The Smith committee is
scheduled to meet tomorrow. The
chairman said it was not Ger.

leaders might be allowed to ap.
pear, but that the hearings
would be resumed later if neces-
sary and he would try to "give

to be heard"
May Call on Board
Representative Harris. Demo
crat of Arkansas, a member Of
Representative Smiths commit
tee. said the committee might
call the Board of Education te
explain the teacher situation.
Mr.. Gillilland already has ap-
peared before the committee. On
Thursday he challenged testi-
mony by Commissioner Samuel
Spencer that the proposed city
financial program would take
care of the public schools ade-
Quately.
The PTA leader specifically
took issue with q Statement by
Mr.. Spencer that the Junior and
senior highs can afford to give
up teacher salaries to the ele-
mentary schools.
The PTA congress board OF
managers two weeks ago opposed
city plans to cut back junior and
senior highs by so teachers. Par
ents also have been strongly
battling for 1853 new elementary
teachers to start a three-yeal
program to reduce class sizes
This campaign also has been
given a cold shoulder by the
Commissioners.
Had Anticipated Surplus
The Board of Education itself,
last August approved the So
teacher cutback in secondary
schools. The argument at that
time was that on the basis on
which the school system has long
figured it's teacher needs -
city-wide averaging Of pupils and
teachers at 25-to-1 per class in
senior highs and 28-to-1 in
junior highs-the secon d. airy
schools next fall would have a
stable surplus.
However, recently the cutback
has come under fire within the
school administration itself. Two
assistant superintendent DR.
Carl F. Hansen, who has charge
of high schools, and Lawson j,
Cantrell, who heads junior highs
have publicly stated their OPP
position.
! And the school board itself re-
Gently ordered the plan re-
studied. Several members said
last month that they were not
aware the cutback was being ap-
proved at all last summer. and
Walter N. Tobriner, personnel

chairman, said last week that he
is fatty opposed to it.
Corning To Report
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing is scheduled to give the
board a new report on the whole
subject Wednesday. Mr.. Tobrin-
er said he cannot. conceive" that
any member could back the pro-
posed slash.
DR.. Hansen, who several weeks
ago submitted to DR.. Corning a
report objecting to the cutback,
has urged that the school system
set up an entirely new method
Iof figuring teacher needs.
DR.. Hansen's contention is that
the present method-computing
an average class size for the city
hides the fact that many
classes are far oversize. 1t also
does not take into account the
necessity of maintaining some
small classes because of limita-
Itions of space or of the number
jof pupils who want to take a
given subject.
Ask Realistic Ceilings
The high schools can't spare
teachers without making some
classes more crowded. putting an
impossible burden on teachers,
Ior cutting out essential courses,
lDr. Hansen has commended.
Instead of the present averag-
ing, he has urged setting up a
realistic set Of class-Size ceilings
based on what is desirable for
each subject and class situation.
DR.. Hansen recently also re-
ported to DR.. Corning that the
high schools currently have a
very serious number of students
tagging in reading and arith-
lmetic. He has proposed setting
up city-wide program of spe-
Icial remedial classes next fall to
cope with this situation.
Such a remedial program will
he impossible if there is any
teacher reduction. he has stated.
on the contrary, 1t would require
additional teachers.
Representative Smith late last
week said he is aware of the
situation in the school system.
Declaring that in his opinion
the schools "are in a mess" he
asserted that classes are too
large and that he knows the
schools need to bring the lag

He said he feels parents do not

for the education of their chill

favor increasing District taxes
in order to provide more money
for the school system in the
pending budget, which is due to
go to Congress tomorrow.
Harris Pledges Help
Representative Harris. Dem
ocrat of Arkansas. told The Star
he intends to pursue the school
systems budget problem in this
weeks hearings.
Mr.. Harris, who set off
Wednesdays dispute between
Commissioner Spencer and Mr..
|Gillilland with an inquiry about
the budgets adequacy. declared
I'm interested in seeing that
the schools get adequate funds. "
He also said he considers it
important for Congress to ex-
plore the problem thoroughly
now. asserting:
I'VE don't want to be faced
with this thing again in the next
year or So"
Mr.. Gillilland, whose organiza-
.tion has already called on the
Commissioners to allot a bigger
share of the Districts income to
the schools, noted in a statement
filed with the committee that
many PTA members already
have indicated a willingness to
pay more taxes If the schools
benefit.
He also urged that the Fed
eral payment to the District be

the city's expenses.
