Delaware viii Get
$2,275,OOO Under
School Support Plan

Delaware would receive yearly
federal allotments ranging from
$2,775,OOO for the 1959-60 school
year to $13,20O.000 in the 1962-63
year If a recentIy-introduced school
support bill is adopted in Wash
ington.
The bill, introduced by U. S.
Senator James E. Murray( D-Mont)
would provide federal funds for
school construction and teacher
salaries. Funds given the states
would increase each year through
the I962-63 school year, eventually
reaching total of some $4,700,000,-
900 per year.
A bill similar to the Murray
proposal has also been introduced
in the House by u S. Representa-
tive Lee Metcalf (D-Mont).
More than 20 key educational
leaders in the state recently at
tended a meeting in Dover to hear
Clayton Seeber, legislative con-
sultant to the National Education
Association, discuss the provisions
of the legislation.
Last December, tile Delaware
State Education Association pass
ed resolution approving the Muir
ray-Metcalf bill and authorized the
State Federal Relations Commit
tee to work on behalf of its pass
age.
Mr.. Seeber told the Delaware
educators that the bill would pro-
vide a massive TRANSMISSION" of
federal funds to the states.
The Senate school bill was in
troduced on the heels of President
Eisenhower's State of. the Union
message which called for a study
of the establishment of a set of
national standards or goals for
American education.
Under the Murray Metcalf for
mula, each state would receive, be-
ginning with the fiscal year from
July /, 1859, $25 for each school
age child, $50 each the second year,
SIS the third and 500 the fourth
and succeeding years. For the pur-
pose of the bill, "school-age" is de-
fined as ages to II.
Under that formula, estimated
Iallotments for Delaware would be
approximately $2,775,00O for 1853
so; $5,S50,OO0 for 1960-61; $9.3O0,-
900 for 1961-62, and $13.200,000 for
I962-63.
Written into the bill is assur-
ance that mo department, agency,
officer or employee of the United
States shall exercise any direction,
supervision, or control over policy
determination, personnel, curricu-
lum, program of instruction or the
administration OF any school or
school system"
To make sure that the states and
local school districts don't slacken
their own efforts, the bill provides
for reduction OF q states allotment
of that states relative effort is
below the national average.
Effective date Of the reduction
would be delayed for three years
to give state Legislatures two ses-
sions to work or their programs.

Farm Building Plans
Are Now Available

DO your plans for 1859 include
new farm buildings, animal shell
ters, livestock handling equipment
or an addition on the house?
II builging of any kind is on
your mir.d for this year, Mr.. Rob-
ert b. Williams, agricultural en-
gineer at the University of Della
ware, has a suggestion that may
save you time, effort and money.
Working plans for most types of
farm buildings, equipment and
houses, with pictures and brief de-
scriptions of these plans can be
obtained from your county agri-
cultural agent or by writing the
Extension ag engineer, University
of Delaware, Newark, Delaware.
Give the engineer as much infor-
nation as possible about the kind
of building or structure that you
wish to build.
These farm building plans, ac-
cording to Williams, are available
throughout the United States
through a cooperative exchange
arrangement between State Agri-
cultural Colleges and the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. Plans are
adapted to the climate and the
farming of the region in which
they are distributed and are de-
signed to At the most up-to=date
and efficient farm practices.
Farmhouse designs also are
adapted by region. Some are ex-
pansible or can be divided inside
and finished In stages as additional
labor or money becomes available
Designed especially to meet the
needs of farm families living In
farming areas the plans generally
provide extra workroom space for
home food preparation and pre-
serving, and special wash-up rooms
for outdoor workers.
Modern 1-to-4 bedroom designs
for masonry or frame construction
are grouped according to basic ar
.rangement of living, working, and
sleeping quarters. Most are single
level designs, but few split-level
or two-ifoor plans are included.
