Shortage Of Trained Personnel
Number 1 Need Says U.S. Office
The Nations most critical education 
problem is the recruitment,
preparation, retraining, and retention 
of equality personnel to staffits 
schools and colleges.
This is the chief finding of the
first Federal assessment of education 
manpower needs, a summary
or which was made public today
by the U. S. office of Education.
Conducted at the mandate of the
Congress, the study seriously challenges 
the validity of recent predictions 
that the shortage of classroom 
personnel is easing.
There will continue to be a shortage 
not only of teachers but of all
kinds of educational personnel at
all levels from nursery schools
through the institutions that prepare 
teachers and teachers of
teachers, the report finds.
While a number of promising
training and retraining programs
in school systems and colleges are
cited, thereport warns that these
are insufficient in both quantity
to meet current and future needs.
The last major document prepared 
by Commissioner of Eduucation 
Harold Howe II before his
resignation, the study is the first
annual assessment of the eduucation 
professions required under
the Eduucation Professions Development 
Act of 1967. Purpose of the
assessment is to provide a comprehensive, 
base for long-range planning 
at all levels of education.
Pointing to ever-increasing demands 
on education — the movement 
toward individualized instrucation 
and early childhood education, 
increased services such as
guidance and counseling the
growth of two-year community colleges, 
improved vocational programs, 
the expansion of opportunities 
for the handicapped, and special 
efforts to meet the needs of
the disadvantaged—the study examiners 
corresponding personnel
needs.
Added expectations for education, 
it states, require not only mere
and better prepared teachers, but
also additional and more competent 
administrators, auxiliary, and
support personnel. In fact, the report 
states, "the very word TEACHER 
as we now define it will be
inadequate to describe the variety
of people and skills we will need to
serve our schools."
"Extensive cooperative efforts among 
school systems, the communities 
they serve, and institutions 
of higher learning arc seen
as essential of the preparation of

school personnel is to match job
requirements.
In a statement describing the
conditin of today's schools, the
study says, "We are asking our
schools to compensate for past
social injustice, to ameliorate the
effects of rapid social change, and
to improve upon their performance
of traditional academic functions
— a combination of requirements
that is straining the resources of
our educational system to the
breaking point."
The report discusses progress
made in curriculum improvement,
innovative, teaching practices, and
better training, but adds, "we
must recognize that the majority
of our children have not been affected 
by these improvements."
Nothing that the number of people 
training to become teachers is
steadily on the increase, the report 
says we must "face thefact
that turning out more graduates
who are qualified Ho teach does
not necessarily add to the supply of
qualified educators.
Schools today face stiff competition 
in their search for people of
ability, and teacher dropouts are a
indicative of our educational problems 
as are student dropouts. In
our service-oriented economy, it is
exactly those interpersonal Skills
and communications talents possessed 
by the good teacher that
are mot in demand in other sectors
of the economy; those who have
acquired such skill's can often command 
higher salaries than in
teaching.'"
Among the reasons the reportcites 
for education's failure to attract 
and hold quality personnel
are: the rigid salary structure, the
lack of meaningful opportunity for
advancement, little involvement by
teachers in the decision-making
process, and the depressing character 
of existing teacher training
programs.
Future heeds, as cited by the report, 
demand a more efficient utiization 
of staff, with aides end
asistants taking on routine duties
while teachers operate at various
professional levels — interns, staff
teachers, and master teachers.
Such differentiated staffing, says
the study, "presents' a challenge to
the present system of teacher education. 

It suggests, for one thing, that a
college education might not be the
only route to a teaching career;
that a variety, of systems, timetables, 
and entry points might be
provided for teacher preparation;
and that many of our population
might contribute to, as well as
benefit from, the education of
young people.
We will clearly need to develop
new alliances among community,
school, and university in order to
develop and train educational
personnel who can meet the challenges 
of such systems in the
future."
As an example of such new arrangements, 
the report points to
the report points to the Teacher
Corps, a nationwide effort to improve 
the education of children
from low income families. The
Corps is a teacher internship program 
that has grown into a promising 
model for teacher recruitment
and education. Schools on poverty
areas local universities, and community 
participants are involved in
its operations.
The assessment summary serves
as an introduction to a longer
more complex document scheduled
to be published within the next
few months. A more complete analysis 
of the study appears in the
forthcoming February issue of
AMERICAN EDUCATION, monthly 
magazine of the U. S. Office of
Education.

Malcolm X Believed U.S. Would
Have Killed Hint, Widow Says
Mrs. Betty Shabazz, 
widow of Malcolm X, said today 
that that her husband predict
ed his own death at the hands of
U. S. Government because of what
he knew.
In an interview appearing in the
current issue of LOOK magazines,
the woman whose husband has become 
a martyr of the black revolution 
said:
"I believe what Malcolm told me,
he believed, after careful analysis,
that the Government would have
him killed, but would use the
Black Muslims (as killers) because
of the friction between himself and
them.
"He learned some things the
Government did not want him to
know."
Two Black Muslims and a third
man have been sentenced to life
imprisonment for gunning Malcolm 
in New York's Audubon Ballroom 
in 1965, after he left the
movement to build one of his own.
Although some observers feel that
Malcolm's last days raise a promise
of racial integration, his widow
said that it would not work.
"Blacks have been trying to integrate 
for nearly four centuries,"
she declared in Look, "and they
have failed. Integration has failed.
We have been forced into separate
neighborhoods and separate lives,
and now, we have to go our own
way.
"Now, we blacks are going to rule
ourseleves ........"
One of five widows of top leaders
or sympathizers in the cause of
black liberation killed by gunfire
in the 1960's Mrs. Shabazz said
she favors gun control—— "especially 
the control of guns in
white hands."
"Historically," she added, "the
white man never wanted blacks to
learn the use of guns for fear of
a slave rebellion. And yet, what
God ever decreed that whites could
have guns, but blacks could not?"

Do's And Don'ts

The Time to Teach Him Neatness ... Is Now!

Wisconsin U.
Gets Bayonets
For Students
National Guardsmen with fixed
bayonets moved-back onto the University 
of Wisconsin campus today 
to deal with a fresh invasion
of chanting stomping student rebels. 

There had been hopes the
guardsmen, called out last week to
put the lid on student disruptions,
could be sent home today. But they
were needed again when 35 noisy
dissidents invaded Bascom Hall
and began to disrupt classes.
At an equally tense campus,
striking students and professors at
San Francisco State College sought
to circumvent an enrollment check
system on the opening day of the
spring semester.
Elsewhere, a group calling itself
the "Steering Committee to Reform 
for University" presented a
list of demands it called nonnegotiable 
to officials of Pennsylvania 
State University.
At the University of Notre
Dame Scene of disruptions 10 days
ago, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh 
the school's president, laid
down a "get tough" policy which
will allow demonstrators only
minutes to disband or face suspension, 
expulsion or arrest.
"Violators will be given 15
minutes of meditation to cease and
desist." Father Hesburgh's letter to
the students and faculty of the
Roman Catholic school said.
The Wisconsin rebels pressing a
list of demands for black students,
rallied a crowd of 1.3 early today
at which one ringleader told them,
"We've been too pacifist, too naive.
We're going to change our tactics."
Then the band sent out for Bascom 
Hall considered the heart of
the lakefront campus. Police in
riot gear and holding clubs met
them, but did not try to restrain
the marchers.
At San Francisco State, acting
President S. I. Hayakawa ordered
that registration cards must be
signed by both students and
faculty members on the first day
of classes to guarantee their status
at the school.
While a handful of striking
teachers picketed the main enterance 
most of the 25 striking professors 
met with their classes. A
leaflet issued by the American
Federation of Teachers said, "Our
members shall establish their classes 
by meeting the first and only
the first section of each course."
A bomb which could be heard
for several miles shattered 18 windows 
in the school's administration
building Sunday.
At Duke University, a negotiation 
session between administration 
officials and Negro students
eased tensions.


NEW YORK, N.Y.—One of the
charter members of the United Negro 
College Fund and a member
of the Fund for. 25 years, Hampton 
Institute, is resigning its
membership, it was announced
jointly today by Dr. Jerome H.
Holland, president of Hampton,
and Dr. Stephen J. Wright, president

Fund.
At the same time Dr. Wright
announced the election of Voorhees 
College, Denmark, South Carolina, 
to the Fund.
In submitting Hamption's resignation, 
Dr. Holland said that
"Hampton has enjoyed and greatly 
benefited from its long time
membership in the Fund."
"While we regret Hampton's
leaving," Dr. Wright said, "we
realize that Hampton is a strong
institution - and has 'come of age'
in its fund raising. We are also
proud to welcome Voorhees into

membership."
Voorhees College achieved accreditation 
by the Southern. Association 
of Colleges and Secondary
Schools last December and approval 
from the United Negro College 
Fund as of February 10. This
institution was founded in 1897
by Elizabeth Wright a young
graduate of Tuskegee, with one
teacher, 14 students, a borrowed
bell and two chairs over an old
store, given rent-free.
Today, 72 years later. Voorhees
as a student body of approximately
800, offers degrees in the arts and
sciences, business administration,
elementary and secondary education. 

Voorhees became a Junior College 
in 1929, and a Senior College
in 1962. The campus consists of
350 acres and its plant its valued
at more than $3,000,000. Dr. John
F. Potts is president of Voorhees
College.

VEEP Kept Abreast Of
President's Action
Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew said
Saturday he is kept fully informed
it President Nixon's major actions,
and added he was "enthused"
about their relations after nearly
a month in office.
Agnew said ... I have been
kept fully informed of every important 
step he takes. You can't
believe how much easier this mates
the discharge of the vice presidents 
duties.
"I'm just enthused about his
attitude toward giving me responsibilities 
which must be given thevice 
president if the President is
to have some breathing space to
function in the decision areas he
must," Agnew added.


"I want to let people know
that the President didn't just indicate 
in words that he was going to
bring me in and to mate me 
deputy president, so to speak, because 
I have been participating,
not only in meetings of the National 
Security Council, but the
Urban Affairs Council that's been
created, the Economic Affairs

Council," Agnew said.
Agnew said he was doing a lot
of listening we rather than talking.
He said "out or the first meetings, 
and we have been meeting
as frequently as twice a week for
other protracted sessions, came to
me a sense of great security and
confidence that in the area of foreign 
relations that professionals
in, our government are extremely
competent and know what they
are doing."

He added that the objectives I
the National Security Council are
compatible, with world peace and
"human dignity for all peoples."
We have the people in the professional 
categories in the State
Departments in the" CIA (Central
Intelligence Agency an din the
military who have the professional
knowledge to work together to

acieve those objectives," Agnew
commented.
Agnew, who has been assigned
to oversee federal-state local activities, 
said nothing is more important 
in government than that
these three levels are working together. 

"I. think the idea of centralizing 
this in one person, the vice
presdent is a good idea," he commented. 
"I also think because of
my experience in the three levels,
it becomes easier for me to coordinate 
it."
