Zion Awhile ago ‘the president of the | First Methodist W.S.C.S. of Pittston [told me I was to order a communion set suitable for use at Valley Crest and the society would pay for it. So I did. There are times, such as Holy Thursday afternoon when I want to give communion to all the Protestants who can gather at the chapel. My little pocket set is hardly suitable. In fact at the Christmas Eve service I borrowed a tray of glasses from Mt. Zion for that purpose. Now with this beautiful new set, I will not need to borrow.

The following letter has been sent 'to the School Board with the | report requested by the Board: “On December 11, 1962, the Citi- zens Committee for Better Schools submitted a report to the board in support of portions of Dr. Mellman’s public like that, but she made her-'! requests for additional staff as part 'of his program for improving the | quality of education in this district. | | At the following school board meet- ing there was no discussion and | almost no mention of this report, ‘and of its recommendations. | “The executive committee of the ' Citizens’ Committee for Better | Schools feels very strongly that these , recommendations and Dr. Mellman’s entire program are extremslly im- portant to the future of the school | amine in detail this report and to | onside acting on these recom- mendations. | “As indicated in the report we | have carefully taken into consider- ation the cost of implementing these | recommendations and the conse- | quent necessity of increasing taxes, "and we are firmly convinced that the expenditures are a necessary in- vestment. “An additional copy of the report is attached for your convenience. We urge you to utilize it. “Sincerely yours, “Citizens Committee for “Better Schools, “George Jacobs, Chairman.” Mr. Jacobs expressed his willing- ness to attend the next school board meeting to discuss this report: Report of the Citizens Committee for Better Schools to the Profes- sional Committee of the School Board of Education of the Dallas Area Schools. The following professional and non-professional additions to the Disérict Staff, have been recom- | mended and requested by Dr. Mell- man, superintendent, at the regular ! school board meeting held December 11, 11962.

It is this Committee's understanding that a bookkeeper- clerk for the Administration Office will receive approval of the board. It» is the opinion of the Committee that Advanced Placement Teaching represents a substantial contribution to balanced programming for stu- dents of the above average range of ability, and should be instituted at the junior and senior high schools as soon as the professional help can be obtained. ) = At the present time, elementary art is being taught under a handi- cap. It is suggested that additional teaching time be scheduled for the elementary art program, and that the hiring of an art ‘teacher for the secondary level be delayed until ade- quate classroom space is available. The elementary music program should be expanded to include a stringed music instructor who can also be assigned to enrich the sec- ondary music program. The elementary physical education program is to be desired but is not recommended at this time due ‘to lack of facilities, and inability to find a teacher trained in this field. It is the understanding of this Committee that the need for Home | Economics and Industrial Arts teach- ers can be delayed by scheduling an additional major subject for cer- have fun -..oe more done ® LAWNS ® GARDENS - INTERNATIONAL® CUB CADET © 7 Horsepower ® Dependable ® 25 Big Capacity Attachments BUY NOW ON EASY TERMS ® Easy handling ® Comfortable A.

It is recognized that financial and space limitations of the school dis- trict limit support of the superin- tendent’s total request at this time, however, we are convinced that for the good of the future growth of our community we cannot afford to merely maintain our present quality of education, but must continually strive to improve it. Hiring these professional employees is only the first step in the overall ideal pro- gram suggested by Dr. Mellman in meetings last October with the Citi- zens Committee. = (Copies of ‘these programs are available.) It is understood that increased enrollment and mandated salary in- creases will require additional ex- penditures to hold status quo—and that any increases in program qual- ity such as recommended above will require increased tax money to sup- port it. This fact has been care- fully considered in arriving at the above recommendations. Respectfully submitted, Citizens Committee for Better Schools, George M. Jacobs, Chairman.
