Wick Byron's Column

There has been much discussion and
acclaim by educators and others of the
Amidon teaching plan designed and put into
effect last year in one school in the District
Of Columbia by Superintendent of Schools DIR.
Carl F. Hansen
While there is nothing new to the teach
ing methods, it spells out in no uncertain
terms an educational philosophy held by DIR.
Hansen and admired by so many teachers and
principals. AS a matter of fact, 100 District
principals have adopted the Amidon Plan for
use in their schools.
Charles F. James candidate for the
School Board in the last election visited the
Amidon School and gave an excellent report
of what he saw. This account appeared in
last Tuesdays edition of The Sentinel It's
well worth reading.
This whole Amidon School situation
brings to mind couple of interesting ques-
tons that our Montgomery County School
Board and the Superintendent might like to
answer
While the school system right next door
to us has formulated a concrete philosophy
of education and the best methods of teach
ing, our officials have practically ignored the
Amidon Plan We are curious to know why
there hasn't been enough interest shown on
the part of our officials to at least see what
the Amidon School is all about? DR.. Charles
Taylor Whittier Superintendent; Robert E.
Morrow and Harold Breimyer of the Board
of Education; along with Crescent Bride, ply
steal education director, and Forest Gustafson,
director of recreation went to Flint, Michigan
two years ago to look over what was de-
scribed as its community schools" This
shows willingness to travel afar to get ideas
from other school systems.
Furthermore, while DR.. Hansen put into
effect what he and the D. c. Board of Educa-
ton thought to be the best possible method
Of teaching the fundamentals our Superin
tendent of School and the School Board have
devoted countless hours and untold dollars to
numerous school and citizen committees in an

Interest In Budget

Whether or not one agrees with the combined
viewpoint of our county chambers of commerce con-
corning the school budget there is for citizens
and officials to be encouraged that four such worthy
bodies have made sincere study of the budget and
have up with what they believe to be construc
tive suggestions.
The chambers are against new budget items such
as increases in non-teachng personnel fringe benefits,
reorganization coordination, additions to maintenance
forces, etc.
1t must be pointed out that the chambers are not
against spending for education if the spending adj

dren But the members of the trade groups said they
challenge budget request that is up Is percent when
new student enrolments to be increased by only
73 percent next year.
The chambers said the imbalance is growing too
rapidly between direct and indirect aids to pupil edu
cation. Then they pointed out a few of these:
The cost of the Institutional staff rose from
S13,759,195 in 1888 to $30447819 in 196061 for
an increase of 1912 percent.
The total number of UNCONSTITUTIONAL en-
ployes rose from 1885 in 1888 to 2O59 in 196O61
for an increase of 542 percent
0 The cost of UNCONSTITUTIONAL staff rose during
the period from 4750 30 to $7256 344 for in
crease of 108 percent.
The chambers went on to say this ratio of direct
to indirect per pupil costs continues, it will cost $500
year by 1865 to- send child to school in Montgom-
cry County
There is no way of knowing what the seven mem
bes of the County Council will do with the proposed
school budget following the two public hearings sched
uled for March q and % at Broome Junior High
School, but there indications that substantial cuts
will be made.
Members of the County Council like members of
the four chambers of commerce. seem to be vitality in
terested in providing public funds to support the best
available educational instruction and facilities. They
aren't interested, however, in approving an over
stuffed budget that has too many "frills."
The signs seem to point to an adequate school
budget. And this should be good news to all except
the spenders who advocate spending for the sake of
spending

effort to come up with an answer of what
should be taught and how it should be taught
in county schools.
1t is time for the School Board and DR..
Whittier to decide upon philosophy of edu-
cation and to put it into effect. There have
been too many words and entirely too much
generalization expressed.
DR.. Whittier is a highly educated man.
He has gathered about him highpaid admin
istrators in every field of education. He and
his associates should be able to make intel
Hgent recommendations concerning all phases
of education, including curriculum. And the
Board should be able to rely on recommended
tons given by the administrators through
the Superintendent and act upon them with
out delay.
There are indications from every corner
of Montgomery County that there is feel
ing of Illustration not only among teachers
but among parents. Even the businessmen
of the county are beginning to interest them
selves into the affairs of our educational sys-
tenn.
Because there is this feeling of uncer-
tainty, however, there is no reason to believe
that our school system is altogether bad. 1t
is just that there is lacking feeling of
soundness objectivity, pride and goals And
this might all stem from the fact that
definite philosophy of education has never
been established by this School Board or the
Superintendent of Schools.
The real worth of the Anidon Plan and
probably the reason it has been so enthusiast
tically accepted by so many D. c. principals,
stems from the fact that it is definite and
it establishes a professional leadership that
seems to be lacking here in the county.
1t provides enthusiasm and everyone
knows that enthusiasm is like measles - if
you haven't got it you can't give it
DR.. Whittier and his close advisors and
members of the School Board would do well
to take the time and trouble to ride into
town and see what the Amidon Plan is all
about. We are quite sure DR.. Hansen would
welcome the visit

Conditions have come to pretty pass when the
lines OF iaison between the County Council and the
county delegation to the General Assembly have so
deterorated that the Council finds itself unable to APP
prove an important local bill because of its unfamiliar
ity with the measure.
Such was the on Tuesday when the county
heads voted to disapprove legislation designed to
create chief clerk to the three Peoples Courts
OF the county - apparently delegation-sponsored
measure about which the council professed to know
nothing.
The disapproval was voiced not so much as an ex-
preston of opposition born of conviction but as pro-
test against the delegations failure to apprse the
council of its intention to introduce such measure
and to give the council full details about why the bill
was deemed to be desirable In this respect we are
somewhat in sympathy with the council, athough-if
there really is merit to the proposal-we wonder if
the council followed wise in rejecting it sim
ply as an expression of resentment.
We don't know enough about the bill to say
whether it actually is good bill. And we don't know
Just how strongly the impact of the councils opposi-
ton will be felt in Annapolis But we are sure that
there can be tragic results if any legislation of pote

ANNAPOLIS, March 20
This is the season when things
move rapidly at Annapolis.
With only two weeks of the
session remaining, every bill
has an urgent label on it. And
I am putting a dateline on this
column to remind you that the
situations which / write about
on Monday morning may be
completely obsolete by the
time you read these words.
Take, for instance, House
Bill 604, which is the only ac-
tive reapportionment bill as
of this writing.
Early last week it was given
a favorable report by the
House Judiciary Committee by
a healthy vote of 10 to II, with
Montgomery's Alger Barbee
and Charley Woodward among
the majority.
Then on Wednesday the bill
came to the House floor, and
the opposition started the long
process of offering amend
ments and moving that the
bill and the amendment "lie
over" for one day. This pro-
cedure is permitted under
House Rule No. AZ, which was
presumably designed to pro-
tect the House from the sud-
den imposition of long and
confusing amendments which
no one had had a chance to
read. In the present context,
the rule is simply being
abused.
An Eastern Shore Delegate
offered an amendment that
would have limited Baltimore
City to one State Senator,
rather than the six which it
now has. On motion of an
other Eastern Shoreman, the
bill and the amendment were
ordered to lie over for one day.
On Thursday you could feel
the mood of the House was
favorable to our cause. The
Eastern Shore amendment was
knocked off quickly. Then an
other amendment was offered
not from the Eastern
Shore. but from Prince
Georges County of all places
:. and specifically at the de-
mand of the Committee for
Fair Representation. Delegate
Sickles had been entreated not
to play into the hands of the
opposition by offering his

amendment (automatic reap
portionment after every decen-
NAL census), but he was deter
mined to follow the orders of
the Committee.
Sure enough, a Shoreman
moved that the Sickles amend
ment lie over for a day under
Rule AZ. Delegate Jerome
Robinson ID, 9TH Balto.) re-
sponded with an impassioned
plea that the House stop abus-
ing the rules and bring the is
sue to a vote. He moved that
Rule AZ be suspended very
drastic action requiring a two.
thirds majority, or 81 votes.
When the roll call was taken
on Robinson's motion. there
were "a votes in favor of it,
thus suspending Rule AZ. That
moment was the high water
mark for reapportionment so
far. Sickles' amendment was
defeated, with only II mem.
bers voting for it.
Then Delegate Charles Coss
3D., Washington. who had
also been urged by reappor-
tionment proponents not to
rock the boat, insisted on Of
fering another high-minded
but ill-timed amendment. This
one would have inserted aboli-
ton of the county unit voting
system into the reapportion-
ment bill.
Once again an Eastern
Shoreman moved that the
amendment lie over for a day.
and once again Jerome Robin
son moved suspension of the
rules. But the crest had
passed. He could only get IA
votes-eight short of the nee.
essary two-thirds majority.
On Friday the Coss amend
ment was dispatched quickly,
but the Eastern Shore Delega.
ton had caucused that morn
ing and it was now ready with
whole pile of frivolous
amendments. Fridays lie-over
motion was on an amendment
that would allot seats in the
House on the basis of the num-
Der of square miles in each
county!
Thursday was definitely the
high point. The Shoremen
were caught without any more
amendments drafted and MINI
eographed, as required by the
rules. If Sickles and Coss
could have restrained them
selves, the bill would probably
have passed the House before
the end of the week.
We beat off our enemies In
the Thursday voting, but we
could not protect ourselves
against our friends" That's
the way the cookie crumbles.
The Frostburg Bill

been settled one way or an.
other by the time you read this

versity of Maryland. Along
