Civic Leaders
Meet With
School Heads
Thirteen representatives of
the city's schools and the clubs
of Sweetwater met in an infor-
mal discussion of the state’s
school problems this morning at
7:30 in El Patio.
Miss Jeanette Wade, a strong
proponent of the proposal of
Gov. Benuford Jester's recom-
mendation to raise the pay of
schools to a $2,000 minimum,
pointed out that the efforts of
the teachers of the state were di-
rected toward the problem of
raising the standards of teach-
ing to those of other states.
In a mimeographed "handout”
to the guests, the Sweetwater”
Classroom Teachers Association j
said, "Sweetwater teachers ap-
preciate the fact they are in the
upper 5 percent salary bracket!
in the state of Texas because
citizens of this community have
backed the school board . . ”
Representatives of the city’s
different schools pointed out the!
inequality in Texas' methods of
text hook selections. They stress-
ed the fact that the books are se-
lected by a committee without I
thought to the problem which j
the child might be faced. The
single choice of text books ap-
plies to all grades from the eigh-!
tii down.
They recommended a system
whereby the teachers might have
some voice in the subject of se-
lection of books.
