Gets $4,900 Grant
For Research Work

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (SNS) Charles Garth of Birmingham, Ala. has been awarded a $4,900 grant by the Southern Education Foundation to be used for research fellowship in Educational Administration at the community level at the University of Kentucky.

A four-year program will be administered by the College of Education, according to Dr. A. D. Albright, chairman of the college's Division of Administration and School Services. Dr. Albright and Dr. Lee Coleman, part-time professor of sociology, are co-ordinating the initial planning.

Four fellowships will be awarded to persons holding a Master's degree, and preparing for administration work in educational institutions or in the community. Each recipient will receive up to $2,500 per year.

The four will work as a team on a research project concerned with the community and the role of each school administrator in the community.

The University of Kentucky program is only one phase of an overall educational administration project sponsored by the Southern Education Association. Funds also have been allocated to the University of Oklahoma, University of Texas, and George Peabody College for study on other parts of the projects.

Dr. Albright noted that "In these rapidly changing times, there is a great need for the development of leadership on the part of Educational Administrators."

One fellowship has been awarded by the college of Education, and the remaining three are expected to be granted by next September. The only recipient to date is Mr. Garth.

Mr. Garth who is majoring in Sociology and minoring in Education did undergraduate work at Morehouse College in Atlanta. He was awarded the Masters degree from Atlanta University last summer.

The Sociologist is on the UK campus this semester working toward a doctorate and preparing for the research project.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lanier P. Garth of 416 Tenth Ave., North.
