that traffic will get worse be-
fore it gets better"
The traffic situation will con-
tinue to grow rapidly worse as

HiIIcrest Group
Backs Plea for
Pupil CounseIors

The Hillcrest. Citizens Asso-
ciation last night backed the
pleas by District Assistant
School Supt. John D. Koontz
for more counselers in the
Washington schools. The group
attacked the present "hit-and-
run" method of assigning
counselors.
Mr.. Koontz asked for full
time counselors and a stable
pupil-counselor ratio of 300
to l instead of the current
1900 to l." Our children
desperately need these addi-
tional services" he said, de-
ploring the practice of teachers
instructing larger classes in
order to find time for counsel
work themselves.
He stressed the Importance
OF attaining a pupil-teacher
ratio OF 80 to l in the eIemen-
tary and junior high schools in
defending the recent shifts of
teachers from senior high to
younger-age schools. He added
that the 25:1 ratio in senior
schools is effective only if the
80 to l level is attained in the
lower grades.
Mr.. Koontz also predicted
that "for the first time I can
ever remember" the Anacostia
areas schools will not be over
crowded due to the opening in
September of the new Ballou
High School.
The association also sup
ported Mr.. Koontz' proposal
for more librarians and read
ing instructors.
