Proposed For Schools
Stop Experimentation Now;
Step Up Learning Programs
Whittier Suggests
Changes for Subjects

Montgomery Coun ty' S
school children at all levels
may be exposed to stepped
up programs of reading, Eng
fish and math instruction
next year under priority curric-
ulum recommendations made to
the School Board this week.
A heavier summer study pro.
gram for teachers, smaller
classroom sizes for first-grad-
ers and a longer school day for
some high-schoolers also ap-
peared in prospect for the next
school year under proposals
presented by School Supt. C..
Taylor Whittier.
His recommendations, made
in support of many presented
by a special advisory Curricu-
lum Study Committee this past
summer, were offered to the
board for their consideration in
connection with the budget for
the 1928 school year.
Whittier said he would like
to include funds to carry out his
priority recommendations in
next years budget
Through intensive summer
workshop training, he told the
board, he would like to provide
specially trained staff" for
grade schools, high schools and
the junior college for "rapid
and effective reading instruc-
ton"
In addition, he proposed ask
ing all first-grade teachers, plus
all second-grade teachers new
to the county schools, to report
two weeks early each fall to
study new methods of math
and reading instruction in spe-
cial workshops.
The year after this proposal
is adopted, he suggested, all
second-grade teachers, plus all
new first and third-grade teach
ers would be asked to partici-
pate in the workshop. This pro-
gression by grades would con.
tinue each summer, he said, so
that by the third year all new
elementary sch DOL teachers
would have participated.
Reduction of the size of Eng.
lish classes in several junior
and senior high schools is also
sought by DR.. Whittier ito de-
termine the effect of reduced
pupil load on teaching tech
niques and student learning"
This would be an experimental
program, lasting four or five
years.
Seeks Research
He similarly seeks a four or
five-year research program to
determine the value of reducing
the size of first-grade classes to
20 from the present average OF
80 pupils.
Whittier said he would like to
extend the school day one hour
in selected senior high schools
next year, ito permit a choice
of a six or seven-period day.
by students. "Such an arrange
ment would require additional
staff and would, therefore, need
to be planned on a limited
basis" the school superinten
dent said.
Extension of library service
to all elementary and secondary
schools in the county and estab
lishment of a minimum of al
least 10 books per student in
school Libraries also is recon-
mended.

ON THE SUBJECT Of Kenya's
independence, Sir Patrick told the
Kenya African Democratic union
and the Kenya African National
union (KADU and KANU) that
their timetable Of setting Feb. 1,
1862, as the date for complete in
dependence was ''unrealistic and
impracticable." However, the Gov
ernor said this would not prevent
Kenya's leaders from moving as
fast as they could towards internal
self government and eventual in

ON THE EXPANSION of the
police force, Sir Kerr said the pres
ent strength of $4,000 and the 5000
members Of the local government
police in Nigeria was being in
creased at the rate Of 1000 police
men annually. He said the present
numerical strength was inadequate
for 35 million people. Speaking on
the Southern Cameroons' proposal
to withdraw their nationals from
the Nigerian police force, Sir Kerr
said that approximately $50 Cam
erooians who were formerly under
the Nigerian force in the territory
had decided to join their home
government service. He said about
so per cent Of the nationals now
serving in the police force in Nj
geria proper indicated their desire
to go home.
THE ZANZIBAR government
has started discussions with the
British government to set a date
for a round-table conference in
London on independence. Sheikh
Mohammed Shamte, the islands
chief minister, has warned opposi-
ton members that II their pleas
for a general election were grant
ed, independence could be delayed
for two years. He said both sides of
the House would be represented at
the London conference and he urg-
ed the opposition to cooperate
with the government in presenting
a united front at the talks.

THIS NJ THAT
By Hazel Underwood

LET Love Speak
How often does some strange reserve within
Our hearts forbid us-lest someone may hear
Words Of affection, we dare not begin
Unto friend whom we hold very dear
We go through life in a complete disguise,
With our true feelings ever well concealed
Withholding from our friends the glad surprise
That they would cherish, were our love revealed
And then that sad day win eventuate
When our beloved has silently withdrawn
From those too colby careful here to state
The deep affection held for one now gone
So speak your love now, lest some panied duress
Comes back one day to taunt your loneliness.

Spokesman for the Kennedy ad-
ministration have asserted repeat
eddy that its basic civil rights
strategy is to refrain from press
ing for legislation and to rely on
executive action.
President Kennedy himself made
clear to a delegation from the
NAACP annual convention, July
IL, that his policy did not include
legislative action at this time.
The report originated in a con-
ference which Mr.. Wilkins and Mr..
Aronson had last February 6 with
the then President-elect Kennedy.
There followed a White House
meeting in February with top Pres
idential advisers at which time
Theodore Sorenson, special coun-
sci to the President, requested a
detailed memorandum on discrim-
nation in Federal programs with
a view to corrective executive ac-
ton.

headed by Mr.. wilkins who Is also
executive secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement

KENYA's INTER-PARTY con-
stitutional conference decided to
ask British Colonial Secretary lain
Macleod to take action to eFable
Jome Kenyatta to enter the COL
ony's Legislative Council. Macleod
will be asked to introduce the
power Of discretion, vested in the
Governor, Sir Patrick Remission, in
consultation with the Council Of
Ministers, to remove in individual
cases the disqualification Of per-
sons who have served more than
two years in prison. Kenyatta's at
tending the constitutional confer
ence was also raised to constitu-
tional talks at Government House.
It was agreed that the nationalist
leader should not attend but should
be kept informed Of the confer
ence's progress and decisions. Sir
Patrick has pointed out that even

store to buy groceries. You should
have seen her trying out the veg
etables". She squeezed them and
looked at them and told the
clerk" If he didn't have better
things she would have to go some
place else. He told her that was
all he had and she couldn't go
any place else because none Of the
others had a store!
Soon they were quarrelling and
that ended that game. But by this
time Edith, aged three, had start
ed what she had thought would
be a nice game Of playing in the
dirt: making mud pies and cakes.
Bobbie had his idea of a nice game
and he started throwing the dirt on
the others. Soon there was dust
and dirt going in all directions,
most Of it in each others hair.
Susan, who did not want to get
her hair full Of dust ran away.
When she came back she had
some cookies her mother had given
her and soon the children had for
gotten all of their differences. AS
they sat there eating you couldn't
help but compare them to their
elders.
How wonderful it would be If
adults could get together and set
tie their differences and make
up. Left alone, children, for the
most part, settle all of their prob
lens. True, they will quarrel and
fight but when the fight is over,
they will walk arm in arm back
home.
Some years ago two boys slapped
little girl. Her older brother, too
old to get into the fight, slapped
both Of the little boys. The two
mothers got into the argument and
from that day to this have not
been friends. The afternoon Of the
fight all Of the children in the
fight were playing happily togeth-
er.
The wives were even small
enough to try to persuade their
husbands to quit speaking. For
four years the mothers did not
