Education issued a call April 13 for NationalTeacher Corps Volunteers and asked for applications by May 31.The May 31 deadline also applies to requests from school dis-tricts for assistance from Teacher Corps teams this fall.Although  \nappropriation requests for the program covering the remainder of fiscal year 1966 and fiscalyear 1967 are still before Congress,USOE said it is seeking applications now so the programcan proceed when funds become available.  \nThe National Teacher Corps was authorized in the Higher Education Act of 1965,signedinto law last November 8.The House of Representatives on March 29 approved $10 millionfor the program.This was $3.3 million less than the Administration had asked.  \n'We need experienced teachers and college graduates—including June graduates,\"saidCommissioner of Education Harold Howe II.\"Starting by mid-June,some 3,000 recruitsselected from the applicants will spend eight to 12 weeks of summer training at colleges anduniversities.That is why the May 31 deadline for applications is necessary.By September,Teacher Corps teams should be ready to move into 200 to 400 city and rural poverty-areaschools systems where their help is requested.\"  \nDuring the training period,recruits will attend university courses on the sociology ofpoverty and the teaching of educationally deprived children.While in training,they willreceive $75 per week plus $15 for each dependent.Those successfully completing the train-ing will become members of the Teacher Corps.On acceptance by a local school agency,Teacher Corps members will be paid at the local level of teacher salaries.  \nAbout one-fourth of the Corps members will be teachers with an advanced degree andseveral years of experience,including many who have worked with deprived children.Mostwill lead teams of about five teacher-interns on assignments in local school districts.Experienced teachers will,where possible,be assigned to their home school districts.  \nThe teacher-interns will teach part-time under supervision of team leaders,assist inschool and community projects,and study for an advanced degree at a nearby institution.  \nSchool districts may qualify for a Teacher Corps team if more than half of the enroll-ment in at least one school in the district consists of children with families having annualincomes of less than $3,000.
