The Teacher Problem
More than 100,000 teaching po
sitions in the puplic schools of the
United States are either vacant or
filled by teachers below standard,
and the attendance at regular
normal schools and teacher-training
schools has decreased 20 per
cent in the last three years. These
startling facts are shown by the
complete report of an investigat
ion made by the National Educat
ion Association.
. Letters were sent out by the As
sociation in September to every
county and every district superin
tendent in the United States ask
ing for certain definite informa
tion. Signed statements were sent
in by more than 1,700 superintend
euts, from every state, represent
ing 238,573 teaching positions
These report an actual shortage of
14,G83 teachers, or slightly more
than 0 per cent of the teaching
positions represented, and 23,000
teachers below standard who have
been accepted to fill vacancies, or
slightly less than 10 per cent. It
is estimated that there are 650,000
teaching positions in the public
schools of the United States, and
if these figures hold good for the
entire country there are 30,000
vacancies and 05,000 teachers be
low standard.
These same superintendents re
port that 52,798 teachers dropt out
during the past year, a loss of
over 22 per cent. On this basis
the total number for the entire
country would be 143,000. The re
ports riiow that the shortage of
teachers and the number of teach
ers below standard are greatest in
the rural districts where salaries
are lowest and teaching condit
ions least attractive.
The states in which salaries and
standards are highest hav;e the
most nearly adequate supply of
teachers. California shows a com
bined shortage and below standard
of Sy2 per cent; Massachusetts
shows iy2 per cent, and Illinois 7
percent. In at least six of the
Southern states more than one
third of their schools are reported
either without teachers or being
taught by teachers below their
standards.
Nearly all of the superintend
ents declare that teachers' salaries
have not increased in proportion
to the increased cost of living, nor
as salaries have increased in other
vocations, and that teachers are
continuing to leave the profession
for other work.
Reports received by the Nation
al Education Association from
normal school presidents show
that the attendance in these teacher-training
institutions has fallen
off alarmingly. The total attend
ance in 78 normal schools and
teacher training schools located
in 35 different states for the year
11)10, was 83,051. In 1911) the at
tendance in these same schools
had fallen to 20,134. The total
number in the graduating classes
of 1920 in these 78 schools is, 7119.
These figures show a decrease of
over 30 per tent in four years in
the finest product of these schools.
These presidents of these insti
tutions state that in order to in
duce promising young men and
women to enter the teaching pro
fession and thereby furnish the
country au adequate supply of
competent, well-trained teachers,
there must be:
1. Higher salaries for trained
teachers;
2. Higher professional stand
ards, excluding the incompetent
and unprepared;
3. More liberal appropriations
to state normal schools and teach
er training schools iu order to pay
better salaries iu these institu
tions and furnish better equip
ment ;
5. Extending the courses and
raising the standards in the teach-
