FAIRFAX SCHOOLS !,
WILL Be MERGED
Board Starts Program to
Cut Costs and Improve,
:yR
County Education System.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


FAIRFAX, Va, March 22.-The first
step in a consolidation and reorganiza-
ton program for the high school system
of Fairfax County was taken this week
by the County School Board, when 1t
decided to consolidate the high school
work at Fairfax and Oakton. All first
year instruction will be given at Fair
fax, with the class operating in two Sec
tons, under two teachers. The size of
the elementary graduation classes IN
dicates an enrolment of between so and
so for first year instruction. The pres
ent overcrowded conditions at Oakton
will be relieved, and second, third and
fourth year high school instruction will
be given there.
A more drastic change was made in
BraneSville district, where it was ten
tatively decided to abolish entirely the
high school departments at ForeStville
and Floris, concentrating the academic
subjects and the agricultural and me-
chanical courses now given at .Floris in
the Herndon School,
Public Hearing Ordered.
The board agreed that before such
drastic action became final opportunity
should be provided for a hearing of the
O.. inionS Of the different communities
affected. A public hearing will be held
in the boardroom April IS at 10 o'clock.
Each community will be limited to three
speakers.
The clerk of the board has been d.
rected to prepare a statement showing
both the present cost of operating the
three high schools and the cost of oper-
alton under consolidation. From the
information now before the board, it APP
pears that the estimated saving in cost
of instruction in high school work would
amount to at least $4,000 per year.
High school instruction this year at
Floris cost the county $6,450, a portion
of the salaries of the two vocational in
Structors being paid by the State. At
Forestville the one high school teacher,
with $40 a month part-time pay for a
second, cost $3.50; at Herndon, high
$40 ives paid by the town of Herndon
as a contribution toward the cost of a
commercial! teacher.
Fewer Teachers Needed.
The board estimates that under the
consolidation plan seven high school
teachers could take care of the $50
pupils on roll, instead Of the IL now en-
ployed. The Herndon building will &C.
commodate 400 pupils.
The board has not completed its con-
solidation program. Other schools will
be studied, both elementary and high,
and 1t is expected that similar action
will be taken in number Of instances.
This Is in line with the recommends
tions made by the special research COM
mittee appointed last year by the State
Of Education, which spent
several days in the county and prepared
a comprehensive analysis of present
conditions and suggestions for changes.
This commission included M. L. Combs,
State supervisor, division Of research
and surveys; w. r. Smithey. professor
of secondary education. University. Of
Virginia, and K. j. Hoke, dean Of the
College Of william and Mary.
Their program of consolidation will
make 1t possible to raise the salaries of
high school teachers. IL

Who Shall Go to School?

Speerbrecher The reason given is that the youth is
a member of secret society" namely, the young
Pioneers" a juvenile Communist organization. Mem
bers of the Boy Scouts and of secret scholastic Soce

Communism certainly should not be propagated in
our public schools. 1t might dspel some of our cur
rent economic and sociological iliteracy If children
could gain clear notion of just what Communism,
anarchism and the like really are. We then should
be free from the spectacle of supposedly educated
Americans deuouncing man as both Socialist and
anarchist.
It would be, however, a dangerous principle to set
up economic belief as qualification fer enjoying the
privileges of free public education in country The
greater the degree of error in ones economic doc
trnes the more the necessity for sound education in
this field.
If the Milwaukee authorities believe that Com
munsm is a sinister view Of life then they should
feel that much more responsibility for teaching a
