After three years. the four

were set by the bright pupils.
placed in the honors program.
Practical, Flexible
DR.. Hansen. reporting to the
Board of Education on the
Four Track program yesterday.
made these points:
/. 1t has. proved to be prac-
teal.
2. 1t is flexible enough to
meet each students needs.
8. Students achieved faster
under the program.
The four tracks were set up
In September, 1866, in the 10th
grade. Today. the tracks are
employed in all high schools
and in all grades.
1t was designed to reduce
the ability range" within each
classroom, to increase efficiency
in instruction, to raise achieve
ment levels and develop a
greater holding power on the
basic student-too often the
one who quit school when he
reached l6.
There is strong statistical
evidence" Or. Hansen reported,
that our original aims are be-
Ing accomplished with a signifl-
cantly high degree of success"
Details of Findings
The study, conducted by
school officials, makes these
points in the following areas:
Enrollment-Of 1887 high
school pupils, 1872 are in the
honors track; 1894 are in the
college preparatory; 5,575 are in
the general and 3,026 are in the
basic. Dunbar, Cardozo and
Eastern have no honors track
and Wilson lacks a basic stu
dent. There is reason to believe
the honors track can be ex-
banded.
Placement of Students-Up
to IS per cent Of those stu
dents selected for the honors
program three years ago have
achieved successfully in it. But
counseling should be sharpened
up to prevent a complaint from
a number of teachers: that
some of their pupils" are not
capable of the intensive work
given at that track.
Flexibility-Out of 496 basic
students three years ago, 125
have moved up into the general
track and two into the college
preparatory level; 81 general
students have moved up-96
into college preparatory and
one into honors; A students
tried the honors group and 40
moved back to college prepara-
tory and four into general.
Some schools, however. have
insisted that students remain

within their tracks for all
courses. A standard policy for
all schools should be estab-
lished.
Fiuctuating Dropouts
Holding p ow er-Dropouts
have fiuctuated from 1921 in
the first half Of 1956-57, to 816
in 1957-58 and to 1.061 this
school year. There was no
significant reduction in drop
outs in any track over the
three-year period. There was a
so per cent increase in the
n u m b e r withdrawing from
school who were in the general
track.
Achievement = Honors stu
dents exceeded the educa-
tional growth" expected Of
them; c college preparatory
similarly exceeded expectations
but not as fast as honors stu
dents; general tud e n t s
achieved normally; basic stu
dents, on the average, dropped
in one area of measurement
but achieved "minimal expecta-
tions" in others.
The Board of Education, ac-
cepting the report without
comment, also heard Mrs. Ben
jamin Schiller. representing
the League of Women Voters,
report on a study of the -Four
Tracks conducted by that or
ganization. She made thess OBJ
servations:
/. There is a lack Of uniform
ity in the administration of the
program from one school to
another.
2. More counselors are
needed.
3. More attention should be
given to the curriculum and
to in-service training of the
teachers Of the various tracks.
Other Board Actions
In other actions the biard:
/. Heard that the Teachers
Union, represented by Paul
Cooke, should be consulted be-
fore any changes are made in
rules governing the dismissal
or suspension of a school en-
ploye. Mr.. Cooke also objected
to the bill which seeks over
time for coaches.

In this extraordinary in

Need for Raise
On Labor Cost
BY Gilbert GIMBLE
Star STAFF Writer

D. C. Transit System Presi-
dent o. Roy Chalk said today
he expects to lose about is per
cent of his bus and streetcar
passengers if Che Public Util-
tiles Commission grants his re-
quest for a 25-cent fare.
The fare increase, to be re-
quested formally later, is being
sought to Offset increased labor
costs resulting from a new
three-year contract with the
drivers union agreed to Satur-
day night, he explained.
Mr.. Chalk said the new con-
tract will cost the company an
other Sc million.
He said the 25-cent fare
would probably not be raised
during the three-year life of
the new contract.
1--WE expect we can hold the
line on everything else during
the next three years." Mr..
Chalk said.
Generally. he said, labor cost
increases are the primary cause
for an increase in fares.
Mr.. Chalk said the proposed
new fare, if approved, would
definitely" result in a drop
in the number of riders. AS a
rule, such a drop would amount
to 10 per cent of the total,
he said.
But Mr.. Chalk said that as
the fare increases, the per-
centage of lost riders also in
creases.
Mr.. Chalk said that D. C.
Transit carried a total of 1877
million riders for the IL months
ending September 80. He said
the fare increase may mean a
/ loss of 13 to 20 million fares.
He said he hopes that after
the initial impact of the fare
increase, some of the number
of riders who quit using D. C.
Transit would return. But, he
said, that's a gamble he has
to take.
Mr.. Chalk said the question
Of raising the reduced fares
for school children has not
been considered at all. He
pointed out that school fares
under the law may not be more
than half of the regular rate.
The regular fare is now 20
cents and school fares are 10
cents.
However, should the adult
fare be increased to Is cents,
it would require further action
by the P. U. C. to increase the
school fares.
Mr.. Chalk said company Of
ficialS are now preparing their
formal presentation for a fare
increase. He hopes to meet in
formally with the P. U. C. to-
day or tomorrow to discuss the
increased cost he faces under
the new labor contract.
The contract will give bus
and Streetcar operators an I'LL
innate wage of about $2.65 an
| hour, and other fringe benefits.

to try another house.
Well, the same thing hap

goes in and comes out five
minutes later. I heard some
laughing inside the house
but they never saw him, l
guess. He's the best front
door man I ever seen.
Counting all of them, he
went in and out OF IL
houses.
About 8 pm, though, I'm
