AcC L ASS€ S THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AFTER graduation, more Wake Forest College seniors enter the teaching pro- fession than go into any other occupation. This year, for instance. .35 of the 10.5 memhers of the graduating class are meeting requirements for the High .School Teacher ' s certificate, Class A. and will be available for positions. Just how these teachers are measuring up is reflected in a statement by Dr. Frank P. Baehman, ex-secretary of the General Education Board of New ork City, who said, On the basis of facts contained in a recent survey of teacher training in colleges and universities of the Southern -States, Wake Forest College, in proportion to its enrollment, is making a greater contribution to the teaching personnel of Xorth Carolina than any higher institution of learning within its borders. This year in North Carolina there were 177 OU Gold and Blach school executives. Of this number there were two representatives each on the State Board of Education and Board of Equalization. 5 members of the State Department of Public Instruction. 9 college presidents (in North Carolina). 12 city school superintendents, 2.3 eountv school superintendents, and 156 high school principals. Of course, in addition to these, there were several hundred teachers, too numerous to mention. J. L. M.
