Commission Report
Discussed at P.-T.A.

Willard l.. Hawkins, County
Superintendent of Schools, was the
guest speaker at the Grantsville
PTA Monday evening, and used the
time allotted for his part in the pro-
gram to discuss the report to the
Maryland Self Survey Commission
by DR.. Freeman Butts of Columbia
University. Dr. Butts was elected
to head the Commission appointed
by Gov. McKeldin to appraise the
Maryland State Educational Pro-
gram The study was completed in
June and recently released as
public information.
Dr. Butts report was made on
the basis of visits to a number
of schools and counties, a study of
the state and county curricula, a
study of state and county test re-
suits. a study of the follow-up in
formation concerning Maryland
high school graduates, study of
success and failure in college, a
study of the eXtra-curricular pro-
gram and other information peril
nent to an evaluation of the quality
of schools in Maryland.
The final report appeared most
favorable to the program of educa-
ton throughout the state, Mr.. HaW-
kins said. Hawkins declared that
DR.. Butts did not say that every
thing was perfect in the Maryland
schools. He stated that the range
in quality of the schools ran from
the best in the nation to some that
were poor. But as a whole the re-
port placed the schools of Mary
land in a very favorable light.
Quoting from the report, "Fortu-
hately, l believe, the practice in
Maryland high schools has had
college preparation more fully in
view than some of the official state

tween philosophy and practice is

Mr.. Sears told of a 25-year-old
young woman who has heart
condition developed from a case
Of rheumatic fever when she was
child. While she cannot work
under stress or pressure, Mr..
Sears said she would make a fine
employee as a file clerk or cashier
in some small store or business.
She has had work experience and
would be an asset to any employer
the committee believes.
He also pointed to a young man
of SO with three dependents who
was laid off after working nine
teen years for one plant which has
been closed. He has been doing
general office work for the past
two years. Several years ago he
developed tuberculosis and had a
lung removed and as a result of
the operation suffered a spinal in
jury which made him a paraplegic,
since March 1857 However, he
drives his own car, carries a wheel
chair which he can operate so long
as no stairs are involved and wants
very much to work.
Mr.. Sears also listed a Korean
veteran, who is 33 years old and
single. His disability did not come
from service. Since suffering a
spine injury he has to wear a
metal back brace and cannot
stand for long periods or do heavy
work He has had work experience,
but now needs job such as light
bench work, assembly, etc.
"If anyone can find employment
for these people, or others whom
we have interviewed and feel
would make a real contribution to
our labor force, we hope a con-
tact will be made with Mr.. Null
rooney at the Delaware State En-
ployment, Sixth and Shipley
Streets" Mr.. Sears said.
after all, we can do no more
than screen these people and urge
employers to use them when we
believe they are qualified. We
urgently plea that they be given
an opportunity to be self suffici-
ent," he concluded.
