profession, somewhere.
1t may be in Florida where
Metzger owns land along a
lake just outside Fort Pierce.
Or he may take a jor as a

Wherever it is, you can be
sure of one thing-he and his

he's never stopped working

Graduate of Lafayette
After attending public

now, they're not nearly as
drastic as they used to be-"
Also, in replying to angry
citizens, Metzger follows the
saying, "A soft answer turn.
eth away wrath"
Metzger also has seen dras-
tic changes in another field in
which he was active. He was
a member of the Board of
Education from 1887 to 1916
and was its chairman for six
of those years.
Member Of School Board
1t was during his member
ship on the board that the
Montgomery Junior College
opened its doors for the first
time in temporary buildings
adjacent to Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School.
When he left the board,
there were about $1,000 public
school children. The present
figure is around $4,000.
While hesitant to enter into
any controversy over school
operations, Metzger believes
the present system should
place more emphasis on the
basic fundamentals of educa-
ton.
THE training of the mind
should be the schools major
function" he emphasized.
He also feels that in the in
terest of economy and better
administration, all vocational
facilities should be centralized
in one school, instead of be-
ing scattered throughout all
school buildings.
II tried to do that as a
School Board member and /
still think it's a good idea" he
asserted. Under centralized
system of vocational training,
students would get more in
tensive instruction in the fields
in which they are interested,
instead of just a smattering
in each school. In addition,
1t would be much more eco
nomical to have all such ia
cilities in one school, rather
than placing them in all
schools"
