Leonard Maurer's absorb

NV, through Wednesday,
deserves the visitors time not
only to look at the drawings,
but to read the artists in
formative labels, explaining
various techniques. He has
tried to show as many varie-
ties as possible in the limited
space.
His drawings in cross
hatch, he says. have devel-
oped from experiments he
began many years ago, and
to which he has given most
of his effort in the past two
years. Contrary to popular
assumption, he does not be-
gin these with an Idea" in
mind, but watches for the
subject to appear in the
"darkening web" his hand
creates. Some of the sub
jects are realistic. others
nonfigurative.
Chairman of Mount YER

partment since 1852, Mr..
Maurer is also in charge Of
children's classes at the Cor
coran School. He is a fine
arts graduate of American
University, also studied at
the Corcoran School and
Phillips Gallery. He partici-
pates actively in exhibitions.
He has received six awards In
Corcoran area ANIMALS, also
has been represented in
Corcoran biennials, and ma
tional exhibitions elsewhere

most recent one-man show

Stanley B. Frosh, one of the four new
horsemen on the County Council, is perhaps
the least vocal of the sevenman body He
slouches in his chair, sends clouds of pipe

time.

burst of rhetoric that commands silence. He
did it again Tuesday

This is up to the Council, body respon.

Council is the body to take the temperature

policies and goals which should be Interpreted

Cause of the eruption was Frosh's feeling

To plumb the public on these issues, he
would hold several public hearings so the
Council could null over the issues and arrive
at future landuse policies
But how much public feeling do you need
to sample? The Planning Commission holds
public hearings before it adopts master plans
The Council does the same before it makes up
its minds on what the Commission forwards
Isn't that enough?
And not only does the Council have the
power to turn thumbs up or down on coming
Observation-Disclosures bits and pieces of
overall develOpment-but they can veto any
master plan the Commission sends them.
1t is public record that the Council to date
has gone along with more than so per cent of
the recommendations of the Planning Commits
sion. This does not indicate any pressing
need for realignment of planning protocol.
The present practice of skilled profession
al planners coming up with a theoretically.
good plan and then the holding of hearings
by the planning commission which is some
what more insulated from public opinion than
are the elected Council members, would seem
to be sound one. When the Council gets the
plan from the planners, it is a theoretical
blending Of the opinions Of the scientific plan
ners and of the public. And then the Council
still has the option of changing it. What's so
bad about that?

The County PTA's FILES (Foreign
Language in Elementary Schools) program
was national pioneer in this field. Although
FILES was begun outside of school hours
language training now is being incorporated
into the regular school program starting in
the third grade. The goal: an intensive 10.
year language program for all students cap.
able of handling it.
Foreign language labs operated in vir.
tually all secondary schools here last year, and
the exceptions have now been removed In
fact, two elementary schools have laboratories
this year.
The "new concept" of teaching mathe.
mates has been tried, with apparent great
success in pilot projects here. Only the need
to train more teachers stands in the way of its
use throughout the county.
Algebra already is being taught in the
eighth grade here.
Several proposals are in the wind for
increasing the academic offerings to high
schoolers. A 12-month school program, adopt.
ed in principle by the school board, may be
one of the best ways of doing it.
All in all, it would appear that our school
heads have been aggressive and imaginative
in their future planning. This has not always
been easy, since any innovation inevitably of.
tends those who believe the old ways are good
enough.
But perhaps we should be thankful for
such controversy. Between our imaginative
administrators and our vocal public, we can be
relatively confident that ours will not become
case of the bland leading the bland.
