fall-and he admits it was a
limited view-it is the Russians
who would find American
schools the revelation,
But one idea he brought
back resulted in the shaping
of experimental units during
the year, to become a part of
social studies in county schools,
sThat idea vas a conviction
that American youth needs to
know more about its own and
comparative political systems
and economies.

Monies, Mr.. Schmidt is in line
with many thoughtful educa-

which until now generally have
Jagged behind the times, at

and Montgomery Counties, has
had to work in the midst of a
staggering job Of planning and
building new schools for spiral
ing enrollments.
Prince Georges expects it's
largest increase next year, with
an estimated jump from 800
students to $4,000.
This year started out with
1000 students on double shifts.
That figure is down now to
about LOO. During the year,
the school board opened one
junior high and three elemen-
tary schools. The system has
been using % demountable
classrooms, which can be taken
down over a week end and
moved, and IL mobile class
rooms.
Space problems also have
meant in some cases transport
ing children away from their
home communities to other sec
tons of the county where space
could be found.
I'm September, the system
hopes to have two new junior
high and six new elementary
schools ready. besides seven adj
ditions. They will provide 258
additional classrooms.
Were getting ready to sub
NIT a new building program
this summer, but I don't have
any idea Of the total" Mr..
Schmidt says.
Salaries Raised
An accomplishment during
the year was the improved
teacher salary scale, with a
starter of $4,000 and a possible
$4,000 for teachers with doc
torates. The teacher supply
seems to be eased, the superin-
tendent observes, but there still
is a shortage of adequately
trained elementary teachers.
Another development iss a
plan to change the ninth-grade

Fuirfox Report
Urges Retiring,
Pay for Dodd
BY JOHN LAWSON
Star Staff Writer

The Fairfax Civil Service
Commission today urged the
board of county supervisors to
investigate charges that sub
standard construction had been
permitted. at some county
schools.
In a strongly worded report,
the commission also denounced
School Supt. Earl c. Funder-
burk and other school officials
for refusing to say specifically
why they had fired Thomas G.
Dodd, who headed the county's
multimilIion-dollar school con-
struction program. Charges of
subStandard construction we're
made by Mr.. Dodd during the
Civil Service Commission hear
ing.
The report recommended that
the School Board "admonish
Mr.. Funderburk and the other
officials and that Mr.. Dodd be
rehired with full back pay.
School officials, the commits
sion said. illegally, willfully
and consistently (acted to- OBJ
struct and negate the legally
charged responsibility of the
commission"
Urge AdmOnitiOn
The school board, it said,
should "admonish" Mr.. Fun
derburk, James Woodbridge, as
sistant superintendent for con-
struction and maintenance, and
other school officials for their
irresponsible and illegal &C
tions" which have cast dis
credit upon them and their
Judgment" and reduced morale
among school employees.
The commission said that
during hearings on his dismis-
sal, Mr.. Dodd had testified that
he had been overruled when he
rejected subStandard construc-
ton which was apparently in
l violation of contract specifica-
tons"
"In view Of the seriousness o.
J the allegations made by thu
appellant, which were unchal
= lenged by school board official
and COUNSEL" the commission
said, sit is strongly recon-
mended that a full investigation
be made of those charges.
Mr.. Dodd was fired March s
but was given no reason for the
dismissal, the commission said.
Later, school officials said he
had refused to follow proper
channels and had been rude to
contractors.

: CUR SOIL # CUR STRENGTH =
 By Cliff Marcus

Sou conservation Subdis- tricts are locally organized and supervised units to encourage proper use of land and water to prevent erosion.
 Equipment is one of the items that these locally organ lzed subdistricts have. Equip ment is usually secured of a nature which would not nor mally be owned by an individ- ual farmer, but equipment that is very useful to farm opera tions.
 The Palmer Subdistrict has several pieces of equipment which can be rented to farm CTS in order to do an improved conservation job on their farms.
 A Brillion seeder which seeds both legumes and grass at the same time, plants the seed at the right depth, and packs the soil all in one operation is owned by the Subdistrict.
 An Eversman land leveler which car be used to smooth off the high spots and fill the low spots in fields to give bet ter surface drainage and eIim- mate small depressions or water holes Is also available to farmers at a small rental cost.
 A large 24 in. breaking blow to prepare newly cleared land may also be utilized on a rem tai basis.
 The Supervisors have just decided to purchase a spray rig and it will be here for the coming crop season, The spray rig will be a pull type, 200 gal lon fiberglass tank with 21 in. boom, The spray rig can be used to help control weeds on both cropland and permanent grass fields.
 Use of any of the equipment on a rental basis can be made by contacting any of the Su- pervisors.
