leaders and personnel officials
before making any specific pro-

The csc stan proposes abol-

pervisors give employees a written
evaluation Of their work each
year. The written evaluation
would be for guidance purposes
only and would not be used for
disciplinary or dismissal pur-

The union leaders reaction
was that they agreed the present
adjective rating system was
meaningless and should be abol-
ished. But why stop at that,
they argued. Most union Of
ficials declared the entire per-
Torrance rating system should
be scrapped and that no annual

tanned. They declare it is up
to Congress to decide whether
the rating program should be
abolished in its entirety.
The written evaluation pro-
posal would also need congress
sional approval. but csc officials
feel that Congress would be more
apt to approve this kind Of re-
vision than to sanction the COM
plete adjustment of the rating
program.
Employe leaders contend an
intensive program Of selecting
the best possible employees for
supervisory jobs and training
them for their duties would re-
suit in satisfactory working re-
lationships between employe and
supervisor and do away with the
necessity Of any formal rating
program.
EXPENSIVE TURNOVER-In
testifying before the House Civil
Service Committee on retirement
legislation, Michael hardwood,
president of the National FEEDER
alton Of Federal Employees, made
this point:
According to the Hoover Com

civil service. replacement costs
(reSulting from normal employee
turnover) run about $500 per
employe or. during the year 1854,
the total cost, based on a 557, 600
turnover, would approximate
$278 million.

gram (such as contained in the
Senate-approved Johnston bill)

incentive for those career en-
ployes now on the rolls to re-

RULINGS The Controller Gem
eral has ruled that Federal EN-
ployes improperly separated from
their Jobs between March Is.
1855. and June rs, 1855, the
date Of enactment Of the CLASH
fled pay raise, are entitled to
retroactive pay for the period
dating to March Is. The pay
boost voted by Congress was
retroactive to that date. The
decision held that. when en-
ployes in such cases are ordered
restored to their jobs by the
Civil Service Commission, they
are entitled to full retroactive
pay.
The Controller General also
held that Federal employees are
not entitled to longevity pay in

we can with confidence entruSt this future We expect
them to be not only competent but to be understand
ing sympathetic indeed to stand in loco PARENTS TO
our children. We would like teachers to be ded
Gated to their work but do pay them according to
their responsibilities Not only teachers salaries at
best modest but their fixed income is made more
inadequate by imitation which since the war has steadily
eaten into the purchasing power of the dollar.
1t is ironc that teachers along with firemen, police
men, nurses and others who provide the community
with essential services the first to suffer and the last
to receive redress from hardShps caused by imitation
The Vigor of the teaching profession should be
restored We must recognize that teachers con-
cerned as the rest of with enjoying comfortable
standard of living We must give the teacher the imam
cial rewards he deserves. This is fact which every
state, every city, every school board should face.
In addition if we are to make teaching more attrac
tive, we must also give outstanding teachers the
public recognition which is the fruit of every other
professions Iabors In the world of letters distinguished
achievement is recognized by the Pulitzer Nobel
Prizes Hollywood has its Oscars. Even athletics has
its "aIl-Stars and most valuable players. Why should
there not be similar tangible and visible reward for
great teaching? Why should not every town and village
in the country join in its way, and shape to its
own Standards tribute to its outstanding teachers?
ssGoIden key'' For Teacher And Pupil
We already have an example for such plan Last
February group of six leading national educational
associations gave President Eisenhower Golden Key
for his service the schools in calling for last years
White House Conference Education In turn he was
asked recall teacher Of his grade hghschool
days whom he remembered as of the first nSpira
lions to his young mind.
The President recalled Miss Addie B. Over, of
Abilene, Kan At Atlantic City, Miss Over was honored
with Golden Key along with her pupil, Dwight
Eisenhower. Educators hailed the occasion a step
toward giving the entire profession the dignity and
recognition it merits
The tribute to Miss Over offers a precedent every
other community might follow. Each community might
select every year outstanding citizen who would be
asked recall the teacher who set off the spark that
LIT the fires of enthusiasm. The student known for his
work and admired for his achievement, would then be
given public citation; his teacher at the time
would be honOred and rewarded with substantial prize
Each locality would set its own standards and pro-
cedes in rewardng its outstanding teachers The great
thing that all these grassrootS ceremonies would have
in common would be reunte the student and teacher
in what from the first joint enterprise And the
teacher would be rewarded and his recognition shown
for all the world to see.

The New 'BaruCh Plan"
Why It's Needed,
How Il Works

The accompanying article proposes way to
combat the disastrous shortage of good teachers.
Here's how severe the crisis is becoming:
Last year we were short 10000 teachers.
. In the next four years our school population
will jump six million.
That means we must recruit $4,000 teachers,
aside from requirements, by 1860.
Mr.. Baruch proposes method for making
teaching more attractive profession by giving
outstanding teachers the public recognition and
reward they deserve. Here's how his plan might
work in typical community:
I. Each spring committee could pick an out
standing younger man or woman who has made
noteworthy professional or civic contributions.
z. The person selected would be asked to name
the teacher whom he recalls as being the greatest
source of help and inspiration to him during his
school days.
;. A dignifed public ceremony would be held at
which the teacher would be honored and awarded
a monetary prize, as big as the community can
afford. The money would be raised by contribu-
tons from individuals, service organizations and
business firms.

Public Hearing Slated, Juneau, On Hospitals

A public hearing on the 1956-57 plan for construction of hospitals and medical facilities in Alaska will be held in Juneau on September 10, announced Dr. Charles R. Hayman, acting commissioner of health.
 The plan is under the federal Hill- Burton program through which matching funds are available.
 Nearly million dollars are avail- able on 50 per cent matching basis for Alaskan hospitals and medical facilities.
 Dr. Hayman added that "the greatest need in hospital construc- tion in Alaska is to replace many of the old hospital buildings which are fire hazards"
 No Alaska communities made ap- plication for aid under the pro- gram last year because they did not have the necessary 50 per cent in matching funds.
 The matching fund allotment is available at the rate of $500,000 an- nually, but monies unused within two years revert to the federal treasury or may be transferred to other states.
