Postmaster
Hooker Is
Confirmed

ROCKVILLE = Appointment
OF Lee c. Hooker, veteran postal
employe, as u. S. Postmaster
here, has been confirmed by the
Post Office Committee of the
U. S. Senate.
Hooker, who started his
postal career as mail carrier
18 years ago, has served as act
ing postmaster for Rockville
since August, 1861.
Although Senate confirmation
of postmasters usually takes be-
tween six and nine months,
Hooker said much of the delay
in his confirmation was due to
"the situation in this office"
when he took over.
After some reshuffling of
personnel and streamlining of
operations, Hooker said, the
Rockville Post Office this
spring earned a top perform
ance rating in comparison with
others of its size around the
nation.
Hooker, who is 80, lives at
13205 Carriage Court, Rock
vile.

make his report and today"
Beck said, Il received seven
letters from parents outlining
the 'garbled actions of a parents
committee and he said he was
told that the non-graded system
would further be discussed.
There are some problems to
be discussed and explored"
Beck conceded, but as for a full
scale investigation, Il am not
prepared to do this" he said,
and Saunders and his "self.prO-
claimed educators are guilty of
gross misconduct to this board"
he added.
The point of Mondays meet
ing, according to the agenda,
was to hear Saunders report on
Rosemary Hills, which ultimate
ly was presented with DR.. Edda
Larimore, principal Of the ele-
mentary school, on hand as a
member of the professional
staff, to answer questions.
Following heated exchanges
between majority boardmern-
bers and the minority, who con-
tended, as Mrs. Lucy Kicker put
it, ito have the matter put en-
tirely into the hands of staff"
boardmembers got down to the
business of quizzing the profes-
sional staff on the overall pro-
gram and Rosemary Hills in
particular.
Some of the questions and
answers provided by the staff
follow:
Q.-Does the fast learner
benefit more from the ungraded
system than the slow student?
A.-The slow learner and the
fast learner each benefit accord
ing to their capacity. In the un-
graded system an attempt is
made to individualize instruc-
ton where each teacher can
take each child as far as his
limitations will permit.
Q.-Why is there no home
work given?
A.-For a child to be doing
Montgomery County sentinel., 1963-11-21

routine duplicated work at
home is not constructive. Nor
is there much point in just
keeping children busy while at
home. The proponents of the
new system feel they would
rather grade the child than the
parent on the work the child
has accomplished.
Q.-Why have report cards
been dropped from the role of
the school?
"A child under the non
graded system moves rapidly
from one subject area to
another. At mid-year teachers
prepare two to three page re-
ports for parents and engage in
teacher-parent conferences.
Q.-Why are pupils not per-
mitted to take their textbooks
home?
Aft a student wishes to
take book home he is allowed
to. There is little need, accord
ing to the professional staff to
take home textbooks, for each
child is given a different book
based on his own individual
abilities.
While the entire non-graded
program came under fire from
the board majority, Rosemary
Hills and DR.. Larimore, a self
styled believer in convictions"
were more intensively contested.
Saunders mentioned the objec-
ton from parents that the prin-
cipal was "unapproachable" and
parents had experienced diff

ences."
Undaunted by the attack, DR..
Larrimore faced Saunders. I'm
willing to admit we have had
communication difficulties" the
gray-haired principal said, "but
it is not because l am unap-
proachable. At the beginning of
school we sent note to parents
urging them to attend meetings
at which the schedules and phil
osophy of the school would be
presented. There were 70 peo-
pie at the first one" she said.

Julius Vest
Name Urged
For School

The name of Julius West
most probably doesn't mean
much to the students of West
Rockville Junior High School.
But they live in an area
which he once owned, they
visit the Montgomery County
library which he started and
supported until 1949, and have
parents or grandparents who
might have attended the Rock
vile Academy which he founded.
The fact that he still is help
ing them, through his "perpet-
ual fund for education" and the
fact that he was a prominent
and active resident of the coun-
ty until his death in 1860, is the
reason his name has been pro-
posed by the West Rockville
Junior High School P-TA to be
used as the new name of the
school.
The need for a new name
stems from the confusion that
resulted in the elementary
school bearing the same name,
as well as confusion with other
schools within Rockville.
The proposed Julius West
Junior High School will, if
scheduled on the agenda, come
up for consideration at the next
all-day School Board meeting on
Dec. 10.
According to Charles w. Bell,
School Board president, this
name plus two others, that of
the late Lucy Barnsley, who
taught in various schools in the
county for over so years, and
that of Robert Lee Frost, the
unofficial Poet Laureate of the
United States until his death In
1868, represent IAN intelligent
selection"
He also noted that he sees no
reason why the Board should
disagree with the recommenda-
tons made by the P.TA.
