Miss Scrivener advocated re-

The principals also agreed that
specific information on just

accompany him when he is
transferred to a different school.
Transfers have been causing
difficulties in pupil placement,
the group said.
Another proposal was that
principals do more visiting in

By JAMES G. DEANE

A group of Washington school
principals today proposed setting
up a parent-education program
in the Districts public school
system.
The proposal, which originated
with Mrs. Helen B. Lyman, prin-
lcipal of Bunker Hill Elementary
School, was offered as a way of
bringing closer contact between
school and home.
/ Mrs. Lyman, who also is parent
education chairman of the Dis
trict Congress of Parents, and
Teachers, suggested creation of
a special post for school official
to head the program.
The idea followed expressions
of concern at a discussion session
about difficulties stemming from
unfavorable home conditions.
Support Failure Seen
| Principals attending special
/ two-day conference on improv-
ing Washington school achieves
ment yesterday, and again today,
said many parents are failing
/ to support the school program
adequately.
/ While the principals made it
clear today that they are not
accusing parents of willfully
1 failing to be helpful. they also
stressed that they felt parents
frequently leave too much to be
done by the school.
Mrs. May T. Vermillion, prin-
cipal of the Stanton Elementary
School, told a session today that
she felt many parents needed
"a dash of cold water" about
! the situation.
Jolt Declared Needed
1T think the time has come,
maybe, when the community
does need to be jolted. / think
parents should wake UP and feel
some responsibility" she de-
clared.
She said that even health
problems are being thrown onto
the schools.
Were here to teach,' she adj
monished.
+ A group Of 20 principals, one
OF six such groups meeting at
the Department Of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare, recon-
mended that Mrs. Lyman's pro-
posal be studied by school ON
cials.
Bright Children Need Aid
The same group, with Miss Nell
F. Hiscox. principal Of Janney
Elementary School. in the chair
also recommended more atten-
ton to the gifted child.
Miss Hiscox said that prin-
cipals should provide more guild
ance for their teachers in en-
riching the educational program
for brighter youngsters.
Miss Katherine Scrivener, as
sistant elementary administrator
reported what she called a seri-
Gus situation on this score re-
Gently. She said school officials
have received two complaints
about children who had been
told TO bring sewing from home
because they had done all their
required work and had nothing
else 70 do.
Miss scrivener said some prin.

Mr.. Everett confided.
Don't get the idea spring arA

Everett cautioned. He noted
that the 400-man crew has to
pick up a daily average of 1870

But Mr.. Everett has enjoyed
most of the work. He has liked
being outdoors and says it has
kept him healthy. He has been
glad to see INFLAMMATION i'm

1T was really tough when
there were horses, dirt roads and

Still, there is heavier traffic
today. and the streets are loaded
with more debris. Some of them
downtown have to be cleaned
three times a day.

Franklin StotiontoH Herald Case Loads Hit
'PostOttIce OF omorrow By Parole Chief

Campbell c. johnson, chair
man Of the District Board of
Paroles yesterday said the pur-
pose of the proposed expansion
of the parole system should not
be primarily to relieve crowded
penal institutions.
Adding his word to the grow
ing log of official comment on the
parole question, Mr.. johnson
stressed the purpose of such an
expansion would be to reduce
case loads of parole officers. He
said this would allow granting
parole ito a relatively small
number of men and women who
are borderline cases and
might be given parole not
possible with the limited power
of parole officers available"
He pointed out that many of
those imprisoned should be
kept out of the community as
long as possible"
"On the other hand" he said
"the man who is incarcerated
and shows reasonable progress
toward rehabilitation i. should
not be prevented from having
that opportunity by a scarcity
of parole officers"
Mr.. Johnson concluded with
the warning:
"The purpose Of any expan-
sion should not be primarily to
relieve our penal institutions
|. :. 1t would be most unfortu-
nate to enter into any program
of release of felons merely to
save money or to relieve over
Icrowding in institutions when il
lis fairly certain that no amount
of supervision could possibly pre-
vent them from committing new

velopment pressures. is sched-
uled to begin soon and be fin
ished by March, 1858. Impetus
for the sewer job was Rockville
drastic need for a sewage out
let.
The strange thing about this
sewer, however, is that about
three miles of its southern length
will be outside the WSSC's OPP
Grating district.
/ officials of a number of agen-
cies concerned with the Cabin
John watershed development
feel that the sewer construction
will inevitably push drives for
extension of the WSSC operat-
ing boundaries, both southwark
and westward.
Harry B. Shaw, jr., WSSC
chief engineer, declined to specu-
late on the probability, and
stressed that "the authority to
extend is vested entirely in the
State Legislature"
Lost in Bitter Fight
The utility agency attempted
early last year to win Legislature
approval of such extension all
the way to town Of Potomac. but
was defeated by resident objec-
ton in a bitter fight.
Mr.. Shaw comedies. however,
that his agency feels "the en-
tire Cabin John watershed area
is going to have to be eventually
served by sewers"

opment pressures it will gen.

GUIDE TO GROWTH
Sewer Dispute Seen
In Cabin John Area

sewer trunk now extends to the
District line along the river, and
thence through Washington S
system to the sewage treatment
plant at Blue Plains. 1t is into
this system that the new Cabin
John Creek sewer also will tie.
Except for the Booze Greek re-
gion, the homes in the Cabin
John watershed are served by
septic tanks. Much of the hilly
area, however, is unsuitable for
septic treatment due to soil con-
ditions. a high water table and
heavy rock formations.
Septic Tanks Ruled Out
State health officials say there
hasn't been enough development
to give clear picture of the N
tire regions condition. In a
number of instances. however
septic tanks already have been
disallowed.
The health officials position
on sewer VS.. septic depends
largely on the development lot
sizes.
But we certainly don't con-

an impossibility." Even a num-
Der of large lots in the Cabin
John area. in fact, already are
experiencing septic troubles.
The sewer. meanwhile, al
though opening the door to de-
velopment in Cabin John. won't
exert the same pressures all over
the area. The high cost of sewer
line connections will limit the
first high-density building on
land nearest the trunk sewer.
It's what happens from that
point on that spurred the new
coming plan to control growth
