not be completed in less than
two years.

sion that the subcommittee was
more intent upon proving that

Norris Plans to Tighten
County Pupil Promotions

DR., Forbes H. Norris, Mont
gomery County superintendent
of schools. said today he will
attempt to eliminate "chrono-
logical promotions" in the
Icounty'S elementary schools.
Too many pupils" he de-
clared, ARE going into junior
high schools with reading levels
that are too low"
His stand reverSes the system
which he conceded has largely
been in effect for many years
under which pupils have moved
from grade to grade despite
unsatisfactory levels of achieve
Iment.
A more drastic plan of enforc-
ing educational standards-masS
demotions of tagging pupils-has
been proposed by Brig. Gen.
Thomas A. Lane, District Com
missioner. His plan stirred wide
spread opposition.
Chronological promotions have
been adopted by school boards
throughout the nation in the
past Is years. but DR.. Norris
said he believes the time has
come to call a halt in Mont
gomery County.

In effect, his plan will call for
more children spending more
time in schools, if it takes them
two or more years to complete a

He attacked the "criteria that,
