NeaU School Superintendent
Little Red School Grad
By JANE SNYDER

DR.. Forbes H. Norris, beginning
his first year as superintendent of
Montgomery County schools with
the fall term, started teaching 81
years ago in little red school
house in Indiana.
During those years the one-room
school has been replaced by con-
solidated schools and educational
methods have changed apace.
DR.. Norris, a frank, handsome
six-fcoter, describes himself as an
educational middle-of-the- roader.
He believes in thorough teaching
Of the three RS with consideration
Tor individual differences in chill
dren.
There is a place in the schools
for industrial arts, physical educa-
ton, fine arts and music DR.. Nor
ris believes. They give youngsters
an outlet in their leisure time.
Queried at recent Rockville
Lions Club about teaching com
munism in the schools, DR.. Norris
said. "Pd prefer that my children
learn about communism and the
the other isms from a competant
teacher rather than from some
2thel source"
At the same meeting DR.. Norris
disapproved strongly of politics in
education. Teachers should be
selected by professionals on the
basis of personal qualifications, {"
DR.. Norris said.
"PTA's" said DR.. Norris, "have
an important role in school life
building a favorable climate for
public education" Money raising
should not be their primary aim,"
ne stressed.
Dc Norris, just out Of school,
began teaching in the one-room
school his mother once attended.
He, as an Indiana farm boy, had
walked to similar school. He re-
calls helping with farm chores
summers and weekends, but school
always came first with his family.
In those days a three month
normal school course was all that
was necessary to teach. He saved
his teaching money to attend col
lege, and was graduated from
Manchester College in Indiana
with an BA degree.
While doing graduate work az
the University of Illinois he me:
brown-eyed Veda Vose. She had
received her Masters Degree in
Modern Languages and was teach

Attracted by the tiny foot, 2
inches brown haired teacher, he
made a date for Valentine Party
Fifteen months later, on May 90,
1923. they were married.
After his marriage he continued
his studies, receiving his Masters
and his Doctorate from Harvard
University, as well as doing grad

Pollution
Considered
By Council
Health Officer Tells
yCouncilmen His Office
Has No Authority
To Curb Sewage

An anti-stream pollution ordi-
nance will receive consideration of
the County Council in the near
future as a result of conditions
reported on Muddy Branch south
and west of Gaithersburg.
The Council Tuesday directed
County Attorney David Macdonald
to study such legislation after
learning the county health depart
ment had no legal authority to
order abatement of the reported
pollution of Muddy Branch.
The stream each year during
canning season becomes obnox-
ious" because of the sewage from
the cannery in Gaithersburg, the
Council was told.
County Health Officer V. L. FL
licott in a report to the Council
by letter, said although the pollu-
tion was a nuisance it was not a
menace to human health. AS a
result he said his department lacks
jurisdiction in the matter.
The health officer however, told
the Council the Maryland Water
Pollution Commission is studying
the problem.
This answer received a cool re-
ception from Council members, es-
pecially Lathrop E. Smith and
Louis A. Gravelle.
Mr.. Gravelle said the commits
sion would take six months to re-
port and then "whitewash the
whole thing"
Mr.. Smith asked if the farmers
weren't entitled to decent
stream. He added he felt no COM
munity had the authority to pol
lutte stream waters.
Cecil E. Custer, who owns land
along the stream decried the
health departments opinion that
it was not a health menace.
Mr.. Custer said the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Comnis-
sion which operates the Gathers
burg sewage treatment plant, had
refused to help abate the pollu-
ton.
Mr.. Custer added that sewage
lines often overflow throwing raw
sewage on his property even in
the off-canning periods. He said
this definitely constituted a health
menace.
The spokesman also said the
commission had told him Muddy
Branch will not handle any expan-
sion of the sewage system.
Council President George f.
Nesbitt said the county was al
ready late in trying to control
stream pollution. He said the his
tory of keeping streams clean is
a sinful history"
We've seen this wanton pollu-
tion and the repulsive water
courses" he said as he urged the
Council to take some action to
correct the situation.

Crowding
In Schools
Expected
On Monday
Opening Day Will
See 220O Pupils
On Double Shifts
DIR. Norris States

Double shifts for 2,200 Mont
gomery County School children
were announced Unexpectedly Mon
day by DR.. Forbes H. Norris, su-
perintendent of schools.
Crowding is due in most cases
to delay in completion Of build
ings, DR.. Norris said. Much of the
overcrowding will be relieved by
October Is as new schools and adj
iitions are made ready for occu-
pancy.
DR.. Norris had previously re-
ported no double shifts in sight for
the fall term. He attributed the
optimism of his former report 70
The normal confusion of new ST.
perihtendent entering the school
system.
Well over 600 students are ex-
pected to be on double shifts for
at least the first semester and
perhaps longer. In nearly all cases,
Or. Norris said, the children af-
fected will be in the first, second
and third grades.
The most serious situation Is
Lone Oak Elementary, near Rock
vile, where some 500 pupils in the
first five grades are expected to
be on half day shifts probably
until January or later. A new
addition under construction there
will not be completed for several
months, DR.. Norris said
Some 1870 pupils in the first and
second grades at Bradley Hills
Elementary probably will be on
double shifts the entire year. A
new addition is not yet under way.
Some 120 first, second and third
grades at Rock Creek Forest and
some $50 pupils at Woodside Ele-
mentary, both in Silver Spring,
are expected to get on a normal
full day schedule on about Octo-
ber with the opening of a new
addition at the former school.
The Rolling Terrace School, also
IN the eastern suburban district,
has some 120 first and second
graders on half day shifts until
October 1, when the new Highland
View Elementary will be ready fer
occupancy.
Other Schools Affected
Other schools where overcrowd-
mr. is anticipated include:
Twinbrook, Rockville, first, seq
ond and third grades, about 15O
pupils until after October /.
Mckenny Hills, Silver Spring
area, first, second and third grades,
bout 1870 pupils until after Octo-
Jer IS.
oakvicw, Silver Spring area,
drst and second grades, ITO pupils
until October 1.
The overcrowding situation in
Montgomery County is much worsc
than that reported when school
opened last fall. Then only about
700 pupils were on double shifts.
