STUDENT TEACHERS
SHORTAGE OF APPLICANTS The fact that the number of applicants _ for admission to the Teachers' Training College next year is below tho desired quota provides an unusual position for tho Auckland Education Board to face. The chairman, Mr, W. J. Campbell, stated yesterday that the quota of trainees for the Auckland district was 234, but this time only 213 students, of whom 155 are women, have been recommended for admission. Tho college also accepts 40 students from the Taranaki district and four from the native schools service. Normally, the number of applicants exceeds the quota by a considerable margin, and last year some 40 or 50 had to be refused admission. Mr. Campbell attributed the great shortage of male applicants to war conditions, and said the problem of completing the quota had been referred to tho Education Department. Next year there would be nearly COO students at the college.
