School officials are confused
over the total number of teach
!ers that will be in the system
this year. One official said the
total will be 2,100, including 900
new classroom teachers and %
new special area teachers. In
addition. the official indicated,
authorities had to hire 227 new
teachers to replace those who
resigned since last year.
School budget figures indicate
that last year there were 1884
teachers on the payroll.
The superintendent said the
elementary schools will place q
heavier concentration on the
three Rs" as a result Of the
testing program last year which
indicated a weakness in these
fields in some schools.
More Remedial Reading
The remedial reading program
will be expanded from three
full-time and one part-time
teacher to at least 10 by De-
!cember. DR.. Norris said.
The superintendent added
that IL to IA teachers will be
added this year to help handi-
capped children along with i've
new music instructors, five new
art teachers, two physical edu-
cation teachers and three IL
brarians in the elementary field.
In addition, DR.. Norris hopes
to retain a new supervisor Of
Ipenmanship for the system.
The latest figures available to
the public indicate that IL ele-
mentary schools will receive
colored pupils as result Of the
closing of the Linden, Takoma
Park River Road and Ken Gar
Negro schools. All four are
considered sub-Standard and are
in the suburban area.

Enrolment in Fairfax stood al

Dark Years
The darkest years were 1850
and 1851. A SOS million bond
issue was voted in 1850 for new
school buildings, but sale OF
those bonds was delayed l6
months by litigation. Bond issue
foes considered it ridiculous to
spend so much money on big
schools that they couldn't believe
ever would be filled.
Families kept pouring into the
county while school construction
practically stood still because
of the litigation. Finally, legality
of the bonds was established and
the School Board started selling
the SOS million issue in 1851.
There were more than enough
children to fill all the school!
| planned in the SOS million pro-
gram before it was finished. An.
other bond issue of $l1 million
was voted in 1853. These two
bond issues, plus funds received
by the county from Federal anc
State sources. make a total Of
$50 million spent on school con.
struction in the last five years
including those schools still
under construction that should
be ready during the coming year
Courses Added
/ Music, art, remedial reading
shop, home economics, speech
guidance and classes for handi-
capped children have been added
to the curriculum. Fairfax
County's teacher salary scale
ranks among the highest in the
State. The average salary dur
ing the last session was $500.
! This years budget provides fol
an Institutional staff of 1,30t
comparable LIP last year. One
hundred and twenty-five schoo
buses are operated.
All Of the county's high schools
are accredited. A seventh county
high school is opening this yeal
at Mclean.
A $22 million bond issue is tt
be submitted to the voters In
November to build enough new
schools to serve q total enroll
ment Of 47,60o.

II, 500 Enrolment
BY PAUL HOPE

Alexandria schools will open
September 8 with only three OF
the city's Is schools overcrowdec
to the point where space other
than regular classrooms will be
used for instruction.
Supt. T. c. williams said the
enrolment is expected to be APP
proximately 12,500. about 1000
more than last years figure.
The three schools most az
fected by increased enrolment
are Patrick Henry and Minnie
Howard Elementary Schools in
the area annexed in 1852 from
Fairfax County and George
Washington High School.
. Additions Under Way
Additions are now under con-
struction at both the elementary
schools, but will not be ready
for occupancy until mid-Oc-
tober. Mr.. Williams said.
Eight more rooms are being
built at the Patrick Henry
School, located near the huge
Shirley Duke Apartment devel-
opment off Duke street. Until
the work is finished. classrooms
will be set up in music, shop
and home economics rooms and
in the library auditorium.
Some of these special activi-
ties rooms also will be used for
claSSroomS at Minnie Howard
School, located off upper King
street. Five more classrooms are
being constructed at this school.
Another Seven-room addition
is under construction at Mac
Arthur Elementary School on
Janneys lane. Mr.. Williams said
all three projects were sched-
uled to be finished by September
!, but construction delays were
encountered. principally because
some materials couldn't be OBJ
tanned when needed.
At George Washington High
School approximately 1900 stu
dents will be enrolled in a build
ing with normal capacity of
about 1900. Mr.. Williams said
study halls and other areas are
being used for classrooms there,
but the regular instruction will
not spill over into the special
activities rooms.
The Cora Kelley Elementary
School at the northern end of
Commonwealth avenue will open
for the first time this September.
The new 100000 school will
have 20 classrooms, plus music,
shop and home economics rooms,
library, clinic, administrative
Offices and auditorium.
Last Of Big Program
Another project now under
construction--the last of a SIS
million construction programs
the Francis Hammond High
School on Seminary road in the
annexed area. The $2.3 million
project is expected to be An
ished by September, 1856.
The new high school will re-
lieve the overcrowding at George
Washington High and will take
care Of an expected increase in
high school enrolment in the
next few years.

to 0 lead. Then they settled back,
let the Streaks catch up, and had
to put on desperation last ditch
stand in the final quarter to pull
the game out of the fire The
Porters had a 1873 advantage at
the end of the first period, lost it
and trailed 26 to % at halftime.
Coach Jack Fritas' Blue Streaks
widened the gap in the 3rd frame
ringing the bell for IA points while
the Porters were collecting IL to
give the Streaks a 40 to 35 lead at
the three quarter mark.
Then the Redskins put on their
Rhode Island speed shoes" and
proceeded to run the Streaks into
the ground as they racked up 4
field goals and 9 fouls for II points
while holding Sandusky to points
on two field goals. The Redskins
defense was terrific in this fina
period as they forced their oppon
ents to shoot from out, then pickec
off the rebound and shot dowr
the floor on their fast break fol
lay up shots.
Port Clinton really jelled in the
4th period and overcame 4D to 3s
deficit to hang loss number two
on Sandusky while they uppee
their record to two wins and two
losses.
Johnny Papcun was top gun fol

fielders and 4 fouls for Is. Nicl
Ball followed with 13 and Tim Mul

The Redskins picked up the slack
and knotted the count at 81 all
before they lost 3 of their regulars
via the foul route.
Slim Tim Mulligan, Nick Ball

forced to retire prematurely due
to personal fouls. With them
went Port Clinton's hopes for an

gave Tiffin all they could handle.
