Commenting on the necessity
for maintaining a good and ade.
quate teaching staff, the report
stated:
mo longer is teaching consid-
cred a process Of assigning Ger.
tain pages In a textbook to be
studied in preparation for a reci-
tation and eventually for a test
The best teaching today Is the
most effective guidance of in
dividual students in the develop
ment OF their special abilities.
This type of teaching requires
skill in planning and managing
learning experiences for children
who differ widely in their inter-
ests and in their capacities. Such
teaching is dynamic, not dead
ening; its procedures are flexible
rather than fixed; it is a process
OF discovering and developing in
dividual talents rather than one
OF imposing certain academic
standards upon all boys and girls,
I I'm this type Of teaching the
3 Rs become q means to an end
they become tools with which
to gain wider experience In our
modern world"

Education Board
Row Is Carried
To McKeIdin
PTA in Montgomery
Opposes Appointment
Of 6. Donald Meid

A fight over an appointment to
the Montgomery County Board o1
Education was carried today di-
rectly to Gov. McKeldin of Mary
land.
Members Of the Republican Or
sanization planned to insist that
Gov. McKeldin appoint G. Donald
Meid. a public accountant whose
home is near Rockville, while the
County Council of Parent Teacher
Associations demanded the selec-
ton of one of five citizens nomi-
mated by a ''non-partisan" con-
vention.
Gov. McKeldin is Republican.
The Republican State Central
Committee decided at a meeting
yesterday to stand by the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Meid. who is business
manager of the National Academy
of Sciences and the National
Research Council here. Its views
will be laid before the Governor
by Walter Dawson, party chair
man in the county; State SEN
ator Dewitt S. Hyde and Delegate
Duncan Clark.
Charging the COP is playing
politics after pledging to support
a non-political policy with re-
spect to schools, the PTA hurriedly
organized a delegation To make
the trip to Annapolis today. It
will be headed by Irving Wensiek
of Chevy Chase, vice president Of
the council.
The appointment will fill a
vacancy caused by the expiration
of the term of Mrs. Herman VIII
son Of Gaithersburg.
The nominating convention pro-
posed that the Governor make his
selection from a slate which in
cludes Mrs. Wilson. Leslie M. Able
of Rockville, Russell Whyte of
Brookmont, Bryan Kile Of Cath
ersburg and DR.. Walter Sewell,
colored, of Norbeck. ..
David L. Weed of Potomac.
president of the county PTA
Council, declared the nominations
were made in open convention
without regard to politics. He
noted that both major parties are
represented in the list. DR.. Sewell
is a Republican and all the others
are Democrats.
Senator Hyde said today he did
not care to speak further for the
committee but declared that Mr..
Meid, Republican, has all the
necessary qualifications for the
School Board Office.
Mr. Meid is Al, holds a bach
elor of science degree from But
Ter University and master of
science degree from the Univer-
sity of Illinois. He is certified
public accountant, is active in the
Chevy Chase Methodist Church,
in PTA affairs and work with the
Boy Scouts. the Senator said.
Mr.. Meid has lived in Mont
gomery County for nine years.
before which he was engaged in
school administrative work as ac-
countant at Purdue University. He
is the father of two children.
The PTA council, staunch sup
porters of the Montgomery school
system headed by Supt. E. w.
Broome, dislikes Mr.. Meid's mem
bership in the Parents League for
Curriculum Improvement. This
organization has sharply criticized
courses and methods adopted for
the county schools.
