RICHMOND, Feb. 6.--Gov,
Almond today said he would
like to see Virginia's automatic
driver license revocation law
continue unchanged because he
feels it is working very WE'LL =
The Governor was asked at a
press conference about pend
ing legislation to relax the law
which now provides for the
automatic revocation Of a
drivers license whenever q
motorist is convicted twice in
one year Of speeding or reckless
driving.
Under pending legislation
sponsored by State Senator
John A. X. Donovan of Fairfax
Falls Church. judges who make
the second conviction could
exempt motorists from the
automatic revocation law.
He said ne felt the proposed
judicial option would cause
confusion and a lack Of uni
formity Of enforcement"

Meanwhile. School Supts Will
liam S. Schmidt hopes to OBJ
tain figures on Just how much
State money win be provided
the county for school use in
fiscal 1953<59.
As a result of yesterdays
Legislative action, he predicted
the county would gain close to
81 million additional from
State sources on the basis Of
$500 for each teacher. This
would go q long way. he said,
toward paying the salary scale
authorized last year by the
county commissioners but not
yet put into effect.
Some Teachers to Get More
z The school board yesterday
backed the full scale. 1t pro-
vides increases that exceed
$500 in many cases For some
teachers it would mean less.
The starting pay would be
boosted from $500 to $4,000.
!. At the top of the present scale,
salaries would rise 5000 to
$4,000.
Mr.. Schmidt and board
Amembers said it had been in
terpreted &hat the 5000 raise
granted te4chers by the county
last year would be considered
part Of the $500 State raise.
They explained that the
county's teacher pay scale at
the time the law was first
passed was only $500 to
$500.
Annual Raise $500
There would be considerably
more for teachers between the
two pay-scale limits. While
the present $500 top was
based on II years experience,
the new top would be reached
after 10 years experience. Con-
sequently the other salary in
creases would range from $3.50
q year for six teachers at the
21-year level to a high of 1,16O
for each of % teachers now
having IL years experience.
The new schedule provides

is attained. After that it re.

For those with master de

Coaches Warning Unheeded
The schedule fails to make
provision for extra pay fol
athletic coaches to compensate
for overtime hours. The Prince
Georges County Coaches AS
ISOLATION several months age
issued an ultimatum that UNI
less some was forthcoming in
the new budget they would quit
their extra curricular dutie:
after this year.
Mr.. Schmidt, in submittinc
the instruction budget request
yesterday, said it totals $13..
812,660, Of which $l2,149,9lC
would be for salaries of teach
ers and principals. 1t include:
provision for 1877 new teachers
he noted, bringing the totaI
strength to some 1852. Last
year teacher salaries totalec
$l0,218,50O.
Teachers Request Compared
Full augmentation of the
salary schedule now, he told
the board. will cost about $16,-
900 more than if recommended
tons of the county Teachers
Association is carried out. The
association wanted the county
to start toward a $4,000 tC
$1,000 scale this year, less 81
per cent. It sought to have the
rest added next year, which
would mean greater expense
the board was told.
Mr.. Schmidt said he believed
it wiser to get a full salary scale
now as an inducement for its
teacher recruiting program.
The proposed overall budget
he said, is predicated on ar
increase of more than 4,5OC
pupils next year to a total en-
rollment Of 61.750 and the
opening Of nine new schools
and additions to seven existing
schools.

A lot of people are busy
at this time of year get
ting a bottle or two for
the house. The bottle we
are suggesting will not
cost you a cent, for it is a bot
tie of holy water. All you need
is an empty bottle that is clean
enough to take to your parish
church where you can fill 1t
with holy water.
No Catholic home should be
without holy water, yet too
many are. OF all the sacra-
mentals it is the easiest TO
come by, and the easiest to
use, and at the same time 1T
is gloriously powerful. How
about that being one OF your
last resolutions Of 1858?
TALK IT UP?
It is about time someone
votes the mailman Of the year
or some other good public
servant of that ilk.
TIME OF CHEER
While there is still one glor-
ious week left why don't you
spend some of it by patching
up one of the unfortunate mis-
understandings of the pass
ing year. 1t still reads, Peace
on earth to men Of good will"
so show q bit of good will by
backtracking and settling old
accounts in the Christian way
of asking pardon. 1t does
take q bit of doing, but the
undoing is 80 wonderful that
it more than pays for the
effort.

On those few occasions when I've been able
to get away from the magic box to a nearby
school to address Parent-Teacher or other
club group, one of the things that has impressed
me Is the intense curiosity and interest in TV
as an educational medium.
The recent news that the Greater Wash
ington Educational Television Association
(GWETA) win conduct science classes (ele-
mentary leveD this fall on a commercial sta
ton should serve as an extra stimulant
Trying to answer the many questions
parents ask about TVS educational possibilities
and the many experiments, however isn't easy.
But the Job of doing so, thank goodness, has now
been simplifed by the publication of book
that represents an extraordinary amount OF
scholarship and research Published last week
was
"Tv and Our School Crisis" by Charles A.
Sepmann (Dodd, Mead and Company, $3.50.
Mr. Stephan, former director Of Adult
Education with the BIC, has served as advisor
to President Conant at Harvard and as FEC
conSultant. He is now professor of education
and chairman of the Department of Communi-
cations in Education at New York University.
It is not only valuable book that Prof.
Siepmann has written, but an immensely read
able and exciting one.
AS he states in his book sit is foolish and
~
teaching Thy TVb can never replace normal
teacher-student relations in the classroom OBJ
viously it can not, will not, should not. No one
ever said it could This is argument by irrele-
vance The proper and pertinent question is
WHAT PLACE such teaching has in the over
all experience of students at school,"
He has some pretty cogent answers to critics
of its use-a chapterful in fact. And he has
not tried to conceal his bias in favor of its use.
I'VE hope he writes, I've have made rea-
soned case for it,
If our way of life is to survive and our
prospects of world leadership to continue, he
writes, education and television will shave more
to do with this than most people suspect"
Findings on television in the schools and
in colleges and around the world in other coun-
tries are carefully assessed. There are reports
on student reactions; parent reactions You'll
read about experiments you may not have
known were being conducted in Detroit, Phila-
delphia, Oklahoma, etc.
