made on school systems by the need for both liberal arts and vocational training in many fields. A substantial building program and increased transportation facilities will, of course, be required to care for the ever-increasing number of children coming into the schools, especially in suburban areas.
Better Training Wanted
However, on the whole the commission feels that the quality of teaching is of primary importance, and that provision for better teacher-training must be made. The central aim of professional educators in Connecticut and of this citizens' group is to coordinate the school program with community living and to increase the community's awareness of its responsibility for the education of all its children as future citizens.
Dept. of Education Assists
Miss Katherine Hoctor, Supervisor of District I under Superintendent Charles Abell, explained the role of State Department of Education Officers in advising and guiding school staffs. Miss Hoctor pointed out that their positions enable such officials to keep different communities in touch with each other and to aid in solving the many problems which they have in common. The superintendents and supervisors have the responsibility of implementing the aims and policies of the State Board of Education and of making available the services of the many different agencies which can be of help to individual schools.
High School Accommodations
Mr. Thomas Richardson, Superintendent of Secondary Education in the New Haven Schools, answered questions from the group about the possible arrangements for accommodating children from outlying districts in Hillhouse and other New Haven high schools during the next decade. Because of increased enrollment, there has been some question as to whether such arrangements could be made. With the realization of the necessity for detailed and long-range planning, professional and lay groups in the area are working to establish courses of instruction which will give a well-rounded education to all children.
Mrs. Sidney Svirsky, Mrs. Malcolm H. Brinton, and Mrs. George D. Vaill, members of the Bethany Board of Education, who were in charge of the meeting, described the present setup in the Community School.
