School Shortage Is - Reported Critical WASHINGTON (UP) — When Johnny trudges home from his. first day at school next month, his mother will ask, “How were things at school today” and Johnny will reply, as he heads for the icebox, “Oh, about the same as last year.” However frustrating Johnny’s answer may be to a mother’s curiousity, it will be a fairly accurate summary of the situation in America's public and parochial schools as they begin the new fall term. The shortages of qualified teachers and classroom space which hampered the schools last year will be "just as bad and probably worse” this year, according to Dr. William G. Carr, executive secretary of the National Education Assn. , Dr. Lawrence G. Derthick, commissioner of education, said elementary school enrollment is expected to reach an all-time peak of 30,670,000 children, an increase of 959,000 over last year. High school enrollment will be 8,424,000, up 804,000 from last year » f The increased enrollment will more than offset the progress achieved during the past year in building new classrooms and training new teachers, according to Dr. Ray Maul, assistant research director of the NEA. More Overcrowding “There is every indication that we will have more overcrowding this year, and A much larger number of children attending half-day sessions,” said MauL About 245,000 children were on half-day sessions in the 1956-57 school year. Maul thinks the figure will be close to 400,000 this fall. Other thousands of children will get a full' day’s schooling but in classes that are swollen far beyond the limit of 35 students which educators consider a maximum for effective teaching. Derthick said preliminary figures indicate that public and private schools have signed up 1,262,100 fully qualified teachers for the coming year. He said schools i estimated their actual need for teachers at 1,397,100, leaving a deficit of 135,000. Last year’s shortage was about 120,000. Maul said the key word in all discussions of the teacher shortage is “qualified.’’ i .
