Montgomery Junior College.
Supt. C. Taylor Whittier told
the School Board Tuesday that
he could not recommend at this
time system of academic ranks
which the junior college people
recently requested.
None of the State Teachers
Colleges have such a system nor,
according 10 a recent survey. do
their staffs wish such change,
Whittier reported.
The main objection. the super.
intendent felt, was that IL limited
the number Of top rank people
and thus discouraged the young
er, less experienced members
from entering or remaining in
the colleges.
Further study of Montgomery

needed, Whittier said. lie pointed
out that II was unique" in that
1t did not relate rank TO a salary

Tranquilizers Given
To School Kids Here
Happy Pills
Limited to
Retarded Class

A pilot experiment of CIV
ing tranquilizers to emotion
ally disturbed school children
has been under way in one Of
Montgomery's special schools
a full year.
The project was brought to
light Tuesday when the School
Board agreed to cooperate for a
second year of the experiment
with the county health depart
ment.
AT Norwood Special School a
small group of children, with
parental control, will be given
Serpatilin by a private physician,
DR.. Ira w. Pearlman, of Bethes-
a, who has volunteered to aid the
Hot study. The drug will be fur
'ished by Ciba Pharmaceutical
Company.
In the school year 1861, the
reject was begun by the school
md health department.. Last year,
superintendent c. Taylor Whit
Ter reported, there was no for.
nal program although individual
parents continued to give the
drug TO their children under the
supervision of their family doc
tors.
The School Board committed
itself TO repeating the program
for the coming year without ex-
pressing an opinion on the use of
tranquilizcrs.
The second year of the expert.
ment will expand the project by
using pilot and control groups Of
matched los with none of the
teachers and parents observers
knowing which group gets the
Serpatilin tablet or which group
the "placebo" or imitation tablet.
Norwood's principal, Miss Ger
trude G. Justison, recommended
the continuation Of the pilot
study because II "had yielded sig
nificant data despite inadequate
samples and control"

No date for arming the site
with the super Nike missile has
been set, he said, but he confirm
ed a report that the Baltimore
Washington area guarded by the
super-sonic missiles eventually
will be armed with Hercules.
Although the Hercules can
carry nuclear warheads, they will
not be so armed while they are
in readiness, the spokesman said.
The Derwood missile site now
has conventional Ajax Mixes
poised on its launching pads. The
Hercules missile can carry both
atomic and high explosive war
heads.
The Hercules is about twice as
large as the Ajax and has at least
three times again as much range.
The Ajax repeatedly is effective
over range of 25 miles. The
Hercules also is capable of twice
the speed of the Ajax, already
faster TIL n conventional jet
fighters and bomberS.
The Hercules is said to be effec-
tive as high as 10000 feet. 1t is
a two-stage rocket than can be
made to fire either directly on a
target or in it's proximity.
