Teacher Shortage
Reported Solved
In Fuirfux County

The critical teacher shortage
in the Fairfax County schools
has been solved, according to
Charles Wissiger, jr., director OF
school personnel.
Mr.. Wissiger said that 10l
teacher vacancies, reported re-
Gently to the school board, have
been reduced to 10.
He said that of 81 vacancies in
elementary school teaching posts
all but 16 have been filled. OF
these 16. he said, all but three
contracts have been verbally
agreed on.
Mr.. Wissiger said vacancies in
the high schools have been re-
duced from IA to three. Vacan-
cies still remain for two mathe-
mates and one vocal music
teacher. These posts will be filled
by substitute teachers when
schools open.
Mr.. Wissiger said the school
Iofficials have not filled an addi-
tional 13 elementary school,
vacancies because elementary
principals said that these po-
|sitions may not be justified by
student enrolment.

Schoo|surged
To Be Moderate

An Arlington School Board
member today called for a mod
crate" approach to racial and
other classroom problems.
Addressing a pre-school meet
ing of Arlington public school
teachers, Mrs. Barbara Riches
said:
I'm our attempts to arrive at
and to carry out solutions to
these educational problems, we
must endeavor INCREASINGLY to
give sympathetic understanding
to differing points of view."
Mrs. Riches went on to urge
that Northerners make every
effort to understand the atti-
tudes and feelings Of many Of
those whose lives have been
spent in the Southern States
Speaking at Washington-Lee
High School, Mrs. Riches added:
1T is my prayerful belief that
by pursuing a moderate, thought
full course-by eschewing extrem-
ist points of view on any side
of this controverSy-by consult
ing with and working with all
persons of good will in the COM
munity, we can solve not only
these problems but all OF our
problems relating to education
School Supt. T. Edward Ruttef
told the teachers:
"At this critical period in the
Commonwealth, l hope that men
of good will will cooperate to
strengthen our public school
system"
