Not a Program
By Dorothy WaIeski
Staff Reporter


The real problem in educating the gifted
child or rapid learner is that each one is
unique and can't be made to fit any general
program Of teaching.
This places the burden on the regular
classroom teacher, according to DIR. Clara
Stratemeyer elementary supervisor and
chairman of the board of education commit
tee responsible for the gifted children pro-
gram in Montgomery.
DR.. Stratemeyer has served on the COM
mittee since it began seven years ago under
the late superintendent, DR.. Edwin W.
Broome, and has been its chairman for the
past five years.
Her committee is interested in gifted
children on all levels but the secondary pro-
gram differs radically from the elementary
one and will be discussed in later article.
At this time we will only point out that
on the secondary level, the problems of spe-
cial classes, partial segregation and some de-
gree Of acceleration have to come into the
picture.

Gifted Child's Main Hope

of the gifted individuals in her class is actual
ly limited to the third to sixth grades
Children in the first and second grades
are fully occupied in learning to read and it
isn't until the third grade that the special
needs of the high-inteligence group are felt.
Here we will stop to define gifted child"
and rapid learner and how many of them
can be expected in the county public schools.
10 Requirements
On the basis of tests given nationwide,
the gifted child has an 10 of 135 or higher;
the rapid learner has an 10 between 100
and 1875.
Group tests have shown that about two
percent Of our school population is gifted
and 20 percent is the rapid learning group.
However pilot study of DR.. Strate-
meyers committee seems to indicate that
many of the rapid learners are in reality
gifted children Until a countrywide study
can be made, the actual number of gifted
children can only be guessed.
The difficulty here is that in order to
set up such screening program on the third
grade level, full-time psychologist is needed

deem Angus cattle to bidders
from as far away as California
for around 100000
Owners Sam and Katherine

A community poll of Twin.

majority to a request of Peoples
Drug Store for an off-sale beer
license in their Twinbrook store.
County liquor officials consid-

poll did not arrive until after the

Democrats
In Accord
On Truce

Temporary harmony was re
stored between dissonant factions
Of the Democratic party in Mont
gomery County this week when a
Ways and Means Committee
unanimously approved a state
ment of policy.
The statement closed the rift
between the committees organi
Zation and caucus members who
last week were split by veteran
old-liner, E. Brooke Lee.
Lee charged that caucus mem
bers held secret" meetings and
that they we're afraid of a fight,
leading up to the May 20 prima
rieS.
His statement followed a A
vote on proposal to elect can.
didates from states recommended
by the 81 precinct chairmen.
A committee statement issued
by committee chairman David
Reich instructed precinct chair
man to publicize the party's need
to settle on outstanding citizens
for candidates.
The committee also agreed to
hold informal public meetings AND
conferences throughout the coun
ty to spread information about
the upcoming elections.
The committee will meet agair
January 80 to prepare a report
for submission to the precinct
chairman on or about February

School Heads Differ on
HOiU to Write Up Goals

School board members argued
for about two hours Tuesday
over what words they should use
in setting down on paper a pro.
posed set of educational goals for
Montgomery County Schools.
And the argument ended with.
out any agreement being reached.
Underlying the two-h r
wrangle, however, was the
weighty question of where the
school system should put its main
emphasis.
School Superintendent c. Tay-
lor Whittier had set up a staff
committee, headed by DIR. Bob r.
Nichols, to come up with a draft
OF the proposed set of standards.
How do we know what we are
trying to accomplish or if we are
accomplishing it?' DR.. Whittier
asked rhetorically. Then the
school board started to discuss
DR.. Nichols draft.
Board members weren't at all
sure that what they were trying
to accomplish agreed with the
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1957-11-14

goals the committee had worked
out with the cooperation of the
countys teachers, principals and
supervisors.
In the first place the goals were
not presented in the order of
their importance. DR.. Nichols
said he needed approval of the
principles outlined before his
committee started work on the
explanation and amounts of EN-.
phasis to be placed on the differ
ent goals.
Board members Harrison King
and Wylie Barrow were strongly
In favor of the schools developing
competence in the fundamental
skills of listening, observing,
speaking, reading, writing, spell
ing, mathematics and the arts"
although Barrow looked askance
at 1.-THE arts" being included in
the fundamental skills.
He also doubted whether the
schools should tackle ethical be-
havior based on moral and spirit
