Abstract
We all know that the most baffling problem facing the American educational system today centers about how to meet the steadily expanding need for qualified elementary-school teachers. To increase the supply enough to meet the need we must have an enormous increase in the number of acceptable candidates for teacher education. Our efforts to "recruit" trainees have not met with success. Why? Roderick G. Langston, President, Eastern Oregon College at La Grande, reports the findings of a most interesting and revealing inquiry conducted under his direction. He also points the way to further much-needed research.Keywords
