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.
