headed by Dr. J. B. Griffin, of the Museum of Anthro- pology, and Albert C. Spaulding, Associate Curator of Archaeology, will work principally in strategic areas near St. Louis. Because of its geographical location and unusually fertile soil, this area was one of the major centers of American In- dian culture around 1,000 A.D., Dr. Griffin said. The group will use three neth- ods of gathering the data, accord- ing to Dr. Griffin: information Heart Disease Control Seen "The sweep of heart disease re- search is so promising that stud- ies of gn eral old age body changes may eventually replace research about specific heart di- seases," Dr. J. C. VanSlyke, direc- tor of the National Heart Insti-' tute, said yesterday. Speaking at a two-day cancer and heart disease training pro- gram sponsored by the public health school for public health officers, Dr. VanSlyke predicted eventual control of the three most common causes of heart trouble. They are high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries and rheumatic fever, Dr. VanSlyke said. DR. VANSLYKE described the year-old, federally supported Na- tional Heart Institute as "a broad- ly conceived, well-balanced pro- gram of research, training and control activities" in cardiac problems. Earlier in the training pro- gram, which ended yesterday, the public health officers agreed that cancer may cease to be a major scourge in the future, even if no specific cure for it is found. Michigan Health Commissioner Albert E. Heustis said that from 20 to 25 per cent of treated can- cers are cured. "If we could apply all the in- formation that we now possess, from 40 to 50 per cent more could be cured," Dr. Heustis added. Collings To Speak Prominent industrialists will speak at a meeting of the Student Affiliate of the American Chemi- cal Society, 7 p.m. today in Rm. 1400 Chemistry Bldg. Featured will be W.

One of the theories which the study will test is the idea that the cultural level at different time periods has influenced the type of area occupied. Another aim is to determine the manner in which cultural ideas which came from Mexico about 1,000 A.D. were adopted by local groups. Comic opera !latinee To Be Given Sunday A special Mother's Day matinee for Iolanthe, the Spring produc- tion of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, has been scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, according to Richard Webber, society president. "Iolanthe will be an example of student dramatics at its best," Webber said, "and should be a welcome treat for visiting mo- thers." * * * TICKET SALES for this mati- nee are being held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the first window in the Administration Bldg. at 90 cents and $1.20. Tickets for the Friday and Saturday night shows are also on sale. This comic operetta, in the best of Gilbert and Sullivan tra- dition, is based on the endeav- ors of a band of Arcadian fairies to upset the equilibrium of the English House of Peers by get- ting the son of one of their members into the House. One of the most popular of, Gil- bert and Sullivan dramas, Iolan- the lampoons the traditions of English Peerage, and has been a m u s i n g American audiences throughout the present century. The weekend production by the Gilbert and Sullivan Society marks the sixth of their operatic en- deavors.
