Our modern world was built through the principles of coordination. We can use the same principles to build up the Negro voting strength. I. COORDINATION: We believe that by coordinating the suffrage work of vari­ ous organizations and individuals, the Negro will have a more effective Political Action Program. This in turn will produce a large and intelli­ gent Negro vote. II. WHY SHOULD WE COORDINATE OUR EFFORTS? We should coordinate our efforts because in spite of the fine suffrage work being done by many groups and individuals in the South, we are faced with the following facts: 1. Only about 20% of the potential Negro voting population are re­ gistered voters. 2. That large numbers of Negroes qualified to vote do not show up at the polls on election day. 3. That large numbers of Negroes pay their poll taxes in states where it is required, but fail to register. I. j. That most areas lack organizational machinery to contact the masses of people for the purpose of giving out factual and unbiased infor­ mation on political candidates and issues. III. IS THIS A POLITICAL GROUP? are non-partisan. IV. NO! Our coordinating groups or organizations Their only aim is a large intelligent Negro vote. WHY NON-PARTISAN? 1. Because the N A A C P is n o n - p a r t i s a n . 2. Because for this plan to be successful, we must have the cooperation of all groups and organizations regardless of their political beliefs. 3. History has shown that many non-partisan organizations for increasing the vote folded up because they became ambitious and began playing politics, or individuals in the organization began using the organi­ zation for personal gains. V. WHAT CAN YOU DO? You can start a coordinating group in your area. How­ ever, you must first sell yourself on the coordinating group idea. Read the Richmond Story. Richmond, Virginia.

In order to carry out this responsibility, the School Board and staff have carefully studied the existing attendance areas, the effect on these areas of the projected enrollments for the next five years and the possible effects of major highway construction and other relevant factors. In providing the best instructional setting with out severe overcrowding at certain schools, and in taking into account the additional facts, these changes are b e i n g proposed. Effective w i t h the start of the next school y e a r , September 1 9 6 1 , all students who are presently in the 6t h , 7th, 0 LI? grades will be assigned to junior high schools on the basis~of the new attendance areas" Please note carefully: Unless otherwise indicated, students living on bo t h sides of the streets listed are affected by the changes. Since some streets are listed more than once, each area should be checked for y o u r residence. A n y question relating to this matter should be directed to the Research Department, J A c k s o n 2-7700, Extension 60. The School B o a r d will hold a Special Public Hearing on these changes in school attendance areas on March 14, 1961 at 8 p.m. in the Little Theatre, Washington-Lee High School, 1300 North Quincy Street, Arlington.

In order to carry out this responsibility, the School Board and staff have carefully studied the existing attendance areas, the effect on these areas of the projected enrollments for the next five years and the possible effeots of m a j o r hig h w a y construction and other relevant faotors. In providing the best instructional setting with­ out severe overcrowding at certain schools, and in taking into account the additional facts, the changes listed b e l o w are being proposed. In m a k i n g these changes the following administrative procedures will be used: (l) present llth-grade students will be permitted to remain in the high school they are now attending for the 1 2 t h grade next year; (2) all present 9th- and lOth-grade students will be assigned to a high sohool on the basis of new attendance areas. The School Board will hold a Special Public Hearing on these changes in sohool attendanoe areas on M aroh 14, 1961 at 8 p.m. in the Little Theatre, Washington-Lee High School, 1300 North Quincy Street, Arlington.

B a r b a r a M arx Since 1949, Mrs. Barbara Marx, Supervisor of the 7th District of NAACP Branches.has played a vital part in affairs for racial uplift in north­ ern Virginia. She has been Supervisor of the 7th District for about seven years and has never missed preparing for or missed a meeting. Mrs. Marx has taken a leading part in the de-segregation of schools in Arlington County, working with colored parents and children and enlisting the support of many white people toward this end. Bhe has been chairman of the Executive Committee of the Arlington Branch for many years and has served as member of the State Board of Directors for more than six years. For several years Mrs. Marx was chairman of the Political Action Commit­ tee of the State Conference. Her work in Front Royal has been outstanding in helping the people there, not only in NAACP programs but in personal relations. She was ac­ tive in the work of the Washington "Front Royal Education Fund'r which raised over £10,000. to keep the Front Royal children in school when the high school at front RoyaJ was closed to prevent de-segregation, and to continue them in school after the high school was de-segregateu. In Arlington, Mrs. Marx has been the instigator of several legal attempts to defeat the Public Assembly Law. There has been no instance of a court case in Arlington or Alexandria when M r s . Marx has failed to be present. Because of her interest many white people have become affiliated with the N a ACP. Because of the publicity attending her work, she and her family have been subjected to vicious abuse by the bigots. They have committed depredations on her property and used obscene language of the vilest sort over the telephone to her and her daughters. For reason of her devoted efforts in our behalf, some of the officero and members of the Branches in northern Virginia have planned to show her our appreciation for the work she is still doing. The Anti^efaraation "eague of B ’nai Brith has honored her on at least two occasions in New York State ana Pennsylvahia for her contributions to freedoraalthough Mrs. Marx is not a Jew. Let it not be said,That a prophet is not without honor save in his own community." To implement this purpose a committee has come together to plan for a testimonial to Mrs. Marx on the occasion of the June Meeting of the seventh district. To do something tangible, it is planned to secure subscriptions from our members and her friends and present her with a NAACP LIFE MEMBERSHIP. The following committee has assumed this task: Co.Chairmen: Mr. Tate Valentine and Mr. Louis Boone of Fairfax* Mr. W.McK.Jackson, Loudoun; Mrs. Dorothy Thomas and Mrs. Beatrice Washington of Prince Williams; Mrs. Leslie Hamm and Mrs. Beatrice Ritchie of Arlington, Mrs. Mary E.Henderson of Falls Church, Mrs. Edith Turner of Alexandria and Mrs. Kathryn Butler of Front Royal. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tos Honorable J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., Governor of Virginia and The General Assembly of Virginia For many years the bar of Virginia has been concerned with unlawful and improper practices connected with the administration of justice. The creation of the Virginia State Bar in 1938 alleviated the situation tempo rarily, but in the post-war years the problem has become more aggravated. The General Assembly of 1956 in special session created two oommitteea to investigate and report upon these matters, both of which reported to the Session of 1958. The General Assembly then directed an entirely new study by enacting Chapter 373 of the Acts of Assembly of 1958 (Code s@ 30-1(2 through 30-51). The directive imposed upon the Committee so created is as follows8 "(a) There is hereby.created a joint committee of the General Assembly to be known as the Committee on Offenses Against the Ad ministration of Justice, hereinafter sometimes referred to as Joint Committee. Such Joint Committee shall investigate and determine the extent and manner in which the laws of the Commonwealth relating to the administration of justice are being observed, administered and enforced and shall specifically direct its attention to the observance and to the methods and means of administration and enforcement of those laws, whether statutory or common law, relating to champerty, maintenance, barratry, running and capping and other offenses of any other nature relating to the promotion or support of litigation by persons who are not parties thereto. (more) �"(b) The Joint Committee is further authorized to investigate and determine the extent and manner in which the laws of the Common wealth relating to State income and other taxes are being observed by, and administered and enforced with respect to, persons, corpora tions, organizations, associations and other individuals and groups who or which seek to promote or support litigation to which they are not parties contrary to the statutes and common law pertaining to champerty, maintenance, barratry, running and capping and other of fenses of like nature." Pursuant to the Act, the Speaker of the House of Delegates appointed from the membership of the Houses P. John B. Boatwright of Buckingham, Frank Moncure of Stafford, Francis B. Gouldman of Fredericksburg, and James M. Thomson of Alexandria. The President of the Senate appointed from the membership of the Senate! Earl A. Fitzpatrick of Eoanoke, Joseph Collier . Hutcheson of Lawrenceville, and William F. Stone of Martinsville. The Committee organized and elected Ms. Boatwright Chairman and Sena tor Fitzpatrick Vice-Chairman. The staff consisted of John B. Boatwright, Jr., Secretary-Clerk, and F. W. Harkrader, Jr., Recording Secretary. W i l i a m H. King, of the Richmond City Bar was retained as counsel. The Committee met with leaders of the Virginia State Bar, Chairmen of committees thereof, and others with a view to obtaining information to assist it in its study. Investigators were employed to gather evidence concerning the activities of various groups and individuals which appeared to merit investigation. Data was obtained from a number of State officials for use in the work of the Committee. Numerous hearings were held to examine witnesses and receive documentary evidence. Although the Committee examined the activities of numerous groups of varying types, it was only the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its affiliates that sought by court proceedings to deter the functioning of the Committee. A listing of the many court ap pearances is made in the 'Appendix" filed with this report. 2 (more) �We set forth our* findings, conclusions and recommendations under sever al different headings. 1. litigation In the Federal Courts. Immediately upon the formation of the Committee, the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People (hereinafter referred to as "NAACP") and the Virginia State Conference of NAACP Branches (hereinafter referred to as “Conference") instituted a proceeding in the Federal Dis trict Court in Richmond to enjoin the Committee from investigating their activities, and seeking especially to restrain enforcement of an attachment provision (3 30-1*7) contained in the Act creating the Committee. The court ■which heard the case was composed of Judges Soper, Hoffman and Bryan.

Immediately upon the formation of the Committee, the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People (hereinafter referred to as "NAACP") and the Virginia State Conference of NAACP Branches (hereinafter referred to as "Conference") instituted a proceeding in the Federal Dis trict Court in Richmond to enjoin the Committee from investigating their activities, and seeking especially to restrain enforcement of an attachment provision (S 30-l»7) contained in the Act creating the Committee. The court which heard the case was composed of Judges Soper, Hoffman and Bryan. After hearing argument, the Court entered an order to the following effects "This cause came on for hearing upon the defendants' motion to dismiss and their answer to the plaintiff's complaint, and it was shown to the court that interrogatories propounded by the defendants were issued out of the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond on Sep tember 8, 1?58, and thereafter served upon the plaintiff! that there after on September 17, 1958, the defendants and plaintiff agreed that a portion o.f the interrogatories designated by certain markings, a copy of the interrogatories with such markings having been filed in the record in this cause, need not be answered by the plaintiffs until & final determination of the issues raised hereinj this cause was there upon argued by counsel.

Re commendation 8 That proceedings be commenced to modify this order of the Federal Court. Reasons Oliver W. Hill is chairman of the legal staff of the Conference, which staff consists of approximately 15 lawyers practicing in this Common wealth. Witnesses before committees of the General Assembly and in Federal Court have testified that Hill and associates often have taken legal steps, purportedly acting as lawyers for the witnesses, but without their know ledge or consent. This conduct is clearly reprehensible, serving to promote litigation in the names of ostensible, but not real, parties.

Further, should such restrictive holding be permitted to stand, it could well serve as a precedent to be later followed in crippling the powers of in vestigation of all legislative committees, both State and Federal. 2. Solicitation of Business by Lawyers. Persons employed by the Committee investigated a number of complaints which reached us concerning the solicitation of business b y lawyers. of these were in the field of personal injury cases. Most Evidence of such mal practice is difficult to obtain as witnesses are customarily hushed-up on the lawyer learning that his activities are under scrutiny. Also, it appears that some members of the bar, although knowing of instances of wrongdoing by their fellow lawyers, fail to report such wrongdoing to disciplinary authority because of an unwillingness to assume responsibility for the resulting punishment. Despite this, incriminating evidence of malpractice has been gathered by the Committee and turned over to the appropriate dis ciplinary committees of the Virginia State Bar. Recommendations Virginia State Bar should stress to its members their duty or reporting each instance of unprofessional conduct. Reasons Not only does unprofessional conduct by a lawyer reflect upon the bar generally, but often results in great harm to the client. It is only by the cooperation of lawyers that such harm can be lessened. 3. Collection Agencies» A statute of Virginia prohibits the use of papers simulating court doc uments in the collection of debts. Such documents, particularly when used b y a lay agency, are not only patently deceitful, but border on the user's engaging in the unauthorized practise of law. The Committee has found cases in which collection agencies have used papers in clear violation of the sta tute. How widespread such violations are, the Committee as yet has been un f a (more) �able to determine. Recommendations Appropriate legislation should be enacted requiring all collection agencies to obtain approval from Virginia State Bar, prior to their use, of all forms of notices and other papers employed by them in the collection of debts. i . Unauthorized Practice and Unprofessional. Conduct and Committees of t the Virginia State Bar Charged with Policing such Practices.. ~~ We have been impressed by the burden incased upon the ten district committees of the Virginia State Bar, and its standing committees on legal ethics arid the unauthorised practice of law. with matters arising in these fields. Those twelve committees deal They are composed cf busy men who ars dependent upon the practice of law for a livelihood. At a time when improper practices seem to be increasing space they cannot be expected to seek out and uncover evidence of those acts, but only to consider conduct volun tarily reported by others and to then determine whether proceeding® should be brought to abate such practices. Virginia State Bar, an organisation having compulsory membership, was created in 1938 pursuant to authority granted by the General Assembly and recited in AS J 1 - * through >*19 5h-5'2 of the Code of Virginia. A reading of those statutes makes clear the intent of the General Assembly to thereby authorize the creation of an organization, the functions of which would in volve solely the prevention of the unauthorized practice of law and of pro fessional misconduct by lawyers. The Committee considers that Virginia State Bar, through the assessment of annual fees paid by its members. Is provided with more than sufficient funds to supply its district and standing commit tees with needed assistance in the form of investigators of offenses and counsel to proceed against wrongdoers. 6 Tet, this has not been done. (more) �In 1959 the Virginia State Ear sponsored a widely-acclaimed ceremony at Jamestown commemorating the advent of the common law into the new world. Doing so, however, involved the expenditure of more than $5,000. further, also in 1959 the Virginia State Bar committed itself to the expenditure of $6,250 to he applied toward a program of continuing legal education. It is the belief of the Committee that these funds could have been far better spent in strengthening the foundation of the bar by ridding it of those unethical influences which discredit all lawyers, and in bringing about the punish ment of those 1 *0 are engaged In the unauthorized practice of law. Strengthening the bar and preventing misuse of legal practice are tir ing, hard, and sometimes dirty work, but we consider this to be the clear and primary duty of Virginia State Bar rather than engaging in other functions which have little if any relation to the offenses of unauthorised practice and unprofessional conduct. such other functions may be. And this is true, regardless of how laudable The same money spent in aid of the eamities3 which oversee instances of unprofessional conduct and unauthorized prac tice would greatly benefit, not only the general public, but also those law yers from idiom such funds have bean obtained and who have every right to believe they will be properly spent. Racommendatlon8 The Virginia State Bar should, so far as may be nec essary, apply its funds in the employment of counsel and of investigators to assist its committees in preventing and punishing those guilty of unpro fessional conduct and those engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. 5. H. J. R. 50 of the 1958 General Assembly. By this resolution the Virginia State Bar was directed to determine whether facts found on investigations made by committee! of the Qeneral As sembly warranted proceedings against offenders believed guilty of the unau7 (m ore) �thcrized practice of law, and of unprofessional conduct. After due deliberation of such facts, Virginia State Bar retained A. R. Bowles, Jr. of the Richmond City Bar to bring proceedings against one Barnard M. Savage, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the MAACP, the Con ference, and the H M C P Legal Defense and Educational Pond {the latter being hereinafter referred to as MFsad®}o Such proceedings, all for injunctive relief, were brought by Virginia State Bar against these parties in the Chancery Court of the City of Richmond, in which Court the suits are now pending. Essentially, the cases involve the question of whether lay agencies may practice law. If it be found that lay agencies may not practice law in the manner in which the aforesaid groups have been conducting their affairs, all those mem bers of the bar who have been furthering the efforts of such agencies in this field should be dealt with in a msomer which will effectively deter them, and any ethers so inclined, from this activity? In the event members of the bar are found to have furthered the practice of law by lay agencies, their punish ment should be measured on the same scale as that on which their activities were conducted. 6. Legal Aid Societies. During the Special Session of the General Assembly held in 1956, legis lation was enacted to regulate the conduct of legal aid societies. then, there was no fixed restraint on such societies. Until Prevailing laxities in the observance of restraints imposed by that legislation seem to require its amendment. Recommendations The Legal Aid Society Act should be amended in ac cordance with legislation which will be drafted by the Committee and intro duced at the i960 Session. 8 (more) �•* 4 7. The Warren County and Prince Edward County School Cases. The Committee examined mary of the "plaintiffs’ in these cases „ * The great majority testified that they neither paid nor -were asked to pay any legal fees or expenses, and that their- understanding was that such payments were all to he made by the NAACP. They further testified that they had newer been consulted concerning the commencement of any school litigation or consulted as to its con duct after suit was commenced, and that they had newer known they were plain tiffs in any such litigation until that information reached them from outside sources. At this juncture we point out that, while technically there are two corpor ations— NAACP and the Fund— and one association— the Conference, they operate as one with common objectives and practices, performing in obedience to directions received from national headquarters in New York City. 8. The Floyd County School Case. The Committee conducted an investigation into how the Floyd County School case was begun. It was found that the same pattern of NAACP activity was pre sent! i.e. all counsel fees are payable by it and not by those referred to as "plaintiffs", the litigation is fully controlled by the NAACP, and certain of the apparent plaintiffs have no desire to be parties to litigation and never intended to retain counsel of record as their lawyer. Recommendations The Virginia State Bar should rule on whether counsel of record in these school cases are guilty of unprofessional conduct. 9. Code 88 $7-l*C through 57-1*7. The State Corporation Commission is making an investigation to determine if the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Fund and the Conference have complied with SS 57-1*0 through $7-1*7 of the Code. These sections require certain corporations and others soliciting contributions to keep records of such contributions. The Code further requires that such records be made avail able for inspection by the State Corporation Commission. 9 (more) �These sections, if enforced, will permit better enforcement of Cede § 58- 8 *.1, prohibiting deductions from income of contributions to persons 1 supporting litigation to which they are not parties. The State's revenue will be affected by the outcome of the proceeding before the State Corpor ation Commission. 10. Certain 1956 Special Session Statutes The 1956 Special Session enacted certain statutes on barratry, cham perty, solicitation, running and capping, maintenance and related offenses. These laws were challenged by the NAACP and its affiliates in Xitigation commenced in a Federal court. Thereafter, the proceedings were appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, which found that the issues in volved should be considered b y the courts of Virginia. Thereupon, in 1958 these groups brought an action in the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond in an attempt to have these laws declared invalid. Evidence given in that case disclosed that the plaintiffs at their own expense represented per sons who were readily able to pay for themselves, and that such plaintiffs appeared to be engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. The Circuit court of the City of Richmond held the laws valid, and the case is now pend ing on appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. 11. Farther Proceedings Against Committee. Shortly after the entry f the order referred to in Section 1 of this report, the Committee had subpoenas issued out of the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond against the NAACP, Fund and Conference. These subpoenas were countered b y a suit brought by these parties in the law and Equity Court of the City or Richmond in which they sought to enjoin the Committee from investigating them, and sought also to compel the production of the Com mittee's records. The complaint, although obscure in its phrasing, was obviously intended to serve as a means of delaying the Committee in its in- 10 (more) �vestigations. And although the complaint alleged that the Committee wished to obtain information identifying the plaintiffs' members, yet the sub poenas in question did not seek such disclosure. It might be here mentioned that Oliver W. Hill, chairman of the Legal Staff of the Conference, has stated publicly that he believes that members should make their identity know. The Committee had the suit removed to the Circuit Court of the City or Richmond where the subpoenas were outstanding. That Court sustained the Committee's motion that the complaint be dismissed, finding that it failed to state a cause of action justifying injunctive relief. This case is now pending on appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. The Com mittee must bring this case to an effective conclusion. 12. Proceedings in Hustings Court of the City of Richmond. In order to determine whether the tax laws of Virginia are being observed, and especially § S 8- 8I .I, the Committee learned from State Tax authorities 4 that, due to the magnitude of the task, information as to contributions made to groups supporting litigation to which they are not parties could only be obtained from the groups themselves. Thereupon the Committee had interroga tories issued out of the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond and directed to the HAACP, Fund and Conference for data as to contributions sought and re ceived by them. These groups moved to quash the interrogatories, and such mo tion to quash remains undecided because of the pendency of the appeal referred to in Section 11 of this report. The work of the Committee should be con tinued to obtain the requested information. CONCLUSION The Committee has many matters which require extended investigation, some of such matters having been referred to in this report. The litigation we have mentioned and the Special Session of 1959 have prevented following 11 (more) �such investigation to a conclusion. The work of the Committee needs to be pursued vigorously if pertinent statutes are to be enacted or revised and kept abreast of changing conditions so as to prevent the continuance of abuses. We consider it essential that this Committee further investigate, not only the NAACP, Fund and Conference, but also all other persons and groups whose activities constitute the unauthorized practice of law and breaches of professional ethics, and those who fail to observe the tax laws of the Common wealth.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT State legislatures have provided various methods of financing nursery schools and kindergartens. The method most frequently used is local financing through the gen eral school fund. Seventeen States provide for funds in this manner. Included are Maryland and South Da kota, which finance both nursery school and kindergarten, and Michi gan, which provides funds only for nursery schools through this source. Other States that finance kindergar ten with local funds through the gen eral school fund are Alabama, Illinois, 1 �Legal provisions governing early elementary education in the public schools of the 48 States, as of January I, (957 NURSERY S C H O O L S S TATE A u th o r ity to establish (permissive or m a n d a to ry ) Entrance ages authorized K IN D E R G A R T E N S A u th o rity to M e th o d o f establish financing 1 (permissive or m andatory) 2 1 4 3 ’ Entrance ages authorized 5 A t least 5 . . . .

Four States finance with local funds but maintain the revenue as a special school fund. Included in this group are Idaho, North Carolina, and Texas, in which such a fund-raising device applies to their kindergarten programs, while in Mississippi it ap plies to both nursery and kindergar ten schools. Another method of local financing is through a combination of local school funds and fees from parents. Wisconsin makes use of this method for nursery schools, while Kentucky and Virginia use it for the kinder garten program. In addition, Okla homa and Tennessee apply this method to both nursery school and kindergarten programs. The next most widely acclaimed method of financial support is a com bination in various proportions of local funds and/or State aid. This may also include private funds. Twelve States make use of this com bination. One group includes Flor ida, New Jersey, and New York, w-hich provide funds for both nursery schools and kindergartens, and another group includes Massachusetts and Washington, which provide funds for nursery schools only. Seven addi tional States providing funds for kindergarten in this manner are Ari zona, Iowa, Louisiana, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. State aid is the means of support in nine States in the same manner as other State aid is distributed. In this manner, Indiana provides for both nursery schools and kindergar tens. Other States which finance kindergartens in a similar manner are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and West Virginia. Minne sota and Nevada apply a per pupil formula for determining State aid for kindergarten support. Illinois and Oregon provide funds for nursery schools by privately fi nanced fees and contributions. TEACHER CERTIFIC ATIO N In general, States have enacted legislation providing for higher aca demic standards for certification. Thirteen States now make a college degree prerequisite to any perma nent type of certificate. These are California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Minne sota, New Hampshire, New' Jersey, New York, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. A more significant trend, how'ever. points toward a greater degree of specialization, embracing a combina tion of subjects applicable to nursery school, kindergarten, and early ele mentary grades. Thirteen States issue a special cer tificate for kindergarten. They are Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kan sas, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. Four States issue a special certifi cate covering a combination of nurs ery school and kindergarten subject matter. They are Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, and Ohio. Eight States certify teachers to teach a combination of subject mat ter including nursery school, kinder garten, and early primary grade sub jects. They are Arizona, California, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Seven States issue a general cer tificate w'ith specialization in early primary education. They are New Hampshire, New' Jersey, New York, Ohio, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming. Thirteen .States require only a gen eral elementary certificate for teach ing in nursery school and kinder garten. STATE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP Recent legislative actions enable State departments of education to as sume a greater amount of leadership in providing curriculum guides, es tablishing more uniform standards, and authorizing general supervision to localities. Thirty-two States now have statutory provisions that enable their State departments of education to assume this more responsible role. In consulting the accompanying table for information on increased responsibilities of State departments of education, the reader may find in the column on teacher certification in formation which has implications for State department leadership.
