races did not seem to disturb
them"

District School Supt. Carl
F. Hansen has released test
scores showing that eighth
graders here are below average
in their achievement levels.
But. the superintendent point
ed out at his press conference
yesterday. these low levels are
nevertheless higher in all sub
jects than they were for the
eighth grade class five years
ago.
I'm satisfied that we are
making significant progress, "
DR.. Hansen said. He noted that
the school population has been
steadily changing, with the
more favored youngsters NOV
ing to the suburbs and being
replaced by children of more
limited background and poten-
tial.
Wide 10 Range
The superintendent said it
would be unusual" if District
youngsters ever reach the ma
tional normS ii achievement
because the schools do not have
typical dt5trib ltion of pupils.
His views were supported by
another set of test results re-
leased yesterday dealing with
the los of ninth graders this
past year. The los of individ-
ual students ranged from 155-
considered very Superior"-to
SIS, which is very inferior.
The median, or middle point
for this ninth grade class, how
ever, was 95. This is considered
low average" and is five points
lower than the national aver
age 10 of 100.
Such an 10 pattern almost
precludes the possibility of
reaching national averages in
achievement, according to DR..
Irene c. Hypps. assistant super
intendent for pupil appraisal.
DR.. Hansen said that the
eighth grade achievement
scores at least approach the
national average" He also
noted they gave distinctly
clear evidence" that many Dis
trict children, despite the low
class average, are continuing to
achieve "at the highest possible
levels - far above national
normS."

According to the results of
the tests, which were given last

Metro Area
AgeLimitof Of IL
Proposed for
Area Drivers
Traffic Council
Moves Aimed at
Virginia Action

The Metropolitan Area Traf-
fic Council has asked that the
minimum age for drivers in
the Washington area be set at
16.
AS adopted in a resolution
yesterday, the recommendation !
would not ban drivers under
16 having permits from other
jurisdictions. The proposals
asks that they not be issued
permits in the Metropolitan
area.
The proposal is aimed at
Northern Virginia areas where
Jurisdictions with more than
5000 population can set their
own minimum driver age limit.
The authority was granted by
the last Virginia assembly.
Enforcement Aide
The District and Maryland
already have a 16-year mini
mum age limit. A uniform age
limit would facilitate traffic
age enforcement, traffic coun-
Gil spokesman said.
Referred back to the councils
enforcement committee was
resolution supporting recipro-
cal agreements for summonses
and citations following ar
rests for traffic violation.
A motorist arrested outside
his home Jurisdiction. would
be issued a summons or cita-
tion rather than forced to
to drive to a police station.
Those failing to respond to
such summons in court later
would have their driving priv
ileges suspended in the juris-
diction where they were
ticketed.
Maryland State Police Capt. |
Matt. Bunke expressed doubts
that the system could work
without a large amount of
bookkeeping and clerical work
done by police.
Proposal Hailed
The proposal is a worth
while step toward a desired
regional approach to traffic
law programs. said Municipal
Court Judge D. Nelson.
He noted in this respect,
judges have surveyed penalties
and collaterals in the area and
are working toward a uniform
approach at this level.
Council members approved
formation of an Automobile

tee. The members of the group
to be named later will study
legislation for automobile in
spection in Maryland and ex-
