New Maih Courses

New courses in advanced mathe.
matics take the spotlight at Amer.
lean University this fall.
Glasses will start at the univer.
sity October L. An enrolment
of 400, about the same as last
year, is expected.
The new mathematics courses
have been planned in cooperation
with the Bureau of Standards and
most will be taught by bureau
staff members. Many classes will
meet at the bureau itself. All will
be in the evening.
All on the graduate level, the
courses will lead to the degrees
of master of arts and doctor OF
in mathematics.
Courses listed for the coming
year are introduction to analysis,
advanced numerical analysis,
theory of probability for physical
scientists, real variableS, partial
differential equations of mathe-
matical physics, vector analysis,
claculus of finite differences, ad-
vanced calculus and advanced or
dinary differential equations.
The university also is planning
a series of public lectures on
mathematical problems.
Another new graduate course
will be in supervision in industry,
with j. Harvey DAILY, personnel
and public relations director Of
the Giant Food Department

Pupils to Learn Fundamentals Of Civil Defense

School children, he said, must be
taught to act automatically in a
disaster. Older students must
learn to take and give commands
as the situation demands.
Teachers are being instructed to
refer to civil defense air-raid
drills in schools as safety pro-
grams" or shelter programs
rather than atomic bomb air-raid
drills.
Develop Optimism.
The idea is to teach the ele-
ments of safety mixed with an
atmosphere of optimism, according
to bulletins the Board of Educa-
ton has forwarded to teachers.
Safety areas in schools will be
determined by the principals with
the help of civil defense officials
These areas will be located below
ground when possible, or on the
first floor in the center of the
building.
In case students have to remair
in their classrooms, teachers art
instructed to have them turn theil
desks over and crouch behinC
them for protection.
The booklet, A B C's for Civil
ians, compiled by the Distric'
Board of Education, will be dis
tributed to each student. For ell

Outcome Of Suit May
Affect Alexandria S
Student Population

Alexandria school administrators
expect quiet year-unless the
city wins an annexation suit
seeking rs square miles of Fair
fax County territory.
The State Supreme Court OF
Appeals is expected to decide next
winter whether the 1900 resi-
dents of that area will become
city citizens.
Annexation would materially in
crease the present enrolment OF
approximately 5000 students, who
reported last Thursday.
If there is no annexation, how
ever, the Alexandria school sys-
TEN will continue to be the only
one in nearby Virginia free from
pressure for additional classroom
space to reduce overcrowding.
The city's building program has
eliminated double sessions and
crowded classrooms. No teacher
is expected to have more than
supt. S T. {. Williams is plan
ming to ask for bids on 30-room,
million dollar school to replace
the old Lee and Washington ele-
mentary schools.
Other projects being considered
by the School Board are a SIS
million high school in the western
part of the city and a $500, 600
elementary school at Parkfaigfax.
The city has a new high school
for Negroes, Parker-Gray, and
two new elementary schools for
white students. Charles Barrett in
Parkfairfax and Theodore H.
Ficklin in the eastern part Of the
city, All three were in operation
last year.
Recruitment of new teachers in
Alexandria has not been difficult
because the city pays teachers
more than any other Virginia

from $2,7O0 a year to $4.750.

The 1851 football season will see
the District public high schools
fully equipped, for a change, but
still unable to pay their own way.
Sufficient funds to cover ath-
letie activities have been appro-
priated by Congress with the stip-
ulation that all money received
from customers at games be
turned over to the United States
Treasury.
This will provide no noticeable
relief to the taxpayer, for as long
as the District schools must play
football in daylight, the custom
ers will be few and monetary re-
turn practically insignificant.
Across the Potomac River the
picture is different. George WASH
ington High School in Alexandria,
for example. realized some $28, 600
from night football last season
Players in all sports are equipped
fully each year from the night
football revenue. In addition
money is channeled to other
school activities. And there is
never any anxiety over what will
be appropriated the following
year. Night football pays the bill
In past seasons it was common
practice for District public high
coaches to slash their squads by
the dozens for the sole reason
that there was not enough equip
ment on hand nor enough money
to purchase additional equipment.
Funds for Squad Equipment.
This year, thanks to the $28, 8,00C
voted by Congress which remains
a part of the basic budget fol-
public schools, and the $4,000
voted in 1852 budget, all squads
are expected to be fully equipped
But it still remains a rob Peter
to pay Paul" condition with the
taxpayer footing the bill.
A lighted stadium. where night
football games attract good
crowds, is the answer. An appro-
priation of $4,000 to provide
lights and other improvements at
Eastern Stadium almost got
through Congress last year. The
war in Korea, resulting in short
age of material, was blamed for
failure of that measure, or a SIM
liar one, to be enacted: However,
close sources indicate that fric-
ton within Congress and between
Board of Education members and
outsiders pushing for the project
was the actual cause.
At any rate, the Korean dis
turbance cannot be shouldered
with the blame. Long before the

Price of Education
Us S20S Per Pupil
I'm Public Schools
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 8.-Close to
l$6.5 billion is being invested in q
years education for children now
returning to public elementary
and secondary schools for the fall
term.
According to estimates prepared
by the United States Office of Ed
ucation, most of this will go fol
salaries, school plant maintenance
pupil transportation, etc. Approx.
mately SIS billion will be spent or
new buildings, furniture and Other
capital outlays.
1t is expected, says Emery M
Foster. head of analysis research
and statistical standards, thai
there will be an average daily at
tendance of about 23.5 million pu.
pills. At that rate, about $3.50
will be spent per pupil during
1951-52.
Teachers salaries are bound tt
go up a little this coming year
Mr.. Foster and National Educa.
ton Association Research Direc.
tor Frank w. Hubbard say, but
mot much.
1--WE have had a great deal Of
activity in the past year on the
part of local committees of teach
ers pressing for salary increases
says DR.. Hubbard. "A number OF
new salary schedules have been
written, all of which adds up tc
some improvement in teachers
salaries. Offsetting these hopeful
things is the gradual Tightening
of the tax dollar particularly as
shown by the action of State leg
iSlatureS. What the net effect oi
all this will be I am not able tc
say with certainty but I woulo
guess that on the average teach.
ers' salaries will advance between
500 and $3.50 in 1951-52 over the
average of 1950-51. The average
in 1950-51 for all instructiona
staff Gncluding principals ano
supervisory was $1,000. The aver
age for all classroom teachers was
$2,980." =
According to DR.. Ray c. Maui
the 1951-52 school term opens
with a still-critical teacher short
age that has been overcome only
at the high school level.
DR.. Maui estimated 100000 oi
the nations 603,000 elementary
school teachers are not qualified
to hold their jobs and should bt
replaced. In addition, he empha-
sized the need for 10000 new
teachers in elementary schools thi.
September. OF these, only 10000
are now in sight.
Enrolment figures for public
elementary schools are up 644 ,00(
Iover 1850 for a high of q, ,318, ,O0l
pupils, while the high school fig
ures show but a slight increase tc
"a high Of 5,456,000, says the Office
of Education.
One encouraging note, says Mr.
Foster, is the rapidity with which
one-room school houses are dis
appearing from the American
scene. Out of approximately 3 mil
lion school houses in the United
States, only $4,000 to $4,000 are

If you choose Georgetown's For
eign Service School, tuition jumps
to 5000 per. annum. In the Med
ical School, it's $500.
Georgetown, as a whole. isn't
raising most fees this fall. But
its law school is-from $500 to
$420 for day school tuition. 5000
to $500 for night school. And
usually that comes after four
years as an undergrad - remem-
ber?
Educators emphasize that it
isn't simply the cost of education
going up-it's the value of the
students dollar going down. (In-
f1ation) But knowledge of that
doesn't help much either.
Students can save money, of
course, by living at home and at
tending day or night classes, and
many do. All colleges also have
scholarships and loan funds, and
all help students find part-time
jobs.
