Public Opinion Survey Finds Teachers Tops; Marking Hit In Central District 4: BELLPORT—The Citi- zens ' Council of Central School District 4 has com- pleted its tabulations and anal ysis on the public opin- ion survey recentl y conduct- ed in the district . Over 3, 000 questionnaires were mailed to residents of the district in April. The purpose of this question- naire svas to determine the public attitude on many important ques- tions relating to the operation of the schools. There were 30 ques- tions covering such fields as the recent hi gh school site vote , trans- portation , marking system , etc. The council svas p leased to find a favorable response to its ques- tionnaire regarding the quality of teaching. About 70 per cent found the teachers to be between aver- age and superior , while only two per cent found them poor. Almost as impressis r e svas the support shosvn for the subjects and the manner in wheh they are taught. The only part of the educational program failing to win approval svas the marking system , nosv based on teacher evaluation of the pup il. Strong support svas given to the traditional numerical mark- ing system. Throughout the replies a strong feeling manifested itself against high taxes. This feeling svas shar- ed equall y b y all areas of the dis- trict. Nowhere was this more evi- dent than in the rep lies regarding the defeated vote on the proposed high school site. It is to be as- sumed the recent budget defeat confirms the above conclusion. On the question regarding bus transportation , . " >0 per cent favored keeping it the same , 32 per cent favored an increase and 18 per cent favored decreasing transpor- tation. The question regarding double sessions evoked the largest re- sponse of any. While a majority opposed double sessions , an appre- ciable percentage felt the quality of education would not be affected by double sessions. The council thanked all those who returned questionnaires and especially those svhose extra com- ments did so much to make their answers more meaning ful. The comp lete results of the survey are being made available to the School Board for its study. These results svill also be used as a basis for further action by the Citizens ' Council.

Mrs. W. Dorsey Smith has svork- ed svith the sixth grade girls on the player badge and the product of enthusiasm and effort provided the afternoon ' s entertainment in the form of a play entitled "Mid- night Crossing " by John Murra y a delightful one-act murder mys- tery solution. The girls ' poise pro- jection and impersonation , the cos- tumes and scenery all revealed hours of painstaking preparation. The performance svas much enjoy- ed by the girls , their leaders and invited guests. Many years ago the founder of Girl Scouting in America , Juliette Low , said that the wearing of a proficiency badge indicates that a girl has done something often enough and ss r ell enough so that she is prepared to give service in that field and no girl should ac- cept or svear such a badge unless she is ready and willing to do so. When 10 proficiency badges have been earned , four or five of which are in one field of interest , and ability to do advanced work in four fields has been demonstrated a Second Class scout is prepared for her first class rank.

Public Opinion Survey FindsTeachers Tops; Marking Hit

In Central District 4:

BELLPORT—The Citi-zens' C o u n c i l of CentralSchool District 4 has com-pleted its tabulations andanalysis on the public opin-ion survey recently conduct-ed in t h e district . Over3,000 questionnaires weremailed to residents of thedistrict in April.

The purpose of this question-naire svas to determine the publicattitude on many important ques-tions relating to the operation ofthe schools. There were 30 ques-tions covering such fields as therecent hi gh school site vote , trans-portation , marking system, etc.

The council svas pleased to finda favorable response to its ques-tionnaire regarding the quality ofteaching. About 70 per cent foundthe teachers to be between aver-age and superior , while only twoper cent found them poor. Almostas impressisre svas the supportshosvn for the subjects and themanner in wheh they are taught.

The only part of the educationalprogram failing to win approvalsvas the marking system, nosvbased on teacher evaluation of thepup il. Strong support svas givento the traditional numerical mark-ing system.

Throughout the replies a strongfeeling manifest ed itself againsthigh taxes. This feeling svas shar-ed equall y by all areas of the dis-trict. Nowhere was this more evi-dent than in the replies regardingthe defeated vote on the proposedhigh school site. It is to be as-sumed the recent budget defeatconfirms the above conclusion.

On the question regarding bustransportation , .">0 per cent favoredkeeping it the same , 32 per centfavored an increase and 18 percent favored decreasing transpor-tation.

The question regarding doublesessions evoked the largest re-sponse of any. While a majorityopposed double sessions , an appre-ciable percentage felt the qualityof education would not be affectedby double sessions.

The council thanked all thosewho returned questionnaires andespecially those svhose extra com-ments did so much to make theiranswers more meaning ful. Thecomplete results of the survey arebeing made available to theSchool Board for its study. Theseresults svill also be used as a basisfor further action by the Citizens'Council.
