DrugPrOgram
For Retarded
Pupils Tried

A controlled study under
which drugs are given some
severely retarded children to
make them more receptive to
instruction Is being conducted
in Montgomery County.
The program, disclosed yes
terday at a county school board
meeting, is in effect only at the
Norwood Special School at
tended by slow learners and
children with behavior prob
lens resulting from brain
damage.
School Supt. C. Taylor Whit
tier said 1t is hoped the pro-
gram will determine the feasi-
bility Of giving problem chill
dren some medication which
would help them adjust in the
classroom, become more recep-
tive to instruction and amena-
bic to good health habits.
Previous Trial
DR.. Whittier said the pro-
gram first was administered
with school board approval
during the l956-57 school year.
Last year it was undertaken
on an individual basis without
official approval. The board
yesterday agreed to participate
again during the next school
year along with the county
health department.
DR.. Whittier said the pro-
gram is administered by a
Chevy Chase pediatrician.
The drugs in pill form are
prescribed only by family
doctors with permission of
parents. The role Of the school
is limited to observing and
reporting results. The Norwood
PTA has promoted the pro-
gram, officials said.
Details of the program were
closely guarded by officials on
grounds the project is still in
the pilot stage" Definite re-
suits have not been determined,
they said.
improvement Reported
Mis- Gertrude G. Jutison,
principal of the school, said
in a letter to- the board that
the program has yielded sig
nificant data" officials also
have found that the classroom
teaching situation has i'm
proved.
Miss Justison said the pill
is called Serpatilin, which con-
tainS both a stimulant and a
tranquilizer. The Stimulant
works on the brain to speed the
learning process. The tran
quilizer reduces the number of
purposeless movements COM
mon among retarded children.
and calmS them.
A spokesman for the program
said the pills still have not been
administered to a sufficient
number of children over a long
enough period of time to de-
termine results of the project.
An attempt will be made next
year to include in the program
children at the Calvert Homes
School for mentally retarded
in Prince Georges County, the
spokesman said.
