Survey results show 35774 positions, 78 percent of Texas total, with 25 percent new hires this Fall and 40 student classes indicating overcrowding. The average classroom salary is 1593 dollars, prompting calls for salary schedules and state-financed scholarships for training teachers.

He warns against quick supply growth without better pay and mentions possible scholarships. Florida started $400 annual scholarships two years ago requiring teaching after graduation. Texas would be expensive but potential aid exists.
