Teacher Shortage
(Unprinted Memorial 60)

Wuereas, There is constant need for observing trends in school
development; and

Whereas, There exists a great teacher shortage at present, to
the detriment of our school system; and

Wuerseas, This shortage may be increased if efforts are made at
school expansion; and

Wuereas, A judicious recruiting of boys and girls for the teach-
ing profession in our schools is a problem which is always with us;
therefore be it

Resolved, That Synod be asked to provide for a standing com-
mittee for

a. the purpose of studying trends in school enrollments;

b, the purpose of proposing adequate facilities for the proper
training of our future teachers; and

c. the purpose of proposing plans for the judicious recruiting
of boys and girls for our Teachers Colleges; and be it further

Resolved, That this committee be composed of representatives
from, a. The Board for Parish Education; b. the Board for Higher
Education; c. our Teachers Colleges; d. Superintendents’ Con-
ference. ;

Wuereas, It is often difficult to open a new school because a
congregation may find it difficult to obtain a teacher; and

Wuereas, A newly organized school should have the. best
teacher available; therefore be it

Resolved, That we urge Districts to call one or several suc-
cessful men teachers who could be assigned to strategic positions
for opening and firmly establishing new schools.
