Should Double Elementary School
Expenditures To Meet Standards

University. Miss, Feb. 26.-Mis-
sissippi, with Federal aid, should
almost double its annual expendi-
lures for elementary and second
airy education in order to meet
ever the barest standards. ac-
cording to DR.. William P. Nc
Lure, director of the Bureau of
Education Research at the Uni
versity of Mississippi.
In a six month survey Just COM
pleted for the Mississippi Educa-
ton Association, DR.. Mcclure set
a goal of 1000, 600 per year or
$50 per pupil for current opera
ton alone of pre-college educa-
ton in the state. Federal aid for
Mississippi according to Senate
Bill 472 introduced in the last
Congress would total about ST.
100000, DR.. Mcclure pointed out.
This figure, added to the present
expenditure of $30,000,0 600 in state
and local funds would bring the
level of support within reach of
her ability to attain the $50 foun-
dation program he continued.
The $50 figure, even though so
percent larger than the $50 maxi
mum per pupil spnt by a major
ity of Mississippi schools today,
would fall short of the $500 con-
sidered by leading national edu-

duction, and gross postal re-
ceipts."
In setting up the proposed sal
airy schedules, where the prob
lem of questionable certificates
or no certificates would arise,
DR.. Mcclure recommended that
mo teachers salary would be re-
duced as a result of changing to
the new plan. Any teacher who
is not properly certificated by the
State Department of Education
would be placed on the new sal
airy schedule in a bracket nearest

Gators to be essential to the well
fare of any state, the author ex-
planned.
Relief In Teacher Need
Schools that provide anything
approaching powerful education
will cost a minimum of 5000 per
pupil unit" he added. In Mis-
sissippi, 70 percent OF the children
fall in the $50 group: 20 percent,
$50; and 10 percent, $500, accord
ing to the survey. DR.. Mcclure
warned that the kind of educa-
ton given pupils in the $50 group
SIS of such character as to cause
alarm"
He would take $28 600, 900 of the
S58, 000 900 goal to "inaugurate
the suggested salary allotment
schedule and to bring about some
relief to schools that need more
teachers" This, he added, would
only take care of the present sit
uation in which three percent of
the teachers have masters de-
grees; SO percent, the bachelors
degree; IL percent have three
years college training, Is percent
have two years college training,
II percent have one year of col
lege training, and % percent have
high school training or less
Under this program, DR.. Nc
Lure recommended a salary
schedule similar to that sug-
gested by the NJ. E. A. ranging
from $500 a year for teachers with
a high school education to $2400
for those with masters degrees.
The above proposals would not
include new buildings and fa-
%cilities, the report stated, noting
that it would cost 1874 900 900 "in
terms of present construction
costs and the present number of
children in school to house Mis-
sissippi's children in modest cir
cumstances." Subtracting the to-
tai value of present building, an
estimated SAT, $4,000, would still
leave a need of over 5000, 900 900,
DR.. Mcclure said.
The building program would be
financed by a total of $463 per
weighted pupil unit" to be fl
nanced by about two-thirds from
the state and one-third from To-
cal contributions. Making the al
location on a straight per-pupil
basis would be unfair to the small
schools where enough pupils
would not be available, DR.. Nc
Lure said, suggesting that the
state would distribute the funds
on q weighted average system
according to need.
Share Costs
In his summary of recommen-
dations for the $50 Foundation
program" DR.. Mcclure suggested
sharing the cost by the state and
local tax units of government. The
potential state aid that any To-
cal school system might receive
would be the difference between
the cost of its foundation pro-
gram and the amount of money
the local system would raise by
effort based on tax paying ability,
the reasonable and uniform tax
relatively to its educational need"
he said.
He would base tax paying abil-
ity on six induces of economic ac-
tivity closely associated with true
property values: total population,
number of motor vehicles, state
income tay retail sales gross nro-

that these birthday parties are possible and successful. All the Transportation companies serving Sitka carry the gifts free of charge These include the Ellis Airlines. Alaska Coastal Air Line, Northnnd Transportation Comp. any, and Alaska Transportation Company.
 For the month of September, the A.C.C.A. chapter at Wacker City, sent gifts to each child with birthday that month. For October, the Catholic Daughters in Ketchi- kan are sending the presents. The Business and Professional Women 8 club in Juneau have volunteered to collect gifts for all the NoveIn- Der parties. For several months Mrs W. H. Gribble of Petersburg, has gladdened many little hearts with gifts for their one special day year
 Other organizations that have done, and are actively doing much for the patients are: Skagway Elm blem Club, Petersburg American Legion Auxiliary and the following groups in Ketchikan: Emblem Cluh, American Legion Auxiliary. Catholic Daughters, and B.P.W
 The Sitka women should lave an orchid, too. They produce beau tifully decorated cakes like magic for the musical cake plate at the hospital. And when all is said and done, what would a birthday bel without a cake and candles? Dur ing the busy month of July, forty cakes were willingly baked. Ey-i cry month isn't quite that busy, but whatever is needed never seems to be too much for Alaskan women to provide.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS MADE
 HAPPIER BY ALASKANS

The child patients at the Ortho- pedic Hospital in sitka whose birthdays fell in September. had some extra special parties this past month, thanks to a very thoughtful Pelican City woman.
 In commemoration of her own mothers birthday, Sept 20, Mrs. M. J. Miller, of Pelican, has in stalled musical bank on the counter of her place of business The Little Store. All donations of this bank go to the purchasing of birthday gifts for kiddies at the Orthopedic Hospital. This month. the amount collected was $8.05. Mrs. Miller and a friend made up the difference and sent a check for $10, plus a box of gifts, to be used for the frequently occurring birthday parties.
 These parties for the bedridden children at the hospital are mak- ing the Sitba women almost as happy as the recipients, because they are helping. and are there on the spot to see the happiness rad lated on little faces, just because of generous Alaskans.
 Individuals and organizations all over Southeastern Alaska are making a definite effort to see

 Mihai sails tomorrow for the Uni ted States. He had lunch today with the British Royal family at Buck ingham Palace, and then issued 2 tatement saying:
 The motives of the profound political changes imposed on the small states of Eastern Europe are already too well known.
 As far as Rumania is concerned I want to avail myself of the first possibility personally to confirm the facts as they happened
 "On the morning of Dec. 30, 1947 MT. Petru Groza and Gheorghiu- Dei, members of the Rumanian Cab- met, presented to me the text of the Act of Abdication, urging me to sign it at once. Both of them came to the Royal Palace after it had been sur rounded by armed attachments, in- forming me that they would hold me responsible for the bloodshed which will follow as a consequence of the instructions already issued by then in case I shall not sign within the time limit

 s(UTTLED kT SEA

PEARL HARBOR, March 4.-lR The battleship Pennsylvania, sur vivor of the Pearl Harbor debacle and two atomic blasts, was scuttled near Kwajalein February 10, the Navy announced today.
 tDamage received at Okinawa was mainly responsible for the Pennsylvania's unseaworthiness and not damage inflicted during the atomic bomb tests" at Bikini n July, 1946, the Navy said.
 Two other warships, termed vic tims of progressive deterioration also were scuttled last month. They were the destroyer Trippe, sunk February 8, and the attack trans port Banner, sunk Feb. l6.
 The Navy said the Pennsylvania could not have remained afloat much longer in the Kwajalein la goon. She was lowed there after the Bikini atom tests. She was considered a possible menace to shipping if she sank in the lagoon, as did the Prinz Eugen. Both were guinea pigs of the Bikini tests.
