REDUCTION OF TEACHERS CONTEMPLATED BY BOARD Cut in Special Personnel to Begin at Once if Commit- tee Favors Action. NEW POLICY CONSIDERED Gradual reduction of the number of special teachers in the District schools, as recommended in the last Bureau of Efficiency report to Congress, will begin immediately if a change in policy now being considered by the personnel com- mittee of the Board of Education ts fa- vorably reported and acted on when that body meets Thursday. Under the new schedule, recom- mended to the board by superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou, special teachers in the music, drawing, physical training, manual arts, household arts, penmanship, elementary science, nature study and visual instruction he a ments will gradually become assistants to their various directors. They will be assigned for the help of teachers rather than for the tnstruction of pupils, as heretofore. The reductions will be effected through resignations, retirements, promotion to junior high schools and assignment to departmental teaching under the pol- icy proposed for adoption. This change will be made gradually, as the seventh and eighth grade classes of the elementary schools are transferred to the junior high schools, and as teachers become available from the normal schools qualified to teach the special subjects in the classroom The new situation growing out of the reorganization of the schools on the 6—6—3 plan, and the teacher cost of the educational programs in special subjects in both elementary and in junior high schoojs, were given by Dr Ballou as-reasons for the change. A new policy governing the organt- zation and operation of kindergartens throughout the city is also under con- sideration by the personne] committee. Under the new plan kindergartens would be formed in communities able to present the names of at least 30 pupils who would attend. Kindergartens would be discontinued when their en- roliment. fell below 25. The change provides for assignment of two teach- ers to a Kindergarten class of more than 40, and specifies that teachers are to assume greater responsibilities in the primary grades.
