The Vanishing Teacher - In the annual report of the National Education Association of the United States, there were several jolting subjects discussed. One of them was the modern school teacher. Since 1939, the review said, teachers leaving the profession have formed one of the greatest vocational migrations m our nation's history. The reason is simple. Teachers are not well enough paid. They never have been. In the early days of our educational efforts, teachers were forced to "beard around" at the homes of pupils because the salaries paid to them were mere pittances and there was no other occupation in which women could respectably engage. As late as 1870 the average salary of teachers was only $189 a year and in 1917 the average annual salary was $600. World War I was the first real competition to the teaching profession due to the number of occupations opening for women and men teachers finding permanent and more remunerative work outside of schools. It became easier to maintarn n normal standard of living for the families of men in industry or business. Thousands of teachers never returned to their prewar occupation in education. Naturally, there was a critical shortage of teachers during this period and it was met with higher salaries the only way it could be met. The average salaries of teachers doubled from 1917 to 1923. :' Wcrld War II with more highly .technical and scientific activities, and of longer duration, has made much severer demands upon education. The emergency now is many times greater than ever in the nation's history. It can be relieved enly by applying the method applied' after World War I. And unless that is recognized soon, the education of our children in this generation will be curtailed to the danger point. Universities and colleges report that only a fraction of the number of students formerly enrolled in teacher's courses are now studying for the profession. Of the 728,000 veterans enrolled in higher institutions under the G.I. Bill of Kijfhts, less than 18.000 of them are preparing to teach

NEW YORK (UP) A "levelling off" in business activity in 1947, with possible price drops, but not necessarily a general recession, is forecast in a survey bv editors of leading business
papers. The editors feel that despite the nation's basically sound economy and the unfilled wants for consumer goods, business and industry enter the new year facing an uncertain and confused pattern, in sharp contrast to the optimistic forecasts of a year ago. Growing consumer resistance to high prices, in the opinion of the National Conference of Business Paper Editors, will bring a general levelling-off in business activity. This shaking down in the price structure may be nothing more than a mild readjustment of an overgrown buyers' market. But, the business editors warn, failure to halt the wage-price spiral, prolonged strikes for higher payf which throttle production in key industries, and failure to maintain a high rate of manhour production may result in a serious business recession before
the end of the year. Consumer Goods to React The readjustment forecast for 1947 will be most noticeable in consumer goods, except heavy durables, and less noticeable in industrial raw materials and supplies. Those fields, it is predicted, will be bolstered by the . requirements of the home building and construction industry, which is not likely to be affected unless there is a sharp rise in labor and material costs. Regardless of the form the levelling-off develops readjustment or recession the business editors are Unanimous in their belief that any set-back will be of short duration. Once labormanagement problems are settled, permitting a steady flow of goods to bring about a balance between demand and supply, the commodity price structure will be firmly established on a highlevel plateau for a long period of prosperity. After a careful study of their respective fields, the editors t of the 130 business, trade and technical magazines affiliated- with
the Associated Business Papers, expressed their views in a survey conducted by the conference of editors. Those who participated in the
survey were almost evenly di
vided on whether there would be
a Dusiness set-back in 1947. A
slight majority expressed the view that the price structure, key
lacior in production, would in evitably level-off lareelv he.
