The School Board also asked
the Commissioners to raze the old

verted into a playground.
Transfer of the land on which
the Thomas Elementary School
now stands, from the Interior De-
partment to the Board of Educa-
ton, also was asked. The board
directed DR.. Corning to draw up a
report showing which other schools
are located on land not owned by
the board. It is estimated more
than a dozen are so situated.
The School Board also decided
to seek the following changes to
the Teachers Salary Act:
To establish a salary class fol-
assistants, consultants and super
visors; to permit the appointment
or promotion of vocational shop
teachers to higher salary status
without requiring them to have
masters degrees; to permit sim

By Colt HendIey, Jr.

A proposal to eliminate the
hurdles" which teachers must
pass every five years to get further
pay raises was under study today
by the Board of Education.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
recommended, at yesterdays board
meeting, that the hurdles be re-
moved from the teachers salary
act. The act now specifies that
every five years, teachers must
show evidence of professional
growth" before they can be pro-
NOTED further.
DR.. Corning branded the re-
quirement unnecessary, almost
impossible to administer and
disturbing to teacher morale.
The school superintendent said
that, in the past, most teachers
and officers participated exten-
sively in in-service programs to
improve their professional stand
ing. 1t is the "compulsion" to
WHICH CeacnerS OBJECT, ne aQQeQ
Create Uncertainty.
"The so-called hurdles require
ment tends to create uncertainty
In the minds of teachers and
places emphasis upon participa-
ton in in-service activities solely
for the purpose of meeting stand
ards that are related to salary
position rather than to service in
the classroom" DR.. Corning de-
clared.
DR.. Corning said it is almost
impossible to set standards of
professional growth and attain
ment that are fair, objective. and
yet flexible enough to apply to
all teachers and officers.
He added that elimination of
the requirement would not remove
his responsibility to set up a pro-
gram of in-service training to
improve classroom teaching-nor
was that the intent.
The School Board took the pro-
poSal under advisement until
it's next meeting.
Wants Education Aid.
In other actions the board
passed resolution stating the
necessity Of having the District
