^Applicants "Well Qualified"
Citizens' Support, Building Program
Cut.Manchester Teacher Turnover
MANCHESTER —, In the face
of a nation-wide teacher shortage, Manchester has been "very
fortunate .this year in having
well qualified applicants" for
its teaching positions, according
to Schools Superintendent Fred
Atkinson.
Atkinson   credited   the   high
caUber of this year's applicants
to strong citizen support of the
school system and the new ele-
mentary and high school buUd-
("kings.    "Our* citizens'- conscious-
mess   of, and support  for,   the
schools has provided intangibles
• that are -often more . important
.^^t%a^T^y^c^lg%%^vuv^aj»^fe^
ants," nec\said.        ' "'*" ._,'.**',"■;".'
Proof that teachers enjoy
their work in Manchester may
be found in the low rate of
teacher "turn-over." In the
past three years, only one teacher has left Manchester to
teach elsewhere. Four teachers
left the school for jobs outside
the teaching field, and one retired.
Since there are approximately
30 teachers ih the Manchester
schools, the turn-over rate per
year for aU causes has been approximately six per cent, a fig-
ure regarded as nearly ideal by
kiriany educators, since it en-
y courages the gradual introduction of new ideas and practices
in the teaching field.
Included in the replacements
and additions to the Manchester school staff this fall wUl
be the foUowing:
"Jane Bowers, of Jackson, a
June graduate of Western
Michigan College, kindergarten.
Mrs. Ethel Griffin, of Chelsea,
a teacher with 11 years experience, seventh grade civics and
eighth grade science.
Mrs. George Heim, of Ionia,
a June graduate of the University of Michigan, vocal music
for all grades.    "
Berry EUis, of Plymouth, a'
June graduate' of YpsUanti
State Normal College, High
School English and Spanish.
Walter Gendzwill, of Iron-
wood," a -war veteran with brief
ex'perience in the Dearborn
schools, High School mathematics, chemistry, and physics.
Donald Greek, of Ann, Arbor,
'SSts„ and driver. education.
Mrs. Constance Hyde, of Ionia,
a June graduate of the University of Michigan, business administration courses.
Ford Longendyke, of Lansing,
a June' graduate of Michigan
State University, High .School
social studies.
An orientation meeting for
the new teachers wUl probably
be held the last week of this
month, according to Atkinson.
