Teacher Shortages Worse
Than During World War II
Who can do the most to help
solve today’s critical teacher
shortage, the most acute since
the 1940’s ?

Foreign Service
Seeks Applicants
A young foreign service offi
cer from the U. S. Department
of State talked Friday with Tex
as A&M students about career
opportunities.
Peter Beneville, a 27-year old
Dartmouth graduate, discussed
pros and cons of the foreign serv
ice and narrated a movie depict
ing problems of bringing about
a just peace throughout the
world.
A lot of openings are available
in both the U. S. Foreign Service
and the U. S. Information Agen
cy, Beneville said. Especially
good opportunities await econo
mists, management and business
training people, he added.
“The work is very challenging
in using education skills you
have,’’ he commented. “Situations
are always changing, so there is
no opportunity for boredom. For
me, at least, there is a great
deal of pride and patriotism in
representing the U. S. aboai'd.”
Beneville spent the first two
of his five years’ service in Paris,
woi'king with the Foreign Service
Office and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. He is now
a staff assistant to the Assistant
Secretary of State for European
affairs in Washington.
The visitor reminded students
that a written foreign service
examination is scheduled Dec. 3
in Bryan. No charge is made for
the test. Persons 21 to 31 may
take the test. There is no re
quisite as to educational back
ground. Application forms are
available in the Placement Of
fice.
Persons who score well on
examinations will be invited for
an oral examination before a
panel of senior foreign service
offices next spring.
the best position to provide long-
range solutions.
“Teachers have a better oppor
tunity than any other profession
to recruit high-quality candidates
for teacher education,’’ Dr. Hen
sarling said. “Prospective teach
ers should be identified in high
school and encouraged to begin
college work with a teaching ob
jective.”
“Opportunities should be given
these people to try teaching by i
assisting teachers, to discover the |
challenges and rewards of the j
teaching profession,” he contin
ued.
How critical is the teacher
shortage ? Dr. Hensarling said J
his department received 1,423 |
job calls from elementary and i
secondary schools during the past
year.
W. R. Horsley, director of
A&M’s placement office, said 568 i
schools contacted him in search of j
teachers during the 1965-66 j
school year.
“We have about 50 calls for;
every teaching graduate,” Hors
ley noted.
The teacher shortage extends j
from the elementary through the j
university level.
Dr. Hensarling warned that |
merely increasing the number of
teachers is not enough. “Today’s
schools deserve and should be
able to demand good teachers.” <
Short-term relief is available
from teacher sources, points out i
the National Education Associa- |
tion.
The National Commission on j
Teacher Education and Profes- |
sional Standai’ds has called on
local and state schools to take
advantage of a great reservoir !
of qualified teachers not present-
ly teaching.
The pool includes a large num- J
ber of teachers who are wives |
and mothers with recent college
degrees and teacher training, I
Peace Corps returnees, unem- I
ployed 1966 graduates of Negro |
colleges, National Teacher Corps j
trainees, vigorous retired teach- |
ers and talented liberal arts |
g’raduates who could be attracted j
into internship programs.
Employment of unqualified >
teachers to meet the crisis tends j
to worsen the problem because
low standards drive intelligent
and talented people away from;
any field, the Commission 1
warned.
Dr. Hensarling said the teach- |
ing profession must reflect its j
image of improving salaries and j
frame of mind, changed from !
hard economics to service.
“It is our responsibility to see
that people who choose the teach- !
ing profession are not penalized j
and forced to make sacrifices in j
order to render this important j
service to the children of our
state and nation,” the department !
head commented.
