Effort Will Be Made to Meet Teacher Need To meet the teacher shortage in Nebraska's elementary and high schools, over 4,000 emergency teachers certificates will be issued this fall, according to an estimate made by R. D. Moritz, director of the university Educational Service department. Over 3,258 certificates were is sued last year, and 27 in 1929 when the emergency certification law was enacted to meet an an ticipated shortage of teachers dur ing wartime. Sharp Increase. Moritz said the sharp Increase in emergency certificates is due to many teachers in the service not returning to their profession after being discharged; insuffici ent number ,pf trained teachers being turned out by Teachers col leges; and the large number of servicemen's wives quitting the profession as their husbands are released from the armed forces.
