knight, "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," highlighted the spring calendar at Teachers College.

Capacity crowds viewed two evening per­formances April 24 and 25, with some 800 con­ference delegates attending a special matinee April 26.

Directed by Hazel B. Strayer and Stanley Wood, the Elizabethan comedy featured a replica of London's Globe theater, an array of colorful costumes and a succession of side­splitting scenes.

The play, written in the traditional five acts of the period, is by Beaumont and Fletcher.

The Brindley debate and discussion tourna­ment, scheduled for February 7 and 8, was cancelled because of severe weather.

In intercollegiate compettuon, Teachers College students participated in tournaments at the University of Nebraska's Intercollegiate Discussion and Debate Conference, February 28, the Northwest Debate Tournament at St. Thomas College, St. Paul, Minn., March 10, and the annual state tournament of the Foren­sic Association of Iowa Colleges, March 14. A trip to the national Tourney of Delta Sigma Rho, honorary forensic fraternity, April 10, completed the debate calendar.

* Dr. Kolb Recommends Action

"ADULT EDUCATION, LIKE ANY other form of education, must get into action. We can't simply sit around talking about our problems"

Such was the stand of Dr. J. H. Kolb, professor of rural sociology at the University of Wisconsin, speaking at the one-day Adult Education Conference on the Teachers Col­lege campus March 13.

He advocated a four-fold program to im­prove rural and midwestern living.

( 1) "We need more housing for our fam­ilies and we need to keep the farms in the hands of those who operate them.

(2) "We need more children, not simply to repopulate farms, but children have a very definite role in keeping families happy and in developing personality.

(3) "We need a much greater sense of well­being, not only in relation to health but in the whole field of emotional and spiritual va lues.

( 4) "We need more and better social service agencies down at the community level."

Representatives of Farm Bureau groups, public schools, libraries, agricultural extension services and PTA groups attended the one-day meeting.

Alumni Will Have Their Day, May 25, 1947 BIGGEST DAY O F THE YEAR for Teachers

college alumni - especially for new mem­bers of the Half-Century Club - will be

Sunday, May 25, the day of the an­nual alumni re­union.

Eligible f o r membership in the Half Century Club are members of the class of 1897. Special in­vitations for the event have been dispatched to the

97 living members, 37 of whom reside in Iowa. All who attend the reunion will receive a gold medal, shown in the accompanying photograph.

Any graduate who is a member of a class which dates its departure from the campus 50 or more years ago may receive one of the medals if he or she is present at the reunion .

An innovation will be the presentation of a special award to those graduates returning for their 60th anniversary. A gold pendant locket or watch chain charm, showing the Teachers College seal, has been designed for the occasion.

As The Alumnus goes to press, three "alums" have indicated that they will be on hand to receive this new award. They include Mrs. Heath Yewell (Estella Reuillard), El. '78, of Spokane, Wash., Dr. James Alderson, B.Di. '87 of Dubuque, and Brig. Gen. George H. McManus, B.Di. '87 of Cambridge, Mass.

A silver anniversary celebration is on the agenda for 396 members of the class of 1922. Other classes, whose numerals end in "2" or "7" are also eligible for special reunions of their own this year. Class representatives are urged to make arrangements in advance by writing the Alumni Office.

Alumni da y will open with registration and

informal visi ting in the main lounge of the Commons from 9: 30 a. m. until noon.

Feature of the morning program will be the Baccalaureate service. The sermon will be given by Elton Trueblood, professor of phil­osophy at Earlham College, Richmond, Ind. The time is 10: 30 a. m., and the place, the college auditorium.

Highlight of the entire day will be the "down-the-line" Alumni-Faculty dinner at 12:30 p. m. in the Commons. President Mal­colm Price will present medals to new mem­bers of the H alf-Century Club, as part of ilie program. ·

"All alumni are, of course, welcome to at­tend the dinner," said A. C. Fuller, director of Alumni Affairs, "but reservations must be made in advance by contacting the Alumni O ffice." The address: Alumni Office, 204 Gilchrist Hall, Cedar Falls, Iowa.

The newest members of the alumni family, the class of 1947, will likewise be honored at the conclusion of the spring quarter.

Members of the graduating class will be guests at the President's Reception, Sunday, May 18, from 7 to 10 p. m. The semi-formal Commencement Dinner Party will be May 23.

The Commencement exercises will be Tues­day, May 27, at 7: 30 p. m. in the auditorium. Dr. Karl F. Robinson, chairman of the de­partment of speech education at Northwestern University, will be the principal speaker.

Miss Campbell Flies to Guate mala

Miss SADIE B. CAMPBELL, dean of women at Teachers College, took to the airlanes, January 28, for a five-week trip to Guatemala

and Mexico.

Flying from D es Moines to New Orleans and nex t to Guatema­la City, she made daily excurs10ns to picturesque, outlying towns. Among other things, she saw the ruined cities of U xmal and

Dean Campbe ll Chicken-ltza, the

hemp fie lds bordering Merida, Yucatan, and Lake Atitlan, the "bluest blue lake" in the world.

Favorite visi ting headquarters were the Guatemalian market places where the Indians wou ld carefully lay out their products, be they calla lilies, onions or prize pigs.

As all vacations come to an end, Miss Campbell soon found herself on a plane again - this time bound for Mexico. And before she knew it, she had arrived back at Cedar Falls-just in time for advance registration for the spring quarter!

* Students Discuss Relig ion

TEACHERS CoLLEGE STUDENTS CoNsmERED a va riety of subjects - ranging from methods of pra yer to drinking, smoking and smooching - at the annual Religious Emphasis Week, February 2 to 7 inclusive.

Ten visiting theologians, wri ters and lec­turers led five days of round tables, lectures and qu estion-and-answer periods. Among them we re the Rev. Bryan S . W. Green of the

Holy Trinity Church of London, Professor G . Baez Camargo, of Mexico City, Edward G . Carroll, N egro theologian, and Mrs. Anna B. Mow, Bethany Biblical Seminary instructor and former missionary.

The week, which followed the theme, "A N ew Axis," was arranged by Dr. Vernon Bo­dein, director of the Bureau of Religious Ac­tivities, and a student-faculty committee of 100 members. Student chairman were Richard Simpson of Webster City and Margaret Lo­gan of Ruthven.

THE YEAR'S MosT GLAMOROUS occasion, the O ld Gold Beauty Dance, was the high­light of the winter quarter at Teachers College.

Four hundred form­ally-dressed coeds and their escorts crowded the Commons dance floor, February 15, to hear the rhythms of Don Simpson and his orchestra. And just b e f o r e intern1ission

came the announce­men ts they had been awaiting - the names

of the "most popular" and the "most beauti­ful" students.

Beauty honors went to four coeds: Shirley Jarman of Guthrie Center, Dorothy Moore of Marshalltown, Norma Mackin and Shirley Nelson, both of Des Moines. The first three beauties were selected by the student body in a campus-wide election January 22, and the fourth "surprise" was chosen from coed dan­cers by orchestra leader Simpson.

The beauties ( all brunettes this year), car­rying bouquets. of American beauty roses, were presented against a backdrop of black velvet and within a large, gilt-edged picture frame. The artistic result simulated an artist applying the finishing touches to the portraits of four lovely ladies. Bill Eells of Cedar Falls, attired in smock and beret, portrayed the painter.

Men students took the honors in the popu­larity contest, winning three places out of four. Winners in this contest, popularly elected by the students, were James Maetzold, Red Wing, Minn., Earl Schramm, Hutchinson, Minn., Bruce McQuigg, Schaller, Iowa, and Charlotte Rashid, Fort Madison, Iowa. Pictures of the eight students will appear in the Old Gold, student yearbook, which sponsored the contests.

Don Henry of Waterloo served as master of ceremonies for the presentation ceremony. The grand march was led by Richard Simp­son of Webster City, Iowa, editor of the Old Gold, and his dancing partner, Miss Lois Bare of Independence, Iowa. Don Goslin of Clarion, business manager of the Old Gold, was 111

charge of dance arrangements.

Presenting "A Day In the Life of a Teacher 11

FoR THE GrnL WITH sparkle, warmth, and intelligence there can be plenty of glamour in teaching. What's more, she doesn't have to be a prudish fuss-budget.

The color movie, "A Day in the Life of a Teacher," produced by the Bureau of Publications, prove this premise.

Directed by George H. Holmes and photo­graphed by Or. E. L. Ritter, the picture is now being shown throughout the state to high school seniors, vocational guidance classes and Parent­Teacher groups.

Using streamlined Stewart School in Wash­ington, Ia., for its setting, "A Day in the Life of a Teacher" features Jean Westphal, El. '37, in the leading role. The film takes the spec­tator through a day with an attractive, suc­cessful kindergarten teacher.

The film opens as Jean drowsily awakes to the alarm clock's tinkle. At school, she leads the kindergarteners in their day's activi­ties. The youngsters tell stories, make fur­niture, paint wagons, sew aprons, sing songs, and swing on their outdoor playground.

Playing the "second lead" in the picture is Mary Frances Womboldt of Red Oak, a senior music student at Teachers College. She

is the third-grade teacher friend of Jean. The film does not limit itself to class room

activities of the leading lady. After school hours, Jean goes out on a dancing date, takes a dip in the "Y" pool, plays bridge with the girls, bowls, and in general has a good time, like any other young "career girl."

The movie was "premiered," a la Holly­wood, in its birthplace, Washington. Those who articipated in its making were honored at a e .

The program which followed featured Her­bert V. Hake, Teachers College radio director, as master of ceremonies and President Mal­colm Price as principal speaker.

The 800 ft., 16 mm. film is available, free of charge, for high school showings. Requests should be addressed to the Bureau of Publi­cations, Iowa State Teachers College.

EYE-CATCHING PosTERS · ON CAMPUS pre­sented a perplexing query early in the winter quarter. "Are you eligible for TCBC?" they read.

For days, Teachers College students and faculty members pondered the probable mean­ing of the new alphabetical rhyme, which sig­sified the birth of a new campus orgamza­tion.

The secret was out on the evening of De­cember 14 when the Teachers College "Ball and Chain Club" held its first get-together. Appropriately, only married students and their spouses were eligible for TCBC.

The first shindig was the Spouses' Spree, an informal party in the women's gymnasium, · followed a few weeks later by a carnival, com­plete with barker, bingo, dance pavilions, gyp­sies and seances.

A shocking time was had by all at the seance, where the patrons formed a circle and grasped hands. Everyone was silently waiting for the "message", when suddenly the

lights flicked off, and an electric shock jolted the handclaspers.

Officers for the TCBC are Mrs. Russell Bush, president, Colburn Collinge, vice-presi­dent, and Mrs. Chet Williams, secretary.

Making it possible for many students to attend TCBC functions was another fledgling organization, the "Baby Sitters" club ..

The community service commission of the Student Christian Association set up a baby­tending program, offering "sitters" free of charge to student parents requesting such service.

Written requests for sitters must be made two days in advance by dropping the com­munication in the sitters' mailbox. If the request can be fulfillecl (and the group's per­centage runs very high), a notice is placed on the bulletin board informing the parents.

Pleased sponsor of both groups is Dr. Ver­non Bodein, director of religious activities, who says, "The success of one group seems to de­pend on the other."

Miss Rolf Writes Book LovERS OF POETRY WILL BE interested m

the little book of verse, "Out of the Night," published recently by Miss Ida C. Rohlf, for many years a member of the English staff of Iowa State Teachers College.

When complimented on the beauty of tht cover, the quality of the paper and the print­ing, Miss Rohlf said that because of the dedi­cation of the book, she had resolved that it must have a fitting format. The dedication reads:

"To honor the memory of

My Father and Mother

who loved beauty

and revered truth."

Following the title poem, which reveals that many of the ideas for her work came to her ir-. sleepless nights, are a series of poetic gems which challenge the imagination and stir the memory. Miss Rohlf is not a poet talking to herself, but she is sharing with others her poignant observations.

Many of her poems have the mellowed gray tints of a family portrait, while others are as full of color as a technicolor motion picture. One can find every shade and hue in her lines.

Her aim, I am sure, has been poetic sim­plicity, but some of the works are filled with compound emotions. She has accomplished a true balance of fact and imagination which is indeed pleasing to the reader.

In this little volume are poems of love, war, sacrifice, nature, home, and grief. While one feels that its contents are a personal mat­ter, yet there is a finer edge to them. Their thoughts are not a private meditation, but are the author's gift to all of us.- By Mrs. Malcolm Price.

Wife of Faculty Me mbe r Dies

MRs. SELMER C. LARSON, wife of the Teachers College faculty member, died March 24, 1947. Dr. Larson is a professor of education.

Born Lulu V. Osmundson in Forest City,

Iowa, she was married to Dr. Larson July 2, 1914. She is survived by her husband, a son, Robert Larson of Des Moines, and a daugh­ter, Mrs. Willis McMichael, Cedar Falls, and six granddaughters.

faculty members was announced late in the spring quarter.

They include Marion Roose, social director of the Commons, James J. DeJonge, assistant professor of music, and Forrest Mayer, assis­tant professor of business education. All resig­nations are effective at the end of the summer quarter.

Miss Roose resigned to accept a Lydia C. Roberts fellowship for a year's study at Columbia University. Mr. DeJonge goes to his alma mater, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, as an associate professor of voice, Mr. Mayer has accepted a post in the business education department at Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Ind.

A Teachers College alumna, Margaret Gray Fullerton, B.A. '25, has been appointed assistant cataloger in the college library. She is the daughter of the late C. A. Fullerton, a long­time member of the Teachers College faculty .

College faculty since 1917, died April 18, 1947, at the age of 71. He had been an assistant professor of natural sciences in the Extension Service, retiring in 1946 with emeritus standing.

Born in Battle Creek, Mich., he received his B.A. degree from Albion College, Albion, Mich., and his M.S. dgree from Iowa State College.

He is survived by his wife and one son, Murrey, an instructor at Iowa State College; one brother, John E. Fuller of Albion, Mich.; and two sisters, Inez L. Fuller of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Elwood Smoll of Wichita, Kan. One son, John, died in 1944 while serv­ing with the armed forces.

artists may be as exciting as the one who had to accept the services of a highway patrolman

to flag a train, but Dr. Leland Sage, profes­sor of history, wouldn't swap his position as

lecture-concert series chairman for any other

committee in the world. There are moments of suspense connected

with such a post, of course, such as the time when tenor James Melton almost missed his

train which was to enable him to perform a

very important engagement in Detroit the next

night.

Dr. Sage had deposited Mr. Melton and

accompanist safely, he thought, in the lobby

of the Black Hawk Hotel, there to await

train time. Mr. Melton called a taxi and waited

hopefully, then impatiently. A highway patrol­

man, loitering in the lobby, came to his res­cue and raced to the station-just in time

to see the train leaving. Undaunted, he suc­

cessfully flagged the train, and Mr. Melton

kept his "date" the next night.

Dr. Sage is assisted by five presidential ap-

pointees, including Dean Sadie B. Campbell,

Dr. Edward Kurtz, Dr. V. P. Bodein, and a representative from both the Women's League

and Men's Union. This year's members are

Mary Frances Womboldt of Red Oak, and

Gene I. Beilke of Wapello.

With the aid of this committee, Dr. Sage

starts planning in the spring of each year

the number and types of artists and lecturers

that will be programmed during the following

academic year. The committee also outlines

many of the college's assembly programs.

In deciding which national lecturers and

artists are to be contracted for, the commit­tee members rely on recommendations from

the representatives of management companies,

from faculty members and outsiders, and on

their own concert-going experiences.

Sometimes Dr. Sage wishes that he could

arrange to have another "Twelfth Night"

performance by the Chekhov Players. He would

rate their performance the best single number

in the en tire history of the series. ( Continued on poge twelve)

<'/lie PANTHER PARADE By Bob McGronohon

THE GREATEST ARRAY of track talent ever to appear at the Teachers college relays braved the rain and chilly wind to establish two new records and

tie two others. The 24th annual classic, a t1vo­day ttffair for the first time this year, drl?1l, 949 athletes from 35 high schools and 17 colleges.

Drake's Jim Gehrdes, and Carleton's Jerry Shean, set new marks in the high hurdles, and high jump, respectively. Bob Brown, Ft. Dodge, tied the high school mark in the high hurdles, and Grinnell's John Bonyata equalled the college 100-yard dash record . Coach Arthur D . Dickinson's thinclads captured four events, the shot, discus, javelin, and 440-yard relay.

Dave McCuskey's wrestling team stole the show at the national grappling meet, winning three individual titles, a feat accomplished by no other entry. They finished second, however, tr, Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, with 19 and 32 points respectively.

The Panthers went to the N.C.A.A. tour­ney at Champaign, Ill., without the services of Gerald "Germ" Leeman, defending 128-pound champion, who was sidelined with a torn rib cartilage.

Bill Koll, Ft. Dodge, successfully defended his title in the 14 5 pound bracket, scarcely being "touched" by any of his foes. Russell Bush, runner-up in the 136-pound class a year ago, moved down a notch to become champ in the 128 pound division.

LECTURE-CONCERT SERIES ( Continued from page nine)

This does not mean, however, that D . Sage is disappointed with the calibre of artis s signed for Teachers College appearances. ~e believes, instead, that the committee is schd:1-uling more and better entertainers each yelr.

There is one disappointment, however, )in Dr. Sage's mind when he speaks of ticket sell­ing. He cannot understand why college stu­dents are so "disinterested" in the whole field of good music and speakers.

"Did you know," he asked, "that one third of the student body is a high percentage to classify as ticket buyers?"

There is also what is known as a ticket sea­son. Never again will the committee schedule a symphony concert in December. "People have too many other things on their minds," Dr. Sage explains.

Any rumor to the effect that artists must be temperamental or they're not artists, Dr. Sage would also explode.

"I've seen nothing of John Barrymore's temperament in any that have visited Teachers College," he said.

As for classifying himself, Dr. Sage says that he is only an amateur musician, but he does love music. Add to this an interest in politics and current affairs, and there is little doubt that Teachers College has a lecture­concert series leader.

•These youngste rs hove o Teachers College alumnus, Carlton W . Lytle, B.A. ' 34, as th eir pr incipal. The school is the Bremer School in Minneapolis, Minn . In the accompany ing article , Miss Merna Peterson explains why more men ore needed in such positions.

More Men Teachers Are Needed In Schools THE INTERMEDIATE GRADES IN THE na­

tion's schools are in need of more better trained

teachers-particularly men, according to Miss

Marna Peterson, principal of the Campus

Elementary School. "There are some things in a man's world

which are lacking in the intermediate grade

teaching program if we have only women

teachers," Miss Peterson declares.

"Just as in the home, where we have the

guidance of a father and a mother, so do the schools need well trained teachers of both

sexes." Calling the fourth, fifth and sixth grades

" the forgotten grades" of America's schcol ,

Miss Peterson explains that for years the

weakest and poorest prepared teachers have

entered the intermediate field. "This is because many teachers are afraid

of the advanced methods required in primary

grade work. Many also avoid junior high

and senior high school grades because of dif­

ficult subject matter. The tendency, then, is

for them to enter intermediate grades," she

explains. "We are finding more and more, however,

that the intermediate grades, instead of be­

ing easy to teach, call for just as expert teach­ing as any grade," she says.

She also pointed out that the one reason

why a child loses interest in school work at

this age is because, just when he is the

most curious about everything around him, he

encounters an inexperienced teacher who teach­es in a humdrum fashion.

The answer lies, of course, in attracting

more and better teachers- both men and wo­

men-to this field.

For years such work has been regarded as

"sissified" for the masculine sex. This, Miss Peterson feels, is unfair and untne.

If it is all right for a man to teach in

the high school, it is certainly proper for

him to teach in one of the lower grades.

No one grade is any more important than any other," she says.

Page Fourtern TH ALUMNUS April

"There are a great body of interests and owledges that a man can bring to the child's

in uisitive mind that a woman could not," sh said.

s examples Miss Peterson pointed to the bo ish interest in things mechanical-airplanes, tra s and steam engines, which often are a my tery even to the most competent woman.

he also cited an incident occurring last fall e Campus School. Fourth graders were

exci ed by a swarm of bees that had attached the selves to the roof of the building, and wer eager to capture the queen bee and her hive. Their man teacher accepted the chall­enge.

"Such a situation would have been diffi­cult for a woman to meet," she said.

On the playground, a man could teach youngsters some of the tricks of football, base­ball, or the manly art of self-defense. Guid­ance of young children in such activities is no less challenging than direction of more mature children.

The fact that a youngster lives pretty much in a woman's world until he reaches junior or senior high school is all the more reason for manly participation m the "forgotten grades."

Children generally see much more of their mothers, sisters, aunts and grandmothers than they do of the men in the fam ily. More

men teachers on the elementary grade level would offset this all-woman environment.

The almost literal absence of men from the field of elementary teaching in Iowa is forcefully portrayed by statistics. Of Iowa's 6,451 elementary classroom teachers, far less than one per cent of this group is masculine. An actual count of teachers reveals only 22 men teaching subjects below the seventh and eighth grade levels. O f the 63 male grade school principals in the state, only two are teaching.

Little improvement in the situation can be expected however, until schools recognize the importance of the elementary gqtde · teacher and reward him or her as a financial equal to the high school instructor, Miss Peterson maintains.

She sees a hopeful trend in the new min­imum salary trends in a few Iowa cities, where the minimum is the same no matter what grade the teacher teaches. Thus, there is no financial advantage to teaching in the high school over the fourth or fifth grade­provided, of course, that training is equal.

"If education breaks down in the middle, we are going to have children who are not interested or well taught coming into our high schools," she concluded. "And today's high school students are tomorrow's citizens."

Wins Degree

By Howard W . Rogers

Repr inted from the Col lege Eye

• The Reve re nd Harvey E. Moon,

B.A. '47 , watches his grond:1pn,

Robe rt Show, 11 months, smile for

th e photographer. Robert's mother

is the former Joyce Moon, now Mrs .

Russe ll Show, Kg.- Pr i. '43.

"PoP, Now h's YouR TuRN to go to col­lege" said the children- and grandchildren­of the Reverend Harvey E. Moon 'way back in 1943.

And so the Reverend Moon began his career as an Iowa State Teachers college freshman at the ripe young age of 45. At the end of the 194 7 winter quarter he brought home his sheepskin, a B.A. degree with a social science major. His minors include English, history and earth science.

Mr. Moon attended theological school in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has been preaching for the past 25 years. At present he is pastor of the Federated church at Hudson, Iowa.

A native of Spring Valley, Minn., Moon came to Hudson primarily so that his children could attend Teachers College.

"Pop" is the third member of the family to receive his degree at this school. Milton Moon, his second oldest son, graduated with a B.A. degree, in 1932, and daughter Joyce graduated with a two-year degree in 1943.

Mr. and Mrs. Moon have been married 26 years and have three children and three grandchildren.

The whole family got "quite a kick" out of the fact that their father was a college man. When he started in 1943, he didn't intend to finish, but one course led to another-and to the sheepskin.

He commuted daily from Hudson, approxi­mately 10 miles, via the college bus or auto.

"Pop" Moon recalls his early college days when men were a scarce article on campus. Strictly with the fatherly outlook he "felt sorry" for the girls. He appreciated the fine student body attitude toward him as an older student and didn't mind a bit when he was referred to as "Pop" Moon.

Reverend Moon has no intention of leaving the ministry, however, and he didn' t start college with that idea. He feels that his college work has already helped him in his church and Sunday school teaching. He says also, "All my eggs aren't going to be in one basket."

Alumnus Describes Teacher Shortage in Manila

A SURVIVOR O F THE Japanese occupation of the Philippines is Venancio Trinidad, B.A. '22, superintendent of the Manila city school system. H e is also a lecturer in education of the Univer :; ity of the Philippines.

During W orld War II, Trinidad hid in the hill ; wi th a Philippine guerilla band. His copies of the Alumnus were returned with the simple notation, "Service Suspended."

In a recent letter to Mrs. Irene Eaton of the Commons staff, he wrote that one of his stven children, Soledad Trinidad, was recent­ly elected Miss Silver Jubilee to preside ove r the 25 th anniversary festivities of the fou nding of the College of Pharmacy of the Centro Escolar University.

Stra1~gely enough, all seven children and fo ur grandchildren survived the rigors of war.

crs," he wrote that his country is burning the candle at both ends to find enough teach-

• I • er:; 111 tne provmces.

He points out that since 1932 enrollment in the Bureau of Education normal schools has been steadily decreasing from 2,200 in I 932 to 984 in 1939.

"Thus, even before the war, the graduates in the Bureau of Education normal schools each year were not even half the replacement needs. Nor was the number of graduates from priva te teaching-training institutions large enough to make up the difference.

"School equipment, supplies, textbooks, in­struction materials, all essential in any pro­gram of ed uca tion, have been lost or damaged, or have become obsolete," he writes.

To alleviate the critica l teacher shortage, Trinidad recommends the establishment of 10 regional normal schools at different strategic places in his country.
