'Master Plan' Requires
Early Financial Accord
By MEL AXILBUND
An “imminent” conference of
university administrators to dis
cuss the financial aspects of the
proposed, master plan for state
education must be the first step
in obtaining financial support for
’such a plan. Dr. Charles H. Boehm,
state superintendent of -public in
struction, said last night.
In a discussion following a
speech to. the Pennsylvania So
ciety of Newspaper Editors spring
seminar, Boehm said that the fi
nancial aspects of a ■ master plan
must, be among the' earliest on
which agreement is reached by
the schools^involved.
"Agreement on the indices to
be used;in the appropriation of
state funds will enable the uni
versities involved Penn State,
Pitt, Temple and PemV to pre
sent a united front before the
general assembly,” he said.
. In his speech to the newspaper
editors, Boehm stressed the need
for improving tite “quality of the
elementary and secondary edu
cational programs, now, available.
A.-major step !in this direction
would be taken by the elimination
of i much of- the material that, is
now duplicated in oiir schools,
he! said. I ; i
"Pennsylvania has been pressing
. ahead for a bold new curriculum
design which . will accent unity
and a' continuous flow of content
- from kindergarten through to the
undergraduate college and in some
instances to the gjraduate school.
This' continuum will lead to the
elimination of a large amount of
obselescent content,” Boehm said.
" The improvement of the pri

Boehm said, without qualifica
tion, that the fiscal considerations
of a mastpr plan are the greatest!
which mils} be solved .
“The commitment of. the state,
tq-education and other social areas
has always been low,” he added.
The portions of a master plan
that, will; require legislative en
actment, ;he said are the finan
cial problems which the schools
will shortly be attacking. Agree
ment on;these issues is therefore
of most pressing demand.
A dramatic increase in the num
ber ‘of Scholarships offered by
the state’ possibly to as many as
25,000 according to Boehm’s guide
lines fo; the development of a
master plan, will require a con
stitutional amendment, he said.
The people will thus have the
opportunity to express their sup
port of rhigher education to the
legislative, he added. ■’
i As the first- Steps of a master
plan are implemented, and ad
ditional! provisions evolved, the
tax structure may need revision.
This would be necessary, he said,
because! the funds available for
education, as for all state ser
vices, afe tied to the money made
available by the people.
