The surveys agreed on the
urgent" need for more class
rooms and science laboratories
at George Mason. The school
board was also asked to take
steps to enlarge library facili-
ties at the high schools and
at Madison Elementary School.
Other high school construc-
ton recommendations included
shower and dressing rooms, art

health rooms, an auditorium
with chorus and music facilities
and an auxiliary gymnasium.

Mr.. Schmitt suggested fur
ther that the remodeling of
Madison School be completed
and that a multi-purpose room

students who go on to college
and of those whose formal edu-
cation is terminated upon grad
uation." The reports particu-
larly emphasized the need for
three or possibly four years of
at least one language. Only two
years Of French, Spanish and
Latin are now available.
The PTA council and the
league recommended more his

at all grade levels on English
skills and physical education

grades. A seven-or even eight

was suggested to increase course

7th-Groders Back to Hiqh School

Three reports, including one
from Supt. Irwin Schmitt, rec
commended to the Falls Church
School Board last night that
seventh graders be moved back
to George Mason High School.
Shift Of the seventh graders
to elementary schools was bit
terly opposed by many resi-
dents and was a major issue

Falls Church schools need
more teachers, more class
rooms and a richer curriculum.
The reports were filed by
Mr.. Schmitt, the PTA Council
and the League of Women
Voters.
The reports were the result
Of a school board request in
october that its Citizens Ad-
visory Committee and the Su-
perintendent compile recon-
mendations on overall school
curriculum and construction
needs. The advisory group Is
composed Of nearly 20 civic and
service organizations.
More Personnel
Specifically, the three reports
recommended more teachers to
help relieve present pupil over
crowding and to teach addi-
tional subjects. The group
unanimously backed the addi-
ton Of a school psychologist,
two elementary school libra
rians, and teachers for remedial
reading. speech and slow learn
ers. Additional guidance coun-
selors and a second assistant
principal at the high school
were also suggested.
The school board voted last
spring to drop the psychologist
and the librarians from the
staff. Currently, one qualified
librarian and two clerks serve

Most Of it came from a union
representative speaking on be-
half of refuse collection en-

lie opposition to the budget it
self. The hearing lasted only

Robert Owen, representing
the American Federation of

Employees, a union trying to
win recognition for the refuse
department employees, said that
1t is impossible for workers to
support a family of four on the

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. l6 CAP)-
The building and improvement
program indorsed by Gov. Tawes
for Spring Grove State Hos
pital Is a big step forward in
the move to regain accredita-
ton for the institution, Frank
Sullivan. director of the divi-
sion Of administration and
Finance of the Mental Hygiene
Department, said today.
Gov. Tawes put his oficial
backing behind $500, 900 of ex-
penditureS in the $6,414,30O
spending program recommend
ed by the department for all
State mental institutions for
fiscal 1861. The projects are
incorporated in the capital i'm
provements program to be SUBJ
mitted to the Legislature in
February.
Suggested Spring Grove i'm
provements total $2,826, 300 OF
more than rs per cent Of the
money recommended for the
department.
Buildings OvsrcrOwded
The Catonsville institution
and the Springfield State Hos
pital at SykeSville had their
accreditation withdrawn about
three years ago by a joint ma
tional commission on hospitals
The group pointed out several
deficiencies including over
crowded buildings and lack OF
sufficient trained personnel.
Mr.. Sullivan pointed out that
Gov. Tawes' recommendations
generally follow the pattern OF
improvements outlined in a
flve-year plan to bring Spring
Grove and Springfield up to
snuff.
Il feel storngly that this five
year program, If adopted
would put us in the position
OF having a first-class physical
plant" he said.
Old Building to Close
The heart of the Spring
Grove spending proposals are
$l.3 million for a central serv-
Ice building and three lO0-bed
units, and $l.4 million for a
2O0-bed inflrmary.
These plans will accelerate
the date the department can
close the crowded old center
building.
Among the $344,20O recon-
mended for improvements at
Springfield are $12O,7OO for
fire protection facilities and
Sl45,O00 for fixing up buildings.
