(Re 2.1 and 2.2 on Teacher Recruiting)
~ Wuereas, Due to the large increase in enrollment in our ele-
‘mentary schools during the past three years and to the under-
‘production of teachers, especially male teachers, congregations
have had to use many women teachers who were not trained at
Synod’s teachers’ colleges; and
Wuereas, During the past three years the number of male
téachers in office decreased slightly while the number of women
teachers has nearly doubled; be it therefore
z;. Resolved, 1. That Synod commend the many emergency women
teachers who have stepped into the breach and who have helped
by their faithful service that our day school enrollment has so
signally grown; and
- 2. That Synod urge congregations to help in every way pos-
sible that such emergency teachers take advantage of summer
tourses offered by Synod’s teachers’ colleges; and
’ 3. That a judicious recruiting system be inaugurated in order
to provide the necessary number of male students.
