''The progress of education in Mon
tana," the chief executive officer on
education says, sis so closely related
to the state education agency that
Montana can i'll afford the risk of
an inadequaltely-adm administered state
office-a risk which is very real,
owing TO the comparatively low sal
airy of the office, the absence of ade-
quate safeguards as to executive
qualifications, and the reluctance OF
weH-educated persons of substantial
background to undergo the experience
of political campaigning.
Other recommendations presented
by Miss Miller include:

HIGHER SALARIES REQUIRED
TO ATTRACT PERSONNEL

"That the salary structure of
the professional staff of the Depart
ment of Public Instruction be re-
vised to provide more favorable
comparison with that of Montana's
first class school districts, and that
of other state agencies.
I'm comparisons with the salaries
of school superintendent and with
salaries offered by other Montana
state agencies where top salaries are
more than half again as much as the
top salaries of the Department of
Public instruction, the state educa-
tion agency presents poor picture.

basis, as are the Justices of the Su-

In this proposal, she also suggests

"Such an adjustment formula,
based on an objective index of edu-

serve to guarantee that the school
