Northern Virginia University
Center Committee.
Last night, Mr.. Raul touched
on his boycott statements in in
forming several board members
that he had invited reporters to
the conference.
Mr.. Raul said he realized
there are some projects. such as
an individuals ability, that
might call for an executive ses-
son. However, he said. the mat
ter at hand was the possible sale
of county land and therefore a
proper topic for an open meet
ling.
It developed that the man.
agement of the Shirlington
shopping center was anxious to
purchase about 7 acres Of the
adjoining 4l-acre County Prop
erty Yard land. This transact
ton. it was reported. would pro-
vide a site large enough for con-
struction of the three or four
story department stores
Attorney Thomas W. Phillips.
representing the Shirlington
corporation, declined to say
which store is interested in
building at the shopping center.
The proper procedure Tor such
a request as was the subject Of
the conference, Mr.. Raul said, is
to place the matter on the Coun-
ty Board agenda and let the
public air its views on the ques-
ton.
ut is just not good policy for
Arlington County" he said.
when a private individual has
opportunity to confer on a re-
quest and the general public
does not"
All future County Board con-
Iferences. Mr.. Raul added. should
be assumed to be open to the
public. If not. then reason for
a closed session should first be
offered and then debated, he
declared.
The board member empha-
sized that his statements were
directed to general policy and
were not a reflection on any Of
the interested parties in the
case at hand.
Mr.. Phillips, the attorney in
the case. said the closed meet
ing was requested so that the
matter could be dropped If inl-
tial talks should prove that
there is no possibility Of achiev-
ing the land purchase.
Mr.. Phillips said that the pro-
posed store would be larger
than Woodward and Lothrop at
Seven Corners. but smaller than
Hecht's at Arlington's Parking

practical matter, it is impossible
to teach a class when one stu
dent habitually disrupts the
routines. We feel that such a
child must be either emotionally,
mentally or physically handi-
capped and needs community
facilities not now available with
in the school system. We are
prepared to request a program
of pupil personnel officers to
provide communication between
the classroom. the home and the
special services available in the
schools and the community. We
have repeatedly urged that a
psychiatrist be employed by the
schools.

Education to take immediate
steps toward the establishment
lof special remedial treatment
lcenters for incorrigibleS.
r. N. Shoemaker, District
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers-We believe that the removal
of unmanageable children from
public school cIassrooms is essen
tital. We also believe that the
acuteness of the situation under
lines the necessity for immediate
steps to be taken to achieve an
expansion, of community services
of both preventive and remedial
nature.
Ruth Barnes, Stephen Elliott
Kramer Junior School PTA-We
indorse legal expulsions. AS a
solution, a residential treatment
home with a staff devoted to in
corrigible cases should be estab-
lished.
Miss Flake Pinkett, Fedora
ton of Civic Associations-We
believe any legislation which
permits exclusion or suspension
without providing immediate
and concrete remedial measures
does nothing to solve the prob
lens for the community or for
the children. Leave the door OF
school open to the maladjusted
child. H.
Mrs. Jack Gottsegen, National
Council of Jewish Women
There should be a program
which would lead to the eventual
return to school of the unman-
ageable child.
John Brazel, Federation OF

expulsion, one bad apple can

community must provide special

Most community leaders yes
terday backed, almost begrudg-
ingly. the school systems plan to
amend the compulsory education
law so as to legalize the expul-
sion of incorrigible children
But all emphasized the incor-
rigible should not be turned
loose. And they implored either
the school system or a pool d
community agencies to come ur
with a plan to treat, then pos

ible child to school. Each sug.

for a residential treatment CEN

toward establishing specialized

child any legislative plan pro-
viding for broadening of expul-

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

One topic which never seems
to weary self-styled gram
marians" is the placement of
only" I receive letters COM
planning about sentences like
Il only want 10 minutes of
your time" The correct form,
according to these self-ap-
pointed arbiters of language,
must be II want only 10 min
utes." etc.
It's true that logically "only"
should Immediately precede
the word it modifies but actual
usage does not always follow
logic and, as / remarked in q
recent column. most author
tiles today accept the placing
Of only" in front of the verb.
rather than before the word it
modifles. as in the sentence
above. They regard it as an
entirely acceptable idiom.
A Chicago reader writes:
who are these authorities
who sanction incorrect express
Sions? Because people Of alien
tongue extraction or Of low
mentality can't or won't get 1t
right, must this mutilation Of
beautiful language be called
correct?"
A good question-but one
which reveals q misunder-
standing Of the role of the
linguist today. No longer does
the authority on grammar or.
as some now call it, structural
linguiStics," try to decree
what should or should not be
said. He now functions as a
recorder Of the language as it
is written and spoken by peo-
pie Of education and INTEL
ligence.
If, on the basis Of studies
of the speech and writings of
many literate people in all
parts Of the country, he be-
comes convinced that most Of
them disregard the old puristic
insistence on the placing of
only" he records the new
usage as acceptable.
