School. Curriculum

I'VE would like to believe the recently appointed o.
~ member committee on curriculum plus hired con-
suant plus coordinator, plus many staff members of
the School Board presently employed will be in position
to submit worthwhile report that would reflect the u
mate in public school curriculum. The report is due
August l, 1861.
nittee might find itself overpowered by diversified opn-
ions deeprooted what ideal in the way of educa-
ton for children that the final results will be nothing
but watereddown compromise entirely too weak to be
effective acceptable for practical by the Board of
Education and the Superintendent of Schools.
Frankly, believe it is the duty of the seven men,
bers of the School Board to establish broad policy on
curriculum after complete reports have been given by the
Superintendent of Schools.
Our school system has employed at least three highly
paid experts in this field Dr. John Permenter hired
as Assistant Superintendent for instruction. Dr. William
a. Early employed as Director of Curriculum DeveI-
Qpment; DR. Rodney Timan became official Direc-
tor of Elementary Curriculum Development and there
large staff of welrained supervisors and teachers
We not opposed to citizens committees, but we
believe the School Board might have taken leaf from the
Board of Education of San Francisco engaged group
Of eight professors of academic subjects chosen with the
hep of their respective presidents from the University of
California and Stanford University for the purpose of
examining the curriculum and making recommendation to
San Francisco's schools
Our School Board would have done well to consider
Such team from Maryland University George Washing
ton Georgetown, Catholic University and American Uni
Sersy. AS matter of fact believe there has been
cooperative mathematics program sponsored by Mary
land University and School Board that has been quite
successful.
Such small committee of experts could make thor
ough study of present curriculum in various subjects in
much less time and much professional basis
1t is splendid idea to citizens to the need of
the very best curriculum obainabe but question the
wisdom of appointing such large group without real
power.
What is really important, it seems to us, is for the
people to know and understand just what the basic
thoughts curriculum of those establishing policy
And the policy is not to the liking of the majority Of
parents they do something about it. If It is satsfac
tory to most then they do something about that too

along comes Mr.. B. with an
idealistic sounding argument

He fails to mention that it is
against the law to starve

one on a life of crime. The
courts of law and public opin.

scores. Why then, should the
general public be saddled with
the damage young demon in

Charles Woodward, jr., who usually pulls the

Regular Democrats in Montgomery Coun

many thought But this is no reason to dis
regard this segment of the Party. BY the
same token, there is no reason to panic and
make lot of foolish compromises.
There is no doubt that the Liberal Move

They had professionally prepared litera-

enough votes to overcome Judge Ralph

nUITE lot of material that dees description crosses
~ an editors desk daily, and this week. got one that
stumped everybody for while.
Oh, it was easily defnable what the trade calls
-handout release but the things title harpooned the
eye.
! Title 'DATMOBAS ON SHAME PROGRAM"
Was it verbal throwback to the wacky 1905 and
4Os when unnteigble ditties the rage? Or could
be one OF those super-cue title like WAVES and SEA-
BEES and CARE which really artfully CD combined
initials that spell words synonymous with what they rep
resent?
But what in the world could "DATMOBAS ON
SHAME stand for? We found out and sure enough the
words were products of fetish sympomatic of Pena-
eon brassdom or govenmentalese, or both.
Meaning THE David Taylor Model Basin will be on
The tour agenda of the Society of Naval Architects and
Marine Engineers"
incidentally, the quotation marks around DATMO-
BIAS ON SHAME were ours. Writers of the release ap-
parenty assumed the expression would be instantly recog
nized for what 1t was (and was in senSe) and that il
needed no key punctuation.
Well, SO much for impotent rage at the initialers:
mats enough time wasted the breed that run things up
fiagpole lido they wave? drop things in wells ibid
splash? Let's get back to the terse realistic language
used by newspapers

like WEEP BARS HILL SPLIT" or f" NIX SLABS UK"

We reached decision at our
house recently which I'd like
to share with your readers.
1t all started with thoughts
about Memorial Day and those
to whom we'd be paying spe.
cial tribute. AS is true of so
many families these days, our
loved ones, living and dead, are
widely scattered over this land
of ours and the simple mechan-
les of decorating their various
resting places are not really
very simple at all.
AS we thought of those to
whom we'd wish to pay tribute.
we recalled that each of them
had been victim of some form
OF heart disease: my husbands
mother, my own mother. then
my husbands father all
within a few, short years. And
this is something 1 understand,
for | had my own heart attack
just six months ago.
And then / remembered a
conversation I'd had with my
physician in the hospital last
November, Doctor. I'm afraid
the Montgomery County Heart
Fund is going to lose an Area
Chairman this year" His re-
joinder was stern, Not at all.
You'll work harder because
you'll have a very REAL rea-
son."
These words came back to me
as we talked about Memorial
Day. "a very REAL reason"
and our decision was made. Our
tribute to the memory of our
loved ones everywhere would be
a gift to the Heart Fund. We'd
give a living memorial; dollars
live when you give.
We have a very warm and
happy feeling about our deci.
sion. We feel that, through our
gift, our parents will be- a liv-
ing part of the wonderful prog
ress being made against heart
disease the incredible. new
surgical techniques, and the new
diagnostic tools which pinpoint
diseases of the heart in time to
do something about them.
This then is the happy deci-
sion we'd like to share. We
even hope the idea may be fol.
lowed up. We hope it catches
on this life-givine gift :.
as a memorial.
Sincerely.

Letters to the Editor

He mentions child who com.
mits murder or rape. In both
cases a child is removed from
society and the public gladly
foots the bill. A parent who
loves his child pays in heart
break. One darned glad to be
rid of the child is also the kind
who would hate like the dickens
to pay for damages done to a
public building. This kind of a
person can only be set straight
through his pocketbook. He has
no conscience, heart, or pride,
nor sense of values to pass
along.
Montgomery County Citizens
gladly pay for services that at
tempt to cure vultures of this
kind. Mr.. B. suggests that the
culprit has the right to trans
NIT the disease to his child so
the child may spread it around

munity / hope and pray that
all of this sort soon move to a
place where they can live as
they please, and not inflict their

Three cheers for Judge

someday find a cure for all
negligent and delinquent par
ents.

Letter of Thanks

1t is with deep sense of
gratitude that the Maryland Di-
vision of the American Cancer
Society extends its heartfelt
thanks to the Montgomery
County Sentinel for its support
of the 1860 Cancer Crusade.
Over the years the Montgomery
County Sentinel has been most
generous in its support of the
Reseach, Education and Service
programs of the Society.
This year, more than ever,
the Society is indebted to you
for bringing the facts about
cancer to the public which en-.
abled a continued breakdown of
the barrier of ignorance and
fear so long associated with
cancer.
For this we are eternally
grateful
Sincerely,
Frank H. ]. Figge

styliZed courtesy that is the
mark of a great Cho-Cho-San.
She is a capable Cho-Cho-San
but nothing more - certainly
not the imported prima donna
that can dazzle the audience
and electrify the amateur sup
porting cast.
The prima donna is an old,
respected and meritorius tradi-
ton Of the operatic stage, but
I question whether Miss Mablin
is the right one for this part, or
whether the present produc-
ton, not put on, as our sum-
mer opera is, for money but for
the benefit of Washington
singers and the pleasure Of
Washington audiences, is in
need of any prima donna at
all.
The most interesting singers
in the show to my ears are Carl
Keiser, the Pinkerton; Marjory
Fuller, the Suzuki, William
Jennette, the Goro, and Donald
Boothman, the Sharpless. The
first has a strong, smooth and
very winning tenor voice which
he uses with fine musicianship;
the second shows great Sensiti-
witty of phraSing and a soft and
pleasing timbre. She quickly
overcome a nervous vibrate in
her early leads.
William Jennette sang we'll
and gave an excellent i'm
personation of Goro-ingratiat-
ing and useful, rather than
Servil and unctuous. Mr..
Boothman was a good Sharpless
whose performance was slightly
marred by what seemed to me
extraordinarily a m ateurish
makeup.
The direction of singing
actors is one of the most
difficult jobs known to the
stage. Usually the exact timing
is prescribed by the music and
the exigencies Of vocal produc-
