Long Step Forward

HE superintendent Of schools is to be commended for
MS suggestion that the Board Of Education take over
.ne fS program OF teaching foreign languages starting
at grade three.
FILES is the P-TA-sponsored Foreign Languages in
Elementary Schools program. Growth of the program
from 40 pupils to over 5000 in six years is ample evidence
That Montgomery County parents want language training
Tor their children, and want 1t started early.
The United States has been woeully behind all other
major countries in the speaking of languages other than
tner own 1t has been minor scandal that this country
IN It's position of leadership, has so few citizens able to
speak anything but English
EDUCATION is the job Of our public schools and the
Board OF Education 1t should not have to be borne by
the P-TAs. =

Paul II. Oliver
Field Manager

Do l fill the fanatical partisan
role In our county which you
ascribe to Mr.. Raver for our
State Teachers Association? II
SO, l should be happy to concede
that teachers salaEies-in Mont
gomery County-have risen
sharply in recent years. AS a re-
suit, the county was able to ex.
ercise a degree of selectivity
over candidates for positions
that had not been the case in re-
cent years. Moreover, was in
formed last week that the ex-
odus of teachers from our class
rooms was reduced from 10 per
cent a year ago to IL per cent
this past year. May this par
tisan suggest that these are
both healthy results of a sharp
raise In teachers salaries.
AS far as the facts are con.
cerned, Montgomery County
has assumed an obligation for
its schools to a greater degree
than any of the other subdivis-
ions of our Free State. This, to
our partisan thinking, has re-
suited in a heavier drain on
our local real estate tax than
we approve. We do not con-
done the increasingly dispro-
portionate share of school costs
leveled on this over-burdened
tax source. We feel that relief
for the real estate owner is over
due.
At the Councils budget con-
sideration last year, agreed
that any state aid that would be
forthcoming a year ago should
be considered additional revenue
to reduce our local tax rate. We
are aware that, as a result of
highly questionable parliamen.
tary maneuvering, no increase
was granted and our local tax
payers paid the entire bill.
Again, / believe that what
ever additional aid that comes
to our county should be used in
ways other than in general sal
airy increases. We have an in
creased enrolment which will
require additional classrooms
and teachers. We are consider.
ing an expanded summer school
program to improve our offer
ings. We are anticipating that
our administrators will receive
increases this year to make
their salaries comparable to
those paid teachers a year ago.
We would hope that whatever
develops in state aid for schools

Lila Thomson's recent edi.
torial asking where Unitarians
are going, and why, deserves a
reply.
To have a free society, diverse
views must be freely expressed.
No one person, or group of per.
sons, has a monopoly on truth.
Unitarians extend this concept
to religion. Miss Thompson has
said her piece. Now I would
like to say a word. I can speak
only for myself, since freedom
Of individual conscience is vital
among Unitarians.
This is a natural world we
live in. The mind of man is part
OF that nature. Men act upon
what they believe. Therefore,
it is important that what men
believe corresponds to reality,
insofar as that is possible. II
men believe things which are
not rue to nature, their actions
will inevitably result in tragedy.
One of the recurring tragedies
of history is mans inability, or
unwillingness, to achieve his
fullest human potentiality. To
do this, he needs a climate of
freedom.
Freedom has not come easily
to men as individuals or in
groups. In our country, we have
idealized justice, equality and
freedom in our civics books; but
these are still goals of our So
ciety; they are not as yet fully
accomplished realities.
Standing between ourselves
and the realization of these
democratic goals are many emo
tional preconceptions which
men cling to. Some of them are
fostered by the beliefs some
men hold. Some are based on
fantasy, and not on fact. Some
are based on SNUG rationaliza-
tons which make a few men
comfortable at the expense Of
many others.
Religion, to Unitarians is Life.
Anything which has to do with
living the good life is part of
our religion. In broad general.
ity, Unitarians are trying to
help overcome the physical,
mental and emotional road
blocks to the good society. They
are doing so because they. be-
lieve that true justice, equality
and freedom are goals worth
working for, and because these
are values which are deep at
the heart of every decent re-
ligious person, regardless of his
faith.
II Unitarians listen to housing
developers, or watch union-pro-
duced movies on the problem of
housing Indignation, they are
doing this so as to explore ave-
nues for building a better hui
man brotherhood, where respect
and love replace demagoguery
and hatred. If these goals are
repugnant to Lila Thomson, we
are sorry.

The editorial cartoon, School
for Magazine Statesmen, in the
5 November issue was unfair to
the honest magazine statesmen.
Without an explanatory edi-
torial, the title implied all maya
zine solicitors are disreputable.
Anyone who saw the cartoon
without reading the editorial in
the preceding copy, would i'm
mediately assume you were in
dieting all magazine statesmen
as dishonest fakes and sloppy
ruffians.
Legitimate companies do not
mind regulations as long as
they are fair. In fact, they wei.

they are gone before they can
be prosecuted.

publishers hire local residents
who are solid citizens. The
firms are listed with the Central
Registry of the Magazine Pub

Most magazine solicitors are

Just as most department store
executives, police officers, bank

Der 5, column (Goals of Unita-
rians Topic of Query was right.
One has a duty to speak out on
matters of public concern where
they involve churches. But ]
must confess that that was
about the only point on which
l could find agreement with
Miss Thomson.
Her assumption that the Oc-
tober 26 meeting on Housing
Indignation was a sole Unitarian
venture was completely false. A
partial list of co-sponsors in
cludes not only the Universalist
Church of Silver Spring, which

Capital Clearing House for
Neighborhood Democracy, The
League of Women Voters, the
NAACP of this County, the
American Veterans Committee
of the District of Columbia and
Montgomery County, and the
Friends Joint Social Order Com
mittee of Washington.
Her attempt to discredit the
real need to get integrated hos.
ing projects in our area by an
appeal to let things run along
in their present desultory fash
ion, finds no support from the
person whose faith in the broth.
erhood of man is more than
words.
Her naive belief that social
justice must be divorced from
the ordinary business channels
is weak to say the least.
/ cannot help but wonder if
Miss Thomson's whole line of
attack is motivated more by dis.
like for Unitarianism than for
causes which Unitarians in con.
junction with all men of good
faith are sponsoring. Surely the
Unitarians are not the first nor
the only church to concern
themselves with the whale
range of social life which Ell
fects our society, nor in the face
Of the long record of social ac-
ton found in the Judeo-Chris-
tan heritage can Miss Thomson
believe that organized religion
can justify its right to exist
without seeking ways to live out
its faith.
Miss Thomson raises the
questions of where and why are
Unitarians going. Since Unita-
rians and Universalists have
just taken the key step in their
plans to consolidate by next
year, I feel reasonably safe in
attempting an answer for reli-
gious liberals.
Religious liberals are moving
toward the development of a
world wherein each man has an
equality Of opportunity to find
fulfillment free from the ty-
ranny of mental and physical en-.
slavement. This should not
sound SO strange to Americans
who are committed to the demo.
cratic tradition. What makes
the liberals position somewhat
unique is the reIglouS frame
work through which he oper-
ates. He frankly attempts to de-
velop his faith in harmony with
the disciplines Of science, the
arts and the humanities. AS to
the why or dynamic of our lib
eral direction-it results from
the attempt to believe in and
practice an absolute dignity of
the human personality. With
such a gospel, we cannot sit by
and wait for social evils, in this
case segregation, to work them
selves out. We must act and act
now to be worthy of our faith
in the inherent Divinity of all

NEW YORK. Dec. z CAP).-
Older people who tuned in to
NBC last night anticipating an
hour Of nostalgia and old
George NJ. Cohan songs had a
long wait. Although the Jimmy
Durante special was called

before little Eddie Hodges
looked up at Ray Bolger and
asked, who Is George M.
Cohan?"
Then, for q few minutes. we
had "Harrigan," MARY" and
a couple Of other Cohan songs,
which wound up what was
otherwise a typical Jimmy Du-
rante show. 1t was neither bet
ter nor worse than jimmy Du-
rante shows which have come
before it or, alas, those which
VIII follow 1t.
This is just dandy for peo-

Jimmy or leave him. 1t was Just
another musical mishmash.
Possibly one Of the most
stimulating shows Of the whole
season turned up at 1880 am.
yesterday on CHS when bits
from a dozen Broadway shows
were presented in "a Salute to

This was a purpoSeful salute
by the nti-Defamation League

human rights.

from an 1889 drama, "Octa-

the hero proposing marriage
to the lady Of his heart.
Alas" confided the tortured
heroin to the camera. He does
