Foirfox School Survey
Proposed by Woodson

An overall study, exclusive
of curriculum and instruction.
could cost as much as $25. 900,
Mr.. Woodson told the board.
A study of top staff organ
ization was made in 1858 by an
outside administrator, but the
board declined to accept the
report.
The board instead developed
its own plan for organization
of the administrative staff Ito
which some school board mem
bers and the superintendent
could not Fundamentally
agree Mr.. Woodson said.
Action Deferred
The board took no definite
action on the proposal but
asked Mr.. Woodson to find out
the names of firms that make
studies of large school systems
and to find out also what other
school systems have done.
In separate action, the board
agreed to raise its minimum
starting teacher salary to at
least $4,000 for the next school
year.
The move was made so school
administrators can use q
definite figure in their recruiting
programs. The present starting
salary $4,410. The administra-
tors have proposed q starting
salary Of $4,000.

Another efficiency study in
Fairfax County-this one Of the
organization and operation OF
the public school system-has
been proposed.
The proposal was made last
night by School Supt. w. T.
Woodson, who will retire this
June after 81 years in the top
job.
School organization and op-
Grafton was checked in brief
recently in a $4,000 prelimi-
nary study arranged y the
Board of County Supervisors.
The experts hired by the su-
pervisors suggested that school
expenditures should be held to
a percentage increase every
year. like q business, instead OF
rising upward in a straight line.
Hearing Today
The supervisors hold q public
hearing today on recommenda-
tions made by County Execu-
tive Carlton C. Massey on the
original report, which dealt with
every section of the county

In a memo to the school
board, Mr.. Woodson noted that
there had been no study OF

Gen. Pershing got the job
