Shortage of Teachers
In W. Va 2. Schools
School authorities at Charle. ton
are sure there will be a shortage of
teachers in West Virginia schools
the coming year. 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.
In West Virginia, 2,/i63 of the
15,097 teachers regularly employed
during 1945-46 held emerger.~/
certificates and, of these, 1,269 had
less than two years of college
training, or no higher education at
:ill. "Had it not been for the is.~-
rmee of omergency certificates,
~aore than 2.000 sckool rooms in
West Virghfia would have been
closed throughout the school year
of 1945-46. and almost 1,000 rooms
would have been closed a p,rtion
,f the time because of an insu"-
ficiovtsul)nly of regul~rlv c'ertifi-
cated teachers," Miss Starcher ex-
plained.
