NAMED TO EDUCATION POST
DIR. Ostrom Elected Director of
Child Development and Guidance

DIR. 0strOm Elected Director of
Child Development and Guidance
The State Board of Education at
its last meeting in Dover elected
DR.. Stanley Ostrom to the position
of Director of Child Development
and Guidance. DR. George R. Mill
er, Jr., State Superintendent, stat
ed that the newly created post in
the State Department of Public In
struction is designed presently to
coordinate the activities of the
special education and guidance
fields. DR.. Miller stated that such
coordination has been necessary
for some time. He added that it
does not seem to be practical to
secure a full-time director of spec
ial education. The intimate rela-
tionship existing between guidance
and special education makes the
new position a most natural link.
In coordinating the activities of
these two areas, the Director of
Child Development and Guidance
has an opportunity to make the
services of the State Department
more efficient in these two fields.
Dr. Ostrom was previously the Sup
ervisor of Guidance Services. Be
fore coming to Delaware he was
affiliated with Syracuse University.
