Board Group Holds Up
|SinlpIified Rating Plan
For School Employees

A proposal to change the rating
system for educational employees
was held up by the Personnel
COMMITTEE Of the Board Of Edu-
cation yesterday pending q report
of further details.
In contrast to the present highly
detailed system Of rating the
services Of teachers and officers.
the proposal would call simply
for use Of the two ratings "satis-
factory" and unsatisfactory"
Adoption Of this system was
recommended to the committee by
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
last October and again yesterday.
"The long and continued study
OF the subject Of teacher ratings
over the last Is years has shown
that the various methods which
seek to place the evaluation OF
teaching service in several cate
gories are extremely difficult to
teacher morale" /" he said.
Committee members, however,
raised questions as to what ac-
ton would be taken in case of
an unsatisfactory" rating, and
how long person with such q
rating would be retained in the
school system.
Call for Report.
DR.. Corning was asked to ex-
lplore the subject and submit Q
report.
Later in the meeting. the
superintendent was taken to task
lby Adelbert w. Lee. school board
vice president, for "procrastina-,
ton" in getting a report to the
board.
He referred specifically to q
report showing the number of
elementary school principals in
cities with populations over 50O,-
900 who administer and supervise
one or more buildings, which he
said the board had awaited for
months.
DR.. Corning said the report was
submitted at the first opportunity
Mr.. Lee. however, noted it had
been prepared on January %,
according to q note at the
bottom.
Says Letters Ignored,
The school board officer also
complained that he had written
two letters for information about
the school aviation program and
that they had been ignored. He
said that he had had membersl
of Congress call him and say
that they could not get any infor-
nation about school matters.
People should not have to keep
asking and asking" MIR. Lee
declared.
II think 1t is high time that
the superintendent recognized
that these matters should bel
handled with dispatch" he added.
Board Member Albert e. SteinumI
interposed that q great deal of
work had fallen on the superin-
tendent in the last few months.
Mr.. Lee, however, declared that
the board had not denied him al
larger staff. 4

Virginia clubs. Army-Navy has

the adjoining fairway to the
right.
Congressional has out Of bounds
only to the right on No. I on the

it's out to the left. and fairly
easy to do. Woodmont has only
three out Of bounds holes and
they are rather extreme. Argyle

five holes. q couple Of them rather

It's possible to 60 out on seven
