appeared in the northern sky.
From a diamond-shaped galaxy

in stately array, column of blue
stars. The galaxy itself moved
majestically in a semi-circle,
while the festoon of stars sus-
pended therefrom twinkled in
rhythmic brilliance as they slant

remembered that my neighbor
across the street is a dealer in

business, a gigantic crane to hoist
the huge iron girders. The sec

transform all earthly scenes.

Past is Prologue

THEsmost recent study of area government
problems to be submitted to the Joint
q Committee on Washington Metropolitan
bblems is-like almost all of the others
Sound thought-provoking document which
eserves serious study and consideration.
In it, the governmental experts point
ITO the complete absence of any agency or
group-public or private-that now is able
! to even scratch the surface as far as effective
! |collection-and use-of various and slmdry
statistics is concerned.
This is an area that offers almost limit
less opportunity to area planners and sundry
officials to see what the future probably has
n store for us on the basis of what has al
ready happened.
If nothing should come of this excellent
uggestion as a result of the Congressional
tudy of Washington area governmental
robIems, it should not be allowed to die.
ONE agency or group, preferably the Wash
pgton Regional Conference, should pick up
he ball and run with it. It's too good an
pportunity to miss.

BE factual and objective the journalism
professor told Don't allow your personal
opinions to color news story"
But Prof. forgot TO tell us that even
good thing can be OverdOne.
Consider, for example, our story on the cur.
rent fuss over the so-called ife-adustment'
which is given in the county's seventh
grade.
In our view, 1t is a rather innocuous little
(sx to 10 weeks course designed to orient
the student TO his new junior high surroundings
and to consider some problems common to youths
entering their teens.
These might include such p0rtentOus
issues as how 10 dress for date, or how to
get along better with ones family and friends.
Despite this innocent format the course has
been vocferously maligned by some parents who
say their children can be upset by such topics
To us, much of the criticism seems highly
emotional and often, crude distortion of the
facts
Nevertheless, the objections are newsworthy
because they are shared by a reasonably large
group OF parents. Consequently, we recently
decided TO do a newsfeature treatment of the
issue.
Knowing our own bias on the side OF the
school administration, and remembering Profs
advice, we took special pains 10 present a bal
anced story.
First we outlined the case for the prosccu-
tion as adequately as we knew how in the limited
space available. Then we presented the for
the defense, told by officials and teachers who
sincerely feel the course has role in school
curriculum.
The result, we thought was a reasonably
objective report, with both sides adequately rep
resented.
Then came the response almost exclusive
ly in the form OF delighted squeals from the
critics of the course One of them ordered %
copies Of the article Another told US: Il GER
tainly agree with you that the course is terrible
thing"
We're not yet certain what went wrong. Did
we lean too far backward in Difference TO Profs
warning? Or do these critics read through eyes
which gently screen out what they do not want
to see? Anyway, we want to answer them.
This course deals with problems that are very
real to youths entering their teens. You don't

Under these rules, three minutes will be

Persons wishing 10 speak should contact Mrs.
Mary Walters, clerk to the Board of Education, at

Superintendent c. Taylor Whittier has rec.
commended 195960 expenditures Of SIT million
for capital outlay and $31.1 million for operating
costs His proposals come up for final school
board action on January 15
The boards recommendations will then be

eliminate problems by pretending they aren't
there. And unfortunately lew children have such
all-wise parents as to permit full, frank, objec.
tive and enlightened discussion of these matters
at home.
Even IL they did, they would lose the advan-
tage Of sharing their views with others Of their
own age and the comforting realization that
they are not the first in history to suffer similar
growing pangs.
An intelligent understanding of his personal
problems increases childs ability to think and
act independently. II this is what these angry
parents fear, they'd better examine themselves
rather than the school curriculum.
None of this is to deny that benefits can
derive from the current criticism. Any course
can be improved, and there is no reason why
this should be an exception
Also, as any other course, this one can be
mistaught. If So the fault lies not with the sub.
ject matter, but with the teacher. Recruiting the
best available teachers into our system is sepa-
rate problem - and one which the critics Of life
adjustment might better spend their energies
solving.

(The fOIIolCing editorial is reprinted
from the columns of the January 5, 1872 is
sue OF the Montgomery County Sentinel. 1t
IS as timely today as then.)
The opening of New Year admonishes
us in silent yet emphatic language that we
are gliding swiftly along the journey of life.
In looking back on the road already travelled,
we find that our way thus far has not been
altogether smooth; it has been thickly set
with brambles and thorns, whose points have
SOrely lacerated us when we would force a
passage through them without regard to
proper paths Countless flowers and beauties
have also been thickly strown along our
path, and we have found messy banks at
the foot of many old oaks, where we have
sat down with friends and been happy.
We have learned that true life is in the
little acts, the good intentions, and the purity
of our motives. Death is in the memory we
leave behind us for others.
We have found that few of our hopes
are ever realized, and, that it is in fancy that
we revel in love, and find happiness in places
here and there. There have been times when
storms of passion have swept over the soul,
dark shadows driven by fierce blasts, old
memories dragging their slow lengths along,
3
We shall soon reach that goal. In a lit
tie while the gates of death will open before
us as they have year by year for others;
sudden turn or gentle winding will reveal
our home. There we will lie down as others
have done before us, on the right or left
of them, as our surviving friends may choose.
The sun will laugh, the stars will smile,
the zephyrs play among the boughs, the
leaves will dance over our graves, the rain
patter upon our earthly roof, as if in mockery
and weeds, or flowers, spring into life, and
perfume, as we shall take seeds with us into
the grave. And those who now laugh with
us will laugh without us. A few tears will
be shed, and the fountains of grief will there
be dried up. The sum- moon and stars will
shine as usual; the morn, the noon, and the
night, will come.
The books and things we now-40ve will
then be thrown aside; the hpYas we had in
early life will fade likeEsfadows, the loves
of ripper years will be egcomforted after we
are gone; the thingsEe now cherish as our
own will be anothers
The 'cIgud Of grief may bring storm,
or wearra tempest; but storms and tempests
VIII pass away, and the places of earth that
now know us will know us only through our
good or evil deeds, and the name we leave
| behind us. The world will exist long after
we are gone. The road will be travelled
long after our footprints are forgotten.
Then let us mellow the mould all that
we can, remembering that every good act
will be as flower that will beautify our
final home; every good deed as an evergreen
that will mark our final resting place; every
good intention as a bird which will sing the
harmony OF love over our graves; every pure
motive a screen to beat back the hot sun of
-alumny; and every friend we are true to
{ Fill be witness for us when the time comes
that we shall most need them.
