A recent development of the
Hunter Division, Robbins & Myers,
Inc, is package" attic fan which
lends itself to easy do-it-yourself
installation. The picture at the left,
above shows how the fan looks
installed in an attic; the photo at
the right shows how it appears
viewed from a hallway. The LOWERS

ommend fan with two speeds. A
two-speed motor, the Memphis,
Tenn, manufacturer says, allows
quiet, gentle circulation of fresh
outside air through bedrooms at
night. 1t also provides plenty of
reserve power for daytime and
evening cooling of the entire house.

NddlatiOn OF heat from this over
head oven makes it necessary for
owners of air conditioned homes
to operate the equipment all night
long, even when the outside air is
fresh and cool. The action of an
attic fan, however, quickly expels
the torrid attic air and replaces it
with cool night air.
An attic fan, installed preferably
in the ceiling of hallway, pulls
cool outside air into the house
through slightly opened windows.
By adjusting doors and windows,
moving air can be routed through
any part of the house.
Air conditioning equipment will
last longer and operating costs will
be reduced when an attic fan is used
at night and the air conditioner
is turned on only during the day.

From This Angle
The Ultimate Failure In Education

Last week in Wanenton Va, SO Ameri-
can leaders, including Supreme Court Justices
William o. Douglas and William J. Brennan,
pleaded for prompt action-by educators,
lawyers, and indeed the entire American COM
munity-to enhance and improve secondary
school education in the principles of the Bill
of Rights"
A newspaper report describes the con-
Germs and conclusions of this group of Ameri-
can leaders who are organized as the National
Assembly on the Teaching of the Principles
of the Bill of Rights. These Americans fear
that unless our schools teach the meaning of
liberty and freedom given to us by our Bill
of Rights "other free institutions, and indeed,
the essential fabric of our society may not
survive the failure"
There are indications, in some areas, any,
way. that not only have the schools failed to
teach the meaning of the Bill of Rights but
that very large minority of American high
school students are ready to give UP those
freedoms. In 1860 Purdue University made
study of the attitudes of 10000 high school
students with the following results one-third
would abolish the right to petition 81 percent
approved the use of the third degree methods
by the police; and 43 per cent were not sure
about the value of free speech or would curb
it.
Reported this group. 'The root of the
present shortcomings seem to lie in fear
OF controversy" This fear Of controversy
seems to perTneate our whole society. This
fear results in such strange actions as that
OF Washington high school principal two or
three years ago who decided that the principle
OF separation of church and state was too
controversial subject for his high school
students to discuss. Before we condemn this
high school principal, let us consider the con-
clusions of these American leaders.
These leaders did not place the primary
blame for the lack of instruction in the Bill
OF Rights on the teachers or their administra-
tors, but pointed finger at the whole com.
munity Schools are an organ of the com.
munity and reflect the climate and disposition
of the citizenry as whole"

Too Many Pack Rats!

When l start to write a column, have
no idea of how it will turn out. l may start
out in very long faced, largo sort of tempo
and change it as my imagination becomes
fabricated
I suspect that this is going to be one
of those columns of mine which have no
cohesion or central thought discernible to
the casual reader. I think that I shall write
as though were upon the psychiatric couch
and write my thoughts down as they tumble
through my head.
Lawyers and psychiatrists have one impor-
tant thing in common 1t is people Lawyers
try to get people out of trouble externally.
Psychiatrists try to get people out of trouble
internally. l think, except in extreme cases,
that internal trouble is more painful than
external Wars, jails, death by execution,
drunkenness, inability to cope with life are
external things and lawyers do their best to
prevent wars, keep people out of jail from
suffering the death sentence, and try to help
people cope with life. Internal trouble to me
means the emotional turmoil that causes bad
Judgment, hostility, wars, crime. domestic
turmoil, and general unhappiness The psy-
chiatrist tries to help the patient see the
causes of the emotional conflicts so that the
Judgment will not be bad, and the patient
will not commit the crime, or start the war
which puts him in Jail or causes him to die
Lawyers are the social architects of the
world, and the psychiatrists are the great
tearers down and builders up of persons A

material is sick humanity and whose end
product is people of good health

Sfrange Council Action

Action by the lame duck County Council in killing the
proposed fve-acre zoning category Tuesday tmed
to say the least.
Council hearings the coming tool eagerly sought by
planners to help open spaces concluded last
August The three-month delay in Council action can be
attributed doubt to the extreme controversiaty of the
proposal and the fact that all cocilmen up
for reelection Nov. 6.
With the election safely over and at it's final
meeting, the council busted off the proposal and by 4-3
vote axed It. Regardless of the merits of the proposal
this is strange way to conduct public business.
The proposal, however, did have merit. It did
enjoy some public backing. The planners in whom we
have entrusted the responsibility of mapping the countys
future enthusiastically for it. In their General Plan
recommendations the planning staff unequvocay
that there only two ways preserve open spaces effec-
lively: % to buy the land with public money (2) to
employ the tool of rural zonng They stated that the first
alternative is both impossible and undesirable" Rural

Now it will be up to the opponents, among them Co-

pushed hardest for it. to explain how they propose pre-
serve spaces and prevent endless mile after endless
mile of urban sprawl.

With the sentencing of Jo-
seph E. Johnson, the Maryland
Courts have now condemned
to death three young Mont
gomery County Negroes on
convictions of raping the same
white girl. This so-called rape
was accomplished without VIC.
lence to the person of the girl
and without any resistance or
remonstrance or plea on her
part.
The medical test was con-
sistent with voluntary inter-
course as claimed by the de-
PENDANTS and inconsistent with
a forced act. The testimony
of the States chief witness,
the girls escort, conflicts with
the account given by him be-
fore a friend the day after the
episode.
These convictions, and, even
more, the sentences, are dis
quieting to those who cherish
equality and mercy in the
administration of justice. The
State of Maryland must not
commit the crime of executing
these young men.

I'm the long run teachers cannot teach
children what the parents do not wish to have
them taught, nor can they withstand pressure
to ignore or gloss over prickly and disagree
able questions unless they are given support
by those who believe that education must
stimulate the curiosity to wrestle with i'm
ponderables and the boldness to grasp the
nettles of controversy"
The report went on, "Other surveys of
student and adult opinion disclose a lament
able ignorance of both the wording and history
of the Bill of Rights and a dangerous indf-
ference to its application to current issues"
The Montgomery County Curriculum
Study Committee of the social sciences re-
ported last year: 'In the teaching of social
studies in Montgomery County there is a
wide variation from school to school and
among teachers in the methods of teaching
and in the choice of resources including text
books and to the elementary level in the
content of the courses" After commenting
on the need for flexibiltiy and variety, the
Committee added, TT believes, however. that
much of the lack of uniformity is needless
and that the curriculum guides especially in
the elementary schools, encourage too much
variety in basic content"
Any elementary or high school that does
not teach the basic principles of our Constitu-
ton and the Bill of Rights is not doing the
primary job with which it is charged pre-
pairing our children for citizenship How well
these principles are being taught in any CON-
munltys schools should be the concern of
every parent and every citizen
Our children must be taught not only to
understand these rights and freedoms, thew
must realize what will happen if these rights
ana freedoms disappear If our children are
given examples of tyrannies resulting from
the loss of liberty-and such examples abound
in the world around us-they will soon love
liberty. AS the late Judge Learned Hand said
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.
When it dies there, no constitution. no law.
no court can save it."

"social-adjustment" approach.
Unfortunately, this lady and
her many co-believers have be.
come victims of their own
propaganda. The fact is that
Montgomery County schools
have never been teaching any
thing else but the fundamen-
tails, and in pretty much the
same fashion as hundreds and
thousands of other school sys-
TENS in such rugged Repub-
lican areas as Westchester

for the past 10 years, spent
many hours helping them with
tough homework assignments,
talked to their teachers. and
have never detected any neg
lect of the so-called fundamen-
tails in favor of the social-ad-
justment approach.
AS for the election, it was

cause so many voters were an
CRY at the large tax increase,
and wanted to strike back at
the "ins".
But why was so much money
spent? 1t is no secret. Several
articles in the local press
which appeared after the cleo.
ton, if carefully read, revealed
all. Those responsible for fl
nancing the victory could not
forebear to brag about it.
They are, by and large, gentle
men whose real interest is not
schools or taxes. but zon-
ing. They were determined to
put into office individuals who
would not oppose their at
tempts to get the county zoned
so as to add to the already
considerable wealth they pos

by the incumbents, who had
the nerve to put the interests
of the overwhelmingly major,
ity of the county's homeowners
ahead of those of the develop.

using every dirty trick in the
book, and limited funds, they
fooled the voters into getting
rid of those who stood in their
way.
