Metropolitan Atlanta for example, has excess of qualified teachers. We suggest teachers accept an oppening in a city with a population. of 30,000 or less but they usually decline. "We never get 100% response to i our annual survey because systems that do not need personnel seldom respond to our survey." "Secondly then a future teacher enters college he often falls to in. quire about which field are In demand. Instead the student selects subjects which he enjoyed when at-, tending high school," Owens said., "Georgia has more han enough certitled teachers In social studies and English, but not enough elementary education, science and mathematics teachers. There is also ashortage of Industrial arts instructtors." "My office has had reports, that due to Federal court orders requiring the integration of all public school teaching staffs some teachers who have, another income are leave ing the teaching profession said Owens. The selective dragt boards take many, of the Stated young male teachers each summer for compulsory military service. Owens added. Superintendent Nix said certifies teach are willing to accept a position, this lad other than in major cities should contact Paul S. Goethe, cordinator teacher recruitment. Geor gla.
