According to a report by Mr. Washburn, last year, Mrs. Relyea was unable to cope with three boys in her third grade. They were sent to the principal, removed from the classroom and isolated for several days at a time. \Finally Mrs. Rel- yea refused to have . . . (the three boys) in her classroom. I taught these boys for the remainder of the year. (X boy) has been with a dif- ferent teacher this year. He is a changed boy. He is not a disci pline problem and is achieving schol- astically. (Y boy) has not been sent from his classroom.. He has not had to be reprimanded by me for his behavior. - (Z boy) is no prob- lem. He is working up to capacity. This year Mrs. Relyea had a class with no severe problem children . . . (but) the class as a whole, in my opinion, has retrogressed in their be- havior, both in the classroom and on the playground, in the corridors and in the cafeteria.\ , It was noticed retrogression or a of children after they had been in her class. It was a cause of con- cern that the children had not de- veloped to capacity and some had become behavior problems. \Children are noisy and unruly in halls and cafeteria. \(Mrs. Relyea) ignores fighting upon playground when on play- ground supervision.\ s Teachers in the Guilderland Cen- tral school's are rated periodically on many different phases of teaching. A teacher must meet the needs of her pupils, and is rated Outstanding, Above Average, Average, Below Av- erage, and Poor in over 30 different categories. In a total of nine eval- uations Mrs. Relyea was rated \Av- erage\ in three ratings., and \Below Average\ in six. On the Merit Rating schedule, teachers rate them- selves and then compare their rating with that of the building principal. rMs. Relyea's own score -placed her in thg ' f I?efow Average\ rating. In Janjiary of 195,6, Mr. Washburn, in not recpmrriending rier for tenpre, stated, ''I feel only above average teapheW should be put on tenure in order to strengthen teaching effi- ciency.\ Guilderland Central schools have, on the Whole, been extremely proud of their teaching staffs. The board and the administration have spent many hours interviewing candidates for positions, and have endeayored to procure' the best teachers possible for the\ children in pur district.

Census To Collect Facts On 'Second' Jobs In Area Special questions, designed to pro- vide information on the number of persons who have more than one job, jwil) be asked in the July current pop- ulation .survey, according to Super- visor George DiCola of the Census Bureau's district office at Hartford, ,Conn.. which will participate- in the -.un.-ey. Similar questions asked in the cur- r eni population survey six years ago cu-aled that approximately three per cent, or 1.8 million of the 61 mil- lion persons employed in July 1950, held more tiian one job. Employ- ment on more than one job was rela- tively more frequent in agriculture than m nonagricultural industries wit|. nearly nine per cent of all per- sons working on farms having another job, while only three per cent of persons in nonagricultural industries held more than one job at the same time, in most cases the secondary job was in a different line of work fiom tht- primary job. TIH- special questions on secondary jobs vvill be in addition to the regular monthly inquiries on employment and unemployment. Current population survey information will be collected locally by Mrs. Janet C. Warner and Mis. Isabelle Chambers of Albany.

Refunding Taxes Costly For State Governor Harriman's last-minute tax reduction bill will cost the state $100,000, in addition to the $50,000 already spent, to make refunds to taxpayers who filed returns before the measure went into effect. The Governor signed a $40 million \reduction bill 10 days before the Apr. 16 deadline for filing returns after, thousands had sent in their taxes. Comptroller Levitt has set up a special unit of 20 temporary clerks to'.complete auditing and paying ap-> proximately 850,000 refunds. Sg J\*\- Marion G.

Y. her dismissal arid retired as of this June, 1956. In June, 1955, she show ed -Mr. Washburn a letter of resigna- tion which she planned to send to the president of the Board of Educa- tion. According to ..Mr. Washburn's report, \she remarked that she knew she would never get tenure and that she was resigning. After a lapse of time, she told ipe that she hpd not sent the letter because she had dis- covered that she had another year left of her probationary period and felt she wanted to teach another year.\ According to New York state law, Mrs. Relyea, if granted tenure, could not be compelled to resign for seven more years, when she • was 70 years old. The board felt it was not in the best interests of the children or the taxpayers of the district, to keep a below average teacher on the payroll for another seven years. Since so much has been said about the fact that Mrs. Relyea is 63 and a widow, the board would like to point out that we currently have on our staff three teachers over 60 Whom we would be happy to have remain in our system for the rest of their lives, for they are excellent. teachers. The board regrets that it was not possible to .grant tenure to Mrs. Rel- yea, for it is never a pleasant task to refuse a person tenure. It would have been far less painful to allow her to continue teaching in our schools, but had we done so, we would have been false to the stand- ards we have tried to maintain in our school district. «tv Rhone Pjft 2-11713 or FR 2-1005 2727 (SujIderJanjl Ave. SCHENECTADY, N.
