The Daily Home News THE RARITAN VALLEY'S LEADING NEWSPAPER MIDDLESEX COUNTY COMMUNITY NEWS NEW BRUNSWICK, N. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 25, 1963. 19 "ST" TT Detailed Evaluation Report of Hoffman High Made Public South Amboy Advised to Build New High School! i Additional instruction in music, more business education equipment, replacement of "outdated" home economics equipment, more reading, vocabulary, research, writing and penmanship in English classes. More oral participation in English and foreign languages, creation of separate room for mechanical drawing, five weekly mathematics periods instead of four, a mandatory two-year mathematics requirement for college preparatory students. More Modern Equipment More updated equipment, reference materials and facilities for biology classes, more outdoor physical education activities, including intramurals, institution of a home room period, wider use of bulletin boards, periodicals and newspapers, regular counseling of and study of school drop outs.

Additional staff personnel was also strongly suggested by the committee, with the immediate hiring of a permanent school nurse, a full-time librarian and administrative secretarial help listed. However, the committee had many good things to say about the school. Course offerings got a generally good rating. Cited in almost every subject of study was the "enthusiasm of class and teacher," qualified and competent instruction, ex ment in the teachers' salary schedule to bring it in competition with neighboring school districts. Teachers, however, were rebuked for bringing their problems directly to the board, rather than dealing through Supt.

of Schools James Tustin. The lengthy report, read by Tustin and High School Principal Eugene Dobrzynski, covered every field of study offered in the school, its services, administration and faculty, and the physical plant. Cites Insufficiencies One by one, as the recommendations for improvement in most fields were read, did the committee state that instructional space, materials and teaching aids, storage and washroom facilities were insufficient. In some cases, safety was touched upon. Some instructional suggestions included: The use of more modern instructional techniques, the addition of more curricular and extra-curricular clubs, the immediate removal of study halls from the library, fewer study hall periods.

More coordination between departments of instruction, the immediate removal of teachers not adequately certified, more faculty meetings, more art periods, more audio-visual aids. By JOHN MURPHY SOUTH AMBOY The need for a new high school in this city to replace the present one was brought to light last night before the Board of Education by experts in the field of education, Made public and accepted for study by the board was a 50-page evaluation report on Hoffman High School from a visiting committee of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Submitting the report, findings of which were based on the February inspection and tour of the school by the committee, was Dr. Thomas C. Robinson, president of Glassboro State College.

Spell Out Advici The committee's advice that plans for an addition to the existing high school be dropped in favor of a new building was spelled out as follows: "We recommend that a study in depth be initiated as to the advisability of seeking a more adequate site and structure to meet the purposes of a modern secondary school, as opposed to the addition of a wing to the present building, which with each passing year becomes more unsatisfactory for the program housed therein." Also strongly urged was a new auditorium and an adjust cellent student-teacher relationships, and small class sizes "highly conducive to effective instruction." The board and school administration were commended for their close cooperation with civic bodies in the city, as were the teachers and students for their loyalty to the school. Noted as outstanding and modern were the laboratories for physics and chemistry and the gymnasium. Robinson closed the report on highly complimentary note, which read: "Our visiting committee could not help but be impressed by the genuine hospitality shown to us by the students, staff, administration, Board of Education and citizenry. "A multitude of courtesies were shown to us. and we are exceedingly appreciative.

They could not have done more to make us feel at home. "We have left with a conviction that we have learned much, and that we have met and profited from a very fine group of people, who know and appreciate what good education means to a community." Upon concluding the report, Dobrzynski pointed out that in no way was this report meant to be construed as a ranking in comparison with other schools. Hoffman High's current enrollment is 356. I 1 b.

Also on Edison Low oh Totem Pole EDISON Edison is "low man on the totem pole" when it comes to saying what is to become of the Raritan Arsenal site. This was the Township Council's answer last night to spectator William Schadewald's question: "What has the council done so far to plan for the eventual development of about 3,000 acres of arsenal land scheduled to be vacated next year?" Schadewald claims much of the public is led to believe that the council is dragging its feet on the arsenal land and on plans for the 110 acres on the west side of Woodbridge Avenue, bought for $550,000 by the township last year.

Council President Neil A. McDonald said that the council has repeatedly "gone on record" for selling the arsenal site and placing it on the tax rolls as soon as possible. "We certainly are not going to buy it," he added He pointed out that the township must first wait to see what plans the federal, state, and county have for the tract, before "we can do anything." Plans for the site are thought to be set when suddenly another organization or agency, such as the Navy or National Guard ask for part of it, he added. Councilman Bernard Dwyer also pointed out that the tract, which is presently zoned for light and heavy industry, is subject to the township zoning code and therefore to township control of its development. Spectator Michael Germak, however, insisted that the council should be participating in arsenal disposal discussions since "it, as a body, will carry influence." Turning to the subject of the township's 110 acres, McDonald said the land has been for sale since its purchase, but that prospective buyers apparently are waiting to see how proposed construction of a turnpike exchange, adjacent to the property, will be aligned.

Both Woodbridge and Perth Amboy are arguing over its alignment In other discussion, William Godwin, director of the Public Works Department, told spectator James R. Sheldon that department plans this year call for installing permanent pavement and gutters on Meeker Street Sheldon over a period of months has objected to the township merely patching the holes in the street, which he claims doesn't last the north side of Eastside Avenue from Route 1 to Macnolia Street?
