Originally, the report intended to "study the quality and quantity of teaching" and to answer the questions, "How well are teachers being trained in teaching training insti tuti'jrvs?" and "How well are they teaching the children in the schools?" PrvmisM of Raporl The report, Dr. Abrams point ed out. is based on the following sound premises: 1. Schools of North Carolina need today not so much a review of past famous history as they do a program for the future. 2. The safest, best and per haps only wise legacy we can leave our children is a good edu cation. 3. Every child born in North Carolina should have the right and equal opportunity to bur geon all that is in him. 4. A state is truly great in pro portion to the people that are ed ucated. 5. The, conclusions xeached in honest] scientific research and they represent the wishes of the people of the state, but not neces sarily the wishes of the governor of the state or any group of poli ticians. 6. The people wish to have echools for their children which will be equal to the best; 60,000 said so by a large majority. 7. Enough money can be pro vided for the following five edu cational decencies: safe, sanitary and comfortable school buildings; an adequate number of competent teachers; enough safe, well-heaf ed, comfortable school buses; an adequate supply of necessary in structional materials and equip ment; and such other services as health, guidance, art, music and recreation. 8. With a surplus of $50,000,000, with all state debts paid, "We have allowed schools to come to want in great plenty." PromiMi of Report The report made the following promises, according to Dr. Ab rams review of it: 66% of the citizens and 27% of the admin istrators thought that the teach ing load should be reduced to 30 immediately and 27 as soon as possible. A salary schedule of at least $2,400 is recommended for ten months of service for be ginning teachers and from $3,600 to $3,900 for those who have taught twelve or more years. Pay ment should be made on the first of each month regardless of the oumbcr of days taught. A date should be aet, after which, no teacher would be allowed to teach who was not properly qualified. Provisions were also made for sick leave, traveling expenses, etc. To help the laymen grasp the significance and importance of this report .radio programs and pictorial graphs are being pre pared, Dr. Abrams said, and will be promoted through the schools. Complete copies of the report are being sont to the unit presidents throughout the state and to sup erintendents and other key lead ers. "Hamlet" To Be Given By Barter Appalachian State Teachers! Teachers college will sponsor the] major presentation of its 1948 49 lyceum series on the night of! January 3, when the Barter The atre of Virginia presents William Shakespeare's "Hamlet." The lead will be played by Ro bert Breen, who is also directing. One of the youngest actors ever to play Hamlet, Breen played the Inas appeared in, or directed, nine ty different productions in his lifetime. In 1937 he was engag ed by John Barrymore to direct Barrymore's proposed Hollywood Bowl revital of "Hamlet." He directed the original "G. I. Ham let," a presentation for army per sonnel which toured the country during the war. This is the 200th production of the Barter Theatre, which is in its sixteenth year of existence, and now on national tour. Found er and director Robert Porter field says that it has been their custom to produce at least one of Shakespeare's classics each year, and since 1946 they have played Shakespeare from Penn sylvania to Florida. In two full trouping seasons, the Barter Playei^ have performed Shakes peare in almost 100 cities outside the state of Virginia, and approx imately half as many within the Commonwealth itself. The Bar ter Theatre is the official theatre of the Commonwealth of Vir ginia, the first state-aided theatre in America. In the two years of [its existence as a year-around theatre, Barter has amassed an impressive group of people, a dis tance of 78,610 miles in 22 states. This will be the Barter Play ers' second appearance at Appala chian. They came last year for a presentation of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night" and played to a capacity audience of approxi mately nine hundred. Three Big Auction Sales FREE ? CASH PRIZES ?
