Arch A. Moore Jr. thinks- it is time to start paying more money to the better classroom teachers, to keep them in the clossroom and not moving into school administration for more money. "I believe the time has come when we must face up to the hard task of making judgments about competence in teaching and properly rewarding those who consistently display such competence," Moore told 400 educators at the State Superintendent's Annual Conference at Jackson's Mill Tuesday night. As it is now, Moore said, the system dictates that to earn more income, teachers leave the classroom and go into school administrative work.

Suggesting incentive pay to top teachers, Moorer-challenged the educators to take his suggestion and improve upon it.

tion. In all categories, Moore urged the educators not to be afraid of breaking tradition to meet real needs. "I am especially happy to see that the guidelines call for programs which deal with all the needs of the child--not just his academic progress," Moore said, stressing that county superintendents are allowed "a great deal of flexibility to build programs" to meet the needs of all children. The governor emphasized the program is not limited to five- year-olds. "There is no bottom age limit in it," Moore said.

"You can even serve infants." Within two years or less, all 30,000 five-year-olds will be in an education program in West Virginia, Moore said, "and, hopefully, a large seg- grandchildren. James R.
