helps attract and hold qualified

The great demand for teachers
in the metropolitan area has led
to the employment Of some who
were unsuited for the job, either
by training or temperament.
An incredible turnover in fac
ulties has meant that some chill

teachers within a school year. No
one can say how these disrup-
tions will affect their future.
Parental Help Advocated

Berwyn mother. ''is for parents

That is precisely what many
parents do-now as for years
long gone.
A College Park executive
transferred his two sons from
public to private schools because
he felt overcrowding has broken
down the sound educational
processes.
"The older boy" he said,
wants to go to Amherst. He
simply wasn't being prepared
adequately. The schools, for ex-
ample, don't teach real mathe-
matics. They teach what they
call advanced arithmetic.
''The teachers colleges are put

yale and all the big UNIVERSE
ties are raising their standards
for entrance. The sad thing is
that a lot of people don't realize
until their children are ready
for college that they haven't
been prepared"
Some will agree with the criti-
cism. Some will regard it as too
harsh. But controversy is to be
expected always in a public serv-
ice Of such concern to each in
dividual.
For the suburbs, development
and expansion Of the schools is
but one challenge faced. The

THE METROPOLITAN VIEWPOINT
Vast School Expansion
Has Area in Its Grip

Metropolitan enrolment In
public schools now stands at
261 ,000., It is expected to exceed
$40 900 by 1860. Private schools
also are affected by the boom.
More than $4,000 pupils are en-
rolled in Catholic schools.
Even the most diligent boards
of education have found it i'm
possible to provide enough class
room units to accommodate all
students on ideal standards.
School patrons. who comprise
the most vocal unincorporated
lobby in America. have enjoyed
a reasonable measure Of success
in getting new buildings. Though
there have been many disap-
pointments, a majority Of pa
irons, now seems satisfied that
the school authorities are striv-
ing for progress in a thankless
task.
Use 2-Shift System
Still, overcrowding necessi-
tates double shifts at many area
schools. Fairfax, Montgomery
and Prince Georges are not yet
over the hump. At Oxon Hill, the
senior high school will have to
i:1augurate the two-shift system
next September to take care Of
the load.
Washington, itself, feels the
pinch. One large school with an
all-colored enrolment is on a
two-shift basis now, but hopes
for normal conditions with the
opening of q new building
nearby
One current problem irritat-
ing both patrons and teachers is
oversize classes. At least a third
of the District school classes
have more than SO pupils. The
goal is 80 per class.
The schools in Alexandria,
Arlington and Falls Church
meet this standard, but some
teachers feel the maximum class
enrolment should be Is.
People who move from city
to suburbs are inclined to like
the newer schools, most of which
are built on a single level on
spacious sites, amid pleasant
surroundings.
Teacher Lack Is Big Problem

Foirfox to Eliminate
Duplicated Street Names

Virginia jurisdictions and when a
new subdivision plat is filed, the
street names are checked to see
that none are being duplicated.
Until last year the county
had no authority to change the
name of a street. Mr.. Schuinann
said. At the request Of the Board
Of County Supervisors, the State
Legislature passed a law giving
counties the authority.
Mr.. Schumann said a survey of
all streets and the locations
where names are duplicated will
be undertaken this summer and
a systematic program set up. He

Fairfax County residents
whose mail often winds up at
the wrong place can take heart
the county Is about to embark
on a systematic street-naming
program.
One of the chief complaints
heard in the rapidly growing
county is about the confusion
caused by duplication of street
names.
The county planning depart
ment plains to begin a program
during the next fiscal year to
eliminate as much duplication
as possible.
Planning Director Herbert F.
Schumann, ir.. said the county
had no control over street nam
ing until a subdivision ordinance
was adopted in 1947. Until that
time the developers just named
streets according to their fancy,
Mr.. Schumann said.
Favorite Street Names
Washington was one of the
favorite names. There's Wash
ington street, avenue. place. drive
and lane. Among other favorites
are Oak, Richmond, Lee and
Hill.
In many cases there is a dupli-
cation Of names between Fair
fax County streets and those in
neighboring Jurisdictions. For
instance the Alexandria post Of
flee has to decide whether mail
should go to Oak street in Alex
andria or Oak street in Groveton
in the county.

whether it's street, avenue or
what, we really have a time"
said Walter H. Sealock, post
master at the Falls Church
Post Office.
Leslie c. Lane, superintendent
of mail at the Alexandria Post
Office, says the duplication
causes a great deal of confusion
and delay.

Not long ago a distraught
father stroned into q nearby
schoolhouse and asked to see his
sons teacher.
"What's her name?" inquired
the principal.
miss Meany," replied Dad.
"I'm sorry" said the principal.
I'VE have no teacher by that
name"
"Well," sighed the father,
that's what Junior calls her.
When he recovered from the
humiliation, Dad had a salts
factory conversation with prin-
cipal and teacher. Together they
ironed out some difficulties that
helped get Junior back on the
track.
Though Junior is sometimes at
fault, he is not always to blame
for frictions eternally cropping
up at school.
Victim of Expansion
He happens to be caught right
now in a hectic scramble for
education during the unprece-
dented expansion of Metropolitan
Washington.
Like all sensible parents, Jun
ior's mother and father want
him to have benefit of every pos
sible opportunity. They expect
modern school buildings close at
hand, top-f1ight teachers, small
classes, full day sessions, a better
curriculum and textbooks above
suspicion. They want kindergar-
tens, cafeterias and big, attrac-
tive Fairgrounds.
The trouble is, they can't get
everything at once.
'Small wonder.
In Fairfax County, alone, the
school population skyrocketed
from 5000 in 1916 to 28,200 this
year. The experts figure the total
will rise to 1880 within five
more years.
The situation is much the same
in all suburban sections of the
metropolitan area. Enrollments
have increased enormously in
Alexandria, Arlington. Falls
Church, Montgomery and Prince
Georges.
Gains in the District are less
spectacular but. nevertheless.
steady.
$1OO Million Business
Public education in the area
has become a $100-million busi-
ness. That's what the taxpayers
are spending annually for con-
struction and operation of their
schools. But even this vast outlay
does not permit the communities
to catch 1p with all their needs.
