K.C.E.A. TO CONVENE HERE FRIDAY
K.C.E.A. Body To
Send 2 Delegates
To 1859 Midwest
Summer Session

Four teachers were nominat-
ed as delegates to the national
convention at a meeting of the
Kent County Education Associ-
alton held last Thursday in the
Hartly School. Named to attend
the summer conclave in ST.
Louis, Mo-, were Elizabeth A.
Getty and John Dickinson, both
of Smyrna, and William Fox and
Norman Cotter, both of Harring-
ton. Two of the nominees will
be selected at the associations
annual convention which con-
venes here tomorrow.
Officers were nominated and
elected for the l959-60 term, as
follows: E. Alan Rutledge, presi-
dent, Harrington; George Wag-
ner, vice president, Dover; men,
Der of the board of directors,
Mabel Massey, Hartly. MIR. Rut-
ledge appointed Mary Cahall of
Harrington as the secretary
treasurer. This is a continuance
of the policy whereby the presi-
dent and secretary are members
of the same school faculty.
A revised constitution for the
KCEA was submitted to the del
egates assembly by the board
of directors. The new document,
which provides for four addi-
tional board members and a re-
preventative council, will be
subject to a vote of the associa-
ton membership on Friday.
Six resolutions pertaining to
education and the teaching vo-
cation were pre- en- t e d and
adopted by the delegates. George
Galley of Smyrna and Esther
! Hynson of Clayton head up the
resolutions committee.
The following reports of out
standing committees occupied
the greater part of the business
agenda: Audit committee, Dana
McClung and Grace Montgom-
cry, Milford High School; legis-
lative, George Wagner, East Do
yer Elementary School; nomin-
ating, Mary Cahall, Harrington;
Mary Cool, Caesar Rodney; and
Sarah Beckett, Dover; resolu-
tions, George Galley, Smyrna,

DR.. Perkins, president of the
University of Delaware since
1850, will employ "The Articu-
lation of High School and Col
lege" as his subject topic. The
University of Michigan gradu-
ate has accumulated a broad eX-
perience in the field of political
science and public administra-
ton. Most noteworthy among
this list was his position as I'm
dersecretary of the Department
of Health, Education and We'll
fare, post he held from Febru-
ary, 1857 to March, 1858. He
also served as budget director
of the State of Michigan from

Teachers Bitterly
Oppose Salaries
Schedule Based
On Merit Rating

Six key resolutions were
adopted by the Kent County Ed
ucation Association at its dele
gate assembly meeting last
week. Perhaps the most note
worthy of these was the organ
ization's stand on the merit rat
ing plan regarding salary sched-
uling.
The KCEA members went on
record as vigorously opposed to
the merit rating problem, claim
ing that experience to date has
shown the plan destroys profess
sional relations, creates profess
sional strife, and impedes the
cooperative improvement of ed
ucation by teachers and admin
iStrators.
The group stated its belief
that evaluation for the improve
ment of instruction is a major
responsibility of the teaching
profession, but further pointed
out that such evaluation will
only be effective when done as
a cooperative effort by all con-
cerned. A staunch supporter of
the science of teacher evalua-
ton, the KCEA maintains that
such work must be based upon
all educational factors, includ-
ing the community, building fa-
cilities, and administrative prac-
tices, in addition to classroom
procedures.
Other adopted resolutions
dealt with the role of education,
the lay support of education,
and teaching permits and pro-
fessional standards. The Kent
educators maintain that if edu-
cation is to meet today's chal-
lenge, local, state, and national
governments must accept their
responsibility and increase sub
stantially their financial sup
port. Although control of educa-
ton should remain in the hands
of state and local authorities,
the KCEA feels that the federal
government should share the in
creased load as set forth in the
School Support Act of 1859,
known as the Murray-Metcalf
Bill.
The state certifying agency
was commended by the associa-
ton for its recent action which
now requires a Bachelors de-
gree for certification in Della
ware. The practice of issuing
new teaching certificates or per-
mits to individuals with less
than four years of college edu-
cation has long been deplored
lby the Kent County group.

All county educators were

a member of the Smyrna facul-
ty and president of the Kenco
Del. chapter of the union, re-
ported that the organization is
growing rapidly with many
teachers throughout the county
already enrolled.
She announced that the Cred

alton to be held this weekend

The measure, sponsored by

Council Stresses Child Safety
In Back-tO-SchOol Fact Review

For solutions to the problem,
the council offered suggestions
to parents and motorists.
Parents" Mr.. Foster said,
should teach their children to
stop, look and listen before
crossing streets or r ailr o d
tracks. It's not old-fashioned to
be safe. Parents should also
set proper example. Don't
expect a child to obey a rule
you violate"
Some Council suggestions to
motorists as the nations schools
prepare to open their doors:
/. Keep your car in good con-
dition. Pay special attention to
tires and brakes. You can't
blame the garage man if your
car doesn't stop quickly enough
in an emergency.
2. Drive slowly near schools.
And slow down where children
are walking or playing.
8. Expect the unexpected from
children. Most of them get hurt
running from behind parked
cars or crossing in the middle
of an intersection.

Eisenhower Signs
New Aliens Bill

Veterans who were discharg-
ed as aliens during World War
1, may be entitled to pension or
compensation as a result of a
law recently signed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, Leon Fields,
manager, VA regional office an
nOunced.
Prior to the new law, World
War l veterans discharged as
aliens were required to prove
that they did not request their
own discharge. The new act,
Public Law 86-ll3, presumes
that these veterans did not re.
quest their own discharge un-
less the Government establishes
proof that they did, the VA off
cial said.
Although the VA will review
all such cases on file that car
be identified where claims fol
pension or compensation have
previously been denied, Mr.
Fields suggests that all veterans
who believe they may be eligi
BILE for benefits under this new
law file their claims at theil
earliest convenience.
In case the new claims are
approved, Mr.. Fields explained
the benefit payments may begir
as of the date the claim was fiji
ed under the new law.

Acciden are the leading
cause of death to school-age
children, the Delaware Safety
Council pointed out yesterday
in a back-to-school-time review
of the facts on accidents invol-
wing youngsters.
The review was issued by
Clifford t. Foster, Jr., president
of the council, in connection
with the 'hold the line" cam
paign being waged this month
by the council at the request
of Governor ]. Caleb Boggs, in
an effort to prevent further
rise in highway accidents. Fatal
accidents on the roads spurted
tar ahead of last years figures
during the summer.
Mr.. Foster asked Delawareans
to consider these four facts:
i. More than $500 children
SID years of age are killed an
nually in the nation in accidents
involving motor vehicles.
2. More than l,l00 of those
children are pedestrians.
3. A total of 100000 children
in the SID age group are in
jured each year in motor vehicle
mEaaps.
4. One out of IL students in
jured in a "school-jurisdiction"
accident is on his way to or
from school.
That's the problem--and back
to-school time is when the prob
lem reaches its peak, according
to the Safety Council.
