Educational officials need a "hot foot" to urge them into action to relieve over-crowded elementary schools, Robert H. Anderson, lecturer in Education, said yesterday.
As chairman of a commission to study school crowding for the National Education Association, he reported that high schools "still are in pretty good shape." Anderson, who is also director of the University's Elementary School Apprentice Teaching, called the elementary school system "badly over-crowded."
"Appalled" by obsolete building code requirements, Anderson cited one in Massachusetts requiring one washroom to every 10 or 11 pupils, whereas sanitation officials deem one for every 30 more than adequate.
