IMPROVED SCHOOLS PROGRAM OUTLINED Buperintendent of Prince Georges County Tells of Extensive Betterment Plan. Bpecial Dispateh to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., April 19.—A program for school progress in Prince Georges county was outlined vester- day by Prof. Nicholas Orem, county euperintendent of schools, tn a con- ference with the committee on applied | education of the Prince Georges County Federation of Women's Clubs, ot which Mrs. H. B. Mayhew is chair- man. Procuring of a 100 per cent trained teuching corps is one of the principal objectives, Prof. Orem sald. At pres- ent about 60 per cent of the teachers hold a first-grade certificate, and it appears now that all vacancies next be filled with teachers hold- ate, it was stated. Hope to Cut Turnover. Reduction of high turnover in the teaching corps is another important objective, said Prof. Orem. He urged the women to do all they could to interest the young men and women of the Prince Georges county high schools to take up teaching as a pro- fession. Prof. Orem expressed him- self heartily in favor of home teach- ers for schools. In connection with the campalgn to tmprove the physical state of property and equipment, Prof. Orem stated that schools had been renovated during the past year. Increased sup- ply of text and supplementary books and materials of instruction consti- a real necd, it was announced. A total of 30,203 text books have becn bought during the current vear, Prof. Orem stated. Reduction of retarda- tion and climination of pupils is sought, satd Prof. Orem, in stating that the county has too many children over age for their grades. More High Schools. Among other objectives of the school authorities is the establish- ment of more third-group achools as rapldly as funds will per- mit, with the ultimate aim that every child in the county may have an op- portunity to attend at least a two- year high school and live at home. Extensior of consolidation will be pushed as rapidly as roads and funds Wwill permit, it was sald. Two new bus lines for carrylng puplls to consoli- dated schools have been established this year, sald Prof. Orem. Increased Supervision. Increased supervision will be given the chools. The county now has a rural school supervisor and soon will appoint a grade supervisor for work in the elementary schools suburban to_the District of Columbia. It is purposed to establish, when funds permit, junior high school eighth-grade work in two and more teucher rural schools, such action to be taken after the present seven- &rade work has been put on a basis approximating 100 per cent efficiency and with state approval and the equalization made avallable for such work. Prof. Orem stated that an ob- jective that has practicaily been ac- complished is the putting of the schools on a cash basls.
