tlon teachers who engage in
coaching.
TO EASE LOAD
"The facts will be studied,
and In all cases which warrant
il, the load Of the coaches will
he Iightencd," Chapman said.
81 believe that a teacher who
has four classes in addition To
coaching is carrying too big a
load"
Last week many coaches, in an
Unprecedented move. banded to-
gethcr 20 form a coaches aSsocla-
ton. Election of officers is sChed-
uled Al a meeting Monday night
