educators must select that which Is impor-
tant to particular groups of students and that
which can be taught in the short school year.
What skills are necessary for the student
who leaves high school for work and what
skills are necessary for the student who goes
on to college? How can recent advances in
scientific knowledge be included in a course
that already contains so much? Is some out
moded knowledge or skill being taught that
should be dropped?
Is there any way that we can use this
recently acquired knowledge in child psy-
chology to improve our teaching methods?
Is there some deficiency in the teaching Of
this subject or that? Might children learn
arithmetic faster with this new method de-
veloped and praised by another school sys.

mat often the police department has more
detailed records of individuals than those in
the Illes OF the F.BL 1t is also a fact that
the F.B.I., or other outside law enforcement
agencies, do not give the Board complete and
detailed information concerning criminal
charges
For example, the FB.I. reports to the
School Board that John Doe, teacher at one
uine was convicted of a dsorderly conduct
charge. The background Of the charge is
omitted from the report. The local police
records show, however, that the offense was
IN narcotics, or sex, etc. Because an agree
ment exists for mutual exchange of infor-
nation, John Does record as known locally is
given to the F.B.L In turn the F.B.I. gives
all facts its possesses to the local police The
local police convey this information to the
School Board
What is at stake? The maximum safety
and protection for Montgomery County
school children. The additional safeguard of
this fingerprintnig resolution provides II.
The fear OF invasion of privacy is
groundless. 1t is no more possible to invade
the privacy Of our teachers than il is to in.
wade the privacy of all county EMPLOYEES who
are fingerprinted. 1t is ridiculous to infer that
any member of the School Board wishes to
set up climate of fear or police state in
the school system.
This is truly the opportunity to make
the fngerprinting procedure 100 percent
effective.
The opponents of this resolution, If they
are successful, must shoulder the response
bility of denying complete security to school
students. After all, don't we owe this simple
and uncomplicated protective step to our
children?

lII-Advised Proposed

The County Council would be well advised to put on
the shelf proposal by Councilman Thomas M Wilson
that permits must be obtained by all groups least three
days prior to holding parade rally meeting in
public place.
In the first place, getting such permit would be
blasted nuisance for literally hundreds of civic groups par
entteacher associations and possibly garden clubs
and stamp collectors who meet in public building Haven't
we got enough red tape already?
In the second place. it is difficult to understand
sity for enactment of law requiring citizens obtain per-
ms for meetings when the authorities apparently have
plan to reject any such applications If they're not going
to refuse such applications for permits ever why in dick
should they have to go through the motion of applying
for And they did refuse such permits how would that
fit in, far compatibility concerned with the first
amendment to the constitution which clearly gives all
right to peaceaby assemble?
DR.. Wilson's point is that his proposed law would, If
enacted enable the government to keep informed what
meetings being held and to plan in advance how
to cope with them. But it is thin argument citizens
being disorderly destroying property hurting
Others there plenty of laws already the books with
which they be charged If they merely assembling
peaceaby, no law is needed to that
hurry up public hearing-before the scheduled Aug.
by the County Council Aug ID We hope good number
of Montgomery County citizens of whose forbears
have got along just fine for 1877 years without such law
the books will show up at the hearing and oppose the
proposal AS matter of fact speaking of Colonial days,
this sounds like just the kind of law King George III would
have liked very much!

Tuwes On Civil RIGHTS

Those who had hoped Gov TaWeS in his statewide TV
address of last Friday would be able offer cure
however limited or long range for the Cambridge crisis
were perhaps, being unreastc The roots of the Cam
bridge trouble indeed buried deep and there is
doubtedy no magic formula to such tensions
overnight.
something said something that would have left the
situation somewhat improved or, at least than
1t was before Instead despite his statement that he did
not want to blame he proceeded rebuke publicly
side of the dispue-the Negroes-and in so doing
increased their hostility and determination There seemed
to be little real effort the part of the governor to fill
the role of peacemaker in the crisis.
True he did ask that al citizens of this state begin
to appreciate the magnitude of the social revolution
underway :" But he did not ask all of the people Of
the state to end discriminatory practices to work hard
In their communities to prevent another Cambridge, to
open their minds to the fact that the days of having both
first and second class citizens in the Free State
The dramatic announcement by the attorney general
of the United States this week that accord had been reach
ed and agreement signed emphasizes sharply
the lackster role played by the governor in the states
civil rights struggle thus far.
AS we pointed out last week, IL of Maryand's %
counties allowed to exempt themselves from the
statewide public accommodations law when enacted
last winter These IL, of course were on the Eastern
Shore and in Southern Maryland where the law needed
most Gov Tawes during the legislative pushing and pull
ing the bill insisted he could do than to stand
by hepleSSy and watch the IL counties, exempt them
selves And last Friday he said he would not consider
calling special session of the General Assembly to have
the legislators do what they should have done last winter
enact truly statewide public accommodations law.
Legislative leaders have assured him such step would
be fess he said and he is accepting their advice Also,
he pointed out the General Assembly will be converting
n few months" and he will then throw his weight be-
hind such a measure
Actually the legislature will not convene regularly un-
til next February And then many other pressures and
burdens will be felt by the legislators The effort
to enact statewide law including all counties will be
major proposal but there will be many Others too The
undoubtedly will not receive the full consideration
it deserves, and which it would have received had at
special session been called for that purpose alone.
Gov. Tawes to his great credit, became angry and
threw the full weight of his high office behind legislation
which doomed hoary Maryland nstitution-slot
chimes. If he had done-or really willing to do-the
same for statewide public accommodations law, many
feel that legislation would fare equally we'll
We can't help but wonder if Gov Tawes has the
stomach for fight to bring civil rights to all of Maryland
particularly to his native Eastern Shore

portunity to study the needs
of the aging and find that one
of the most urgent require
ments is for suitable housing.
Many are required to live with
their children who have fam
lilies and responsibilities of
their own.
The article states that there
are approximately 25,000 per.
sons in Montgomery County
who are IS and over and the
number is increasing.
Mrs. Schweinhaut has long
since recognized the urgency
of this problem. She was
instrumental in obtaining a
tax credit for the lower in.
come group of the aging and
has promoted clubs for them.
These aged in turn have joined
in an active community spirit.
They visit the shut-ins, sew for
the Junior Village and assist
where and when needed.
1t is hoped that the County
Council may see fit to reap
point members to the Mont.
gomery County Commission on
Aging so that the interests of
the aged will be protected and
furthered.

Liked Editorial

Congratulations on your ex-
cellent editorial, school Pri-
mary Bill of July 3, 1868.
The Republican majority In
our legislative delegation to
Annapolis did, indeed, act with
unseemly haste, in pushing
through this measure and, as
one who attempted to defeat it
on the floor of the House, I
applaud the constructive &C.
ton of the MCCPTA and our
civic groups in forcing the bill
TO referendum.
This action paves the way
for the program backed by the
Democratic minority in the
Delegation, a careful study by
responsible citizens of many
faceted problem, in an atmos-
phere altogether removed from
partisan politics.

For GoIdwdter

I am deeply disturbed by the
state of our nation today. AS
an individual, l am writing to
as many newspaper editors as
possible in an effort to have
them publish my views which
are as follows:
Increased racial tensions, fis-
cal responsibility, Commu-
mist Cuba, loss of states rights
these are the accomplish
ments of the liberal New From
tier. l am sick of this kind of
progress, but we will get
more of the same by continu-
ing to vote for liberal candi-
dates (example - Kennedy,
Rockefeller, Scranton, and
Romney) forced on us by the
Democratic Party and the lib
eral minority of the Republi-
can Party. We must have a
Conservative in the White
House in 1864, or face national
chaos and confusion.
The Democratic Party is so
thoroughly indoctrinated in
liberalism that we must de-
pend on the Republican Party
to provide us with an HON.
EST choice of candidates-not
a liberal versus a liberal, but a
conservative versus liberal.
see Barry Goldwater as the
ONE man who can fight the
New Frontier and win. Ap-
parently / am not alone in that
belief. / understand that over
sixty thousand 100000 peti-

SO, too.
My conscience simply will
not let me sit by and watch

Champion Team!

to try to imagine some pretty
improbable things.
/. Imagine that Rockville
and Montgomery County had
a marvellous band and drill
team for young people which
was acknowledged to be the
best in the entire U.S.A. I'M
agine moreover that besides
bringing fame to the County
and pride to the local citizens,
in some magical way this af-
fected every child in the coun.
ty, improving his educational
opportunity, and helping him
to get into college to a re-
markable extent.
2. Imagine further that such
was the caliber of this band
that it actually brought new
and very desirable types of
people to settle in the county,
and so raised the valuation Of
land.
3. Imagine that over a peri
cd of time, an excellent core
of leaders and tutors had been
engaged for the band and drill
team, men and women like
outstanding coaches) which
other communities would dear
ly love to have, and all this at
a cost per child of about $500
per year, modest in compari.
son with other outstanding
places in the nation trying to
do the same thing.
4. Now please try to i'm
agine, that at a time when all
this is going very well, some
people begin to talk and say
tl.at for a few dollars less per
year, instead of an outstand-
ing and championship band
and drill team, Montgomery
County can have a very medi-
ocre team, one that no one will
be proud of, one that won't do
much for children, one that
will not attract nor keep the
best coaches and tutors.
5. Now, it's almost impos-
sible to ask you to imagine
that these people actually get
control of the championship
band and drill team and meth
odically proceed to wreck it.
They make working conditions
difficult for the very coaches
who have brought national
fame to the corps, they refuse
to hire new needed personnel,
they drive others to resign,
they harass others by seeking
to have their fingerprints
checked against the criminal
files; in short they systema-
tically plunder and wreck the
morale and operations of a
championship outfit, and when
asked why, they reply that
thereby they are able to save
something less than 10 of the
budget. They are even repri-
manded for this behavior by
the appropriate Board of the
State.
6. Finally, what do you i'm
agine thoughtful citizens
might say and do about such
a situation, citizens who had
seen local pride shattered, a
championship team that had
taken years to build land will
take years to rebuild) wrecked
in a few short months, who
had seen their children de-
prived, and even the valuation
of local property decrease be-
cause of less interest on the
part of desirable outsiders to
settle here, what would you
imagine that their reaction to
this imaginary situation might
be?
Z. OF course, Montgomery
County doesn't have a cham
pionship band and drill team.
No county ever has a cham
pionship anything unless the
citizens are alive and alert to
support it at the polls and
with their taxes. and TO pro.
tect II against narrow, blgot-
ed, and self.seeking interests.
Having just been a visitor in
the county for a few days, 1
don't really know what your
championship institutions are,
but even a visitor can imagine.
