voted to change to another
method, the school administra-
ton said yesterday.
A-B-C reports will be handed

The vote among parents of
elementary school children

A-B-C method. plus comments
on such questions as whether the
child uses his time wisely. works
to the best If his ability, and
works neatly.
The report methods approved
this spring by parents of each
school will be used for the next
two years.
Recommendations Ready.
A committee of school staff
members, headed by DR.. Edwina
Deans, elementary supervisor,
and Miss Olivia Elder, principal
at Mckinley School. has pre-
pared a list OF tentative recon-
mendationS to teachers on the
narrative report
Teachers are asked to be Spe-
cific in their comments and to
avoid educational jargon." The
committee says such reports
should most especially inform
the parents as completely as
possible concerning the child'S
scholastic development"
The guide prepared by the
group contains this warning that
sharp-eyed parents and students
will be studying the reports:
"Check grammar, spelling
punctuation and sentence struc-
ture."

positions with some 400 appoint
mentS.

Walsh said. however, that, while
the teacher shortage of the last
few years has been eased. COM
petitive bidding by nearby school
systems may yet cost him a num-
Der of teachers. who have signed
contracts. before the fall term
opens. He said Arlington pay
scales are now about on a par
with Fairfax County and Alex
andria and in some pay grades
teachers find it to their advan-
tage to take jobs elsewhere.
Three Retired.
The School Board also an
nounced the retirement of three
veteran employees. They are
Miss Lillian Smackum, who has
taught at Kemper for 81 years;
John L. Wood. Washington-Lee

steal instruments and equipment
were approved. OF the amount,
$15,477 will come from bond

this operating budget expense is
met by rent charged student for
use Of the instruments.
The board received 10 bids on
the new Glencarlyn School at
South Seventh and Carlyn
Springs roads but did not act
on them. The bids on the IA
room school, which will replace
the present Glencarlyn. due to
become part Of the new Ken
more Junior High, run from
$562, 683 to $647.011.

representative to a 12-man ad-
visory council on school athletics
