School Board Hears
Reasons for Opposing
Warfield Report

The case for the expansion of
Maryland teacher colleges under
the State Department of Education
was presented to the members of
the County Board of Education at
special meeting Monday, Octo-
Der 3, by DR.. Thomas G.. Pullen,
Jr., state superintendent of schools.
DR.. Pullen appeared before the
board to discuss the implications
of the Warfield Commissions re-
port, which recommended that the
University of Maryland take over
the state teacher colleges and oper-
ate them as liberal arts colleges,
or branches of the University.
DR.. Pullen and most members
of the State Board of Education
have taken a strong stand against
such a move.
In his discussion with the local
board members DR.. Pullen pointed
out that the per pupil costs would
rise considerably under the plan
of the Warfield commission which
would work a hardship on many
students in both Garrett and AL
legany county He also felt that
fewer rather than more students
would enter the teaching profess
sion under the plan. DR.. Pullen
said he felt that wider expan-
sion of the public junior colleges
providing low cost higher educa-
ton for a period of two years
and the expansion of the cur
riculum of the teacher colleges to
include the liberal arts program
under administration of the State
Board of Education, was the best
solution to the problems of
teacher needs and to the soaring
