S. school system will have a big ger job this fall than ever before in its history. Educators cite these factors in creasing the school load: 1 A bulge in the American birth rate that started in 1941 will put increasing numbers of children in primary grades. 2. Veterans wil continue to use Government benefits to remain in ;he classroom. 3. Appreciation of the benefits of education has been stimulated in Americans until increasing num bers of people are making strenu ous efforts to continue their educa tion. Handicaps Cited The increasing classroom load finds the schools handicapped. Among difficulties troubling the educators are: 1. Salary scales which have be come too low because of sharp in craoses in living costs. 2 Sharp reductions in the num ber of people taking teacher train ing just at the time when more teachers are needed. 3 Deterioration of school build ings and facilities during the war years. 4 Sharply increased building costs, curtailing repairs, replace- mcnts and additions just at the time when the need is greatest. 5. Shortages of building mate rials. (i. Shortages of books. Growth Predicted The pinch will increase this fall, but is expected to continue for at least six years. Dr. John W. Stude baker. U S. commissioner of edu cation, estimates that in those six years there will be about six mil lion additional elementary school pupils in the country, about a mil lion more in secondary schools and half a million more students in col leges. The drive to meet the emergency situation has long since started throughout the country. At least 44 state legislatures have made ma jor adjustments in school laws. Many communities have adjusted teacher pay with or without state aid in an effort to hold teachers al- I M '5 v n I I VI I I 1 !

Money Provided Nearly all states made some pro vision for school financing, Dela ware. Indiana and Nebraska pro. vided state funds for school build ing. A proposal to stagger the tradi tional three-!, inths vacations so that the schools can operate the year around has been widely dis cussed. But educators do not pretend that measures so far adopted will meet the emergency fully. Dr. Studebaker says the emer gency calls for "heroic action." But he insists that the country can meet its educational needs on the same scale that it met its war needs so that every child can be given a first rate education. Warren Tells 'Continued frovn Page One) composed of the heucs of all civic clubs, with representatives from the chamber of commerce and the junior chamber, and for a time, as Warren explained, the mayor and ! sion sat in. But those two officials later were eliminated, since they held public office. Warren was president of the Ex change Club at the time of organi zation of the Presidents Round Table, and was its first president. Since then he has served as presi dent emeritus. "To show how the system works. the Legislature at its last session created a port authority and an avi ation authority, to meet the grow ing needs of the community," War ren said. "The bills provided that the Round Table should submit the names of ten men for each, and that the governor should appoint five members from each nominating list. In that way we got good men and not politicians. The Round Table idea has since been adopted in many other Florida cities, and not one word of criticism has been found with their work. Of course, it might not have suited the old time politicians, of whom we are happily rid." Warren, who was guest of Paul Davis, told the Lions if clubs else where were interested in the sys tem the Round Table secretary. Francis Sack, who has served in that capacity for the twelve years of its existence, would be glad to send copies of the bylaws. "I can't resist taking a little more of your time," Warren said, "to tell you of the growing interest among Florida folk in this Waynes ville and park area. More and more business people are coining here, and a group of my friends with me at the Piedmont and at High Hamp ton are talking a lot, and seriously.
