“Pm starving too, Suzy. What say we each grab a
sandwich and I'll call you back in ten minutes!”
Fewer and fewer taxpayers are
interested in what their schools are
doing, judging from tthe slim attend-
ance at Wednesday night's panel,
continued from a panel on school af-
fairs held two weeks earlier at Dal-
las Senior High School and not com-
pleted. The panel discussion Octo-
ber 10 drew fifty people; last
Wednesday the number was thirty.
The meeting was staged in the li-
brary at Dallas Senior High School,
with Morris Slater, president of
Citizens Committee for Better
Schools replacing William Clewell as
moderator. Robert Ziegler, Welton
Farrar and Dr. Robert A. Mellman
were panelists,
School board members, teachers,
and a sprinkling of solid citizens
comprised the audience,
Dr. Mellman displayed charts,
showing in graphic form the number -
of pupils in ratio to teachers, the
number expected next year, and the
rising enrollment in each classroom
if the number of teachers is not in*
creased.
Addition of each ‘teacher, he point-
ed out, means an additional $4,000
in the budget. Beginning with the
fourth grade, he continued, it is vital
that teachers be able to deal with
smaller classes. In the primary
grades, one, two and three, absences
caused by measles, chickenpox, and

the daily average of attendance. A
class of thirty-five shrinks to thirty.
In the High School, he saw the
expansion of library service as of
paramount importance.
He repeated his statement of
October 10, “This is an austerity
program. Not a nickel is spent that
is not called for in the budget. A
new building costs money. This one
carries a yearly rental of almost
$100,000, paid to the Building Au-
thority, and utilities cost $35,000.”
Later in the evening, he said,
“Taxes out here are painfully low.
Millage of 78 sounds like a lot, but
it is estimated on an extremely low
and unrealistic property valuation,
having no real relation to actual
market value.”

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1962
Library may be enclosed and used
for classes,
At Junior High School, smaller
classes have taken the pressing load
from teachers, and they concur that
they are getting much better results.
Imperceptibly, school enrollment is
growing steadily. With the com-
pletion of the long delayed Luzerne-
Dallas highway, it is reasonable to
suppose that more families will find
it desirable to move to the Back
Mountain,
In the elementary picture, two
more classrooms are to be readied
at Westmoreland, remodeled from
the former industrial arts room. This
will require two more teachers,
Sample Questions:
Q . How about standardization of
all school buildings, a master plan
for the entire State?
A. What is suitable for one section
might not be suitable for anether.
A wealthy district, able to sign the
tab for anything it wants, would not
be satisfied with. the same building
which might fill the bill for another
area not blessed with so much in-
come. Individual homes differ, ‘in-
dividuals are not run into a mould.
A school should have individuality,
depending upon the locality.
tion, not including transportation,
compare with other districts?
A. We spent $319.62 this current
year per pupil, not including trans-
portation. The cost of transportation
is over $58,000. Some districts allow
$500 to $600 per pupil. Very few
spend less than we do. And this is
an area which expects to attract a
high class of people, with the schools
a strong drawing point. The cost
per pupil here is a little less than it
was last year, when the cost was
$330.34. Not enough is allowed for
books, though study materials are
about right.
Q. How many pupils from Mead-
owcrest, and are the residents of
the Housing Authority paying
taxes? (This was a question asked
by many people.)
A. There are 56 pupils from
Meadowcrest. Residents pay per-
capita ‘taxes. As they are all renters,
they have no property tax.
Q. Why can’t the teachers be re-
lieved of collecting for various
funds ?
A. It is a valuable experience in
living in a community, for children
to contribute their own money. We
need clerical help, but this is ex-
pensive,
Q. How does the amount we are
spending on each: pupil for educa-'
Q. How does our school system
There is mo leeway in the budget.
It is a better than average school
system. It could be better if taxes
were raised.
Q. What gain would there be in
merging in a larger unit according
to the proposed Luzerne County
plan?
A. In a larger unit, more special-
ization could lead to a better pro-
gram, teAchers not wasting their
efforts in teaching subjects for
which they are not so well qualified,
but concentrating upon their own
fields. Research would be possible,
a curriculum center of information,
perhaps a mobile language labora-
tory. Duplication could be avoided
a superior teacher more widely used.
At the close of the session, Mr.
Ziegler distributed pamphlets and
maps, outlining the proposed merger
as affecting Unit C, embracing the
Dallas school system. The State
strongly advocates 4,000 pupils as
the absolute minimum for an ac-
ceptable district.
Final findings: Education is not
for free. It is going ‘to cost more
whether the merger is formed or
not, if the community wants to
maintain 'its standards or go ahead
with a program which would better
rate ?
A. High, but far from being tops. highly competitive world.
Dr. Mellman envisaged a possible
junior college program in the fu
ture, to relieve overcrowded condi-
tions in colleges, and the parents of
the staggering cost of higher educa-
tion for two years campus living.
