Superintendents
U^Eiglity-one county superintend-
iri ,ts in Texas perform 85 different
Xaj rvices and activities, according-
^ a jsurvey made by Byron Bar-
'r, graduate student at A&M for
ji/e Texas Association of County
• Riperintendents.
i a Dr.l Paul Hensarling, head of the
0 j f .;partment of Education and Psy-
ology at A&M, directed the re-
^arch.
—-The county superintendents per-
~~rm i the services for 466 inde-
U indent and 233 common or rural
"£gh I school districts. In their
j a(i .unty schools they have 2,117
'eeiachers, 64 nurses, 55 counselors,
n 8 : supervisors, 36 librarians, 13
special education personnel, 52
r siting teachers and 50 other pro
personnel of various
imp!'.

Iart The 81 counties serve 44,508
j„ udefits in common and rural hig-h
llfhools-
hi n . Twenty-eight county superinten-
—nts operate transportation sys-
ms for all schools in the county,
iiile 26 serve part of the schools
II her than their own. All of them
ive some responsibility for trans
portation of school children. There
are 1,341 buses in the 81 counties.
“Although 81 represents 50 per
cent of all counties having county
superintendents,” Barber said, “it
is a good geographical sampling
because responses came from all
over Texas.”
The study describes some of the
most -effective or successful serv
ices. In addition to the regular in
struction program and the legal
responsibilities of the county su
perintendents, the most frequently
reported were guidance, counsel
ing, testing, health, in-service edu
cation for teachers, teaching aids
center, food, transportation,* busi
ness management, career days,
civil defense, adult education, and
interpretation of the school pro
grams to the public.
Publication of the data, Barber
said in his report, is not to sug
gest that any given practice should
be adopted in the county because
it was successful in another coun
ty. Many of the services reported
would need to be modified, if used
at all, under any other set of cir
cumstances.

2 High Schoolers
Studying Physics
Two high school juniors from
widely-separated Texas towns —
Odessa and Dayton — are com
pleting a special six-weeks course
in physics at A&M.
Mike Bellamy, who attends Per
mian Basin High School in Odessa,
and Barry Faulkener, a Dayton
High School student, have been
studying physical sciences a^ A&M
under a special National Science
Foundation program for 31 high-
achieving students on campus this
summer.
For five hours a day, they study
courses in physical sciences. The
remainder of the day is spent
learning about research on meth
ods of producing oil under the di
rection of the Texas Petroleum Re
search Committee. Directing this
phase of their activity is Dr. Paul
B. Crawford, assistant director of
the research committee. He is also
a member of the A&M petroleum
engineering graduate faculty and
is a consulting engineer.
The NSF scholarship has pro
vided Bellamy and Faulkener with
tuition, books, and funds for board
and room and laboratory fees.
Mike is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Bellamy, 1502 East 1.4th,
Odessa. Bellamy is a maintenance
superintendent for El Paso Natu
