More On Monococy

We visited the Monocacy School this week and
left more convinced than that this highly touted
Board of Education project is nothing more than
nature center
cornfield third group stunning strings: Such ac-
tvities can hardly be cited as justification for spend
ing public funds to take youngsters on a two-week
camping trip.
True, most of those enrolled in this back to nature
adventure pay $40 fee But this is obviously far from
enough to pay for all the expenses, including teacher
salaries food and lodging. The rest must necessarily
come out of general tax funds
Why does the School Board feel compelled to as
sign teachers and spend public money to carry on this
pleasant and entertaining but entirely unnecessary
project?
Does the board fear that parents are incapable of
taking their children to the park to nearby farm?
Why do our school officials insist taking the
functions of the family?
Surely there are more important things to do in
education than to show children how to find worms
under rock or to take teachers time to point out
a cornfield.
Supt. of Schools C. Taylor Whittier talks of
placing and more teachers a 12-month salary
basis Is this the only way he think of to make use
of teachers talents to justify the 12month salary?
Perhaps there are satisfactory answers to these
questions. We would like to believe that somewhere,
somehow, someone in the Board of Educators top
heavy bureaucratic structure has the answers and
give them in understandable English. So far how
ever, our search has been unsuccessful.
It is difficult to equate this emphasis on nature
study with the urgent need to turn out more engineers
more scientists more students with minds capable of
coming up with bold, original ideas.
This is the challenge which our educational sys-
TEN faces. And Montgomery County, with its highly
terate citzenry should take the lead in its school
system to meet this chalengenot to fritter away its
time and effort in Summer camp.
Let's not weaken education's primary aims by
trying to take parents responsibilities Families
still go to the ZOO to the park to the woods and to
farms. They do these things families, not part
of formal educational program

The AnnuaI Supper

If past performance is an accurate indication of
the future the annual supper of the Montgomery Gen.
eral Hospital next week should be smashing success
And it deserves to be. This most worthy enter
prise for most worthy institution deserves the whole
hearted support Of every Montgomery County citizen
This excellent hospital has grown with the county
1t has steadily expanded its facilities and staff as the
population has expanded Although located near
Olney it serves all sections of the county
Like all hospitals, however, it must depend on the
people it for financial assistance to meet con-
stanty rising costs.
Fortunately the friends Of the Montgomery Gen.
eral Hospital legion and their generosity unsur-
passed But this should not serve as an excuse for
any of us to stop helping.
The hospitals needs are no less acute merely be-
cause it has many loyal supporters 1t is up to all
of to translate into reality the words of encourage
ment which we utter so often but which SO many of
us fail to back up with deeds.

The School Board is playing with fire in rubber
stamping Dr. c. Taylor Whittiers proposal to extend
his teacher merit pay plan.
Officials of the Montgomery County Education
Association have warned that the teachers bitterly
opposed to the plan. And even Dr. Whittier has con-
ceded that he has received many protests
The superintendent stubborn insiStence on con-
tinung the plan can only damage teacher morale and
result in state of mind among instructors which can
hardly be conducive to good teaching.
This newspaper has received complaints even
from those teachers who have benefited financially
from the plan. And it is obvious that resentment is
mounting among those who have not been chosen to
receive premium pay.
Nowhere else in the country, to our knowledge
has such program been carried on successfully.
Some have tried it but have abandoned the expert
ment Why, then, should Montgomery County teach
ers be made the guinea pigs in similar experiment
here?
We hope, and expect that all of our teachers are
good. 1t is manfestly unfair to single out few for
extra pay merely on the basis Of few observations
by classroom supervisors

Duplication of Effort

The County Councils decision to hold additional
public hearings on three Park and Planning Commits
sion master plans must be due to the heat
There is no other rational explanation for the
Councils announcement Tuesday that it plans to re-
peat what already has been done fully ard exhaustive
ly by the planning agency.
The only voice of sanity and reason came from
Council President William F. Hickey who apty de-
scribed the majority action duplication of effort"
and total waste of time.
AS far as we recall, this is the first time the
county heads have ever held public hearing on
master plan which has been adopted by the commits
sion after its own prolonged public hearings
Just what the Council hopes to accomplish by this
redundant and repetitive procedure is hard to see
Those who will appear before the Council on the three
plans have already testified before the Planning Com
mission Their views were taken into consideration by
the Commission when the plans were finally adopted
The planning agency is now preparing sectional
zonlng map amendments to realize the aims Of the
master plans. When these amendments come before
the Council public hearings will be held on the pro-
posed coming changes. Why then is it necessary or
even desirable to hold hearings now? Certainly moth
ing new will be brought out which was not brought
out at the Commission hearings.
Under the law, only the Planning Commission has
authority to prepare and adopt master plans If we
assume the Council as result of its own public hear
ings, will recommend changes in the master plans the
entire matter must go back to the planning agency
for final action The planners then would have to hold
public hearings again before approving any changes
and the plans once more would be forwarded to the
County Council.
What is to stop the Council at that time from de-
Gliding to hold more public hearings and return the
plans to the Commission for an endless round of hear
ings?
The Councils irresponsible action thus assumes
the aspect of episode in Alice in Wonderland
Montgomery County residents certainly deserve more
consideration from their elected representatives
We hope the county heads will listen to their
president and reconsider their hasty and consdered
action.

IntoIerobIe Sifucficn

1t is evident that something is lacking in the pro-
cedures of the Montgomery County Board of Appeals
This was brought to light again this week when
decision was reached concerning the renewal of
nursing home license
renewal was denied last year by the Health
Department and the Department of Inspection and
Licenses after it had been determined that nursing
home in Potomac had basic deficiencies with respect
to the food, nursing staff and records Furthermore
apparently nothing done to correct these de-
fclencies. Therefore new license to operate was
denied The owner appealed this decision to the
Board of Appeals.
long drawn-out legal battle began.
The first hearing was held December %, 1860.
Subsequent hearings were held February 16 and
2S March and June 15 A
month later the Board made its decision And to
show the tremendous verbiage resulting from this
case, the court reporter required to take more
than $50 pages of testimony
During these many months of legal entangle-
ments, the nursing home continued to operate And
1t is not known whether not the old folks living
there were suffering or not We hope they were not

the elderly or for anything where the welfare of
human beings is factor should be expedited in
a matter of days or weeks instead of months.
The interminabe delays in this case should be
reason enough for an immediate launching of study
by proper authorities with view to correcting an
intolerable situation.

The Promotions

Montgomery County has been fortunate in hav-
ing one of the finest Police Departments in the
try 1t is so recognized by National and State au-
thorities
Much Of the credit for the excellent record es-
tabished by this important department of our local
government belongs to the men in uniform who over
the years have taken pride in their work.
County officials long ago established the policy
of political hands-off far using influence is
concerned. This along with intelligent management
and system of recognition by promotions has helped
carve an enviable record for the men of the Mont
gomery County Police Department.
To those men given promotions extend hardy
congratulations and to the County Police Officers as
a group we add word of thanks for the outstanding
public service they provide for small compensation,
with great personal dangers ever present and with
very little praise.

David Hume has announced for the Gov

Of course it is a bitter pill for a man
who has staked his whole life on being Gov
ernor of Maryland to suddenly realize that
his first term as the Chief Executive has not
been as successful as he had dreamed
Some observers continue to say that Gov
ernor Tawes could, if he so desires, make a
spectacular political comeback by barking a
little in the right direction. But the barking
would have to be backed up by drastic action.
Whether or not the Governor believes it is
worth the effort is something no one seems
to be willing to say.
At any rate, don't be too surprised to see
David Hume issue lot of statements, travel
around Maryland discussing politics with any.

There has been quiet effort on the part
of some to get the various chambers of COM

County to combine in order to make one
LARGE and powerful county chamber of com.

In theory this might appear to be good
idea. But it won't work. 1t wouldn't work
for the simple reason that Silver Spring
Wheaton, Bethesda Chevy Chase, Rockville,
Damascus and Gaithersburg are all separate
communities with local pride Further, each
has purely local problems
Montgomery County is becoming more
of a unit in many fields but businessmen
seem to be more concerned with conditions
within their own areas. Furthermore thew
do not feel that one large group would or
could be anymore effective than several
smaller and stronger groups.
What might be workable to advantage to
all concerned is a council of chambers and
boards of trade. And the council would take

whole = such as the Industrial development
of the county.
Each chamber and board of trade could
elect strong delegates to such council

1t would be wise for the Montgomery

If George Mahoney enters the race for
the Democratic nomination for Governor,
Hume's candidacy could be harmful to
Mahoney chances of knocking over the Gov.
ernor. However, if GEORGE Mehonev could
be the only candidate opposing Tawes, it is
possible that he could win. Therefore, it isn't
unreasonable to guess that Hume entered the
race in order to gain a bit more political
stature and will be willing to pull out of the
race if Mahoney decides to run again.
There is no doubt that Governor Tawes
has lost a lot of ground. In fact confidential
poll taken just recently indicates that he
couldn't be nominated against strong candi.
date. However, If two candidates of substance
enter the field against him, the Governor
could win nomination for reelection without
too much trouble.
1t Is also a fact that several political
friends of Mr.. Tawes have tried to persuade
