Locking for a Cure

THE County Council is sound ground in deciding to
look into the operation of the an-loitering law for
juveniles which went into effect recently in the District
of Columbia
The immediate cause of the councils action appears
to have been complaints of persistent teenage mscon
duct in and around the North Four Corners Recreation
Center. More than a of homeowners in the
suggested that law similar to that in the District be
enacted here as possible method of eliminating the
condition.
However, the councils decision stems from
than merely complaint Similar Incidents have been
reported in other sections of the county. And despite
the recreation facilities provided for them, many teen
ayers to prefer active forms of amusement
outside the centers with little thought to their
effect on Others.
In agreeing to study the anti-loiterng law in the
Nations Capital, the council has made commitment
what its final decision will be. This is wise. 1t may
be that other measures including assignment of addi
tional policemen to trouble centers and stern warnings
to youthful offenders would prove equally effective in
controlling the situation And the council may very well
decide to try these less drastic methods before going any
further.
But it is always helpful to learn from anothers ex-
perience under similar conditions. Accordingly the in
formation gained from the councils study should be
tremely valuable in guiding the county heads toward
proper course of action.
There those who will decry any move to restrict
teenagers on the ground that they should not be treated
differently from anyone else These largely the adj
vocates of togetherness" and of policy which seeks
almost exclusively to juvenile misbehavior the
psychiatrists couch
(, They also tell that the vast majority of young
sters are welbehaved intelligent members of society," and
that is unfair to clamp controls them because of
the sins of a few.
It is safe to say, however, that the well-behaved
ones will not suffer from any restrictions which may be
imposed since they will not be doing anything for which
they must be restricted. And it is better to risk dam
aging few youthful psyches than to permit the minority
to continue to run Wild

Lack Of Personnel
Policy Is GIaring
An Opinion

1t can be reported that there is among
some members of the Montgomery County
School Board real concern due to several
glaring deficiencies in administration proce-
dures within the system.
Many of you will recall in 1857 DIR.
Forbes Norris, Superintendent of Schools, was
not given a new contract because several
Board Members thought he lacked the neces.
sary administrative ability so important in
a school system as large as ours
One member in particular had long list
of weaknesses, chief among which was the
lack of definite policy, and the execution
thereof, in the personnel department
This same Board member freely admits
the situation in the personnel department to-
day is no better, and might be worse, than it
was in DR.. Norris administration.
The new Superintendent, DR.. c. TAYLOR
Whittier, was in office two years before he
moved to correct what several Board mem.
bers said was the weakest administrative
link. Either the situation was not as bad as
portrayed, or, DR.. Whittier was unable to
correct the so-called weakness
Finally, the Superintendent appointed the
late William Pyles, very able Principal but
inexperienced in personnel procedures, as Di-
rector of Personnel. However, it was under.
stood Mr. Pyles would take special training
in personnel management.
Mr.. Pyles was in office but few weeks
before his untimely death. Another vacancy
in this important department lasted from
October to January when the late Ed Bart
lett was appointed. He died after very
short time. And since there had been no
provisions made for an assistant, there was
no trained personnel manager to take over
From February, 1860, to this date, there

now stands there.
Ihere were streams where water mixes
lurked to catch the heel of young swim
mer to pull him beneath the waters into
murky realm. There were trees whose bark
contained some panied spirit that would
break out OF its fiberous jail and snatch an
innocent passer-by.
There were legends based upon some an.
cient fact Close by road known as "Vov.
ageur's Death" there stands tree of MANY
years. Long ago a Yankee was hanged
there. He was convicted of desertion from
the Union Army. He had taken only leave
to see his dying wife, who said to him. "John.
you must return" John returned to be tried
convicted, sentenced and hanged upon This
tree which still stands in Rockville But his
spirit is restless, and at night when the wind
is moaning and the moon is on the wan. one
may approach the tree and ask, John. John
