P-TA Hears Opposing
Educational Views

versus concentrated teaching OF
intellectual subject matter was
the main issue.
Koerner said that twill of the
wisp" subjects had started creep
ing into the schools curriculum
about 25 years ago and that the
educators must accept great
part of the responsibility for this
tragedy" He said they were
committed to a philosophy oil
anti-intellectualism in education
Davis denied this and cited a
number of studies. showing that
today's pupils have better mas
terry. of reading and other subjects
than pupils of so years age
taught in the classical, stodgy
tradition"
His opponent, however, refused
to accept the studies as valid
without knowing more about the
conditions under which the tests
had been given and the qualifi
cations of the testers.
How we'll the public schools
equip students for college was
another point debated with sta
tistics spouted on both sides, as
Koerner strove to prove that to
days children are less educated
in the fundamentals and Davis
cited the large number Of stu
dents now attending college who
previously would have dropped
out long before.
A battle of semantics was
waged on the educational goals
put forth by the NEA spokesman
Including the teaching Of "civic
responsibility" Neither side
proved anything except that there
was no meeting of minds on the
best way to instill democratic
ideals.
The time limit of an hour ended
the debate with neither side Gov
cred with glory or gore.

Teen Center
Plan Killed
At GIenUieM

Rockville Civic Center's Doll
House, the small building ada
cent to the Mansion, win not be
used as a Teen Center.
The Mayor and Council this
week reversed a previous action
of creating a Teen Center here
on the recommendation of the
Civic Center Commission.
Recreation Director Bert Kur-
land advised the council that the
Doll House would require consid-
cradle renovation and repairs to
make it suitable for such a use.
Instead he recommended that
the building be used as an all
purpose building for scouts, the
garden club. nature activities,
crafts center, health club, and
overflow meetings. Another pos
sible use, Kurland said, would be
as a rest station or refreshment
stand.
A number Of citizens groups
have expressed opposition to the
location of the city's much needed
Teen Center at the Civic Center
as too far away from the popu-
lation center.
