payment of the interest and
principal" on the bonds.

Whitehead Rops Stanley
On School Bond Trouble

RICHMOND, Dec. 4 Dr.
Gov. Stanley says the difficulty
Virginia localities are having in
selling school construction bonds
i"is no different from that Of To-

Stanley said an offering of 81
million worth Of "A" rated school
bonds by Hampstead, Long Is
land, N. Y. last week was not
sold when the most favorable
effective interest rate was AIS
per cent.
But Delegate Robert White

the no-integration school pro-
gram advocated by the Governor
would cripple the bond market

The Montgomery County
School Board decided last night
to try to increase its spending
for textbooks by 100000 a year
after hearing testimony that
some students do not have
enough textbooks and many are
not permitted to take them home
because of shortage.
Board member Wayne Birdsell
said his child had been without
textbooks in two subjects. DR..
Thomas Pyle. assistant super
intendent, said last years ap-
preparation of 1921 900 for text
books was simply not enough to
provide a book per pupil in the
basic subjects"
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, superin-
,tendent of schools. told the
board some books are being
passed from class to class be-
cause there are not enough to go
around.
The board voted to raise
spending on the high school level
to $24 for textbooks for each new
student in the system and allow
$6 for replacement books for
students already enrolled. On
the elementary level, the pro-
posed allotments will be $18 and
$3.50.
One Dissent
The vote on the issue was 5 to
1, with Wylie Barrow protesting
there was insufficient informa-
ton to raise the textbook pur-
chasing standard from last years
lower allotment. Harrison King
abstained from voting.
The textbook question came
as the board began deliberations
on the 1957l58 budget.
The session saw a sharp differ
ence of opinion develop between
DR.. Norris and the Montgomery
County Education Association,
which represents the teachers in
salary fights. DR.. Norris found
his proposal to provide $36.950
for additional pay for varsity
sport coaches in the high schools

which wants pay raises across
the board.

money, while coaches are extend
ing their working day without
compensation. He declared he
will continue to fight for extra
pay for coaches. together with
funds for expanding what he
considers an inadequate sports
program in the county's high
schools.
In the forthcoming budget, he
will ask $4,000 to build a stad-
lum at one of the large secondary
schools. At present, only one Of
II senior high schools has a
stadium.
The Education Association,
through its spokesman Eric
Rhodes, formally presented to
the board their proposal for a
$4,000-$7,000 teachers salary
scale for next year. The scale,
the goal for teachers in four
suburban school districts around
