“…A reappraisal of the educational system enabled the public to become aware of two crucial problems: (a) attracting sufficient young people into teaching in a period of acute shortage of trained manpower (1, 20,46,47,50,51,57,73,82) in all occupations that require advanced education and (b) keeping education from deteriorating (7, 20,38).

Education groped to find means of insuring quality of teaching for about 40 million students in schools and colleges despite a shortage of teachers, instructional facilities, and financial support. A reappraisal of the educational system enabled the public to become aware of two crucial problems: (a) attracting sufficient young people into teaching in a period of acute shortage of trained manpower (1,20,46,47,50,51,57,73,82) in all occupations that require advanced education and (b) keeping education from deteriorating (7,20,38). No easy answers were apparent, but it was clear that a quality program must rest upon planning and firm convictions rather than upon expediency (64).The assumption was rather widespread that because of expanding classes and possible erosion of quality, any failure to secure a desirable concert of effort and to undertake bold but functional procedures in teaching might deny many thousands of children their educational birthright (2,20).Scates (62) examined the data available on teacher supply and demand and cited a variety of factors which may improve the situation in the future. He identified several trends and positive signs on the horizon that made him optimistic concerning school and college staffing problems. He argued strongly against acceptance of recommendations (emerging from pilot projects) which would expand class size but which would remove the teacher from the children except for lesson presentations. 185
