tive issued school principals last
July by the new superintendent,
DR.. Carl F. Hansen.
Seek to Boost Achievement
The major job of the local
system is to boost tagging
achievement levels. Academ-
ically, it is the only measure
of the work the system is
doing.
IF your school in any grade
fails to attain a standard me-
dian of achievement In the
survey tests at any grade level,
you will then provide a spe-
cific and detailed analysis Of
the causes of this result.
Faculties on Spot
'It is understood that not
every school will achieve at a
standard level. However, will
need from you your analysis Of
the reasons for this situation
as evidence that you have done
all within your power to COR
rect the condition"
In short, principals and
teachers are on the spot to
produce.
The weakest link in the sys.
TENS chain of schools is at
District Teachers College. The
school will open, still laboring
under the stigma that its ac-
creditation may be removed.
And sometime this school year
officials and Board of Educa-
ton members will finally de-
eide its future.
Tomorrow marks the start Of
the 1880 year for the system
in the District of Columbia.
School officials feel it promises
to be one of the better ones.

innovations in District public
education.
Statistically. the system
shapes up like this:
The estimated enrolment is
about 2,400 more
pupils than last year. Racially,
the Negro enrolment is ex-
pected to rise about two points
to 1873 per cert Of the total
enrolment. There will be 4.285
teachers to handle the load.
Part-time Glasses Cut
Part-time classes-long a
sore point-have been dras-
tically reduced from 1853 to ITO
by employing school auditor
ium space in most cases and
by moving the whole student
nurse school from the Slater
school to the third floor of the
old Armstrong High School.
Slater, in turn, will be turned
into an elementary school.
Class-size ratio-an average
which applies only to elemen-
tary schools-will be reduced
to 32.4, compared to 1871 last
year.
New buildings include an
addition to the Young elemen-
tary school and one at the
Anacostia High School. The
new health school should be
ready by October and an addi-
ton to Moten elementary
school, by December. Serious
crowding will occur at Ana
costa where the addition is
not completely finished, but
should be, by next month.
New Wrinkles Added
The brightest change in the
new school year lies in the
number of wrinkles added to
the old educational routine.
These include:
/. The school year is one
week longer.
2. The entrance age for kind
ergarten was raised in an at
tempt to exclude children
considered to immature for
school.
8. At least 20 Junior pri-
mary" classes will be set UP
within first grades for children
finding it hard to make the
transition from kindergarten to
the first grade.
4. Educational television in
the form of a series of science
programs will be introduced for

The police depart ment could be reduced by one member, with the city manager deputized to serve as daytime police officer, thereby saving one salary. An extra man could he retained to work in the police department as spare this is just a suggestion, he continued. something to give some thought to- At the present time our DO lice department and its related expenses are costing Us some $2O, ,0O0 year !. x. that's lot of money for town of this size.

NON AR RTISAN RALLY DRAWS ABOUT 75


 mistress-of- ceremonies at the non- partisan rally sponsored by the Northland Pioneer Grange and the Matanuska Valley Cham Der of Commerce last Thursday evening Nearly 75 persons at tending the rally and heard from former Gov. Ernest Gruening, (D), and U- s. Senate candidate; Mrs. Doris Mckinley, (R), James Hurley (D), and Gerritt Heinie) Snider D, the latter three, can didates to the House from the To- cal district.
 The first speaker called upon was Hurley who gave brief out line of the Democratic party, stating that in his opinion the Democratic party is a party re- presenting the people who have a harder struggle to maintain their livelihood. Although he said he preferred to be a candidate not on any particular problem, but rather on being able to choose which decision would be the best for the populated area which he would represent. However, he stated he believes the farm truck licensing now in existance is un- fair tO the farmer and fisherman who uses his truck only few days Out Of one or two months of the year, yet is charged the same scale license fee as a trucker who uses the roads 90 percent of the time. He advocates more strict regulations pertaining to the sale of securities in Alaska; he stated he feels the probate code in Alaska is very unwieldy, ex- pensive, and unfair. The Code needs "streamlining', he said. The present system of refunds to the school districts should be changed to allow more realistic refunds No the more populated areas.
 Mrs. Mckinley came out strong in her recommendations for 8 state board of education; the highway system should be ex- banded to join isolated commun-
 ities, but not at the expense ot the schools, she said. An urgent M need for an increase in the Al aska Agricultural Loan Fund is apparent. she said, and also stat ed that owners of vehicles used primarily for farming, mining and other off highway purposes should not be required to pay the same tax as highway users. Mrs W Mckinley pointed out, in speak ling of the State school system
 that developing a good school sys- M tenn has been a most important part of the Territorial program I''and it will have d place of first \ importance in the State organiza- 0tion. .+tIt is important, when We I consider schools and their cost " that We remember that adequate I training is our investment in our children"
 I Gerritt tHeinie) Snider, Inde- H pendent candidate to the HolEe told the gathering that in 1916 me voted the Democratic ticket because Of the people in the party at that time; later he voted the Republican ticket for the same reason; and that he was now running oh the Independent ticket so he can look over the different platforms. Snider states he believes Alaska should pro- vide enough money for the "old- timers to live on provide free hunting and fishing privil- ' eges for those of 60 years Of age. Snider pointed out that he too is opposed to the truck licensing
