Under the present policy, a teacher transferring from the Bachelor's Career Scale to the Masters' Career Scale may receive an in­ crease of $100, $200, $300, $AD0 or $500 solely dependent upon the particular salary step he has attained on the BA Career Scale when his degree work is completed. The actual differentials for this transfer under existing policies are indicated graph­ ically by the arrows in Appendix I on page 3. In the 1962-63 Salary Scale, all teachers who transferred from the BA Scale to the MA 5cale received a $A00 differential at each step. The present transfer policy for moving a teacher from the MA Career Scale to the Doctor's Career Scale similarly provides a regular $500 differential at all steps of the MA Scale. The BA Career Scale does not provide for the same increments at corresponding steps on the MA 5cale; therefore, the transfer differential presents the varying pattern mentioned above. The inequity involved in the present transfer procedures may be better under­ stood if one considers two hypothetical teachers; A and B as designated on the Scales in Appendix I. Teacher A is on Step 11, teacher B is on Step 12 of the Bachelor Career Scale. Teacher A with a salary of $8A00 on the BA Career Scale can transfer to the MA Career 5cale Step 10 with a salary of $8900 giving a differential of $500. Teacher B with an $8800 salary and one step ahead of teacher A on the BA Career Scale cannot move to Step 11 with a $9A00 salary on the MA Career Scale be­ cause the differential would be $600 or $100 in excess of the present $500 limita­ tion on such transfers. By existing policy teacher B is also placed on Step 10 of the MA Career Scale with only a $100 differential for having acquired his MA degree. Teacher B has received $A00 less than teacher A for his MA Oegree; yet both teachers have met identical requirements. Therefore, the only difference between the two teachers is the fortuitous circumstance of which step of the BA Career Scale they are on at the time they receive the MA Degree. One teacher who actually received the $100 increase in the above example, estimated that despite the fact he received some scholarship assistance, he had spent in excess of $1,000 for tuition and books at the American University in order to obtain his MA degree. In addition, he estimated that he invested over 1,500 hours of his time in preparing for his advanced degree. This latter figure was calculated by estimating that it took two hours of preparation for each hour in class. If this teacher had spent a like amount of time on a part-time job that paid a minimal wage of $2.00 per hour, he could have earned $3,000. This means that for a personal investment equivalent to $A,000 he received an immediate monetary return of only $100 on the salary schedule. Extensive thought and study has been given to this problem by our school admin­ istration and teachers alike. Although the Bachelor's Career Scale and the Masters' Career Scale begin with a differential of $500, they progress with unequal incre­ ments as pointed out above; the existing problem in one form or another is unavoid­ ably with us. That is, it does not appear possible to arrange the two salary scales so that teachers can transfer from varying steps on the BA Career Scale to the MA Career Scale with a comparable differential without a significant revision of the existing salary scale which would affect many teachers who have no relationship to the transfer problem. The only approach that appeared feasible in attempting to correct the inequities in the existing policy will place some teachers between steps of the MA Career Scale for varying periods of time. Understandably the administra­ tion of salaries and accurate appraisal of continuing costs of the salary scales would be more complex if large numbers of teachers received salaries placing them between steps on the salary scale. �REPORT OF THE SALARY COP1P1ITTEE (cant.) 2 9/17/6A However, the paint af greatest importance to staff morale is that teachers should receive equal differentials in salary as the result of having attained com­ parable advanced degrees. The 5alary Committee made every effort to eliminate the salary inequity-while maintaining the maximum degree of administrative efficiency in-fiscal management. A solution has been proposed by the AEA Salary Committee which- would remove the transfer inequity by granting all BA Career teachers the same differential while leaving them between steps the shortest period of time. Specif­ ically, the proposal is: That the Arlington County School Board authorize, in addi­ tion to the yearly increment, an increase in salary of $500 for the current year for any BA Career Scale teacher who has shown evidence of having completed his Plasters' degree requirements before September 1, 196A, and that such teacher shall receive a minimum increment of SABO in each succeeding year until he reaches an established step on the PIA Career Scale, such step to be reached by $500 increment wherever applicable. It is further recommended that the stipulations herein shall also apply to BA Career Scale teachers who complete Plasters' degree requirements subsequent to September 1, 196A as well as those who qualified for the P A Career Scale effective I September 1, 1963. As described graphically in Appendix II, page A, this proposal would equalize the salary differential for the P A and put teachers at particular places in between I steps for a minimal period of time. The proposed career transfer scale attempts to retain simplicity in arrangement so that it can be easily interpreted; in annual cost appraisals, the relatively few teachers between steps in a given year would be nominal. An analysis of the plan will show that of the 11 possible transfer steps, three BA steps (6A0Q, 8A00 and 1D5B0) move teachers to the PIA Career Scale directly; five BA steps (8000, 880B, 92BB, 9600 and 10000). will require only one year between PIA steps; and three BA steps will be out of a phase for 2 years (7600), 3 years (7200) and A years (6800), respectively (see Appendix II for graphic description). Since only 15-20 teachers are expected to move from the BA Career Scale to the PIA Career Scale annually, the $5Q0 differential for all would not likely require a great deal more money than the cost for the existing policy which provides $100, $200, $300, $A00 or $500. It is our sincere hope that such a plan can be developed in the best interest of teacher morale. Ue pledge our full support in the effort to achieve an equitable solution to this vexing problem. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As a part of the official procedure, before any action is taken on changes, our Com­ mittee will submit recommendations for suggested improvements and have an opportunity to discuss them with the superintendent. This is a big step forward for AEA and should be so recognized by your members as well as nonmembers . This is one phase of the official recognition we discussed with the school board last year. Please inform your faculties of this progress. N A i INSURANCE: Information on the expanded group life insurance plan of E' NEA was explained in the October issue of the NEA JOURNAL.

Please be sure that every AEA member has the opportunity to know of this benefit of group membership. A special arrangement is being made available ior those AEA members who wish to participate. Only those AEA members who pledge are immediately a part of the group. Other AEA members who do not wish to participate by pledging are not then counted against our quota and are not elegible to receive blood through this plan. Please be clear on this point with members so that we do not have misunderstandings at a later date. An article on page 2 of the October issue of the AEA REFORTER (now at the printers) will ex plain this again to members. The deadline for this initial drive is the next Board of Directors meeting, October 22, Kenmore at 7:00 P.M. Please bring the pledge forms and any questions your members have about the plan. Members may be en rolled all during the year, but are not covered until the pledge form is in the AEA office for processing and sending on to the MLl IBB. Important - any member who is unable to give blood for any reason should secure a substitute pledge. It is possible for many individuals to donate blood several times a year. If no substitute can be secured, let us know in the AEA office. I e will try to find a substitute for a member who is unable d to give blood for medical reasons. FINANCIAL REPORT: Please take note of the recommendation to erase the deficit of 3372 incurred for AEA insurance and bonding taken on a three year basis. This will save the association 373, as noted in the enclosed memo, on bonding and insurance (AEA //60). Other deficits incurred by committees were discussed. They arose in view of increased activity and expanded programs beyond budget anticipation in April when the budget was prepared. The president has called for an analysis of all committee projects and financial needs for the rest of the year. The officers have asked the executive secretary to come up with some written proposals to consider a policy in handling AEA fiscal matters. These policies will be reviewed at the next meeting of the Executive Com mittee. AEA QUESTIONNAIRE - The enclosed memo (AEA #50) on the tabulation of last Spring's questionnaire should be considered for discussion on October 22. After your acceptance of the report, consideration should be tjiven by of ficers and committee chairmen of using these results for building future AEA programs. NEA EVALUATION: At Harpers Ferry and in packets distributed to those who were unable to attend, copies of the NEA Evaluation of AEA were given to you. Please inform your members that the report is available for their study. A limited number of additional copies can be ordered for use in faculty roams. A number will be kept on file in the AEA office. Committee Chairmen will appreciate member's reaction to features of the report that will help in formulation of proposals to implement any desirable recommenda tions . �ADVANCE AGENDA ITERS - BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING - 2 October 22, 1964 - LEGISLATION: Please review the enclosed proposals for supplementing the state association legislative programs. They were recommended to you by the Executive Committee. You will be asked to vote on them on October 22 in preparation for state conventions - October 20-30. Also take note of the special committee set up to deal with the VEA study of the question of membership in VEA as affected by the NEA Resolu tion on Desegregation of State and Local Affiliates adopted at last July's convention in Seattle. The special committee, appointed by the president (see executive minutes, P. 1), met on October 15 to consider an AEA position on this question. If possible we will try to get you the results of their deliberation prior to your October 22 meeting. CITIZENSHIP: Rose Holton, Citizenship Committee Chairman, has agreed to co ordinate the VEA initiated project of calling in election returns from local precincts throughout the state. The VEA's Executive Committee and Board of Directors announced their acceptance of the project and told us that they decided that the 1,5000 com pensation for all the local poll workers for calling in the results to our local news media would be put into the VEA President's Scholarship Fund. In discussing this at the District H Board meeting with Mrs. Halliday, District H President, and officers from Alexandria and Falls Church, it was decided that we would agree to participate with the stipulation that a pro rata share of the .|>5000 could be returned t D those locals who requested it for their own Scholarship funds. This request apparently upset the VEA executive secretary. We have the additional problem in Arlington of having a Citizenship Chairman (our logical official to coordinate such a project) who is not now eligible for VEA membership. L e are going ahead with the project, which is an excellent opportunity i for us to cooperate with our news media services. They will count on us to do a top job for them in getting quick election returns for their readers and viewers. We have the understanding that we will receive a prorata share of the !.,500D for the Arlington County Teachers Scholarship Fund, Inc., a non-profit corporation which helps Arlington students and teachers with scholarship assistance through fund raising of its own. AEA contributes s v5Q0 from its budget each year and has a representative on the Fund's Board of Directors. CREDENTIALS: The balloting has been tabulated for VEA Convention delegates. Delegates in addition to those going from the offices and executive com mittee are: Uhlman S. Alexander Donna Crook Robert Pruess Sue Goodman Juliana Graves Celeste B.

A desk for each child is not enough, was the opinion of the community. If children are to make the best use of their time in school, it was felt every teacher must be trained so well that each child will receive good instruction in all subjects. The School Board recognizes that there is a growing body of knowledge which teachers need to pass on to their pupils, and that better ways are being found to teach arithmetic, reading, spelling and other subjects. Even ex perienced teachers can benefit from refresher courses and beginners need help in order to become effective teachers as quickly as possible. Arlington’s programs for professional improvement of teachers, as described here, were begun one at a time as needs became apparent. The plans are flexible and undergoing constant change and improvement.

Closely connected with this policy, although not a part of any teacher's contract, is a requirement instituted in 1959 that the few Arlington teachers who have not completed college must begin an organized program of study to complete their college training. They must report to the Superintendent each June on the progress they have made and must outline plans of study for the Cl] �year ahead.

Bo gen, former executive secretary of the Aldington Education As sociation (AEA), blasted critics of tile County School Board la st» night at the board meeting. Bogen recently resigned after three years at his AEA post in order to complete work on his doctorate. Bogen also announced the ap pointment of his successor, Ken neth Law, 30, a graduate of Col umbia University and past execu tive secretary of the Connecticut Edacation Association. LAW WAS appointed by the AEA Monday, Bogen said. Following is the text of Bogen’s speech to the board: “DURING more than three years in Arlington County I have had the unique opportunity to view the trends in public policy in three separate roles, as the executive secretary of an organ ization representing more than 90 per cent of the professional staff of the public schools, as a parent until children in its schools, and a taxpaying citizen. “Now that my tenure is coming to an end, I feel compelled to make a few observations from each of three roles. “As a former classroom teach er and a spokesman for Arling ton’s educators, I have a very good feeling about the outlook for (ovet) In other action, the Board, heard comments from Robert) Bogen, outgoing president!

"EACH OP our School Board members has a blend of special ized graduate training and more than 15 years’ experience in re levant subject fields, a record of leadership in school and civic af fairs prior to membership on the Board, and the experience of having had at least two children graduate from our schools.

Now, the 57-year Arlington resident is trying to locate the political, social, and economic forces that turned a “backwards country village" of the 1930s into the "bustling community" of Arlington in a span of only about a decade. The timing of the project, Campbell says, is crucial. "History, after all," he notes, "the memories of people. You're not going to get these people to write books."

"He knows the county," says Arlington Virginia librarian Sarah Collins, brainchild behind resumption of the history project. Admitted to the Washington bar in 1924, Campbell was a seven-year . member of the Arlington County Board in the 1940s after serving a stint as chairman of the county Public Utilities Commission in the mid-1930s. One of the founders of Arlingtonians for a Better County (ABC), Campbell represented Northern Virginia legislators before the Supreme Court in a scries of landmark cases that helped the rapidly expanding region to secure equitable state representation. He also helped break the "massive resistance" laws — an attempt by thestate to prevent the "deliberate" desegreation of public schools ordered by the Supreme Court in 1954. They were "hectic days,” Campbell recalls, days in which the General Assembly fell only one vote short at one point of abolishing the state's public education system. Campbell fought against the state see CAMPBELL, page 8_____> RESEARCHING HISTORY — Edmund Campbell, an Arlington resident and recently retired lawyer, is delving into what made the county what it is today. Campbell ... laws — which closed down schools targeted for desegregation — and succeeded ir. having them ruled unconstitutional by a federal court and ultimately by the Supreme Court. He also heljed organize statewide citizens’ committees to lobby the General Assembly against the massive jesistance” tactics. Campbell had run as a Democrat against Joel Broyhill in a 1952 House of Representatives race, falling several hundred votes shy of the Republican in the district GOP presidential candidate Dwight i* Eisenhower carried by 15,000 votes, votes. But now Campbell is asking Broyhill and other prominent figures like long-time school board member Barnard Joy about the times in a reserved room at the Arlington Central Library. He says his interviewees are usually happy to oblige. "They're glad to have their efforts and activities in Arlington recognized," notes Campbell in the measured tones of a seasoned lawyer. "They're glad to. make their contribution to Arlington history from page one that way." It’s a legacy of which Campbell is , proud, calling the county "possibly the most literate, socially conscious community" he has ever seen. But he realizes that the county has changed drastically since a massive influx of federal employees before and during World War II. Arlington ~ must overcome those problems posed by the county’s increasing existence as a bedroom community, he concluded and conflicting cultural and educational patterns brought by recent waves of immigrants. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Admitted to the Washington bar in 1924, Campbell was a seven-year . member of the Arlington County Board in the 1940s after serving a stint as chairman of the county Public Utilities Commission in the mid-1930s. One of the founders of Arlinglonians for a Better County (ABC), Campbell represented Northern Virginia legislators before the Supreme Court in a series of landmark cases that helped the rapidly expanding region to secure equitable stale representation. He also helped break the "massive resistance” laws — an attempt by the state to prevent the “deliberate" desegreation of public schools ordered by the Supreme Court in 1954. They were “hectic days," Campbell recalls, days in which the General Assembly fell only one vote short at one point of abolishing the state’s public education system. Campbell fought against the state sec CAMPBELL, RESEARCHING HISTORY — Edmund Campbell, an Arlington resident and recently retired lawyer, is delving into what made the Campbell ... laws — which closed down schools targeted for desegregation — and succeeded in having them ruled unconstitutional by a federal court and ultimately by the Supreme Court. He also helped organize statewide citizens’ committees to lobby the General Assembly against the massive jesistance” tactics. Campbell had run as a Democrat against Joel Broyhill in a 1952 House of Representatives race, falling several hundred votes shy of the Republican in the district GOP presidential candidate Dwdght I Eisenhower carried by 15,000 votes, votes. But now Campbell is asking Broyhill and other prominent figures like long-time school board member Barnard Joy about the times in a reserved room at the Arlington Central Library. He says his interviewees are usually happy to oblige. "They’re glad to have their efforts and activities in Arlington recognized," notes Campbell in the measured tones of a seasoned lawyer. “They’re glad to, make their contribution to Arlington history from page one that way.” It’s a legacy of which Campbell is ; proud, calling the county "possibly the most literate, socially conscious community” he has ever seen. But he realizes that the county has changed drastically since a massive influx of federal employees before and during World War II. Arlington must overcome those problems posed by the county's increasing existence as a bedroom community, he concluded and conflicting cultural and educational patterns brought by recent waves of immigrants. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We m ight as well get used to these city ways right now. I'll just call the fire departm ent.” NEW FACULTY MEMBERS One of the best parts of the day to any Stratford student is the forty min utes devoted to lunch. With food care fully prepared by professional cooks and dieticians, and ample time for relaxa tion, there is no reason why we cannot enjoy it. As few rules have been made as possible and the student is allowed a lot of freedom, with the best facilities money can buy. But sometimes students seem to forget where they are eating. Perhaps it would make them feel more at home to eat in a cafeteria th at resembled the part of the barnyard where bacon is grown. They dash to the cafeteria, complain about the food, eat the food in an un mannerly form, then go outside or wand er the halls to disturb classes, leaving the tables for someone else to clean up. Many are not guilty, but the few who lose their manners will lose the liberal privileges for all. The hams who think that cutting in line is a big joke, or think that complaining is a sign of intelligence, or disturbing classes a great sport can not be tolerated. Unless these heels are stepped on now, lunchtime will be come ju st another class. To avoid this a little common courtesy must be practiced. Make sure everyone helps to clean the table, and wait patient ly in line. The food is not bad, so take your time and taste it. The cafeteria is a place where students can relax and enjoy lunch, so stay there and let the other classes get something done. S trat ford is a modern school but old fashion ed manners are not outdated. March 22, 1951 THE SIGNPOST Page Three Candid Shots Taken a t ©pening Ceremonies MR. KENNETH L.

Well spring is here early and the love bug has come with it. Yes, love is grand isn’t it Paul Quintus and Jo Hutton? Bruce Reynolds would do anything for Nancy Christopher. Pat Logan seems to like going with a boy named Irvin. Can you imagine who Ann Murphy is swooning about? You guessed it, none other than Marshall Brooks.
