ETS Gives Four Dates For National Teacher Examinations College seniors preparing to teach school may take the National Teacher Examination on four different test dates each year instead of one, Educational Testing Service announced today. New dates set for the testing of prospective teachers are: December 12, 1964; and March 20, July 17 and October 2, 1665. The tests will be given at more than 550 locations in the 50 states, ETS said. Scores on the National Teacher Examinations are used by many large school districts for employment of new teachers and by several States for certification or licensing of teachers. Some colleges require all seniors preparing to teach to take the examinations. Lists of school systems which use the examination results are distributed to coleges by ETS, a non-profit, educational organization which prepares and administers the examinations. On each full day of testing, prospective teachers may take the Common Examinations, which measure the professional and general preparation of teachers, and one of 13 Teaching Area Examinations (formerly called Optional Examinations) which measure mastery of the subject they expect to teach. Prospective teachers should contact the school systems In which they seek employment, or their colleges, for specific advice on which examinations to take and on which dates they should be taken. A Bulletin of Information containing registration forms, lists of test centers and information about the examinations may be obtained from college placement officers, school personnel departments, or directly from National Teacher Examinations, Educational Testing Service, Princeton New Jersey 08540.

Her major Overcrowded Conditions Force Postponement Until November The High School Editors Roundtable scheduled to take place during the second weekend of October here at Western Carolina College has been postponed until early November and its format has been revised. Mrs. Lillian Hirt, representing the college and J. P. Brady of Franklin, acting on behalf of the Western North Carolina Press Association, said that the postponement was due to several factors, the primary one being the over-crowded living conditions on the Western Carolina College campus. The Editors Roundtable, which has been an annual e- vent on campus since 1952, has brought thousands of student newspaper and yearbook editors and advisors to Western Carolina to hear outstanding persons in the fields of journalism, photography and publishing. Last year more than 125 high school editors participated in the roundtable. They listened to such outstanding speakers as Miss Gertrude Ramsey, Women's Editor of the Asheville Citizen-Times, Clifton Edwards of the Waynesville Mountaineer, President of the Western North Carolina Press Association, and John H. McGrail, Profesor of Photojournalism at the University of South Carolina. The young edi tors also conducted their own workshops and published a Roundtable newspaper. Plans are now under way to hold a one-day Roundtable early in November. This year's session will include awards for newspapers and yearbooks competition as in the past. Entries should be submitted by September 30. Mr. Henry Morgan, Sponsor of the Western Carolinian, has announced that several of tbe staff members of the Carolinian will be assisting the high school editors in publishing their annual Roundtable newspaper this year. field is Australian Literature in which she hopes to do some major research later.
