health and physical education facil-
ities with both a male. and female
teacher employed; better guidance
facilities with two part time coun-
selors employed; a new testing and
evaluating program.
In the elementary grades, Mr.
Anderson said, definite improve-
ments have been made: Bus trans-
portation has been provided for
Birch Grove children. These chil-
dren for many years walked to
school on the dangerous Luzerne-
Dallas Highway. A workroom has
been established in every elemen-
tary building teaching music, dra-
ma, art and English classes. There
are woodworking shops for boys and
girls. The size of every class room
is under 35 pupils, lightening the
teacher load and providing more
individual attention. There's com-
plete supervision of all teachers by
Charles James. There is a good Vis-
ual Aids Laboratory. The only kin-
dergarten in the Back Mountain
has been established and is operat-
ing successfully.
Financial advantages are all to
good since the Board receives from
the State, a $500.00 bonus subsidy
per teacher unit because of
jointure. This additional subsidy
amounts approximately to $10,200
per year for Kingston Township and
$2950.00 for Dallas Borough. With
increased costs all along the way,
and no increase in taxation, both
districts would be financially dis-
tressed without this additional rev-
enue. In addition, Kingston Town-
ship has paid $5,000 in overhead
costs at the High School building.
The only disadvantages to be
found, Mr. Anderson stated, are
largely sentimental and there are
only two of these. Dallas Borough's
sixty-eight-year-old High School has
lost its identity and Kingston Town-
ship’s, forty-years old-school has
done the same. Dallas Borough par-
ents must each day watch their
children ride out of town on bueses
to another area. Nevertheless, the
students from both districts have
become so well adjusted that it
is doubtful if they would wish to
return to their former status.
Mr. Anderson thanked Mr. Mar-
tin and Mr. James for the good
job they have accomplished and
expressed his sincere appreciation to
both boards for their fine spirit of
cooperation. -
A member of the Luzerne County
Board of School Directors, Harry
Ohlman, first president of the Joint
Board, spoke on ‘The State Coun-
cil of Education’s Plans for Larger
School Units.” Mr. Ohlman stated
that he favored jointure and that
finances are much better under
jointure. He congratulated the
school directors as level headed men
Lake-Noxen, And
Monroe Meet
Discuss Problems,
Feel Way Toward
Possible School
School Boards and Supervising
principals of Dallas-Franklin and
Lake-Noxen Townships met at
Lake-Noxen school Monday night at
the invitation of George Taylor,
to compare notes on school prob-
lems and to feel their way toward
possible erection of a senior high-
school building at some future date.
Arch Austin, supervising principal
of Beaumont school represented
Monroe Township.
All townships named face a build-
ing program within a matter of a
few years, if not immediately. With
larger educational units in the wind,
and Harrisburg pressing for larger
jointures, the trend must be taken
into consideration, according to all
present at the meeting. On the
other hand, it was felt inadvisable
to go farther at this point than to
with the welfare of their children
their first thought and material
things taking second place. He dis-
cussed the State Department’s plan
for larger administrative units in
the Back Mountain area. Districts
must, henceforth, meet State stand-
ards 100 per cent in order to enjoy
the financial benefits of being in a
jointure. These standards call for
rigid requirements as set forth by
the State Council of Education and
must be approved before additional
state subsidy is paid Dallas Bor-
ough-Kingston Township.
Following the program, guests ex-
plored the various departments of
the high school, including the com-
mercial departments, laboratory,
shops, music room and art displays.
All present came away better in-
formed and well pleased with what
they heard and saw.
Present were Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Ohlman, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Body-
comb, Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Richard-
son, Mr. and Mrs, Lewis W. Le-
Grand, Mr. and Mrs. David Jenkins,
Dallas Board Members; Mr. and
Mrs. Fredric W. Anderson, Mr. and
Mrs. James Hutchison, Mr. and Mrs.
Stanley Henning, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Mannear, Kingston Town-
ship directors; Mr. and Mrs. James
A. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
James, Atty. and Mrs. Mitchell Jen-
kins, Atty. and Mrs. L. R. Crisman,
Mrs.. John Stahl, Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Jones, James Goodwin, Ade-
line Burgess, Mrs Louise Colwell and
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Trimble.

sound out possibilities.
As Raymond Kuhnert points out,
the prime object of larger units is
to provide better facilities and a
more varied curriculum. If such a
goal can be attained without too
great expenditure, that is desirable.
But the status of Pennsylvania, far
from the pinnacle of education as
compared to western states, must
not be allowed to drop lower, but
take an upward swing. If larger
units will do it, then larger units
are desirable.
Mr. Austin put himself on record
as in favor of progress. Beaumont
does not face an immediate build-
ing program, as its population is
practically static at present, fluc-
tuating a little with hard times or
good. But Mr. Austin feels that
with distance being rapidly elimin-
ated, and the trend ‘of population
toward the country, there is no
knowing when the present spread
of building “will extend far along
Route 309, making present school
facilities adequate only for lower
grades.
Mr. Taylor, in extending the in-
vitation to other school principals
and school boards was actuated by
a feeling that the time is ripe for
change, and that all school districts
named are too small to carry the
burden of increased demand on
facilities. It was his thought that
a centrally located senior high
school would take the load off the
buildings now in use and render
them adequate for years to come.
The Home Economics Department,
under direction of Miss Jo Ann
Harris, assisted by Mrs. Florence
Worth, served refreshments.
