ly by the Maryland Congress Of

ton. The proposed program covers
the need for 1000 classrooms per
year for the next six years, 5000
teachers annually for the next five
years, and an increase in state
minimum salary scale from $500
$4,000 to $3,2O0-S5,0O0. There were

tirement benefits, increasing aid
to public Libraries, more training

corning the program. The purpose,
he said, was to become better ac-
1uainted with the proposals SO that
all those who may be directly al
feeteI by them would be IN posi-
ton to respond IN way favorable
to the best educational interests of
the county.
The new classrooms are needed
, to replace classrooms now housed

ing conditions. A two hundred mill
hon dollar construction is proposed
for this, one half to come from
state sources and one half from
: local units; money to be expended
at the rate of $50 million per year
for five years.
For the 5000 teachers needed
annually for five years, 1000 were
, to care for increased enrollments
and 1000 for requirements. Less
than 1000 per year are now pro-
vided by Maryland teacher train
ing institutions.
1t is proposed to train more
teachers by expanding teacher
training colleges and increasing
pay scale for college teaching at
an estimated cost of 8 million dol
lars; improve retirement benefits
(average retirement pay for last
school year was $75 per month";;
increase state contribution to bring

ice to one half average salary for
: highest ten years of service, and
