Council Urges Virginia
Pay Full Teacher Cost

STATS from the State for each
assigned teaching position. The
difference between STATS and
the minimum is paid by the To-
cality. as is anything beyond the
minimum scale. The State-es-
tablished minimum is now 81, 200.
A program Of total State aid
would eliminate the distribution
of some $40 million annually
under two current methods
salary equalization and mini
mum education. Both methods
set up local effort requirements
One of the controversial points
in any formula attempt.
The State would pay salaries
Of classroom teachers, visiting
teachers, principals and super
visor. The localities would have
to pay for vocational or special
education teachers out of local
funds or get aid through other
programs.
Rising Costs Cited
The problem of paying for
buildings and equipment would
remain in the localities lap.
MANY students of our tax
system believe that the counties
and cities cannot greatly in
crease their levies upon present
tax sources" said the report.
School costs are rising and
they must be met and the same
is true of other governmental
expenditures. The State has not
yet been forced to develop addi-
tional revenue sources, but the
day is not far distant when this
will be necessary. The State can
find them-the localities cannot.
Council members who made
the study were John c. webb of
Fairfax. Harry Davis Of Princess
Anne, Felix Edmunds OF Waynes-
boro, George Hill of Warwick,
H. H. Purcell Of Louisa and Roy
Smith Of Petersburg.

RICHMOND. Va, Dec. II up.
The Virginia Advisory Legisla-
tive Council recommended today
that the State, eventually foot
the entire bill for public school
teacher salaries.
The proposal would mean an
increase in the States share of
the salary burden by at least $27
million.
But the council did not recon-
mend the new formula be
adopted Immediately. primarily
because it could propose no
means whereby the State could
come up with the additional
money.
I'VE had hoped" said the
councils lengthy report, ITO
recommend that this program be
made effective at once. The
problems now facing the schools
are so large and their solution
so dependent upon the amend
ment Of section 141 Of the con-
stitution that we are not able
to make a final recommendation
at this time"
Segregation Issue Included
This was a reference to the
January 9 referendum on the
proposal to amend the State
constitution to permit the State
to provide tuition grants for
private education.
The VALC is the investigative
arm Of the legislature.
In its school aid report, the
council made it clear that de-
spite the school segregation
problem the State need not wait
| for a settlement before putting
the new aid program into effect.
In fact, the report suggested
the new program would actually
tend to simplify the distribution
o; funds If the constitution is
amended to permit the tuition
grants.
Would Guarantee Minimum
The State, in taking over the
payment Of teachers salaries,
would guarantee only the min
imum to which the teacher
would be entitled under the ex-
listing or future salary scale. Lo-
calities would be free to supple
ment State salary payments.

Transition Held Needed
Yet, DR. Waterman said. per-
haps the primary fault lies In
the evolution Of the overall
school system. 1t was designed
originally to turn out ministers,
lawyers and doctors. Then some
transition. with special system
of colleges, was made to train
farmers. The Nations economic
system was based for more than
a century on agriculture. This
dual system remains and an
other transition is badly needed,
he stressed.
DR.. Waterman cited these
figures:
Between 1923 and 1854 Russia
graduated about $4,000 engi-
neers. In the same period the
United States graduated 480, 900.
In the same period Russia had
about 244.000 agricultural grad
yates. compared to $4,000 for
the United States.
At what sacrifice of individual
liberty this was accomplished is
not known, DR.. Waterman said,
and there is no desire to depart
from American principles Of free
choice of careers. But the figures
speak for themselves, he said.
