By the Associated Press, In 12 States the number of school board members is greater than the num- ber of teachers. r the United States as & whole, there is approximately one board member to every two teachers. These figures were given today by the Federal Office of Education after investi- gation of school administration units | throughout the country. Outnumber Teachers. The 12 States where board members outnumber teachers are Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Bouth Dakota and Wisconsin. In round humbers there are 127,000 school administ:aglve units in the States. Control of educational affairs in these units is vested in approximately 424,000 members of the boards of education or school trustees. These 424,000 elect teachers for 839,879 positions—approxi- mately one board member to every two teachers. In each of nine Btates there are more than 20,000 school board mem- bers. 'These are Illinois, Towa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras- ka, Texas and Wisconsin. ‘The high number of administrative units in schools throughout the United Btates has been the subject of attack by educational conclaves for several years, and particular opposition to them has been voiced during the past 18 months. The annual convention of the department of superintendence of the National Education Association here last year attacked the system as con- trary to good economics. In Rural Communities, It has been explained at the Office of Education that many of the instances of more school board members than teachers arise from the situations in rural communities, where a board of a dozen farmers sits to control the affairs of its local school, which is & one- rootn, one-teacher affair. In Washington a school board of nine members controls a system in which there are more than 2,900 teachers.
