mittee: mo. This statement
is in direct contradiction to
the advice of experts who
are concerned about getting
the best brains in our col
leges. men and women, to
meet the challenge that faces
us. No tests that ! have ever
seen indicate that men have
q higher 10 than women.
Women are making just as
great q contribution intel
lectually as our men. The
answer lies not in cutting
down the number Of women
who would attend but doing
o better job of screening men
and women so we get those
who have the greatest po-
tential. So women graduate
and get married. Men get
married, too. Women, If they
have had the opportunity to
go to college. can often do q
better job and make a real
contribution to the families
they raise and then go back
into the business world and
make q further contribution
to society. Furthermore, I

Eyes, though I must say my
first impression is that this

DIR. HELEN D. BRAGDON,
general director Of. the Amer

sity Women: mo. Since
from the AAUW point Of view
there are values for both
sexes in coeducation and in
separate education, the better
solution is to operate by
strengthening and expand
ing existing types Of institu-
tons and educational pro-
grams. Furthermore since
the demand for the college
woman's contribution to fu-
ture needs in the labor market
will be considerable, we be-

Merit Scholarship
Exams 10 Be
Conducted April 20

The National Merit Scholar
ship Qualification Test, which is
now administered during the
junior year in high school, will
be given at Palmer high school
on Tuesday, April %, according
10 Mildren Siddall, director of
guidance.
The National Merit Scholar
ship Corporation administers the
nations largest independently
supported college scholarship
program for high school students.
In the 1878 academic year, it
provided more than SIS million
worth of four-year scholarships.
The amount Of the scholarship
IS determined by financial need,
and is renewable annually with
out further competitive examina-
ton.
This national program, which
embraces all u. S. territories and
possessions, sends thousands of
deserving students to college
students whose unusual talents
might otherwise be wasted due to
their inability to finance the in
creasing cost of higher education.
The 1958-59 testing program is
designed to provide more service
70 participating students and
schools. While it will still serve
primarily as preliminary
screening instrument to select
thousands of scholarship winners
the program has several new
important guidance and educa-
4jonal planning features.
These additional benefits will
be best realized by testing at the
end of the junior year rather than
at the start of the senior year
These new values are such that

many students will want to take
the test for purposes of educa-
tional or vocational planning,
even though they do not expect
TO win a scholarship.
All students will receive a re-
port of their scores. These test
results will enable students to
understand their present acade-
mic strengths and weaknesses,
will give them facts with which
to plan their senior year, will
help them to decide about going
to college, and will enable them
to select college courses Of study
in which they are most likely to
succeed.
All high school students in their
second-semester junior year or
first-semeSter senior year are
eligible to take the test. Students
can be enrolled in any public,
private, or parochial school in
the 48 states, the District of Col
umbia, Alaska the Canal Zone,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the Vir-
gin Islands. The charge for tax
ing the test is ST per student,
payable on the examination day,
In event Of financial hardship,
a limited number of students will
be tested free. Tests will be given
from 9 am. to noon in all par
ticipating high schools, April 29.

NelU Features asked
In Whittier Budget

Here of the innovations recommended in
Superintendent c. Taylor Whitters proposed operating
budget for 1959-60:
A substantial pay boost for teachers, which Whit
tier says is necessary to compete in the employment
ket and to reduce teacher turnover The schedule
would raise starting pay from $4,000 to $4500 and top
masters pay from $4,000 to $780,
A 12month school year plan to allow greatly
expanded teaching and nservce training program in the
summer 1t would go into effect in the of 1860
and would be optional for both pupils and teachers.
An evening high school program for adults who
want secondary degrees. This would start on very
small scale next year, but with the ultimate aim of de-
veopng into a ful-fledged high school program.
Greatly expanded fine arts centers for both ele-
mentary and secondary pupils in the summer. These
would include instruction in such fields music, dra
matics, dancing and similar skills.
stepped-up special education program for handi-
capped and defective children This would aim at pro-
vldng facilities by 196364 for all those who could benefit
from special classes
speed-up in the foreign language program to
provide elementary school pupils down to the third
grade, with grounding in foreign languages.
An able learner program at the elementary level,
roughly comparable to the special rapid learner classes
now held in secondary schools A workshop next sum-
mer would lay the groundwork

OF the $34.1 million total, about
$3.6 million Is for self-supporting
services, such as school cafeter-
las, which do not require tax
funds.
About 81 million would
come from State aid and Sis
million from the Federal gov
ernment, leaving $21.7 mill
lion to be raised from local
property taxes.
Whittier said his budget fore
sees a 5000-pupil growth in the
school system next year, lifting
enrolment to 1856 and requir-
ing employment OF an additional
430 persons Including 274 new
teachers).
Aside from caring for this
growth factor the lions share Of
the increased costs would go into
teachers salaries.
The new pay plan would
add SAL million 10 the 1885,
80 payroll, Whittier said, ard
would boost the average
teachers pay from $5l9S to
$6327.
Starting salary would jump
from $4,000 to $500 and maxi
mum for teachers with masters
degrees would be raised from
5000 to $780,
Whittier has also recommended
12-month plan which would en-
able teachers, If they desired, to
add another 20 percent to their
paychecks by working summers.
This would go into effect July
/, 1860, but the summer program
would be optional for both teach
ers and pupils.
The superintendent estimated
that about 40 percent of the teach
ing staff would want to work
year.round. Maximum masters
pay on the 12.month basis would
be $4,000.
The salary schedule was de-
scribed as the minimum necessary
to attract and retain career teach
ers.
Anything less than this said
Whittier, will not in my estima-
ton put us in good competi-
tive position
The County Education Associa-
ton, teachers organization, has
asked for a pay schedule which
would cost $2.2 million more than
Whittier's plan next year. 1t
would raise the average teachers
pay TO 5000.
Whittier emphasized that school
costs in the county have been
just about at the national aver
age, although income and cost OF
living in the area is the highest
in the country.
Under the proposed budget, per-
pupil cost would jump from $3o2
