Similar sentiments have been expressed
by Mrs. Kramer and fellow board member
Harold F. Breimyer.
Breimyer advocates what he calls q

formal job descriptions, involving extra
duties and responsibilities, for higher
ability, higher-paid teachers.
Merit pay proponents argue that in
addition to Turing outstanding teachers to
the county, such system would allow pro-
motion of talented teachers without forcing
them into administrative and supervisory
work.
Under the present system, many out.
standing classroom teachers are forced by
financial pressures to go into administers

BY q Staff Reporter

Montgomery County school board men,
bers are in favor of some sort of merit pay
plan for teachers, despite the opposition of
teachers themselves.
The board next week is scheduled to
begin its deliberations on the report of
special committee that has been weighing
the pros and cons of merit pay for several
months.
A slim majority of the 14-member COM
mittee (seven non educators and one
teacher) last week recommended prompt
adoption of the merit principle.
A minority report signed by the re.
naming six teachermembers, condemned
merit systems as unavoidable and undesir-
able.
Board members clearly side with the
committee majority, although considerable
debate likely will be required before they
can agree on the specific merit provisions
they want.
Merit pay is defined as additional COM
pensation for unusual competency
While favoring the general principle,
both school board members and the study
committee majority have emphasized that
merit provisions should be in addition to an
attractive basic salary schedule.
The boards proposed salary scale for
next year, while incorporating substantial
hikes in the basic scale, also recognizes the
merit principle by making advancement to
the final two steps of the masters scale
contingent upon the superintendent recon-
mendation.
1--WE been interested i'm the merit notion
for long time," said Mrs. Rose G. Kramer,
board president. However, have always
felt that extra pay should not be in lieu of,
but In addition to, decent basic salary"

cost for the jail--it was $227000

At that, Murphy said, the
county figures on doing as good

School Editors
Hear Plea for
Local History

Mrs. Mabel Robrock, follow
ing in her late husbands foot
steps, has some different ideas
of what a high school yearbook
should include.
The Bryan (Ohio) High School
librarian is one of the 10000
teachers in America who assist
in putting out high school an
nualS.
Mrs. Robrock and several
dozen other yearbook advisers
from high schools across the
country yesterday addressed
sessions of the 32d annual Pub
locations Conference and Short
Course at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
Several Washington newspaper
men also spoke to the student
editors.
The sessions. sponsored by
the National Scholastic Press
Association and the National
Association Of Journalism Di-
rectors, are designed to improve
the quality of high school news
papers and yearbooks.
Il think a yearbook should
be a true source of local his
tory" says Mrs. Robrock. 1T
should be interesting-some-
thing people will want to refer
to later"
AS a result, copies of the
zeta Cordia. her high schools
yearbook. contain items of news
about the small, rural town of
5000 in Northwest Ohio-prom-
inent citizens who have died,
teachers who have published
books and new buildings which
have been constructed.
There is also a section for
national and international
news, reporting the Interna-
tional Geophysical Year, the
Hungarian uprising or a new
fad in teen-age fashions--all
seen through the eyes of the
high school students.
IT guess it's the fact that
I'm a librarian" says Mrs. Rob-
rock, who holds degrees from
Hiram COhio) College and
Western Reserve. Il just think
books should have facts in
them"
Mrs. Robrock's husband was
the yearbook adviser for 81
years before she took over. Mr..
Robrock, a science teacher
honored in 1858 as a pioneer in
high school aviation education,
died three years ago.
Mrs. Robrock, a white-haired,
pleasant-faced woman in her
40s, adds, Il guess it's been
"a wonderful thing for me
to be able to continue doing
my husbands work"
