Northern Virginia student
leaders agreed yesterday that
most schools lack adequate
science and mathematics train
ing. And they came up with
several ideas for correcting the
much-publicized situation.
II think the approach to
these subjects is way off," said
Phyllis Wilbur, a senior at Fair
fax High School. Its typical
of compulsory education to have
subjects geared to the average
or below average student.
There's not enough concentra-
ton or advanced training Of
fered for students with more
ability and interest"
Connie Catterton, a senior
ct Mclean High School agreed
"a well-rounded education is
important. but we should stress
science and mathematics earlier
in school," she said. students
would get interested through
scientific experiments, but If
the teaching is too simple and
easy, they will lose interest"
"Should Be Pushed Ahead"
Susan Davis, of Garfield High
School, said, "if a student has
ability, he should be pushed
ahead and not held back. The
way it is now, everybody is in
one class regardless of ability. I"
She added that schools now
lack sufficient funds for labora-
tory equipment.
A pilot school" plan was
advocated by Andy Robson,
student body president, at Ann
andale High School. Under this
system, he said, advanced stu

Mansfield made recent in
quiry as to whether or not the
Army Engineers study of the
flood control problem here would
be completed prior to the time
they submit their budget in the
event the estimated cost would
exceed 100000.
Person. in a reply to Mans
field said, You ask about the
possibilities of that study being
advanced sufficiently during the

propriate consideration by Con-
grcss in the event study indi.

Person said the Garrison Dis

he will proceed as expeditiously
as possible.
