Money Drive Will Aid New Teacher Plan

A portion of the funds raised in the six million dollar campaign of the School of Education will be used to cover costs of the new cooperative teacher training program, Dean Francis Keppel '38 disclosed yesterday.

The new source will relieve the deficit between anticipated expenses and the financial backing already received. The Ford Foundation's fund for the Advancement of education has contributed $150,000 for the experiment and the suburban Boston public schools involved have agreed to pay the trainees $1,350 a semester for their services.

The unique plan, the first of its kind in the United states, allows specially selected students would not have covered the costs. the plan now will be financially solvent for three years," Keppel said.

Plan Part of Original Purpose

The training program is not a deviation from the original purpose of the six million dollar drive, Keppel indicated. "It is a natural development in our plan to expand and improve the school," he said.

The need for additional professors and a new building prompted the financial campaign two years ago. The first sixth of the proceeds of the drive will now be partially expended for the new training program.
