conditions are necessary to test the students
right to read:
Enough citizens are interested in the
development and maintenance of a superior
school system to guarantee its achievement
Malicious gossip, ignorant runors and
deceptive letters to the editor will not be
circulated without challenge and correction.
Newspapers will be convinced of public
desires for objective school news reporting,
free from sIanting or editorial comment which
destroys confidence in and support for
schools
The Community will not permit its
resources and energy to be dissipated
In conflicts created by groups striving to ad.
vance alien ideoIogies, narrow bases, or spe.
cial interests.
Faith in democratic traditions and
processes will be maintained.

An individual who would not
take an oath to God and some
one by name of Della has
written to your paper in pro-
test to a public meeting that
was called by Christians to
hear a Christian speak. They
claim that the public was not
able to express their views.
Now was there, and they
both knew that a request was
made for questions at the end
of the speech. And l am sure
that they know that you just
don't go around to any speech
session and start rafting off
statements. They both knew
that it was late and that the
audience had heard the state
ments they came to listen to;
a most interesting speech by
the Honorable Henry c.
Schadeberg, Congress an
from Wisconsin. They both
realize, am sure, that their
statement time would take
away time for questions from
other people.
This type of baseless com.
planning with full knowledge
of fact is the same under.
mining technique that is so
prevalent today.
l would suggest that if these
two people want to make
statements SO bad, they call a
meeting, make the announce
ments, make arrangements for
the hall and the speakers, etc.
Then they can make state
ments through the night if
they like. 1t would be inter.

The present county regula.
ton requiring the elimination
of outdoor privies in the rural
areas by July l, 1866, will un.
doubtedly result in hardships
for many low income families.
AS has been pointed out be.

simply will not be able to
raise the money needed to
meet these new requirements.
While the objective of the or.
dinance is probably worth.
while, it does not seem right 10

the luxury of indoor plumbing.
After all, there was a time not
very long ago when nearly
everyone living in the country
had a privy. It's nothing to be
ashamed of--even George
Washington had one at Mt.
Vernon.
A more realistic approach
would be to require that a

AS one who fell last fall for
all the talk about sounder edu-
cation in Montgomery County,
I am compelled to add my
vioce to the general consterna.
ton concerning the recent
School Board decision to cut
French out of the elementary
school curriculum.
Even last fall l was leary.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1963-03-14

The difference between edu.
cation and non-education re-
sides in the teacher, not in the
School Board. Even the school
administration can do no more
than provide the kind of
scheduling and moral and pro-
feSsional support that will al
low the good teacher to
function to capacity. But the
expressed intent of doing
away with some of the expen-
sive "frills" seemed to augur
good, if for no other reason
than to save the students time
and reduce the number of his
distractions. l also liked the
nudge away from a plethora
of projects which stretch the
least substance over the great.
est possible area with mounds
of meaningless and dilatory
busy work.
In short, the sound of AGA
demic conservatism appealed
to me. From the tone of the
campaign literature, one would
have expected a move in the
direction of sitter standards
for teachers, more language
and mathematics, and CLASH.
cal reading content in the
schools. But no.
Instead, after a good deal
of unseemly pickering which
appears to have had little to
do with the sound education
per Sc of the individual stu
dent, we learn that one of the
few real academic gains in
American education during the
past decade is to be slashed
from the Montgomery County
curriculum.
This is appalling. The merits
of foreign language instruc-
ton in the elementary school
are too familiar to educators,
linguists, and even the general
public for me to belabor them
here. The quality of the
French program - at least in
the Bradley School, the only
one l know we'll - is com.
pletely unassailable, by any
standards. 1t is truly excellent,
efficient, and effective.
And where is the economy in
eliminating it? Students must
eventually qualify for high
school French. They will
never learn certain aspects of
the language at high school
age so well as they will in
elementary school. For those
who have just begun but will
not finish the elementary pro.
gram, the investment which
was made, both in time and
money, will be sacrificed.

This kind of economy has to

Hal Lockey

Montgomery County is pop
ulated with number of citi.
zens who will not graciously
accept the results of the last
election. Nowhere is this
more clearly demonstrated
than in the relentless attacks
that are being made on the
integrity of Hal Lackey.
Mr.. Lackey has been the
subject of an editorial in one
of the leading metropolitan
newspapers. 1t is with in.
creasing frequency that his
name is being mentioned in
the columns of local journals.
The common thread that runs
through all these articles is
that Mr.. Lackey is unfit to
serve in the County Govern
ment because he is a dedi.
Gated, effective Republican.
Let US look at the facts.
Mr.. Lackey is successful at.
torney in private practice in
Montgomery County. He holds
no personal government ambi.
tons. He declined to be con.
sidered for one of the leading
appointments available to the
new administration. At the
request of the County Council,
he has agreed to serve on the
County Personnel Board. The
County will pay him $500 per
year for his services.
Mr.. Lackey is one member
of a three-man board. The
two other members are DEM
ocrats. The mathematics of
the situation indicate that Hal
Lackey's views must be sup
ported by reason and logic to
prevail. Further, under per-
sonnet regulations now OBJ
tanning, the personnel Board
acts upon appointments on the
basis of reports prepared by
the Personnel Office. The
staff of the Personnel Office
is composed of merit system
employees who were APP
pointed by the previous ad.
ministration. This procedure
is followed in every case con.
sidered by the Board.
Finally, instead of being be-
sieged by victorious Republi-
cans seeking merit system
jobs, the County experiences
some difficulty in employee
recruitment. This is due to
the fact that county job OPP
portunities are not competi.
tive with those in the Federal
Government and private in
dustry.
One critic, in referring to
the alleged improperly of Hal
Lackey serving on the Person
mel Board while a member of
the State Central Committee,
stated that even though he
might resign from the State
Central Committee she covld
not accept him in the county
position because he is a par.
tisan Republican.
1t is to be hoped that we
will soon have Partisan Re-
publicans in all executive gov.
eminent positions. To be a
partisan Republican or a par.
tisan Democrat is to subscribe
to a particular philosophy of
government. The people of
Montgomery County have in
Dictated they wish to be gov.
erned by the Republican Phi
losophy.
1t was Adlai Stevenson, in
Chicago in 1856, who said,
thank goodness for partisan
politics.
