The blunt fact is that unless we do some thing drastic-and
immediately-to relieve the teacher shortage a whole generation of
American boys and girls will be short-changed in their right to
obtain a fundamental education. The thinner you stretch your available
teaching staff to cover the unprecedented and inexorably increasing
enrollments in our public schools, the less chance there is for a
teacher to do a competent job of teaching. It is the child who
inevitably suffers. And when the child suffers, the Nation suffers.
*By Earl James McGrath, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Federal
Security Agency, Washington, D. C., on "Teacher Shortage, " to
New York Times, January 1952.
