Although the modern gen.
GRAFTON rarely hears much
about her, the New Zealand
born British story writer
Katherine Mansfield was a
much talked about author
half a century ago. She re-
mains one of the influential
stylists of this century. The
mode she set still exhibits it.
self In the work Of many Of
our important authors.
Among the Mansfield first
editions most priced by her
collectors is that of her first
important book Of short
stories, published in 1911. Its
undated title page reads:

KATHERINE MANSFIELD

The book is bound In green
cloth. Fine copies sold for
5000 to $500 in the 193Os, at
the peak of Miss Mansfield's
popularity (she died in 1929.
The market has since de-
clined, but a nice copy still

Perhaps by a coincidence, the

will not adopt the new county
budget or set the tax rate un-
til Tuesday afternoon when it
will be too late for the decision
to affect the bond vote.
The supervisors, mindful of
the coming November elections,
have been hoping to hold the
overall property tax increase
to less than so cents.
Principal and interest pay
ments on the school bonds will
not require an increase in the
tax rate, according to the COM
mittee. A school board report
says that debt service on older
bond issues will be phasing out
as payments on the school
bonds begin.
Even before the vote is taken.

by school officials of enroll

servative.

Tells PTA Unit
Cut in Budget
Isn't Vital Blow
By JAMES ROWLAND
Star Staff Writer


Montgomery County's overall
school program will continue to
improve next fall in spite Of
cut-backs in 1963-64 budget
proposals, School Superinten-
dent c. Taylor Whittier said
yesterday.
I'm not going to cry over
split milk, and I'm optimistic
about the future" he added.
DR.. Whittier made his pre-
diction to a workshop held by
the County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations for new
officers of local groups, and to
questions posed later by a re-
porter.
DR.. Whittier told the PTA he
had mo quarrel with budget
airy actions. He said it was a
citizens decision because it was
lone by officials elected to the
school board and county
council.
Sees Improvement
The superintendent added
that he thought the cutbacks
were bad personally" but that
they will not break the back of
so-called quality education.
THE staff and / carry out

think we can continue to i'm
prove" DR.. Whittier said.
We've had our ups and
downs before but our program
has steadily improved in the
last six years and this one
action isn't going to break our
backs" he remarked.
I'VE are much farther ahead
than the other school systems"
he said, adding:
This term of quality edu-
cation has been tossed around
so much it's lost much of its
meaning. Who's to say the
loss of some French and ply
sical education teachers is
going to hurt the overall pro-
gram.
Recruitment Seen Suffering
There are other areas in
which we can and will i'm
prove"
Budget cuts by the school
board and the county council
last month eliminated 200 new
teaching positions and some 20
other jobs.

made by school board and

sary spending.
DR.. Whittier yesterday re-
peated a prediction the econ
omy moves would hamper
teacher recruitment.
"A number of teachers are
reluctant to come here because
they think the budget cuts
might reflect an unfavorable
atmosphere on education" he
explained.
He said there still is no way
his staff can accurately foresee
how education can be affected
by a pupil-teacher ratio of 30
to-l in elementary and 25-to-l
in high school, as indicated by
the economy moves.
Urges Broad News
Some teachers can do an
excellent job with IS students
and Others can handle 90" DR..
Whittier said.
On another subject, Millard
Cass, PTA Council president,
predicted a sufficient number
of petitions for a referendum on
the new school board primary
law will be turned in this week.
He said he and his staff will
check the petitions Thursday
and carry them to Annapolis.
