Table 2 (column 7) of the Present report shows that it’ Will be necessary to em- 
ploy in 1949-50 at least 88,260 teachers with substandard certificates» In the late 
1930's the 48 states issued only about 2500 temporary certificates each years. in, the

75 percent of the states for rural schools and Ri Lor d of the states for urban '

Looking at the situation over the past thréé school years it appears that a 
critical rural shortage has been widespread during the entire period despite the eon- 
tinuous employment of thousands of substandard teachers; EN aT ES is 
steadily spreading to more and more states even tho the urban sclióol systems, cont inue

of additional teachers "needed to replace the untrained emergency teachers and to re

ask for the number of teachers "needed. to reduce teacher. load and to. proyide ade- 
quately for increasing enrolments,". The answers. sbtamed for, the two years, are not

In more than half of the states the ba shortage is "very large" for ele- 
mentary schools ‘in cities; in about one-fourth of the states the a school 
. building shortage is also "very large" in rural schools» 


' As ‘compared with 1958-9, the national situation this year has not changed much 
for rural elementary schools; it is showing increasing difficulty for rural secondary 
..Sehools, This change in rural secondary schools may be partly explained by the re- 
organization of districts, the increasing unwillingness of city schooi systems to 
accept pupils from rural areas, the improvement of attendance among rural you, and 
some reversal in population movement from rural areas to the cities. 


.- By combining the "considerable" and the "very large" columns there is v evi- 
dence of a nationwide shortage of schocl buildings in city school systems, This 
condition at the elementary school level reflects the high birth rates and the lag in 
school construction during the past decade; at the secondary school level it repre- 
sents increasing holding power and better attendance in th3sée schools and reduced 
gainful employment of youth of high school ege. 


The building situation is especially ominous for secondary schóols when consider- 
ation is given to the ultimate effect upon them of the enlarged enrolments” now passing 
thru the clementary schools, Lack of sufficient funds today to build enough elemen- 
tary schools does not promisé a hopeful outlook in the period from 1953 to. 1960 when 
these iarger enrclments will be in tne junior and senior high schools»: ESE 


Pupil enrolments y n" ln 1939-40, according to the U. S. Office of Education, the 
public elementary and, spsgndary schools enrolled 25,433,542 pupils — 18,832,098 in' 
elementary schools and; 8,60, 2444 in secondary schools. During the war years each. 
school level dropped. approx: itely one million students — a total loss of about: 
2,000,000. These, total. enrolment figures contained some” duplicates: since:the Boris 
were obtained at, the end. of, the year from state departments, of" educatio.

On_the basis of the details re orted this year (see Table the national average 
for instructional staff is estimated as $2985 for 1 O. 
for instructional staff is estinated as 82083 for TN oD 


In 1939-40 the average salary of public schcol instructional staff was $8441, 
This amcunt had a purchasing power in rrewar dollars of $1440, The estimated average 
of $2750 in 1948-49 had a purchasing power of $1612 in 1935-1939 dollars. 


Ihe estimated average of $2985 for 1949-50 has a prewar purchasifig power of 
$1760 (32985 divided by 169,6, the BIS index for September 1949; 1935-1939 equals 
100; see footnote of Table 4). j 


Altho the estimated national average salary has doubled’ ín amount since 1939-40 
it hzs gained onl 20 in purchasing power. Pert of this gain has been offset by 
the federal income tax, which did not appiy to public school teachers prior to 1939. 
This new obligation has not always been: recognized by salary schedules and the public. 
4 teacher with one dependent, earning the average sálary in 1948-49 and 1949-50, will 
pay 23221 as his.1949 tax. If this amount is subtracted from his salary for the schol 


. Also; the relative value of tho average salary of the public school instructional 
staff has been .decreased by the fact that eárnings in general have increased more than 
teachers! earnings, The prewar salaries of instructional staff in 1940 was nearly 
$150 higher than thé average earnings of all employéd persoris in the United States, 
But by 1948 (the latest year for which figures are availabl on all emphoyed persons) 
the instructional staff average was ‘$194 lower than ‘the Averaged ‘for ‘all "employed 


persons,

The Situation in Aleska, Hawatt. and Puerto Rico''''*' 
eT 
For 2 numb.r of years there has been an increasing interest in their common 
problems among the organized ‘teacher associations of the 48 states and similar groups 
in the outlying areas, Because of these mutual interests this NEA series of surveys 
has attempted since 1947-48: to obtein information from “Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, 
and the Virgin Islands. This year no report was received from the Virgin Islands, 


Table ‘8 summarizes the information from thres of the outlying areas. The number 
of substandard certificates in'uss is relatively small in Alaska’ and Hawaii; in Puerto 
Rico more than 1 in 5'teáchérs holds only a substindard Certificate. Salaries in 
Alaska and Hawaii, not taking: in account cost of living, cómpare favorably with the 
most fortunate states; Puerto Rice's average competes’ only with Mississippi's among : 
the 43 states, E NE

The teacher shortage is reported as small in Alaska and Hawaii in both rural and 
urban schools of all levels. Puerto Rico has a lerge shortage of rural elementary
