THE LAW AND THE TEACHER The Law and the Teacher in Illinois, written by H. H. SHITII in collaboration with Lee 0 . Garber , ~1as released thi s spring by The Interstate Pr int ers and Publishers , Inc . Smith , professor of administration and curriculum, and Garber, professor of education and dir ector of the Educational Serv ice Bureau of the Universi ty of Pennsylvania, claim that all too frequently teachers -- even thoce ~lith tenure- - have little if any concept of the law as it relates to them and the profession to which they belong. "This is t o be regretted , 11 say the co- authors, "since �- , -- - - - - - - - 2 - a teacher's rights, duties, and obligations have their origin in law." The new book was desi~ned to give teachers and students preparing to teach in Illinois instruction in la'tv as it relates to their profession. Sub-titled "A Handbook for School Board Members , Teachers, and Administrators," it was written for such instruction at either the graduate or undergraduate level, and in the in-service training of teachers. "Without an understanding of the law, a teacher cannot have an adequate understanding of his status. Neither can he have a clear understanding of the institution with which he is so closely associated nor of the school district vhich provides him with employment." MRS. ROCKHELL DIES Eugenia Rockwell, wife of SIU's visitinn professor of education,JOHN G. ROCKl·lELL , died March 21 at Barnes Hospital in St .

SIU BOARD STIFFENS REQUIREMENTS Acting on faculty recommendations, the SIU board of trus tees voted March 17 t o change admissions rules to s tiffen requirements for out-of- s tat e applicants and at the same time allow earlier action on applications from top-ranking high school students. Effective wi th the fall quarter the new policy will limit regular admission of out - of- stat e high school graduates to thos e in the upper 40 per cent of their classes. Lower r anking students will be admitted only if they score exceptionally well on entrance examinations, and then will be granted entry only during the summe r term and on academic pr obati on . The board action also clears the way for applications for admission by high school students in the upper quarter of their classes af ter comp letion of six semesters of high school inst ead of the presently required seven. Such admissions will be subject t o completion of the senior year's work and maintenance of class rank. The new policy a lso 't lill affect undergraduate transfer students, limiting those with probationary standing to entrance only dur;l.ng ..trw. spring or summer terms. Such students are admitted only after an interruption of schooling of at least a quarter and where there is evidence they can successfully undertake additional education. Students who are transferring directly to Southern after graduating fr om twoyear institutions with 3.0 grade point averages are eligible for admission in any quarter, but those with lower aver ages may be res trict ed to enrolling in winter, spring, or summer quarters. CLAY DIGGING EXPEDITION Through the courtesy of John McQuillan of Ruckels Potteries, Inc., vlhitehall, members of ceramics classes at SIU explored and examined clay deposits recently at various locat ions and obtained raw samples of clay for testing purposes. Accompanying the classes were JOHN CANNON, assistant professor of art; ARTHUR TOHATA, SIU graduate and instructor in art at Monticello College and SIU; and Ben jamin lfuiteside , instructor at Alton Senior High School . The tour included a visit to a coal mine, the Gilmore property, where the Alton Brick Company formerly mined clay, to McQuillan and L. E. Bell property. The latter were sites of extensive clay mining operations in the old days . The clay was used for �- Lr..• - wheel-thrown crocks and other utilitarian vessels. A sample of clay from the Bell property won first prize at the St. Louis World ' s Fair in 190l~ for its suitability for wheel throwing. Because of its unusual properties, much of the clay was shipped to England. llost of these clay sites were abcr..doncd \vhen. the oper ations of digging became unprofitable for horse- drawn equipment. Hmvever, with the revival of interest in hand methods of clay building, the demand for this type of clay might warrant reopening of the deposits which might be mined with modern equipment , commented Cannon. Eight samples were taken from the four locations for testing purposes . UNI QUE KILN DESIGNED .... .. ~ -- John Cannon and s tudent Roy Atkinson stoke the trash- burner kiln. before firing. A unique kiln designed by Cannon and LARRY MARCELL was built and fired by students of ceramics and scul pture. Designed to be portable and fired with a var iety of combus tible materials, its total cost did not exceed $20. After building t he kiln , students in ceramics made ware and fired it . The firing took approximately two hours and the ware had the look of examples of primitive pottery, with subtle light and dark Note ware in kiln coloration . These colors resulted from natural atmospheric variances within the kiln . Cannon is quoted as saying "This is not the easiest way to fire pottery . The electric kiln is f ir ed by turning on a switch. But we might dr aw a parallel in that outdoor bar becue affor ds r esults not achieved by indoor cookery .

SMITH have r ecently released their findings on a third s tudy of teacher demand in southwestern Illinois. Their previous reports were made in the fall of 1962 and 1963 . The r eport includes the 11 counties previously studied and an additional eight counties . The 19 - county area, which includes 157 public school districts , employs 8,536 public school teacher s . Of these 5 . 09 per cent ar e teaching on provisional cert ificates; 61 . 67 per cent hol d only the bache l or ' s degree; 26 . 34 per c ent hold the mas ter ' s degree . The 1961:. percentage of t eachers holding provisional credentials is 3 . 17 per cent les s than in 1963, while mas ter degree holder s ar e up 2.20 per cent . The need fo r t eachers in the 19- county ar ea is consistent 'tvith the t wo previous reports . During the years 1964- 68, 974 elementary teacher s will have t o be added because of addit i ona l enrollment and added services .
