University Women Suggest School Board Appointees; Report on Survey Members of the Beaufort-More-^ head braneli of the American As sociation of University Woman heard a report Monday night on a recent survey of personnel com promising COUNTY BOARDS OF EDUCATION in 'North Carolina. The report was given by Mrs. John Reintjes, elementary and sec ondary education chairman. The report is summarized as follows: “A questionnaire was sent out inquiring how many members each county education board had, how long each member had served, length of the term, and how many members had children attending public schools. “At the time of the report, 90 of North Carolina's one hundred j counties had replied. Results were j particularly gratifying, not only be cause of the exceptionally high per centage of response, but because ! of the comments and additional in-1 formation volunteered by those filling out the questionnaires. “Of the 406 members reported, j 72 per cent had served 10 years or less and 86 per cent had served less than 15 years. Only nine mem bers, representing about 2 per cent had been on a school board over 25 years, and less than 1 per cent of the members had served 35 years or more. One member of the Carteret County school board has served five years, three members have served seven years and one member has served 35 years. “Only three of the counties poll ed had no members with school-age children. Sixty-three counties re ported half or more of their mem bers were parents of school age children. Thirteen counties have school boards in which every mem ber has a child currently attend ing public school. Three of Car teret County’s five board members have school-age children. “A majority of the counties (67 per cent) have a five-member board, as does Carteret county. The range was from three to twelve members. “Terms of office varied from two to six years. Thirty-four cbun ties specified two-year terms, 17 had four-year terms and 37 had six-year terms, as does Carteret county. Two of the counties had no set terrnk.” A discussion followed the report. There was general agfeemertt With the statement volunteered by one superintendent, “ ... It is my candid and considered opinion that having children in school is de sirable, but under no circumstances should it be made a definite re quirement . . However, it was brought out that parents of school children are more frequently and urgently re minded of conditions such as crowded, improperly heated class rooms and underpaid, overburden ed teachers. It was felt Carteret county is to be commended on the high aca demic level it has been able to maintain, in spite of the teachers’ low salary scale, and in many cases, undesirable working condi tions. It was pointed out that many of the teachers continued teaching only because there were other sources of family income, and they were not solely dependent on their own salaries.
