were the most frequently
made in the MANA survey of
school officials:
/. Federal aid, without Fed
eral control, should be adopted
by Congress.
2. More local and State
support should be provided
the schools.
8. The school property tax
already oppressive for mil
lions of homeowners, should
be augmented by funds from
other Sources-Such as in
come taxes and sales taxes.
4. Sufficient support should
be given the schools to re-
duce the teacher shortage,
build additional clasSrooms
and strengthen teacher train
ing institutions.
It is unthinkable that the
United States cannot afford
an excellent school system.
But unless Congress and the
public decide to act-and act
now-we may find we have
defaulted on the future edu-
cation Of millions of young
Americans.

! Of high school. Will he stand
a better chance of making a
top college if he goes to a
private school?
ANSWER: I would not, send
a child to a private school
with the objective, laudable
as it may be, Of getting him
into a better college. You
will find that a good student
in a public school has a bet
ter chance Of getting into col
lege than a poor student in
a private school. In other
words, much depends upon
your child.
The colleges do not, as a
rule, favor the private schools.
They look at the hoy, evalu-
ate his record, and examine
his college board scores.
There is no objection, of
course, to a child going to a
preparatory school; but he
should not go for specious
reasons.
QUESTION: I have an ap-
pointment to visit a college

you give me some dos and
don'tS for this visit? I'll be q

don't want to lessen my
chances by saying something
wrong during the interview.
ANSWER: Many high
school students get the jit-
ters when they visit admis-
sion directors for their inter-
views. But you don't have to
be scared: The admissions
officers are only human. They
are not out to "get" you but
to see you as you really are.

academic work than their
nonveteran classmates.
Your first step should be to
meet with your high school
guidance counselor to see if
your credentials are in order.
Then, realistically, seek out
a college that would consider
you at this late stage. 1t
might even be wise for you
to brush up on your math,
English and other basic
courses and wait for next
February to enroll.
QUESTION: My child at
tends school on a part-time
basis; she is on a double-ses-
sion program, and is in
school from 8 to IL o'clock.
She doesn't have a desk OF
her own. Is her education
being impaired?
ANSWER: Yes, it is. Double
sessions, while necessary in
overcrowded conditions
should be eliminated rapidly
Nearly / million children get
an inferior education as a
result of their part-time
schedules. The answer? More
buildings, more claSSrooms
and more teachers.
QUESTION: My son will
enter his sophomore year in
our local high school next
September. 1t has a good rep
utation. But I'm thinking OF

school for his last two years

He'll see through you even
behind a smoke screen
It would be wise to read up
about the college that you
are TO visit, check the cata-
logUes, and talk with an
alumnus if there is one in
your community.
QUESTION: My college
application blanks call for
three letters of reference.
Whom shall I get? My Dad
knows our Senator. Is he a
good person to put down on
my list?
ANSWER: Most admissions
directors aren't swayed by
Senators or Governors. They
would rather hear from per-
sons who know you, such as
your favorite teacher, your
clergyman or your guidance
counselor. OF course, if the
Senator is really a friend of
your family, and he knows
you well enough to speak in
your behalf, by all means
use his name as a reference.
QUESTION: How much
television should my 9-year-
old watch? He's glued to the
TV set from the time he gets
home until he goes to bed.
I can't get him to read a book
any more.
ANSWER: Unless carried
to an extreme, television will
not hurt your boy. Enough
studies have been made to
show that the normal boy or
girl will take television in
stride. It may be a novelty
at first, but children soon find
out there are other things
in life than cowboys and
Indians, detectives and sher-
ifs. Several hours of tele-
vision daily won't hurt any,
one-child or adult. Usually,
it doesn't last.

'tion's tax money now goes to
the Federal Government. so
that the States and local
communities have relatively
few funds with which to ex-
.pand school facilities at pres
ent.
Yet, some Of the officials
interviewed by MANA believe
the States have enough re-
sources If used wisely to
meet the needs of their public
schools.
mo State in the union is
at the present time investing
a burdensome proportion OF
its gross annual income in
education" says DR.. Frank H,
Sparks, president of the Coun-
Gil for Financial Aid to Edu-
cation (CFAE).
Most educators dispute this
They say rising costs make it
impossible to maintain our
school system without taxing
industries and real estate out
of existence.
Partial solutions can be
achieved, however. Professor
Harris estimates that $500
million a year could be saved
if small school districts we're
merged into larger ones.
Professor Harris also urges
the States to eliminate un-
realistic debt and taxation
ceilings, Standardize real es-
tate assessments, and diStrib-
ute aid on the basis of COM
munity need.
These partial solutions can
not cure the basic malady
The average cost of educating
one public school student to-
day is more than $500 a year
compared to 5000 a decade
ago. BY 1870 the cost will be
$400.
What is the remedy? The

ton.
Although there still remain
some holdouts in Congress. it
is apparent that Federal aid
to education is becoming an
accepted fact Of life in Doth
century America.
Seek Balanced Aid
How much should a COM
munity pay for its school sys-
tenn? How much should come
from the State? How much
from the Federal Govern
ment?
Right now, local commu-
mites pay Sc per cent of
school costs, the States pay
40 per cent, and the Federal
Government 4 per cent.
A survey of 20 prominent
school officials and 20 leading
Congressman reveals that the
majority Of them want a
more balanced distribution of
support. Some recommend
that the States would pay 40
per cent, the communities 40
per cent, and the Federal
Government 20 per cent.
DR.. Edgar Fuller, executive
secretary of the Council Of
Chief State School Officers
(CCSSO) believes the 1910
20 ratio will be introduced
within a decade.
DR.. William G. Carr
executive secretary of the
National Educational Asso-
citation, is wary of any
fixed ratio of support. "This
will vary from locality tc

(Above figures denote millions.)
The Nations school enroll
ment is expected to have in
creased by 20 million during
the 15-year period from 1850
to 1865. More important the
greatest gains are taking
place on the high school
level. 1t is more costly to
operate a high school pro-
gram than an elementary
school one.
Teachers salaries alone ac-
count for a huge part of the
financial problem The United
States Office of Education
says that by 1968-69 there will
be 1,826,000 teachers and su-
pervisors in American schools,
compared to 962.174 in I949-50
and $4,000 today.
More teachers mean more
money. The average salary of
teachers during the past 10
years has increased from
5000 to $3.50 and is expected
to keep on increasing.
416,30O New Glasses
Greater enrolment also
means more construction. Ac-
cording to the United States
Office of Education, the Ma
tion will have to build 416,300
new classrooms Mt a cost of
SITS billion between now and
1865.
All these-and other-ex-
penses indicate that school
costs will at least double be-
fore the decade is over.
Does this mean taxes must
be doubled? Already, small
home owners find the tax
burden too heavy to bear.
Statistically. however. the
Nation is not overtaking it.
self for schools. In 1958-59,
outlay for elementary and
secondary schools amounted
to only 3 per cent of the
gross national product.
A report by the American
Association of School Admin
istrators shows that since
1948, this country has spent
$151 billion for tobacco, alco-
holic beverages, and cosmet-
les, but only $78 billion for
public schools.
The schools share of taxes
is going down. In 1882, it was
26 per cent; in 1857. II per
cent.
Educators generally agree
the country can well afford
an expanding school system.
1t is just a question of raising
the money equitably.
For 80 years, Congress has
turned down Federal aid to
schools for a variety of rea-
sons, including the segrega-
tion problem. This year, bills
were introduced, and al
though the Senate and House
each came up with compro-
mise proposals, neither body
shows awareness of the huge
sums needed.
President Eisenhower re-
peatedly has expressed his
opposition to supplying the
States with Federal funds on
a general basis. although he
has favored limited support
for school construction.
Vice President Nixon says:
81 believe that education is
and should remain primarily
a local and State responsible

mary responsibility for f1nanc-
ing education on the Federal
level, we are going to run seri-
Gus risks of impairing local
responsibility, and we also are
going to run the risk of Fed.

NOtLn american newspaper A1AldnCS
NEW YORK, June 16.-As
millions of American elemen-
ary and high school students
reach for their diplomas this
month, educators and econ
omists across the country are
wondering where the money
for next years classes will
come from.
Local communities and the
States no longer can meet
Americas multibillion- dollar
education bill, and the Fed
eral Government - so far -
has been unwilling to come
through with substantial aid.
The problem is a gigantic
one. Public school enrolment
is growing at a rate of 1,000,-
600 a year, and there is no
end in sight. The high enroll
ment increase has combined
with rising construction and
personnel costs to bring the
entire school system to the
brink of bankruptcy.
SkyrOcketing Costs
In 1948-49, expenditures
for public elementary and
high schools-including capi-
tai outlay for buildings -
came to SIS billion. BY 1853
SO this had trippled-to $14.5
billion. And, according to
conservative estimate of ex-
perts, the outlay will jump
to $50 billion by 1968-69.
There are more babies be-
ing born in the United States
today than ever before in the
nations history. The birth
rate, around 100000 a year
in the 1930s, is now more
than 100000 a year. Here

has meant to school enroll
