Because of the fact that the population of our nation is growing more rapidly today than ever before, the educational institutions throughout the country are confronted with increasingly difficult problems concerning the education of our youth. Not only are most of our physical plants overflowing with students, but there is a vital shortage of good teachers to teach them. Some have said, “Raise the teachers’ wages and you’ll fill your teacher needs.” True, teachers’ salaries are considerably below what they should be in comparison with many other professions, but raising their salaries alone will not solve the problem. It is certain that industry and government would raise their salaries to keep valuable men and lure them back from teaching.
