Mrs. Magdeburger
Says Getting Capable
Teachers Is Big Job

Recruiting capable teachers is
one of the most important Jobs
facing school officials. Mrs. Ed
ward c. Magdeburger. newly ap-
pointed member of the Board of
Education believes.
She has more than a passing
acquaintance with the problems
facing the local schools because
her five children attended District
public schools. As a result. she
said she had a great deal of re-
spect and affection for the teach
ers of the District.
Mrs. Magdebureer. who has
been president of the District
Federation of Women's Clubs
since l947, said she would 90 to
her first school board meeting
next Wednesday with no inhibi-
tions and no axes to grind"
For Elected School Board.
Other than extensive work with
the Parent Teacher Associations
when her children attended school
here. she has no particular train
ing for education work. she ad-
mitted. But having FIVE children
who have gone through the
schools is some sort of qualifica-
ton, she believes.
Mrs. Magdeburger is an advo-
cate OF home rule and an elected
Board of Education. The Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs has taken
a stand in favor OF home rule in
congressional hearings.
She was appointed by the Dis
trict Court judges on Wednesday
to fill the vacancy left by the
resignation of Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle. who was president of the
board. The School Board elects its
own president each July at an
organizational meeting.
Sharpe Heads Board.
c. Melvin Sharpe stepped up TO
president from vice president
when Mrs. Doyle resigned. He is
expected 70 stand for election in
July. II q. N
Mrs. Magdeburger, who lives ait
1912 Missouri avenue NV. be-
lieves it is necessary to spend
money to provide the best possible
education for Washington chill
dren. She said she has not made
up her mind on the questions OF
Federal aid to education and the
need for an increased school
budget here. but now that she is
on the School Board, she said she
plans to give those two points
careful consideration.
She also intends to read the
Strayer report-prepared by Or.
George D. Strayer to give Congress
a picture of the needs Of the
schools here-because she feels
that it must contain much valu-
able information that should be
considered.
Like her predecessor, Mrs.
Magdeburger is interested in pro-
grams for handicapped children.
She has served as nurses aide
and has put in 1000 voluntary
hours at Children's Hospital.
She knows a lot about children
