Health Education IMPORTANCE OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION "The importance of the work of the teaching profession is second to that of no other occupation. The very existence of the social, economic, and political life of America is dependent upon the work at the schools. "The work of the teacher is essential in the preservation of our coun– try. Through the classrooms pass the citizens of the Nation. The founda– tions of our democracy rest upon the ideas, attitudes, and actions of the citizens. Through their leadership of America's youth, teachers determine to a very large extent the destiny of the Nation .... -The Federal Security Agency THE NEED FOR TEACHERS Ohio, and every other state, needs trained elementary teachers. In 1951 Ohio has less than one half the number of qualified persons required to staff the rapidly expanding public elementary schools. Students who com– plete the training program in this field should have no difficulty in finding attractive positions. At present there are fewer opportunities for employment in the secon– dary schools. Prospective high school teachers should consult the director of student teachers concerning the most promising fields of specialization. Attention is called to the dual program, whereby students may qualify for certification in both elementary and secondary fields. ADMISSION Requirements for admission are given on page 18. Students should also consult the section on academic and other standards that must be main– .rained in order to register for student teaching, page 33.
