THE SUPPLY OF TEACHERS
SIR,—Much has been written in the Press lately about the desirabilit5 Of obtaining as quickly as possible an adequate supply Of the right type of teachers to enable the provisions of the Education Bill to be fully carried out. .
The present state of the war makes this provision more urgent than ever, and it 'would appear to those of us who are so keenly interested in this matter that the time has now come for art students to be allowed to continue, their studies at the universities in the same way as other branches of study. Further, there are a number of young men. at the universities who will shtirtly complete Service short courses. Amongst these are some who wish to train. as teachers after taking their degrees. Is it not possibly for the Ministry of Education to make the necessary arrangements with the Ministry Of Labour and National Service for these
men to carry on after their Service short coutses end - I would suggest that teaching will rank amongst. the highest forms of National Service, and it is imperative that steps be taken now if we are
to have the right men.—Yours faithfully, R. C. COUZENS. 6 Allison Grove, Dulwich, S.E. 21.
