INDIANA'S ‘GRIST MILL’ FOR TEACHERS IS CURTAILED BY HARDSHIPSJF DEPRESSION Cry of Columbia Export to Reduce Staffs of Schools Finds an Echo Here; Reduction Not Planned. BY JAMES DOSS Tub** SUIT Writer Curtailment of “grist mill production” of teachers is | Under way in Indiana, although the decrease apparently is self-motivated and not due to an intentional educational program mapped by the state’s normal schools. This was the statement today of Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, in commenting on the demand of Professor K. S. Lvenden of Columbiia university, for a 20 per cent reduction in teacher “production” all

over the country. The Columbia educational expert voiced his opinion in making public a three-year survey of the federal education bureau on teacher training facilities throughout the country. Professor Evrndcn recommended that institution* for educating ! teachers immediately reduce “capacity” to 80 per cent. •“There is an oversupply of teach- I ers in such numbers as to be profesionally demoralizing alike to employed and unemployed,” Professor Evcnden asserted. The condition referred to by the ! Columbia educator is typical of the j overproduction that has occurred in many professions and his thought, is consistent with the ideas heard in many educational and other proprofessional meetings, Mr. McMurray believes. Mere License Holders "Remember, however." Mr. McMurray said, "that there is a great turnover of teachers annually and many listed as teachers merely hold a license. Many have not taught for years nor contemplate teaching again. "There has been no recent study made in Indiana to determine the number of eligible unemployed teachers who not only hold a license but also are well qualified.” Mr. McMurray said there have been decreases in enrollment at the state normal schools, but, he believes, this has been due principally *o the depression and not to a program to curtail enrollment. The low point in teacher activity was reached in 1931-32 when the number of employed teachers dropped 1.668 from 24,497 in the previous year to 22.829. A gradual picking up in teacher

employment has been due to the bettered financial condition in which most state school corporations find themselves, Mr. Murray said. "Everywhere, school superintendents report their finances in greatly improved circumstances,” he asserted. "I talked to one man the other day whose county seat school corporation closed its books last year with 8100. This year, that same corporation will have a balance of more than 830.000.” Normal School Suffers Cut At least one state normal school has gone the Columbia university expert 3 per cent better on his lowered "production’ ’estimate. President Ralph Tirev of Indiana State Teachers’ college. Terre Haute, said enrollment there has decreased 23 per cent over that of the previous year. Mr. Tirey asserted there is a feeling among the more progressive educators of Indiana that some l technique should be developed [ whereby the normal schools could have a better control over their I production” as Professor Evenden ' has termed it. Schools Are Helples* Such methods followed thus far. * according to Mr. Tirev, consist of encouragement to the most promisi ing of potential teacher material J and discouragement to those appar- ! cntly less fitted. The schools are helpeLss at pres--1 ent, Mr. Tirey explained, in rejec- ; tion of teacher candidates and thereby in handling the "produc- ! tion” problem. Such rejections, he I pointed out, can be made only for cause, such as health or morals, if the candidate has the required educational preparation. The technique which should be developed, according to Mr. Tirey, should take cognizance of the personal characteristics of the potential candidate who is unfiitted temperamentally to teach.
