Political Buckfire

The economy-m minded Republican
majority Of the Montgomery County
Council Is UNDERSTANDABLE glum, not to
say stunned, at the county school board
request for reconsideration Of the coun-
ellis slash Of funds for 400 additional
teachers in the county school system
next year.
The cut was clearly unjustified. It
was based on the skimpiest Of support
ing evidence, at which the council leaped
In its eagerness to live up to campaign
promises Of savings in the schools. And
the fact that this error now has been
proclaimed publicly by school board
whose majority rode into office on the
same bandwagon Of economy has placed
the council in position Of excruciating
political embarrassment.
There also are other overtones of
irony-not the least having been an
impression by the school board that the
county council might reconsider the
teacher cut on its own initiative. This,
it now appears, may not have been
the case.
But regardless of that, the resolu-
ton Of the school board has served a
useful and commendable purpose.
The grievous fact is that the 222
additional teachers requested by the
school dministration-and the school
board as well-were not intended to
reduce existing class sizes or to alleviate
current trouble spots. They were needed
to teach a net addition Of 5000 students
who are expected to show up In county
schools next fall. The current budget
would provide only % new teachers for
assignment to the 5000 children-3,700
OF whom will enroll in high schools.
1t has been the councils contention
that the So-called average ratio" Of
teachers to pupils would not be severely
affected by the cut. AS The Stars
James Rowland demonstrated in an
article the other day, however, this ratio
is phony, since the average" is sharply
reduced by large number Of classes
in special subjects with small enroll
ments. And the fact is that the vast
majority Of classes in the important
basic subjects already are overcrowded
today. While the ideal" class size
may be subject Of dispute, there can
be no doubt that the present budget
would lead to more overcrowding-
less individual attention to students in
the classroom and to greater workloads
for teachers.
The school board may be able to
lessen the impact next year by divert
ing funds or personnel from other less
essential programs within the system.
This, after all, is in line with its drive
to emphasize the most pressing school
needs-an effort which in our judg-
ment does not warrant all of the criti-
cism that has been heaped upon the
heads Of the majority members.
The greater responsibility, however,
rests with the council, whose arbitrary
action created the dilemma. While it
may be too late to fully rectify the
mistake, the council should make avail
able whatever funds 1t can find for
additional teachers.

Andres Segovia filled Lisner
Auditorium yesterday for an
afternoon of his personal magic
with the classical guitar. Not
only the auditorium, but also
the stage was packed with peo-
pie who listened more atten-
lively and more quietly than
any audience in my recent
memory.
The secret Of this appeal is
not in the music itself. AS the
program shows, most of the
music was by composers for the
guitar, or by men closely iden-
titled with a national tradition
which, however good in itself,
cannot be expected to attract
an audience in another country.
Sor may be the Dittersdorf of
the guitar, but, so far as 1 know,
the instrument has never had
a Beethoven.
Much Of the appeal and the
effect of Segovia have to do
with his unique mastery of his
medium. He has the ability to
bring from the limited re-
sources and rather dry tone Of
his chosen instrument an as
tonishing range Of dynamics
and Of tone color, coupled with
the most exquisite ability to
utter a melody and to shape a
composition. Everything was
poised. subtle. lucid and un-
assuming.

Five flutists from the United
States Marine Band were heard
yesterday afternoon at the Cor
coran Gallery in a concert
which was surely one Of the
most unusual to be offered In
Washington during the current
season.
1t is doubtful II any other
organizations except the service
bands which make the Nations
Capital their home could boast
such an extraordinary concen-
tration Of brilliant flutists. Ger
tainly, William Montgomery
and David Gilbert must be
counted among the country's
top virtuosos; their gifted col
leagues, Carl Melton, Michael
King and Leslie Sheary, are not
very far behind them.
The concert was o truly
dazzling exhibition of skill and
musicianship.
To put together q full pro-
gram Of music composed for
one to five unaccompanied
flutes is quite a tour de force
and its is therefore hardly sur
prising that not all of the pieces
selected were Of uniformly tor
quality.
Perhaps most impressive
from a purely musical view
point, were the compositions
for solo flute by the two con-
temporaries, Egon Wellesz and
Luciano Berio. These were
stunningly performed by Mr.
Montgomery.
Also notable were the Florent
Schmitt Quatuor and two fan
tastic five-flute concertos from
the 18th century by Joseph
Bodin de Boismortier, the Sec
ond Of which (No. ID was given
as an encore.
Most of the more solid stuff
was in the second half of the
program: before the intermis-
sion, the music-all extremely
pleasant-ranged from the as
sured, easy professionalism OF
Telemann through the Paris
Conservatoire academicism OF
Eugene Bozza to the not unin-
teresting dodecaphonic canons
