ya education, September 11, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 37 MOST GRADE TEACHERS IN STATE QUALIFIED Cook County Has Only 1.69 Per Cent Who Failed in Tests, Says Washburne This month nearly 44,000 teachers in Illinois are beginning their work with about 1,400,000 children in 12,000 school districts, writes Carleton W. Washburne, superintendent of Win- netka schools. The quality of work «done is extremely important to these children and to the future of the state itself and will depend largely upon the professional training, and previous experience of the teachers. Most of the teachers are qualified and will do good work; but a few have had no education beyond the eighth grade, and many of them have never gone beyond the high school and have had no professional training. The public is beginning to under- stand that professional training is im- portant for teachers as well as for lawyers and physicians. But some peo- ple who would not think of employing a mere high school graduate to defend property rights in court or to perform a delicate surgical operation on a child's skull, still employ inexperienced young people with little education and no special training to try to perform that most delicate and important oper- ation of developing what is in the skull into mind character and soul. The new school fund apportionment law divides teachers into classes ac- cording to training. Class A contains those who are graduates of two-year courses at the State Normal Schools, or their equivalent; Class B contains those with thirty-six weeks, or one year, of training; Class C, those with eighteen weeks of training; and those without training are said to be unclas- sified. According to the official reports in 1925, there were great inequalities in the distribution of Class A teachers. Of 1,103 rural teachers reported from per cent were in Class A. But in this same superior class were 1529 per cent of the grade teachers in small vil- lage schools; 59.69 per cent in cities of 5,000 to 10,000 population; 78.42 per cent of the 5,463 elementary teachers in the fifty-two cities of over 10,000 population (excluding Chicago); and 96 per cent of the 9,010 full-time elementary teachers in Chicago. Lake county had 71.36 per cent of its grade teachers in Class A; but Johnson county had only 2.22 per cent in this class. Cook county had only 1.69 per cent that were unable to classify; but Bond county had 68.85 per cent with insufficient training to classify.
