How libraries
pay dividends

and magazines = key study tools in to-
DAVIS current-events-consciO schools.
It's collection of recordings - disk and
tape films, film strips, pictures, slides,
models, maps, etc.
And finally, library is a librarian -
someone trained to bring children and
books into happy combination.
How big should school library be?
According to a careful study by The
American Association of School Libra
rians, these are ''quantitative standards
for library programs:
Books: For schools of 200 to 1000 stu
dents, from 5000 to 10000 volumes. For
each additional student over 1000, the
library will need 10 more books.
Magazines: For kindergarten through
sixth grade: IS titles. For kindergarten
through eighth grade: so titles.
Newspapers: three to six.
AUdio-visUuI materials: Films used
more than six times year should be pur-
chased rather than rented. Same goes for
recordings used more than once year.
teachers section: An elementary school
faculty needs 200 to 1000 reference
books, Is to so professional magazines.
Library staff: A school of 900 needs two
Librarians and at least one clerk. For
every additional 400 students, add
librarian, and for every additional 600
students add clerk.
How about the cost?
Do school Libraries cost money? Not as
much as many people imagine. Initial cost
depends on what kind of room is available
and many other factors. OF course if your
community is building a new school, now
is the time to raise the library question.
Once started, library that meets the
American Library Associations standards
can be maintained for SIS to $l2 per pupil
per year. Is that too much to pay for
freedom to learn?
More and more communities don't
think So Madison, Wis, Wichita, Kan,
Greensboro, N. c., Baltimore County, Md,
are among those whose elementary
schools are already reaPing dividends from
library programs. For economy-minded
taxpayers, these school systems report
noteworthy point: A school library in
creases the value of each dollar paid in
teachers salaries, because the library
arms the teacher with powerful array of
additional teaching tools.

Improvement

will provide the biggest
stimulant in history to the
conservation and rehabilita-

program, authorized in the
latest housing bill, FHA may
write mortgage insurance on
loans up to $4,000 with a
maximum repayment period
of 20 years for improvement
of homes.
Not only will the program
have an important role in
upgrading homes and neigh
borhoods, Mr.. Dow feels, but
also it will provide a shot
