The Board Of Education and
the District Commissioners
will soon have placed before
them a proposal for extra pay
for coaches in the District
public schools.
National Education Associa-
ton studies show that IS per
cent Of our larger cities pay
extra compensation for coach
ing. Coaches in the local high
schools receive compensatory
time for their coaching duties.
This compensatory or time of
plan is neither satisfactory to
the coaches nor fair to the stu
dents. In a large school system
such as ours 1t would take at
least two additional teachers
in each high school to ade-
quately cover the coaching load
and give the necessary time to
the classroom Institutional pro-
gram. Obviously it would be
far cheaper to give extra pay
for coaching duties rather than
add the cost Of two extra
teachers to the staff Of each
school. AS it is now. when
coaches are given time of. the
students are deprived of their
full quota of teachers.
A coach. whether he be
coaching on the junior high
school. senior high school or
college level in our District
public school system, deserves
an adequate salary on which
to maintain a decent standard
of professional living. There
are many good arguments for
extra compensation, to wit:
Cd The coach is in a crucial
position Of influence over the
students in his charge when
they are most receptive. 90
The coach is in a crucial posi-
ton to win or lose public sup
port for the schools. His
accomplishments. his methods
and the results in terms of
physical vigor. character and
craftsmanship is evaluated in
the public eye. 90 Coaching is
an extra assignment with great
responsibility added to a nor
NAL teaching load. and it is
only fair to pay for the extra
skill. training and energy that
he must give beyond the regu-
lar teaching day.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL

The prefixes and sufixes
seemed to glow, rather than be
just beginnings and endings.
Words were seen to be things
alive. rather than mere ink
and type and paper.
We recall the old Latin book
in high school, but not its
name.
And not the book, so much,
as its teacher!
She was a little woman, with
gray hair, and a vast de-
termination to beat the an
cient tongue into recalcitrant
heads If she had to lose her
soul doing it.
She operated much as Gen.
Grant did. when he said he
would fight it out along his
line If it took all summer.
Miss Real 1--WE will call her
that had a fierce determina-
ton to do her best.
She loved her work, evi.
IDENTIFY. though none of her
students realized that. then.
Perhaps students never do,
or do they today?
Certainly, young people are
different today.
Heard two elderly women
talking about today's crop.
They just don't have as
much fun as we had" she
said. with a sad shake of her
head. They are so serious"
They have to be. lady, what
with wars and your obliga-
ton to the Army" and so on.
In our younger days, wars
were thought ended, or almost
so.
II really labofed with the
geometry" writes H. G. r.
from Florida. and thought
that now I might enjoy it."
Well. maybe!
"As for the Latin" concludes
Mrs. r., that is to take care
Of a nostalgia feeling"
Well, maybe!
But when one thinks back
to the old days, and in the
minds eye sees that little,
straight mouth of Miss Real,
to whom Caesar was more
living than Roosevelt Teddy,
one is inclined to believe that
at this late date nostalgia
must wait another remedy.

Quotes

There is a persistent rumor
that another Of those futile,
''high-level," four-power con-
ferences is in the ofiing. After
the First World War. the nov

Sir Hugh Clifford:
THE NANCY Russian dog,
having gone mad, is now being
invited to sit at the conference
table. on British initiative!

there it is. In class con-
test there is no room for cen
Citation. The issue Is
simply life and death, and. If
anything can save the situa-

Of the Eisenhower administra-
ton. What would Conrad say

liberals. trembling before the

And we are left, or shall be
left. alone
The last that dares to struggle
with the foe.
IT Is well!-from this day
forward we shall know
mat In ourselves our SaIety
must be sought:
That by our own right-hands
1t must be wrought:
That we shall stand unpropp'd
or be laid low.
o bastard! whom such
foretaste doth not cheer!
We shall exult. If they who
rule the land
Be men who hold its many
blessings dear,
Wise. upright. valiant; not

A. There are no figures to
prove this point. although
some scattered research has
been done on colors as related
to accidents. In general.
colors which blend into the
color Of highway or roadside
are dangerous; and different
colors may produce this effect
at different times Of day. One
city found that more than half
the cars involved in collisions
at city intersections during a
certain period were light gray

idea to remove or disregard the

matter of seconds to twist them
around and take the frame of

again in a matter of seconds
and there is none of the angling
for the hooks which usually
takes place with orthodox
hangers.
Because Of the fact that
screens set fiat in the window

any movement, and require
practically no very solid fasten-
ing, two of the buttons on each

is absolutely no chance of the

All homeowners who do their
own work around the house
know that the hangers at the
top of window screens are q
constant source of annoyance
Not only do these small hooks
and eyes bend out of shape:
they also are fastened with very
small screws which pull out OF
the frames. It is not unusual
to have to wiggle a screened
frame back and forth to make
it engage the hooks properly
and 1t is not unusual to have
to reset them.
There are a few occasions
when a screened frame has to
be taken down, and that is gen.
orally when a window is to be
washed or the screen changed
for a storm sash. AS most of
us know. it is awkward work to
try to wash a window with the
screen unfaStened at the bot
tom and still hanging from the
top, and most of us dislike the
trouble of taking it on alto
lgether.
