Just the eanings seem
changed.
But the final Interpretation
rests with the four new school
board members elected last
month on a pledge to hold down
school costs - which require
about rs per cent of all county
taxes. They read the figures
and say they would like to try
to hold costs while increasing
"the quality Of education"
The three holdover board
members feel that any substan-
tial cut in Supt. c. Taylor
Whittier's proposed l963-64

More Complicated
The problem Of communica-

gets even more complicated
when they are talking about
all but two sets of statistics.

both sides recognize, proves
that the four new members
were the first block Of candi-

Would Explore

In the dialogue that fol-
lowed. the new members said
they wanted to explore such
areas as the cost of running
the top echelon school admin
istration. for which a half mil
lion had been budgeted. They
also were concerned about per-
sonnel and special instruc-
tional services - the budget
category which pays for the
counselors and psychologists
and the administrators who
work on curriculum and advice
to teachers.
The entire cost Of personnel
and Institutional services and
of administration in DR.. Whit
tiers proposed budget was
about $3.2 million, still a long
way from the IS million cut re-
quested by the board.
DR.. Whittier and the three
minority board members also
contend that the ratio of coun-
selors TO students, the use ot
psychological testing and tn,
work Of administrators ant
supervisors In developing cur
lriculum are all essential part
of quality education.
Another area Of dispute 4
the new majority's claim that
despite ever-increasing schoo
costs, Montgomery students are
doing poorly in basic subjects
Using the same set of test
scores, the administrators say
the students compare favorably
with the national average.
The debate over who is inter-
preting the figures correctly
will rage until March /, when
the schools money request
must be turned over to the
County Council.
But the dispute over what
constitutes quality education in
Montgomery County-or any
where-will probably never be
solved.

doesn't set well with their sup
porters, who are sure the bud
get contains frills for the cut
ting.
More Employees
DR.. Whittier called his bud
get conservative and said 1t
would provide the minimum"
amount Of money to maintain
past board policies. He said the
increase was needed to hire $40
new employees to man five new
schools and to educate 1000
new elementary and $500 new
secondary students.
He also claimed that $46.1
million or SO per cent of the
total budget would go for sal
aries with $31 million or 55,9
per cent of the total to pay
teachers.
The new board majority felt
that the statistics didn't tell
all the story. They believed
there were many areas that
could be cut other than SAL
aries, and ordered the superin-
tendent to screen his own
budget proposal and find IS
million worth of such items.
Last week, DR.. Whittier pre-
sented 80 items which, If cut,
would save the IS million, but
would mean average class sizes
would have to increase, free
kindergartens and driver edu-
cation dropped and other spe-
cial services reduced.
The board now claims DR..
Whittier didn't get the mean
ing Of their order. They had no
intention Of scrapping these
items. they said.

The Tribe needs the vote of its people outside of

be used for tremendous good, and accomplish much,
but it will take the effort of each individual Navajo
qualified to vote
This is part of the new which the Tribe and
it's people have embarked. There has been too much
tendency to regard the Indian a 'second-class"

uncaring. We simply cannot feel this to be true,
do believe that any truly informed individual will
agree.

and the tremendous future plans, belle every ota of
this. The Navajo Tribe has been a great leader in
attempting to catch up to the standards of the rest
of the country for all Indians. There is much to be
done, and the right people in the public offices be
of great help in seeing that it does get done.
