Superintendents institute accelerated instruction The modern, functional appearance of the green and white building at l426 North Quincy Street reflects the philosophy of Arlington County's school superintendents, whose offices are within. Constantly investigating new educational equipment and procedures, Dr. Glenn Hass. associate superintendent in charge of instruction, insures an up-to-date program in every field. Dr. Charles Walsh, assistant superintendent in charge of personnel, hires each school board employee. With frequent conferences, he is able to advise employees concerning special problems and to insure highest quality teachers. Dr. Edward Braun, assistant superintendent in charge of finances, and his assistants conduct the research necessary to compile the annual school budget, which is sent to the school board, and evaluate the cost of new programs. Dr. T. Edward Rutter, superintendent of schools, is the link to the state board of education and the county school board. Dr. Rutter, an advocate of democratic adminis- tration, conducts most important matters in a committee composed of the superintendents. The efficiency and quality of this system is exemplified in the newly instituted programs of accelerated math, which progresses to calculus in high school, and the acceler- ated courses in algebra, physics, chemistry, and English.
