bridge the gap between the
home and the school in cases
dealing with sociological and
emotional problems.
Two doctors on duty part
time and four nurses comprise
the medical staff of the schools.
Examination, diagnosis and rec
ommendation are the primary
functions of the medical staff.
In addition, time is given to first
aid, record keeping and en-
forcement of immunization re-
quirements.
Teachers Are Guides
There are currently two full
time counselors at Shaw High
School and one full-time coun-
selor at Kirk Junior High
School. 1t is expected that all
teachers will serve as guild
ance personnel in their day-to-
day contacts with pupils. The
complex society, chronological
demands, and the critical col
lege entrance problems are but
a few of the reasons for more
and better counseling services.
In order to meet the expand
ing needs of students the East
Cleveland Board of Education
authorized two additional po-
sitions in the school system
for the 196O-1961 school year.
A Co-ordinator of pupil per-
sonnel has been appointed to

STAFF PERSONNEL
The East Cleveland profes-
sional staff consisted Of 236
terrified personnel during the
1959-196O school year. There
were 167 women and 50 men on
the staff. The average age was
80 years and the average years
of teaching experience was
1871.
Of the total staff 104 held
four-year provisional certifi-
Gates, AZ held 8-year profess
sional certificates, IS perma-
nent crtificates, and 10 held
temporary certificates. Four
teen teachers possessed less
than a bacehlor's degree, 1877
had completed the bachelors
degree, IL had five or more
years training, and 73 had the
masters degree. approximate
ly fifteen per cent of the staff
are currently enrolled in grad
uate school to complete higher
degrees.
One teacher in Shaw High
School was assigned out of
his major field of prepara.
tion and twelve teachers at
Kirk Junior School were as
signed to minor fields of
preparation. An attempt will
be made to improve these
conditions as quickly as pos.
sible.
AS of this writing, we have
had eight teachers retire and
% resign for other reasons:
such as, pregnancies, 6, hus-
bands moving, a marriage 8,
home conflicts, 8, and miscel-
laneous reasons 6.
Realizing that the quality of
instruction is dependent upon
the quality Of teaching staff, ),
every effort is being made to
replace departing teachers with
fully trained and experienced
teachers.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
The school buildings in East
Cleveland are relatively old
having all been constructed
prior to 1928, but due to a fine
maintenance and repair pro-
gram, are in good physical con-
dition. Educationally the build
ings also serve their purpose

FINANCE
Every effort is being made
to provide the best education
as efficiently as possible. East
Cleveland enjoys the lowest city
tax rate in Cuyahoga County
primarily because city and
school population have not in
creased as rapidly as have
neighboring districts.
Approximately 80 per cent
of the school operating income
comes from local sources while
about 20 per cent is derived
from the State of Ohio. Dur
ing the calendar year 1869,
$2,338,854.17 was spent for op-
Grating purposes. The per pu-
pill cost of education in East
Cleveland was somewhat in ex-
cess Of S400 last year.

Residents Proud of Schools
The East Cleveland Schools
have been extremely fortunate
in the past in having fine lead
ership, dedicated teachers and
loyal community support. Pride
in the school system has been
uniquely characteristic of East
Cleveland for the entire his
tory of the city.
Familiarity with the educa-
tional program is one of the
most significant ingredients for
success. With this thought in
mind, this report has been pre-
pared for the Board of Educa-
tion and the citizens of the
East Cleveland City School
District.

CARS SEEN AS SMOTHERING
CAPITALS BROAD VSTAS

Prof. Harry A. Anthony of Columbia University
planning specialist the automobile is threat
to the beauty of Washington
Mr. Anthony. who conducts graduate course in urban
renewal at Columbia, said yesterday that unless
transit system is built will smother" the broad
vistas of the Capital.
His class at Columbia has up with an answer of
its own to the problem. Robert B. Schumacher, traffic
engineer for the New York subway system and member
of the class designed transit system using exist
ing rail lines to bring commuters into the city Once in
the city, the commuters would get to their destinations
on system of subways crcling the city.
Mr., schumacher said his system would be cheaper
than mass transit systems far proposed for Washing
ton The big saving he said would result from using
existing rail lines rather than building a tunnel for
subway coming into the city.
The Columbia urban renewal graduate class has been
working on blueprntS for the Washington of tomorrow
all year Besides the transit system class has come
up with design for broad pedestrian mall east of the
Caplto ana new type OF apartment for Washngton's
population The plans of the will be considered by

'Peacemakers
Await Release
OF Crusader

ANDERSON. w. Va. May 20
(AP).-Roseanna Robinson, a
woman of strong and unusual
ideas and will power to match,
was to make a triumphant exit
from the Federal Reformatory
for Women today.
Awaiting her at the gates
were a few people from other
States who believed she should
never have been put in the re-
-formatory in the first place.
Like her, they oppose paying
income taxes because 80 per
cent of the money. by their
calculation, goes for military
spending, and they are op-
posed to war. They call them
selves the "Peacemakers."
The Federal Government, a;
can be imagined, has taken a
dim view of their attitude. Miss
Robinson, a 35-year-old well
fare worker from Chicago, got
a year and a day sentence for
contempt when her case came
up in United States District
Court there. The sentence was
for refusing to give informa-
tion about her finances.
Refused to Eat
She reacted by refusing tc
take meals. Since her sentenc-
ing on February l8, the only
food she has received entered
her body through a tube.
Her fellow believers have
called it forced feeding. The
reformatory administration has
pointed out that while she
would do nothing to help out,
she didn't struggle either.
After three months of this
Judge Edwin A. Robson in Chi
cago decided to order Miss
Robinson's immediate release
Judge Robson issued the order
yesterday, saying she had be-
come a burden Ito the medical
facilities" and, besides, she had
been punished enough.
His concern over the situa-
ton was more than shared by
her fellow "Peacemakers." Last
Saturday a station wagon full
of them pulled up outside the
reformatory and the occu-
pants began picketing. They
were there in sympathy for
their heroine and to propa-
gandize.
I'VE too refuse to pay taxes
for war;" one of their signs
read.
They pitched a tent and set
tied down for a long stay. Pre-
sumably they had no inkling
the judge might cut short the
sentence.
Ignored by officials
The reformatory administra-
ton took no official notice of
them.
According to Ernest Bromley
of Cincinnati, their spokesmen,
the group outside the walls had
grown to 10. from six States
and the District of Columbia.
He said seven of them have
eaten nothing and drunk only
water since they arrived.
This helps to express their
deep concern for Rose Robin
son." he said.
Whether Mr.. Bromley and
the others were going to have
much time to congratulate Miss
Robinson on her sudden free
dom was a question. The word
from the reformatory grape
vine was that the written order
for her release would arrive
early today, but she would be
held until shortly before the
4:45 pm. EST train to Chicago,
then be rushed out and put
aboard.
