President Colgate w. Darden
OF the University of Virginia
thinks public education too often
is confused for gigantic day
nursery"
He said so last night In
addressing the annual banquet
Of the Fairfax County Chamber
of Commerce as he urged public
support for making the new
branch of his school in Northern
Virginia a strict institution OF
higher learning instead OF a
haven for billiards.
h The former Virginia governor
said it was a mistake to try to
make public schools a baby
sitting service" He said edu-
Gators could develop a better
school system If they had public
support for wedding out those
students incapable Of learning.
i've seen a great improve
ment In the public schools Of
this State" said Mr.. Darden.
"They can be even better
with your financial and moral
support"
Part of his remarks were
directed at public schools gen.
orally. and part of them at the
proposed new University of Viz
ginia branch to be built in
Northern Virginia.
Mr.. Darden said he thought
residents of the Northern Vir-
ginia area were best qualified to
decide where the new institution
should be located. but he wanted
to see that 1t was a first rate
school.
An important function of a
two-year school like the one pro-
posed is that it can weed out
those not capable of going on to
the final years of college, said
Mr.. Darden.
I'VE would just be defrauding
the public to run a second rate
branch" he declared. Il know
you don't want a sorry. second
rate, mediocre institution. 1t is
better for some people to go to
work as soon as they get out Of
high school than to daWdle
