The number of West Virginians 0reparing to qual- ify for teachers certificate are 58 per cent. less than in 1941, they de- clare. The number of state residenfs preparing for elementary school positions in 1946-47 was listed as 27 percent of the supply five years ago, while those iA'eparing to teach in high schools represent aporoxi- matety 67 percent of the 1941 to- tal. Miss Genevieve Starcher. direc- tor of the teacher eertification di- vision in the State Department of Education, said that the figures "plainly indicate that the supply of trained teachers available for school oositions this Fa~l will be I~,ver than at any time during the war," She added that although the number of candidates for high school teaching uositions will be four I~ercent greater this vear than last, it still w:tl be only 50 percent ,f aonnal.
