Army Corps Of
Chaplains 173 Years Old

Armed only with a CT Bible,
faith in their God, and the zeal of
patriots, eighteen men won the
Distinguished Service Cross, and
another 157 earned the Silver Star
for gallantry in action in World
War II.
These men were of the Corps of
Chaplains, now dwindled from a
high of 8,171 during the war to
1,O97, who next Thursday 20, 1948,
will represent a Corps 173 years
old--within few days of being as
old as the United States Army
itself.
Relatively unsung from the days
of the Revolutionary Wars Rev.
John Hurt, who was the Army's
first legal chaplain, and before
him, the Rev. Captain John Steel,
who lies buried in Carlisle, Penn

"A frustrated Mother" Writes Us

Dear Mrs. Haines:
L am inclosing a clipping rela-
tive to meeting held two weeks
ago Monday in Bethesda and hope
that this weeks Sentinel will give
it-and similar meetings---some
favorable publicity.
With five other Rockville people,
l attended the meeting and l feel
that 900 of the persons were sin
cere, honest, and informed as to
what was going on in their school.
In any event, they were at least
as well informed as the three
Board members present.
If you are familiar with the
press releases of the last Board
meeting, you will know that Mr..
Gill felt we did not have enough
information to judge the situation
in our schools and Mr.. Slime COM
mented that our remarks were APP
parently based on our personal
experiences alone. Il would like to
point out that if congratulations
had been made the Board would
have been quick to say we were
"generalizing" and would have
asked for specific examples to illu-
strate our points!)
l have worked all year with our
local elementary school, the P.T.A.,
the Study Group, the room moth
ers, and with the so-called "Dia-
mond group" In addition, / have
spent considerable time studying
the curriculum, visiting the school,
and talking with school admins
traitors and teachers. l consider
myself an educator by training,
experience, and inclination.
am ayerse to sensational news
paper publicity, but l do feel that
the public should be cognizant Of
all the pertinent facts.
The School Board certainly must
have been aware of school unrest
long before the meeting on July
IL. AS early as March II, over
$50 Rockville persons met with
Mr.. Douglas at Richard Montgom-
cry High School and we were told
that our petition would be present
ed to DR.. Broome and the Board in
order to bolster our request for
action. we did get remedial
reading teacher and some changes
were made in the school setup 81.
could Mr.. Douglas do these with
out Board confirmation?
How can DIR. Broome say pub
licly that no complaints have
reached his ears when he has been
comforting with Alta Visits parents

since before our meeting of March
II! l believe that publicity-hon-
est, accurate reporting of all facts
of the program will do the most to
remedy our troubles. / do hope
that the county newspapers will
continue to support us with some
reporting =. FACTSl And with
out letting personal or party poll

had available to US the $4,000

could afford better than mediocre
private schools for our youngsters.
