When the great depression Of the early

Montgomery County Is very fortunate

nation. OF the 1880 high school graduates in
1852, COS per cent went on to higher educa-
tiOn Al per cent into other training and 1874

Montgomery County. This fortunate situation
Is primarily the result OF a large Federal

One of the great national needs in our
high schools is for courses which turn out
students with basic skills in some vocation
(Only 20 per cent of the nations high school
students go on to college,. In many areas,

there are few farms, cabinetmaking where
there is a surplus of cabinet makers, and

cost per pupil In Montgomery
County was twice as much as
the $500 figure given above.
Yet the work load per teacher
for $500 was only 1916. How
is 1t possible that per pupil
cost of public schools is 50
much more? 1t must be the
administration. Yet If half of
our tax dollars for education
go into administration, then
the system Is just too top
heavy.
The teachers who worked in
the private school were happy.
They had small classes, no

to attend no county meeting,
no P-TA meetings. They didn't
have to decorate their rooms

The children went to school
for one reason and that was

COP Views

When should the wishes of the minority
prevail over those of the majority? The
Supreme Courts decision on Bible reading
and the repeating of the Lords Prayer in
public schools upheld the wishes of 20qo of
Maryland's citizens. 1t ignored the expressed
desires of 711o of the people in its favorable
holding for a suit brought by Baltimore

Resolution proposing Constitutional amend
ment ito permit the reading of the Bible and
offering of prayer in public schools"
He said THE Supreme Court ruled -. =.
that the use of the Lords Prayer or Bible
reading In public schools for devotional pur-
poses violated the First Amendment of the
Constitution, which prohibits governmental
establishment Of religion 1t is felt by some
that the majority decision trampled on the
Constitutional guarantee (also in the First
Amendment) that there shall be no govern
mental prohibition the free exercise of
religion. I do not criticize the Courts ruling
Fortunately, however the Constitution
makes provision for its own amendment
My measure would give the people the OPP
portunity to make their wishes known
through their respective state legislatures.
After all, the people themselves are the
court of last resort.
There is wealth of evidence in our
traditions, customs, laws and practices which
prove us to be a religious people whose ms
titutions presuppose a Superior Being. None

Well our daughter Margaret now has

now in Torino, Italy with every opportunity
to steal the heart of the Buffa family.

Ours APpIouded

AS a property owner In
Montgomery County, I applaud
the action of the County
Council in regard to cuts in
the proposed budget for coun-
ty schools. I'm all for higher
teachers salaries, adequate IA
cilities, etc., ETC., but, a case
in point.
Private schools are supposed
to be expensive. Our youngest
daughter attended one in End
and Bird grade because we were
so dissatisfied with the quail.
ty of the 1st grade public
school education which she
happened to receive in Mont
gomery County. The private
school cost us only $500 year.
The quality of the instruction
she received was such that up
on returning to public school,
she was advanced to fifth
grade. This year, in the middle
of sixth grade we were trans
ferred to Naples, Italy, and
believe it or not, she was far
behind the children here. With
extra help from her teacher
and her parents. she will be up
with her 35 classmates by the
end Of the school year.

ming; power mechanics; woodworking; cleo
tronic technician; illustration, drawing and
design and cartography
By coupling high school training with
that obtainable in the Junior College, Mont
gOmery County should be able to turn out
highly skilled semi professionals, such as en-.
cheering aides and electrOnic technicians.
Well trained high school and junior college
students not only mean taxpaying citizens
but also a pool of skilled men and women
which will attract industry and business.
During the 1905 an estimated annual
average of 25 million jobs will disappear in
the nation because of automation. The
national pool of unemployed and unemploy-
able young people will continue to grow for
some time until new educational curriculum
are functioning.
The countys growing electronic industry
and government facilities like the Bureau of
Standards will be able to absorb considerable
numbers of skilled men and women. In light
of the national situation and the growing de-
mand for skilled people the talk of selling
the Takoma Park Junior College complex just
doesn't make sense to this observer.
Since the Takoma Park Junior College
complex was purchased from Bliss Electrical
School in 1850 for $350,O00, nearly another
million dollars has been spent for improve.

Takoma Park area would run into several
million dollars. These facilities are already
built, paid for, and functioning To this OBJ
server it seems a strange economy to sell
this complex when the Junior College in
Rockville is completed. If it can't be operated
as Junior College, it can be operated as
post-high school technical institute. The need

Our Declaration

One hundred and eighty six years ago young Vir-
gna lawyer named Thomas jefferson drafted document
which was to become the legacy of all free men.
I'VE hold these truths to be sefevident, that all
men are created equal that they endowded by their
Creator with certain unalienabe rights that among these
are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
This the second paragraph of the Declaration OF In
dependence represents the warp and wool OF Americas
political philosophy 1t is the signing of this great doc
ment by thirteen colonies including Maryland which IS
celebrated next week on July A.
Before the parades and marching bands, before the
dde rides square dancing and fireworks displays before
the gay and frivolous activities that Americans anticipate
on this holiday would do well to pause and read our
declaration carefully.
We face local. national international and even special
problems today that also y mems souls We are faced
in addition with the ugly problem of racial differences
differences which Thomas jefferson may well have antic
pated when he wrote the Declaration Can Americans mus
ter their moral ethical educational and spiritual forces
to face with courage and dignity the inner well as
outer conflicts?
We believe we can. If we believe the words of our
Declaration of Independence human power on earth
can destroy us.
Let us then, the holidays think not only OF
the fireworks displays and floats but more especially or
the true meaning of the celebration The country that gave
birth the Declaration of Independence has no room for
racial and religious bigory, for apathy or mob
violence Like sudden gust of fresh air. the words of the
Declaration blow away the musy sick smell of prejudice
hate hostility and narrow mindedness.
Remember the last sou-strring lines of our nations
creed:
"And for the support of this Declaration with firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence we mu-
tally pledge to each other Lives, Fortunes and
our sacred Honor"

Adopt Plan
Edward Koenig

How to handle the recent
deluge of rezoning applications
is the latest dilemma of the
rev County Council. The so
luton is easy. Adopt and i'm.
plement a master plan for de-
velopment and stick to it.
An adopted plan, such as the
Wedges and Corridors Plan
proposed by the staff of the
Park and Planning Commits
sion, would indicate to most
property owners the proper
and permitted use for their
land. With such a plan, and a
firm policy of adhering to it.
there would be no point in ask
ing for rezoning. The few
borderline or doubtful cases
could be settled easily using
the plan as a guide. Changes,
notifications or improvements
to the plan, if necessary in the
public mot private) interest,
could still be made by the
Council. The result would be
that rezoning applications
would drop to almost nothing.
The County Council should
urge the Planning Commission
to stop dragging it's feet and
adopt the General Plan. With
the growth that is predicted
for the county and no develop
ment plan, the number of re-
zoning applications is bound
to increase each year. The
Montgomery County Council
has more important things to
do than conduct coming hear.

Mr.. Lackey is an expert

his talents been missing from
the 1862 campaign, our party

addition to his less-publicized
efforts before the election, Mr..
