Teachers wi 1 1 marry man of 'reasonable7 salary The fact that 73 percent of the successful grade school teachers In midweatern states are willing to consider marriage, provided the man earns a reasonable salary, is one of the many interesting, as well as useful, facts revealed by a university survey of 238 "expert" grade sohodt teachers in Nebraska, Iowa, Kaiwas, . Missouri and Colo rado.

The university is the first ever to devise a per sonal interest test for teachers. Teachers most interested In teaching. The results of the investigation reveal clearly that the majority of successful teachers are more in terested in -their chosen profession than in any other.

The average elementary teacher enjoys the cinema and likes to read romantic stories and women's pages and prefers reading a book to cinemattending; play-going, to dancing; and participating In amusements singly or doubly, to doing so in crowda The out-of-school activities pre ferred by the teachers are varied, but definitely tend to be conserva tive and humanistic. Church at tendance, raising flowers and dec orating rooms are some of the more popular "extra curricular" activities. The teachers also enjoy contributing to charities, cooking, reading newspaper editorials and giving first-aid assistance. Altho the average teacher is interested in politics, she does not care to discuss her opinions. A GUARANTEE I'KIVATE LESSONS TIN TEAKS Of SICCESSFUL TEACIHNG sun.cu- LEE A.
