Monday, March 14, I960 A MAIL TRIBUNE. Mtdford, Or. 3 Largest Increase in School (Budget Ds For Dnsf rucf Son (Editor's nole: This is the second in a series of articles reviewing Ihe proposed $3. 914.846.99 general fund budget for School District 549C. An election on the budget will be held May 2 at seven polling places in the district. Today's article concerns the budget for in struction, including a re view of the new salary scale for teachers of the district) The largest expenditure listed in the Medford school disrict's proposed budget for 1960-61 is for instruction. Of the estimated $3,914, 846.99 expenditures next school year, $2,628,476 will go for instructional purposes, an increase of $298,133.18 over the present year's costs. The largest increase in the proposed budget is for teach ers $191,890, which also in cludes $72,800 for 14 addi tional classroom teachers in the system. Of the $191,890 increase for teachers, $136,890 of that is for classroom teachers, with the remainder going to teach ers who are assigned addi tional repsonsibilities other than teaching such as coaches, supervisors and special educa tion instructors. From New Schedule The classroom teachers sal ary increase resulted from a new schedule adopted by the budget committee and ap proved by the teachers. The schedule is one which was re vised from one submitted by the teachers. The new salary schedule in cludes a ratio formula, based on an increase of 5 per cent of the base figure. The base figure is $4,200, the beginning salary for a teacher with a bachelor's degree. That is $200 more than the present starting salary for a teacher with a bachelor's. The ratio formula increases 5 per cent for five-year teach er's starting salary, or $4,410, and the teacher with a mas ter's degree receives $4,620, or 5 per cent of the five-year teacher's starting pay. The formula provides for 5 per cent increases annually to a maximum of $6,300 for a teacher with a bachelor's degree after 10 years teach ing. The maximum a five-year teacher can receive is $6,720 in 11 years of teaching, and the maximum for a teacher with a master's degree is $7, 140 in 12 years. Increase in Salaries The new schedule provides for increases in starting sal aries for five-year and mas ter's degree teachers as well as for bachelor's.

The new teachers' salary schedule provides for the three-year teacher, although the three-year teacher's sched ule is not included in the ratio formula. The beginning salary for the three-year teacher remains at $3,630, but provision is made for $200 increases over a 10-year per iod to a maximum salary of $5,630. The three-year teacher is one who has three or more years of college work in prep aration for teaching, but who does not have a bachelor's degree. The new salary sched ule gives the three-year teach er greater financial recogni tion, which the school admin istration and budget commit tee believes equitable in the Medford system. The five-year teacher is one who has at least 45 hours of graduate work in addition to a bachelor's degree. Considers Increased Costs The new schedule was adopted after consideration by the budget committee of a schedule submitted by the teachers. The one adopted considers increased cost of liv ing and includes an improve ment toward a desirable pro fessional salary, according to Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield, su perintendent. The adopted schedule pro vides for a greater maximum salary over a longer period of time than the schedule pro posed by the teachers, al though the beginning salaries in most cases are less than the teachers proposal. The teachers suggested a ratio for mula based on 6 per cent of a base of $4,200 for a teacher with a bachelor's degree. Adoption of the new salary schedule will bring the Med ford district to a more com parable position with the 18 largest districts in the state. The total teachers' salaries next school year will be $2, 085,553, including the amount above the salary schedule for extra duties and responsibili ties performed by teachers. Increases also are shown for principals; supervisors, consultants, and directors; and other instructional staff. But the total budgeted for each is difficult to compare to this year's budget because some of the salary was previously car ried in other places in the budget. Principals' Budgets A total of $150,229 is bud geted for the district's 17 principals, compared to $133, 947 in this year's budget. Su pervisors, consultants and di rectors have been budgeted $70,919, an increase of about $26,783 over the $44,136 list ing for this group this year. The supervisors, consultants and directors budget also in cludes a prorated portion of salaries for Dr. Mayfield and Elliott Becken, " assistant su perintendent. Some $73,286 is allocated for other instructional staff. It includes textbook library staff and extra summer help, library salaries, half the sal ary for elementary secretar ies, counselor salaries, offici als for elementary athletic games, the Saturday's recrea tion program and the Jackson ville summer baseball pro gram. The budget shows $51, 420 allocated for these serv ices during the present fiscal year. Budgeted for secretarial and clerical assistants is $43,393, which includes half the salary for elementary secretaries, high school and junior high school secretaries and other clerical work. Some $31,590 is listed in this category this year. Teaching supplies are esti mated to cost $98,960, com pared to $90,177.82 this year, This includes expenditures for all supplies which are actual ly consumed in the teaching process, including freight and cartage on them, Dr. Mayfield noted. Supplies Noted Among the supplies are workbooks, art supplies, bi ology specimens, chemical supplies, typewriter ribbons, flannel boards, psychological and educational testing ma terials, charts, duplicating supplies for use in the system, and paper, and supplementary teaching aids. Textbooks furnished free or furnished free to certain grades or special classes in the system are estimated to cost $57,866, an increase on the budget of about $10,809. This includes textbook repairs and freight and cartage on the books. Some $30,125 is budgeted for library books, periodicals and audiovisual aids, com pared to $23,957 in the pres ent year. This includes expen ditures for regular or inci dental purchases of school li brary books available for general use by students, in cluding reference books. Au diovisual aids funds do not include equipment, but do in clude rental charges on films and such materials. Diplomas, courses of study, postage, workshop and in service training, laundry, rent al of test scoring machine, car allowances, and prorated ex pense allowances for admin istrators is expected to cost an estimated $18,025. Some $14,395 Is listed for some of these expenses during the cur rent year. All of the mentioned items show increases on the new budget form, but some of the funds were listed in various places throughout the budget arrangements used this year and an equitable comparison is difficult to determine, bud get members noted. Lenten Season Declared To Be Training Time for Christian By Ri. Rev. Patrick J. O'Con nor Pastor, St. Thomas More Catholic Church, Decatur, Ga. Written for UPI Man seeks maturity. So ciety demands it. Society de mands that men learn to con trol his appetite and curb and direct his desires. Ma turity in the Christian con cept is just this, the con trolling of one's appetites and the curbing and di recting of one's desires. So ciety condemns the individual and shuns and even incarcer ates him, the man who can not control himself;, the man who yields to unbridled temp er; the man who is the slave of drink; the man who is the plaything of every passing passion. Society shuns such a man. Christianity calls hiih what he is, a sinner. There is no easy way to the mastry of one's self. Every man knows the struggle be tween what he is and what he hopes to be. St Paul states, "I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind and captivat ing me in the law of sin that is in my members" (Romans 7:23). Detective as Phony As Counterfeit Bill Midland, Mich.-A man pos ing as a detective accused Mrs. Thomas Parker's hus band of being a counterfeiter suspect and offered to test a S5 bill to show her the dif ference from counterfeit bills, she told police. But the "detective" turned out to be as counterfeit as the fake bills he had shown her, she said. He never came back with the money. Over 100 million people, 82 per cent of all people 12 years of age or over, read a news paper on an average day. ine season of J-.ent is a training time for the Chris tian. It is a time when by self denial and prayer the Chris tian strives to establish con trol over himself and draw closer to almighty God. Mindful of the sufferings of the God-man, Jesus Christ, we endeavor during the Lenten period to walk in his foot steps; to suffer a little, be cause he suffered much. Christ came not only to re deem men but to show man how to live. His life on earth is a pattern for daily living. Following in his path man can reach real maturity.
