COUNTIES MUST
CARRY BIGGER
SCHOOL BURDEN
The Counties Themselves Must
Wake Up: and Prepare To
Help Their Young
By MISS ALEPH .CAsON

SWAN QUARTER.-It is be-
coming more and more evident
that the advancing cost of higher
education in our public schools is
a burden that will have to be
shared to greater extent by the
counties themselves. This appears
to be the thinking in Raleigh,
and there is evidence that the
larger areas which long have liber-
ally supported education in the
smaller counties through equalizing
funds, etc., are now more heavily
burdened than ever at home, and
will expect the smaller counties
to pick up more of the load.
In a scientific age which year
ly grows more complex, where
students who expect to rise in
achievement must go deeper into
higher mathematics, our citizens
and parents must provide better
facilities for this essential educa-
ton. People of our smaller coun-
ties are going to have to face
some of the facts found in a re-
cent study by the N. c. Depart
ment of Public Instruction. Until
they accept these facts, they have
little right to expect substantial
educational advantages and OPP
portunities for their children.
This study relates to the num-
her of public high schools of the
State offering advanced mathe-
natics-solid geometry, trigono1n-
etry and advanced albegra.
According to a study of 829
high schools, it was found that
243 or 1913 per cent of the num-
Der offered advanced math in
1958-59. It was found further
that as the size Of the school in
creased in terms of students en-
rolled, the greater the per cent Of
fering advanced math.
More specifically the findings
were these:
In 95 high schools having few
er than 100 students, only 4, or
AZ per cent offered advanced
math.
In 263 schools having 100-199
students, 33 or 12.4 per cent, Of
fered advanced math.
In 1856 schools having 20O-299
students. As or 23,1 per cent, Of
fered adyancde math.
In 1O2 schools having 300-399
students, 81 or 1868 per cent, Of
fered advanced math.
In GA schools having 4O0-499
students, IS or SAT per cent, Of
fered advanced math.
In 35 schools having 500-599
students, % or 62.9 per cent, Of
fered advanced math.
In IS schools having 600-699
students, 81 or s3.1 per cent, Of
fered advanced math.
And in Is schools having 1000
or more students all Is, 100 per
cent offered advanced math.
In commenting on this study,
State Superintendent, Charles F.
Carroll stated, 81 am sure that
this situation relative to mathe-
MATES is typical and that SINH
lar situation obtains for other
basic subjects-science, English,
social studies"

pay scales higher than the
State minimum but this Is q
matter Of local determination.
Under the proposed plan the
localities would have no choice
but to pay for the increased
scale.
This is very serious; 1t
violates the whole principle of
State participation in q mini
mum program of education"
DR.. Pullen said. when you tell
them to pay it. it eliminates.
the whole idea Of a minimum
equalized payment" he said.
The James proposal, which
the Governor Is expected to
submit to the Legislature next
month, would cost the State
about 81 million. If the State
paid the entire cost of the pay
scale increase proposed it would
require more than $12 million.
The James proposal would
mean State-financed pay raises
of approximately $500 just for
teachers with 10 or more years
Of experience.
The Board Of Education pre-
viously asked for q State
financed pay scale of $500 TO
$500. The Maryland State
Teachers Association has asked
for a minimum State scale Of
$4,000 to $500, which would
provide a pay hike averaging
$3.50 for all teachers.

Sewer Plan
Is Discussed

A $50 million plan to solve
sewer problems at Dulles In
ternational Airport was out
lined to Loudoun County Of
f1cialS last night by the Fairfax
Board Of County Supervisors.
The plan was given to Lou
doun officials at a closed session
in Fairfax. Fairfax Board
Chairman Anne wilkins said
Loudoun of1icials expressed no
immediate opinion but were ex-
pected to make some comment
"in a week or two"
The project recommended by
Fairfax would serve a large
area Of Fairfax County and
part Of Loudoun and would
dump effluent into Belmont
Bay, far below the Districts
water supply intake.
Loudoun has been studying
a consultant's report recon-
mending temporary sewage
treatment plants on six tribu-
taries OF the Potomac. Fairfax
for some time has hoped for
a plan that would avoid dump
ing treated sewage into the
upper Potomac above the Wash

land"
The Governor, following rec
concentrations Of the Legisla- =
tive Council, has indorsed an
increase in the State teacher
pay scale, but most Of the cost
would be borne by the locali-
ties. The board, which has in
dorsed a different scale was
not so much concerned yester-
day with the amount of in
crease as with the method of
financing it.
Under the plan, drawn up by
a legislative committee headed
by State Senator William S.
James, Democrat of Howard
County. the minimum required
teacher salaries would be raised
from the present scale Of s., 200
$4,000 to $3,500-$5,60O. How
ever, State aid would be paid
only on a scale Of $1,000 to
$500, and the localities would
have to pick up the difference.
DR.. Pullen said the program
would violate the principle
of equalization" beacuse it
would require different tax
rates in different localities to
meet the cost of the higher
State minimum scale. In Som
erset County, DR.. Pullen said it
would take a tax rate of 20
cents per 500 property evalua- =

scale, but in Baltimore County
it would require only 6 cents.

Train Drivers
By a star stan Writer

BALTIMORE. Jan. Z. - The
State Board Of Education re-
fused yesterday to support q
bill which would set up a State
fund for driver training in pub
lie schools.
Several members of the
board said the driver training
should not be a function Of the
public schools.
Under a bill proposed by the
Legislative Council Of the Gen.
eral Assembly, learner permit
fees would be increased from
81 to SIS. The extra "a would
be put in a special fund which
would be distributed to the
localities on the basis Of the
number Of students enrolled in
driver education.
Richard Schifter, State board
member from Montgomery
County, said he felt driver
training is primarily a respon-
sibility of the parents. On his
motion, the board voted its op-
position to the proposed bill.
Costs Cited
Mr.. Schifter noted that
Montgomery County offers
driver education in its high
schools. He said it has beer
one Of the most expensive
projects undertaken"
Board member Dwight
Holmes Of Baltimore said he
never did see any sense in
teaching everything that /,
needed in life in the public
schools. We should reserve
school time for things that
can't be learned in Other
places"
The proposed bill would pur
about 100000 into the specia
fund, school officials estimated
Age Cut Opposed
Several board members reg.
istered their objection to a bill
which would reduce the com.
pulsory attendance age from
is to IA for any child whose
religion is against attendance
beyond the age of IA.
State Supt. Thomas G. Pull.
len. jr., said the Legislative
Council had proposed the re.
duction for an Amish group ir
st. Marys County. He sale
there are some 400 children ir
the sect which opposes schoo
attendance after IA.
THE law ought to apply Il
all" said Mr.. Rhoderick.
Are the churches going tc
decide when the civil law shall
be broken?" questioned Mr.
Holmes.
DR.. Pullen said it Is a mat
ter which must be handled
with kindness and patience.
The board took no formal
action on the matter, but told

on the progress Of the pro-
posed legislation.
