These provisions are an ex-

Defense Contracts-The con

Dr.. Writers Appointment

The growing criticism of the operation of the
Montgomery County school system should have
SOLDERING influence in both DR.. c. Taylor Whittier and
members of the Board of Education.
Reports by the Boards Curriculum Study Com
mittee have revealed glarng deficiencies in teaching
methods. Teacher morale has dropped aarmingy.
And it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain
curate information from school officials
At the same time the Boards relationship with
other county agencies has deteriorated steadily with
an accompanying loss of prestige.
All this has contributed to groundswell of oppo-
son which calls for searching self-analysis by
the present school administration.
1t would be unfair to place all the blame for this
of schools he must obviously reflect the policies laid
down by the Board And if he were replaced, as de-
manded in some quarters the new school head would
be forced to follow those same policies
There is question: however, of his Responsibility
for at least portion of the criticism This necessarily
stems from his position chief administrator of the
school system. AS such he has failed to find and
maintain administrative assistance of the highest cali
bre. And he has failed to see that his subordnates
have provided prompt and accurate information to
those requesting it, including himself:
Conflicting figures and statements by members
of his staff have shaken the confidence of the public
in his ability to keep the taxpayers informed of exact
ly what is going on.
This matter of providing unbiased and accurate
data is particularly important in Montgomery County,
where the school budget large that almost defies
analysis by the average citizen without the assistance
of those who prepared it.
Consistently erroneous figures by school officials
can only arouse suspicion and resentment among a
citizenry which demands, and deserves the right to
receive accurate information about how and where
tax funds are used.
Meanwhile, the findings of the Curriculum Study
Committee have brought into sharper focus the excel
lent learning results achieved in the Amidon School in
the District of Columbia.
We do not know who is to blame for the refusal
OF our school authorities to even look at the Aidon
School practices to determine whether similar pro-
cedures would be practicable here It appears to U.S.
however, that this rigid rejection is not the kind of
attitude that is usually associated with education and
certainly not what the people want to see in those re-
sponsible for educating their children.
We believe Dr. Whittier and the School Board
see eye to eye on policy and procedure Therefore, it
is reasonable for this Board to reappont him Super
intendent for another four year term.
