Fyar.: High school boys and /iris: sre not eauer to enter the teaching profession. Pert of this is due to toe failure on the ;-<.rt of the community" to recog nise tne value of tnis profession. The community should encourage students to enter this field ty giving Eore recognition of leaders in this profession. Er.

There are so many things going on ~t*t ere good and re to not know enough about them,such as the excellent program by the Unirersity of Cklshoma celled "School of the Air Program." Our efforts can be so much better by reaching a greater number of people through telerislon. Cur ;TE/LTE HEPCZS EEFJEE hare been telerlsed. Fe can be helpful to people to put on a program b; telling them whet is available. A letter should be sent to the State superintendents asking them ahst they are doing about making provision for telerislon and radio in their State.
