In addition to the normal demand for teachers each year, due to increasing enrollments, the new Elementary and Secondary Education Act will require hundreds of new teachers in Illinois. Demands for additional teachers are also forthcoming because of mandatory legislation requiring special education classes in all schools in Illinois by July 1, 1969. At the same time, the elementary and secondary schools of Illinois will be competing for teachers with the many new junior colleges being formed throughout the state. School districts developing such proposals are already proposing such prograrfis^as after school classes, Saturday classes, and summer school classes where they can utilize their existing personnel because of the lack of teachers. It is illogical to think that Illinois will attract very many teachers from other states, since they, too, are participating in the federally financed program. The Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities, (the largest single teacher preparation organization in the state) recently complied an enrollment analysis which shows 42,938 resident students at the institutions under its jurisdiction, compared with 39,100 a year ago. A total of 5,067 degrees were conferred in 1965 by the institutions under the Board of Governors. Tfie Northern Illinois university placement office received 20,000 notices of vacancies in educational fields applicable to their 1965 graduates. Western Illinois University reported 40^000 notices of vacancies received by its Bureau of Occupational Information and Placements -- an increase of 3,000 over last year. A preliminary report showed all 1965 graduates desiring employment were placed in teaching, business and industry, and "the demand for teachers in Illinois remained steady." There are three possible solutions which have been given to the pending teacher shortage: First, teacher qualifications could be lowered to make more people eligible to teach -- few people wish to see this happen. Second, salaries could be raised to attract people from the business world. Third, the framework of our present educational resources could be more efficiently organized to utilize our existing teachers and facilities. Few speeches are so short that you can remember the beginning. New evidence of archaeological developments throughout the world is presented in a book titled, "New Roads to Yesterday." Editor of this portrait of archaeology's broadening horizons is Joseph R. Caldwell, Ph.D., head curator of anthropology at the Illinois State Museum. In his introduction Dr. Caldwell surveys the current state of archaeological knowledge and points out that in some ways the prehistories of the old and new worlds are surprisingly similar.
