curriculum, emDodying the recon-

of Education at its meeting on July

tage of the pupil. Studies will con-
sist of the following program:
1. Attention to class opganiza-
ton and procedure in order to pro-
vide the minimum amount of in
terruption and interference in
each school,;
2. A greater concentration of
effort for each grade TO be achieved
through the class organization;
3. More specific help provided in
the grade placement for each sub

placement by primary grades, in
termediate grades and upper

Workshop On Education

eachers are entering the system,
as has been the case in recent
years. There was general agree
ment for need Tor providing more
textbooks, and for them to cover
each subject in greater detail. 1t
was further decided to substitute
for Social Studies as heretofore
organized, the separate subjects
composing this field of study made
up of history, geography, civics,
science and current events sepa-
rately identified for each grade,
and thus provide more concrete
material for teachers and pupils.
The Board approved a request of
DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, Jr., State
Superintendent of Schools, that
the teachers assist in the draft
registration which will take place
about August 16, and is expected
to last about three days. 1t also
approved the dedication of part
of the Garrett Park School site to
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
for the construction of a recrea-
tional center fer that area. The
recreational facilities will be made
available to the children Of the
Garrett Park School when school
is in session, and as additional
recreational facilities are provided
by the Park and Planning Com
mission, they in turn will be avail
able TO the school children.

) East-bound traffic would
come through the town just
as at present. Snowden's
curve on 240 would also be
eliminated if the plan meets
with the approval of the State
Roads Commission to which
it will be recommended. The
plan would in no way affect
local traffic as Montgomery
Avenue would continue to be
a two-way street.
Drawings of the proposed road
were shown. They were made at
the suggestion Of business men Of
the town. 1t has long been recog-
nized that a bypass of the town
as proposed by the State Roads
Commission in its long-range
planning would not solve the traf-
fic problems of Route 24O in the
town of Rockville.
Meanwhile the bottle neck at the
corner of Frederick Road and
Washington Street will be cased
shortly by the installation of
traffic light, Mayor Lamar Kelly
told the group.

Commissioners Will Sell
School Bonds All At Once

The County Commissioners have
decided to advertise between Au-
gust Is and September 1 for bids
for the sale of the 100000 in
bonds for school construction. The
board had first planned to sell the
bonds piece-meal but changed on
advice of bond attorneys who re-
commended selling the bonds in
lump sum to avoid competing with
other scheduled bond issues of
nearby communities.
Only $4,000 remains of ST.
100000 bond issue for school con-
struction sold last fall, according
to county supervisor l. G. McNayr.
He said that some of the proposed
100000 issue will finance COM
mitments already made for new
classrooms.
1t was agreed to delay temper
arily the purchase of a 10-acre
school site adjacent to Viers Mill
Village following a request from
President Brooke Johns of the
county board.
School and county board Off
Gals revealed they had held, on
Monday night, the first in series
of "off the record" harmony confer
ences. The informal sessions are
an outgrowth of a split between
the two agencies over 1947-48 bud
get differences.
At the regular commissioners
meeting in Rockville, Mrs. Eleanor
E. Howe of Olney complained that
overlooking septic tanks at Mont
gomery County General Hospital
are communicating stream on her
property behind the hospital.
The board instructed DR.. V. L.
Ellicott, County Health Officer, to
request State Health Department
survey of the conditions. DR.. ]. w.
Bird, head of the hospital, when
called at his home for comment,
contended there is no danger of
the stream communicating wells in
the area.
He explained the hospital has
raised about 100000 for improve
ments, which include a proposed
sewage disposal plant, but is at
tempting to obtain $4,000 in Fed
eral matching funds before pro-
ceeding with the work. Whether or
not the Federal aid is forthcoming,
the hospital will go ahead with the
plant anyway, he emphasized.
A contract for the purchase Of
tires and tubes for county vehicles
at cost of $32, 5O8.34 was award
ed the G. d. Armstrong Co., Lay

lowest of 10 submitted to County
