EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION
The present volume is one of two mimeographed reports prepared by the Task Force on Teacher Education of the Georgia Nuclear Advisory Commission. This volume consists of a series of 97 tables presenting the basic statistical data upon which the descriptive and evaluative comments contained in the companion volumel are mainly based. Both volumes have been organized with reference to a common outline of major topics and related sub-topics. AlthOUGh either volume may be used independently of the other, both volumes were planned, organized and reproduced on the assumption that the tjlPical reader would wish to make joint and related use of each of them. Consequently, the authors of the companion volumel have made numerous cross references to the tabular materials in the present volume.
In some instances it may be possible that a particular reader of this volume may not have or may not w'ish to have access to the companion volume. In either case, it would be the ~dsh of the Editor that such a reader would examine and appraise the tabular material contained in this volume in the light of background information concerning the purpose and scope of the total studY and the conditions under which it was conducted. Such a statement was prepared as the Editor's Introduction to the companion volume, Teachers and Teacher Education in GeorGia. Beoause of its presumed interest and pertInence to the reader-or-the present volluue, this statement is reproduced herein as Appendix A, page 122, ff.
Although the statistical data presented in this source book obviously lack definitivenes and finality, it is believed that they will have much interest and value to all agencies and persons concerned with the improvement of teaching and teacher education in Georgia.

* The present calculations are based on original data submitted by the individual colleges to the Division of Certification, Georgia Department of Education (Courtesy of Mr. J. J. Medlin). The present table disregards the race of the trainee.
@The percentages shown in the last column are based on the Grand Total of all sub-groups.
A distinction is made between elementary teachers having "regular" duties and those with duties in IIspecial education" (i.e., retarded, physica~ handicapped, etc.).
# Due to failures by certain institutions to make reports for certain years, the

APPENDIX A
. EDITOR'S n~TRODUCTION TO: TEACHERS AND TEACHER EDUCATION IN GEORGIA~~ ---~

*The companion volume to: A Source Book of Data Concerning Teachers and

Teacher Education ~ Georgi"a::--- - - -

-

EDITOR'S ThlTRODUCTION
The present volume is one of tHO mimeographed reports prepared by the Task Force on Teacher Education of the Committee on Nanpower and Education of the Georgia Nuclear Commission. The companion volumel consists of a series of 97 tables presenting the basic statistical data upon ~Jhich the descriptive and evaluative co~~ents contained in the present volume are mainly based. Both volumes have been organized with reference to a common outline of major topics and related sub-topics. Although either volume may be used independently of the other, both volumes were plarilled, organized and reproduced on the assumption that the typical reader would wish to make joint and related use of each of them. Consequently, the authors of the present volume have made numerous cross references to the tabular materials in the Source Book.
The scope and content of these two companion volumes should be viewed by the reader in relationship to (1) the special task or mission assigned to the Task Force on Teacher Education and (2) the special conditions and ciroumstances uhich contributed to or interf'ered vJith effective attainment of' this mission.
The special mission of the present Task Force was that of analyzing the present status of teachers and teacher education in Georgia and making recommendations concerning such types of future social action as might seem appropriate. Operationally considered, this mission may be thought of as involving the f'ollovdng types of Task Force activities: (1) a determination of the kinds and amounts of data needed to serve as the basis of' a factually accurate and pertinent description of present status and probable future needs; (2) attempting to locate potentially available sources of data of the type and amount considered desirable for the present purposes; (3) the statistical processing of available
data considered to be pertinent; (4) a critical consideration of the implications of the data; (5) the preparation of the tvJO volumes described
above.
The f'irst meeting of the membership of the Task Force was held in Atlanta,
Georgia on December 9, 1959. A tentative agenda of Task Force activities
was discussed and approved. It was recognized that, due to bUdgetary and other considerations, the activities of the Task Force must inevitably be of limited scope and must be completed d1.:ring the f'iscal year ending
June 30, 1959. The Chairman of' the Task Force (i.e., the present Editor)
was authorized to attempt to secure such cooperation and assistance as could be made available in the implementation of the agenda and 't"Jas directed to submit a progress report as early as possible. This progress report was made at a second meeting of the Task Force membership in Atlanta,
Georgia on April 9, 1959. At this second meeting, the Task Force Chair-
man (with the assistance of a corps of part-time professional staf'f' associates whose services to the Task Force had been donated by the Dean of the College of' Education of the University of Georgia) was directed to prepare f'or prospective publication, subject to appropriate approval, the two volumes brief'ly described above.
1 A Source ~ of ~ Concerning ~chers ~d Teacher ~ducation in Georgia.

In presenting these companion volumes for prospective use by agencies and persons concerned with the improvement of teaching and teacher education in Georgia, it is expressly recognized that the basic data 1uth which th~ deal have important limitations as respects completeness of coverage of sub-topics and sub-populations, obvious and immediate pertinenc~ to the problems at hand, and in some instances factual accuracy and objectivity. Under the conditions obtairing for the present study (i.e., limited bUdgetary and staff resources; limited availability of complete, pertinen\j, and current basic source data; limited time schedule within Nhich the present Task Force activities had to be completed), it is believed that most of the limitations of the data presented in the present study were mainly unavoidable. Hopefully, many of these limitations could be avoided in future studies of this type by maki.r:g appropriate adlninistrative and bUdgeta-~ provisions for a program of continuous research concerning taxsupported educational enterprises.
The allocation of at least a small portion of the total budGet for public education to support a 5".1stematic and continuous program of research activities directed toward the improvement of tax-supported educational enterprises would appear to have many practical and theoretical justifi~ cations. A very hi;::;h proportion of the tax dollar in Georgia is expended for educational purposes. Judicious and efficient expenditures of these funds logically presuppose that policy decisions will have been based on the availability and use of comprehensive and current data pertinent to such policy decisions. Generally considered, such data in desirable quanti"0Y and of desirable quality have not in the past usually been available for use in the determination of sound policy decisions concerning many facets of enterprises in public education. 11any business concerns have found it to be expedient to allocate funds for research activities related directly or indirectly to improvements in the efficiency of the business enterprise. As the largest and most expensive enterprise of the state of Georgia, public education might well be the focus of long-term and comprehensive research emphasis supported by public funds.
The outline of major topics and related sub-topics which has served as a basis for the organization and presentation of materials contained in the two present companion volumes was developed on the basis of both logical and practical considerations. Logically, the assigned mission of the Task Force on Teacher Education appeared to require that consideration be given to each of the four major topics concerning vrhich tabular data have been presented and analyzed:
I. The General Status of Public Education in Georgia II. Characteristics of the Hork Force III. Professional Preparation Programs IV. Characteristics of Trainees
Practically, the inclusion or exclusion of data pertinently related to a particular major topic was detennined by such considerations as the follmdng: (1) availability or non-availability of basic source data; (2) the availability of bUdgetary and staff resources for data processing and

interpretation; (3) limitations imposed by the necessity of completing
the project before the close of the fiscal year 1956-1959.
The purposes and scope of the present project, and conditions under which plans for its implementation had to be developed, were such as to require the collaboration of many agencies and persons. Basic source data pertinently related to the purposes and scope of the project had to be procured from many sources. Data found to be available had to be processed and interpreted. Funds and staff resources had to be made available. In each instance, the collaboration of persons other than members of the Task Force was mandatory. Accordingly, it is most appropriate that grateful aCkn01'iledgement be made for these contributions to the present study.
To Dr. Doak S. Campbell, Coordinator of Task Forces, much appreciation is expressed for his IDaJI'J valuable services in helping make administrative and budgetarJ provisions requisite to the attainment of the objectives of the Task Force; in providing counsel concerning general and specific phases of Task Force activities; and in providing encouragement and stimulation to the Editor and members of the professional staff.
For furnishing or facilitating access to basic source data, grateful ackn01vledgement is made to the follovr.i.ng:
1. Dr. Claude Purcell, State Superintendent of Schools, and the
fol101dng members of his staff: Nr. Hal l,r. Clements, ~h~. J. H.
Cammon, I1rs. Bernice McCullar, 11r. John J. Medlin, Jr. E. P. Morgan, }liss I1ary Ellen Perkins, Mr. R. D. Pulliam, Dr. H. S. Shearouse, and Dr. Allen C. Smith. 2. Mr. G. E. Pittman, Executive Secretary, Teacher Retirement System of Georgia and members of his staff; particularly, 11r. C. H. Skipper.
3. The President (or delegated representative) of the several white
and Negro senior colleges of Georgia furnishing questionnaire data concerning teacher training programs and teacher trainees.
4. Officials of the University of Georgia -- particularly the
following: President O. C. Aderhold; f1r. Walter N. Danner, Registrar; Dr. George H. Boyd, Dean of the Graduate School; Dr. R. Travis Osborne, Director, University Guidance Center.
5. Dr. Ira Jarrell, Superintendent of Schools, Atlanta, Georgia. 6. Dr. Paul Hest, Superintendent of Schools, Fulton County, Georgia. 7. Dr. 'Harren G. Findley, Assistant Superintendent of Schools for
Pupil Personnel Services, Atlanta, Georgia. 8. Dr. Van Cleve 11orris, Rutgers University, Nen Brunsvdck, New Jersey.
For invaluable assistance in the l.B.M. processing of punch card data of several types, much credit is due to:
1. Mr. E. P. Horgan and assistants, Georgia Department of Education. These services were furnished gratis.
2. }~. C. H. Skipper and assistants, Teacher Retirement System of Georgia. These services were furnished gratis.

3. Dr. J. L. Carmon, statistician, and Mr. James C. Fortson,
assistant statistician, Department of Experimental Statistics, Georgia Experiment Station, The University of Georgia. These services ,;-rere financed by special funds made available by President O. C. Aderhold to process the data concerning bachelors and masters graduates of the University of Georgia, 1958. See Tables IV-A-l through IV-A-14 and IV-B-l through IV-B-8.
To members of the statistical and stenographic staff, grateful acknowledgement is made for assistance in data processing, the preparation of tabular and textual materials and other related services. The members of the statistical staff 1-Jere: 1-1rs. Sheila Bailey, IvIr. Joseph A. Booker, Miss Francina Couey, :tvIrs. Grace J. Eubanks, ~1rs. Frances Gotesky, Mrs. Hazel D. Simpson and I'1iss 1'lartha June !'latts. The members of the stenographic staff were: }1rs. Jan N. Armstrong, Mrs. Linda F. Farmer, Miss ~'lary Patterson, Mrs. Leitha Smitb, and H':rs. Helen 1iJilson.
To his perso.nal secretary, r-1rs. Jan N. ArmstronG, the Editor is especially indebted for the highly efficient performance of a i'lide variety of secretarial and managerial duties related to the program of research activities and the preparation of the present manuscripts.
With due respect to the value of all other contributions to the present study by non-members of the Task Force, the services of the professional staff deserve special and outstanding recognition. Due to the cooperation of President O. C. Aderhold and Dean John A. Dotson, the fol101dng members of the faculty of the College of Education of the University of Georgia were released from regular duties during one or two quarters for "parttime" participation as members of the professional staff of the present study: Dr. Joseph C. Bledsoe, Dr. Bernice Cooper, Dr. Albert J. Kingston, Dr. George B. Miller, and Dr. George L. Newsome, Jr. Under the general direction of the Chairman of the Task Force, these persons have contributed to: (1) the planning of the general and specific research objectives of the stUdy, (2) the collection, analysis and interpretation of the data; and (3) the preparation of the two manuscripts which report the results of the study. Specific citations of responsibility and credit for particular individual contributions are made in footnote references in each volume. Except for the contributions by the professional staff, the study could not have been completed.
Since each member of the professional staff ivorked in the role of a "team member" as Hell as in the role of an "individual contributor" with specific assigned responsibilities, it is not feasible to give a fully accurate descriptive account of the varied contributions of each staff member to the study as a whole. The order in which the authors are listed by name on the title page is meant to reflect the proportinate amount of time (in decreasing order) 11hich each author contributed to the entire project. The specific footnote citations of credit and responsibility for the authorship of a particular section of the manuscript enable the reader to identify the individual staff member primarily responsible for the analyses and interpretations of data made in that particular section. That is, although each contributor had access to comments and criticisms from other members of the professional staff and from the Editor,

the final responsibilit:y- in matters of data interpretation, format and style rested vJith the individual contributor.
It should also be mentioned that tl,-JO members of the Tasle Force have made significant research contributions to the present studJ'. r1iss }1arJ Ellen Perkins collected and analyzed the data concerning curriculum patterns for teacher education programs in white and Negro colleges of Georgia. See Tables IV-B-l and III-B-2. Dr. ~\Tarren G. Findley collected and analyzed the data on teaching aptitude and student achievement in the public schoms of Atlanta, Georgia. See Tables II-B-l, II-B-2, II-B-4, and II-B-5.
The Editor lJould be Grnssly remiss in his duties if the present acknowledgements did not pay special tribute to the interest and concern shown in the present study by the entire membership of the Task Force. By deliberate intent, this membership I"las comprised of individuals held in the highest esteem by their peers in industry, conunerce, and education. It was felt that only such a group, broadly representative of the diverse interests and concerns of the citizens of Georgia in matters related to teaching and teacher education, could best determine what types of studies should be undertaken and appraise the major implications of the findings. Although the majority of these members could not, by virtue of their respective responsibilities, assume an active research role in the present study, each has Given generously of his time in serving in advisoFy and evaluative capacities.
The reader ..Jill properly anticipate that a manuscript produced under the present circumstances (i.e., basic data derived from va~ing sources, involving varying time periods and var;}rj.nG base populations, analyzed and interpreted by different professional staff members 'Jho had to Hork somewhat independently of each other) may well lack desirable (1) completeness in factual coverage, (2) exact consistency in data presentation and interpretation and (3) agreeffient in format and style. For such imperfections of these types as the present stUdy may contain, no apology is considered
necess~.
In consideration of the purposes of the study and the conditions under which it was executed, the calculation and reporting of measures of the statistical reliability of findinGS was held to be neither ne~essarJ nor feasible. In most instances, the reader interested in computing such measures "Jill have available in the tables the data requisite to such calculations.
Although the present study makes no claims of definitiveness or finality, it is believed that the factual and interpretative data contained in the present volumes will have verJ great interest and value to all agencies and persons concerned vJith the improvement of teaching and teacher education in Georgia. "t"Jhatever limitations the present study may have, it may be said to have the virtue of presenting more nearly complete, accurate and recent data concerning teaching a~d teacher education in Georgia than have ever been available previously. For these reasons, and in view of the strategic role of public education in a democratic society, the present findings and reconunendations are respectfully commended to the attention of the Governor, the General Assembly, Boards of Edti.cation, school officials, members of the teaching profession, and the general public.
