 There are just two simple steps:
 Repeal or the 18th Amendment that IS, income, gift, and inheri- tance taxes.
 The second IS to get the Govern ment out of private business.
 HOW DOES THIS WORK?

An Editorial
Awakening Spirit

Apparently the Montgomery County Board of
Education has begun to realize its true and important
functon-that of formulating all policy with clarity
and certainty.
BY vote of six to one Tuesday, the Board voted
to abandon all action and all discussion of the 124
school year plan promulgated some months ago by
DR.. c. Taylor Whittier, Superintendent of Schools.
Although DIR. Whittier threw out this plan to the
Board and the public without full data of the pros
and cons the Board learned enough through public
action to prompt decisive action.
Citizens of this county will welcome this display of
vigorous leadership the part of the School Board.
1t is fresh breeze long needed in this sphere
of influence.
For any policy making public body to surrender
its power to the administrative branch of the organ
ization is dangerous thing. And for some reason,
the Superintendent had slowly but surely usurped
many of the responsibilities which rghtfuly belong
to the Board of Education.
We believe the end of this era is near, if not, in
deed, ended.
We applaud further the newborn strength of
leadership so evident at Tuesdays meeting when the
Board turned thumbs down on DR.. Winters plan to
enlarge on the so-called Monocacy summer program.
The Board would have no part of any overnight
camping-out summer school program for next year.
This newspaper could not be happier over the turn
of events.

Education has the sole responsibility of establishing
policy after it has gained full information on all as
poets of situation. And after this policy has been
established it is then the responsibility of the Super
intendent of Schools to carry out There should be
no confusion concerning the responsibilities of each.
And each should guard his prerogatves with vigor.
With this new awakening spirit of its important
community role, the Montgomery County Board OF
Education is expected to go forward in its study Of
curriculum with determination to give to this county
the best in education

major points from both board members and

That grouping students by ability

modate youngsters in varying stages of prep.
aration for secondary instruction.
That too many junior high school
