by the Commissioners as a re-
suit Of the queries.
The long debated proposal
that the District establish a
central service to aid families
moved out of their homes by
Government action received the
c ON m i S Sioners' Endorsement
about two months ago. The
Commissioners have made it
clear since that they wanted
the Corporation CounSel's Of
flee to draft the bill quickly
in hope of approval at this seS-
sion of Congress.
The question of the Dis
trict's services to displaced
families and the related mat
ter of available new housing
are tied in with the mounting
controversy over the city's
highway construction program.
Draft Bill Set
The draft bill received today
by the Commissioners would:
/. Authorize the Commits
SionerS to set up a central re-
location service through an
agreement with the District
Redevelopment Land Agency.
2. Provide the same reloca-
ton service and moving pay
ments to all Of the families
displaced by District govern
ment or urban renewal
projects.
3. Provide relocation help,
but with no moving expenses,
for persons moved out of their
homes by private projects, such
as a landlords decision to raze
a rooming house in order to
build a parking lot.
The legislative proposals
drew questions both from the
Commissioners and from other
city officials.
Has Two Major Services
The District now has two
major relocation services.
The District Redevelopment
Land Agency assists the fam
lilies and business firms it dis
places for redevelopment prof.
ects. The land agency's serv-
ices include moving payments.
About two years ago, q relo-
cation service was set UP by
the Commissioners within the
Welfare Department for per-
sons moved out by municipal
projects, such as highway and
school construction. Those in
this category do not get moving
funds. Another difference is
that the land agency must, by
law, certify that housing is
available, or will be provided
for the families displaced by the
redevelopment projects.
Today, Commissioners John B.
Duncan and Walter N. Tobriner
asked about the failures of the
draft bill to extend the land
agency's rehousing certification
to the families displaced by mu-
nicipal actions.
Urges Some Leeway
Mr.. Duncan and Mr.. Tobriner
had in mind inclusion of a pro-
vision that decent housing must
be in sight before any displace-
ment by Government action
would be authorized.

A big job accomplished this
year was reorganization of the
school administrative setup, to
decentralize. and give princi-
pals the main administrative
responsibility for their schools,
rather than a supervisor.
Instead of the division into
elementary and secondary de-
partments, there will be IL
areas, each with one or two
senior high schools and the
junior highs and elernentaries
feeding into them,
In the field Of research, the
county continued or began a
variety of projects Of interest
not only locally, but to educa-
tors generally.
This year was the first of O
four-year systematic study Of
one of the questions interesting
elementary school educators
over the Nation-the relative
merits of so-called depart
mentalized teaching versus the
self-contained classroom in
which one teacher handles all
the major academic subjects.
The study is going on in IA
schools in Grades 4, 5 and 6.
Seven of the schools are try
ing the Subject-separated sys-
tenn. and the other seven re-
tain the conventional one-class-
room system. The researches
are assessing the comparative
academic achievement of the
pupils as well as the effects on
the students as learners and
other aspects.
14-SchOOl Study
The county also graduated
its first evening high school
class, with about Is members.
This evening school began in
February, 1861, to serve the
needs Of students over the age
of Is. Operating at Wheaton
High School, the program more
than doubled in it's second
year.
On the whole, DR.. Whittier
feels Montgomery'S children
are learning more and per-
forming well.

knowledge" he admits. But
we can teach them to love
seeking knowledge and give
them the skills necessary to
do it. With those two things,
you can go anywhere you
want to-"
