that such was not the case.

The Alexandria School Board
last night failed to recommend
a compulsory school attendance
law when asked to do so by
one of its members.
This means Alexandria prob
ably will begin the fall school
term with children under no
legal requirement to attend
classes.
Legislation passed by an
emergency session of the Vir-
ginia General Assembly last
April specifies that local school
boards must indorse the COM
pulsory attendance law before
local governing bodies can
adopt it.
Mrs. Dan Kerbel proposed
that the board recommend its
adoption, but no other board
member seconded her motion
Chairman Robert c. Howard
indicated that before schools
open in September the board
might again consider the law
or some other means of pro-
noting school attendance.
However, after the meeting
four board members told a re-
porter they oppose the measure
and would vote against it.
Mrs. Kerbel made her motion
after pleas from Stanley King
chairman of the Alexandra
Committee for Public Schools
and Walter Williams who rep
resented the Charles Barrett
PTA.
Explaining his position, board
member Thomas Dyson said:
I'm against a compulsory
education law for several rea-
sons. I think education should
be sought, not rammed down
someone's throat. A child is
not a creature of the State, it
is creature of its parents. If

teacher, Richard Davis, princi-
pal of Broad Acres Elementary
in Silver Spring.
The "HOw" of Sound Shown
Right now we're showing
them the how of sounds" Mr..
Davis said. Later on, We
hope they'll be able to do re-
search on their own of 'why?'.
Through study, they may
learn to understand that sound
is a vehicle for many other
things" Mr.. Davis said. They'll
develop a concept of working
in a group and doing their
own reading and research. We
want them to understand that
rewards are not necessarily
Immediate, but long-term."
DR.. Norris Haring, co-ordi-
nator of special education for
the University of Maryland,
said the workshop children will
not be graded on their work.
| But we will let them know
how they are progressing" he
said. I'VE want to help them
enjoy learning for itself and
not for grades"
Teachers enrolled in courses
at the university visit the four
classes to observe how the
gifted children are being taught.
"If there is just one highly
intelligent child in a room with
80 or IS of average ability,
there must be a special ap-
proach to that one," DR.. Haring
said. HE must be given OPP
portunitieS to do his own re-
search, and to supplement
what the rest of the class is
studying. OF course he can
contribute a great deal to the
class discussion, too. Our Job
is to show the various ways of
setting up instruction for
groups of gifted children-even
II the group consists of Just
one"
Guest Speakers Invited
Most of the children live
near North Bethesda because
of convenience in transporta-
ton. Glasses will continue
through July 81, with a list
of guest speakers which in
cludeS authorities in education.
The workshop teachers OBJ
serve children being taught
until 1870 am. each day, then
meet to discuss what they have
seen. Speakers are scheduled
for each afternoon, with time
set aside for study and evalua-
ton.
I'VE provide teachers with
actual experience in unique
teaching methods with unique
materials" DR.. Haring said.
The sky is the limit on what
these children of exceptional
ability can learn, and our
primary purpose is to show
teachers the best approach"
