TEACHERS PROTEST

Congressman Lehlbach. chairman OF

"A letter today from j. W. Crabtree.
secretary OF the National Educational
Association, protesting against the
proposal TO put District OF Columbia
school teachers in the same class with
other Government employees under the
new Redistribution bill TO be intro

The officers VI the National Ed
ucational Assoc alton have noted with
some concern Mr.. Crabtre" wrote,
the possibility Of the teachers of
the District Of Columbia being in
Guided under th" same regulations
AS other Government workers in the
new reclassiiication plan.
We believe this would b0 a great
mistake and would work TO the dis
advantage Of the schools Of IN" Dis
trict and TO the cause Of education
generally.
Teaching is profession, and
teachers must b" rated in accordance
with professional standards, the
letter concludes. "TO place teachers
under the same Redistribution as
other Government workers would
tend to disregard these professional
standards which have been built up in
the teaching professions through the
years. and which contribute most
highly TO the welfare of the children
in the public schools.
"AIcmbcrs Of Congress will readily
see when this matter is brought I"
