This Rock

By Bill Glib

mon sense in judging the action
of our city commissioners with
regard 10 the police department.
After all, we chose these men
from among others as being the
most capable and efficient Leaders
in the community. They have de-
cided that the police department
will function better by eliminating
the Captain of Police and substitu-
ting an Assistant Chief of Police.
I, for one, say give them a chance
to work out their ideas-witfhold
Judgment until results, good or
bad, can be observed.
We all know that the police de-
partment in the past has hardly
been considered an admirable out
fit by the public. Most OF us have
also realized that this wasn't the
fault of personnel within the de-
partment but could be traced to
a Lack of planning and direction
by responsible leaders. For months
now, the commissioners have been
studying this problem. We can
help them and help ourselves by
recognizing the fact that the police
department cannot sink much low
er in the public's estim alton but
might possibly rise a little by
being reorganized.
In spite of the fact that I've
often written against our NUM-
cipal law enforcement procedures,
rive always considered most of
the police officers as being
among my best friends. Men
like Baker, Caraballo, Case, Con-
ley, Linehan, both Perezes, Quinn
and numerous others are whole
heartedly devoted TO performing
their duty properly. The fact that
they lack training has been our
(the public's) fault. We can't even
blame the commissioners because
we've always baked them by how
ling to the high heavens every
time they attempted 10 improve
matters.
This time, lets give the men
we've elected an opportunity b do
their job. l think we have one Of
the finest group Of men az city
commissioners that have ever held
office. Let them proceed with
their plans 10 improve the police
department and then, il they are
wrong, this column will be the
first 10 expose their failure.

THE NEWEST EDUCATIONAL THEORY

The newest theory education, repeatedly is that
which passes all Students whether they make passing
grades not to about the eighth ninth grade level
AS described by teacher recently the theory would
eliminate the problem of older students in the lower
grades-children who stayed in grade four five
years.
The these children passed in the lower
grades, when they do not make passing grades is to
keep them going along with the class and get them out
of school, The theory behind this thesis that there is
certain percentage of problem children in every class
That is there certain percentage of every class that
will not pass and will not make honest effort to pass
The reason they are sometimes a bad Influence in
the lower grades that they much older than their
fellow students after failing for several years and tend
to become leaders merely because of their Since
most of these students not going to pass be good
students anyhow, the theory that to pass them until
they reach the eighth ninth grade level would best
solve the problem At that level they either drop out
of school, be sent to special classes dealt with in
variety of ways need not be humiliatng experience
need crush his ego But for passing all students
alike regardless of their grades are not inclined to
swallow this latest theory.
