Only three counties now offer
twelve-year schooling, the report not

cry and Washington counties provide
the extra year ION a somewhat indie
pendent and unstandardized basis"
In Six Volumes
The commissions findings embrace
six volumes Of data, gathered during
the year by technical staff of teach
ing experts, on Maryland's public ele-
mentary and high schools and teach
ers' colleges. The staff was headed by
DR.. Herbert Bruner, Of Columbia Uni
versity.
"The chief need (of the Maryland
school system) as indicated both in
reports of educators of Maryland and
by investigation of the survey staff, y
the commission said, sis kind Of en-
riched educational program to enable
every pupil in Maryland to realize
still more fully the blessings of Amer
lean democracy and to be prepared in
the best possible way to meet the
present emergencies and those which
may follow"

Henry M. Warfield, commission chair
man, told the Governor that the sur

importance of the care of the phy- sicaliy handicapped in relation to national defense. MT. Partridge said:
 "work for physically handicapped boys and girls and work for national defense is much more closely related than we might at first suppose, and in more than one way. Our basic idea in caring for crippled people Is that they have their place to fill in our national scheme of life. Therefore 1t seems logical, in these days when we refer to "total war" and "total defense" that these boys and girls can and should have their place to fill in any scheme of de- fense in the modern world. Tn the past year we have seen the new type of warfare In action, whereby peop'e have been dfeated primarily by an attack on the moral fibre of the nation. War is no longer thing of the battlefield only; 1t is an assault on the very warp and woof of a nations society. This means only one thing, and that Is that if Amer lea is to be successfully defended we need now, more than ever before, the full capacities of all our people, in- cluding the physically handicapped youth of ou nation"

In Me1norialn! State Teachers Pay Tribute to Late Miss Daisy Lord
 of Waterbury.

The current issue of '"T'he Con necticut Teacher" a monthly periodical published by the Connecticut Teachers Associa- ton, pays tribute to Miss Daisy Lord in its current issue. Miss Lord died in Waterbury January 27th. The full text of the tribute is as follows:
 The classrooms of the world have lost a distinguished teacher. With the passing of Daisy Lord on January 27, the cause of edu. cation suffered a loss that will become more apparent as years go by. Her ceaseless efforts to make American education the best for all children have not been fruitless. Always of sound Judgment her counsel has reached into the highest places in the land.
 For twelve years Daisy served the Waterbury Teachers Associa. ton in a way that only its mem bers can fully realize. Her time was never her own. Long hours spent on trains, in the Legislature, In conference with influential personal friends, spelled educa- tional security for the pupils and teachers of the town that Daisy maintained "has something on everybody"
 The Classroom Teachers De- partment of the c. s. T. A. cod- dled and worried over by Daisy in the past, is today a vital, growing organization, force that Is a memorial to her immeasur. able zeal.
 The Connecticut League of Teache rs' Associations (the old Federation, existing quietly through the years, and only man. ifesting It's watch dog" quall- ties when an intruder threatened, was another of Daisy's proudest boasts.
 Daisy's work with the N. E. A. is known to all. No convention was ever complete without her. "The Lord is with us" was the password that opened the festivi- ties with 6 newer meaning. As president of the Department of Classroom Teachers, she jour- neyed across the land leaving be- hind her courage where there was Encouragement, initiative where there was apathy and Q fund of humorous stories told at her own expense.
 With innumerable tasks and worries crowding upon her day, Daisy always had time to keep her personal friends, to send flowers, books, or clippings to acouaintances from Alaska to Hawaii, Maine to Texas.
 She needs no memorial. TO those of us who knew her she will live forever. To the hordes of students to whom she gave a better education her name rep' resents life and freedom and op. portrmity. The Lord IS with us!
