Travelling Teachers Urged
To Help Logging Students

Despite its high overall rat
Ing, Montgomery County has
many school children who need
outside help to bring their stu
dies up to par.
This belief was expressed at
q board of education meeting
yesterday by one of its men,
bers, Mrs. Rose Kramer, who
suggested that travelling teach
ers might be one way to pro-
vide aid for youngsters in rural
sections who have trouble with
school work.
Mrs. Kramer declared that
some outside assistance is badly
needed to counteract "unfortu-
nate" home conditions under
which some children are ex-
pected to do their homework
She mentioned the work of
q volunteer group in the Ken
sington area, known as the
Kengar Education Committee,
in which so college educated
neighbors contribute their serv-
ices one evening a week for
remedial work with students.
Tutor All Ages
The Kengar program offers
three study sessions a week for
each interested child, held in
private homes or churches, in
cooperation with community
leaders. The tutoring is avail
able for all ages, from kinder
garten through senior high, and
has met with enthusiastic re-
sponse, she said.

BALTIMORE, Oct. IL (AP)
The Maryland Board Of Edu-
cation unanimously approved a
plan last night for a major eX-
pansion of State aid to local
school systems.
A prime feature of the So
called Mort plan, which has
been under study for the past
three years, is that the State
would contribute funds beyond
the level needed to maintain
minimum programs.
If the plan had gone into
effect this year, an additional
$40 million in State funds would
have been pumped into local
schools, and the State share oi
school support would have
risen up to 40.63 per cent. Cur
rently. the State is paying 34.4
per cent.
The plan contains various
formulas designed to equalize
State aid to schools, so thai
schools would support their
own programs to the extent
that they are able to pay
The basic formula for comput-
ing State aid would depend or

concern over dropouts and tru-

Maxwell E. Burdette, director
of research for the school board,
said the report released yester-
day on the County's testing
program revealed that children
in "a few scattered schools"
are not measuring up to stand

young teachers may be ap-
pointed to these rural schools

this would necessitate legis-

The school board president,

He assured Mr.. Aussiker that

that about half the schools in
the county's three-year build
ing program will be copies Of
existing structures.
The $26.5 million program
calls for construction of II

Savings Expected
Mr.. Gwynn said reusing
plans will reduce architects
fees from 6 to 8 per cent of
the cost of construction and
bring about savings in the pur-
chase of materials and build
ing maintenance.
The first four schools in the
program already have been
assigned to architects. Each
building will be a reproduction
Of a present school, Mr.. Gwynn
said.
The board and the Wash

The move probably will make
the school ready for occupancy
by December. thus eliminating
double shifts at Buck Lodge

follow new sewer lines.
