Robert Ryan (fourth from right) and Marie Spottswood (left), director, join coffee conference to
discuss operation of Oakwood School, the institution Ryan helped found in the San Fernando Valley.
'A "FILM HERO
(Continued)
body all but convinced him and other
founders to scrap the project.
The day before Bob's scheduled return
to the West Coast, one of the parents told
him of a rumor that Marie Spottswood,
director of a school in New York, was
about to quit after 21 years.
Knowing she was considered one of the
top educators in the country, Bob scoffed
at the idea of even approaching her. "She'd
just laugh at me!" he replied.
"So what do you have to lose?" the per
sistent mother replied.
"Nothing," admitted Bob, who was con
vinced that unless a miracle happened soon
the school would have to close anyway.
Postponing his return, he went to see -Miss
Spottswood. He didn't beat around
the bush, either.
"How. would you like to be head of a
school in the San Fernando Valley? Be
fore you answer, let me tell you we don't
pay much, we have an inadequate staff, and
I doubt we can go on much longer. Are you
interested?"
"Tell me more," she replied.
"More? What else do you want to know?"
"How and why the school was started,
how much you can pay, and just how many
. students there are."
After Bob had answered these and more
questions, she still had a Anal inquiry.
"To whom am I responsible?"
"You mean you want to be boss?"
"That's the idea," she agreed.
"The place is all yours," he assured her.
"I promise you, no one will interfere."
Bob even suggested she come out and
take a look at the school herself, with a
return ticket provided if she didn't want
to stay. Like Caesar, she came, she saw, and
she conquered.
Miss Spottswood's first move was to
turn away all children who were un
able to meet the new academic standards
she set for the school and the standards
grew till the Oakwood School is now con
sidered one of the best, scholastically, in
the West. She gradually replaced most of
Family Weekly, August 7, 1960
the teachers and hired new ones.
"The people she hired had to be idealists,
to work for what we could pay and still
have the qualities Miss Spottswood de
mands," Bob reports. "Not all the teachers
worked full time."
Miss Spottswood didn't become discour
aged when, thanks to her rigid standards
and strict discipline, enrollment fell so low
again it. seemed the school would have to
close. But it picked up quickly once her
approach a combination of progressive and
traditional education which she simply
describes as "modern" started paying
dividends.
How the school's reputation grew was
evident from the number of teachers
from all over California who came to ob
serve it.
Three new buildings had to be added to
accommodate the 90 students. As before,
the school starts at kindergarten and goes
through the sixth grade. However, stand
ards have now risen so high that two out
of three flunk the entrance ' examinations.
What's the ultimate plan for the school,
and Bob Ryan's participation in particular?
"Timothy and Cheney are in high school
now, but my youngest Lisa, 8 still at
tends Oakwood. But even when she grad
uates, I feel that after eight years of
hard work I'm too interested in the project
to give it up, ever," Bob explains.
"As for the school, we have two ultimate
goals: to establish a good school for no more
than 125 exceptional students. This may not
seem like much considering the 750,000
people now living in the San Fernando
Valley. Yet we feel if even 50 out of the
125 really turn out to be exceptional, we'll
have done a great service to our community.
"Also, we hope the school will serve as
a teachers' training ground. So, you see,
we have plenty to work for in the future,
regardless whose children we teach."
An idealist's point of view? Certainly.
But without it the Oakwood School
wouldn't exist Chances are it never would
have been born.
