What Price Quality Education for MONTGOMERY?

The tax conscious" Mont
gomery County Council is
often referred to as "econ-
omy minded" Who Is not?
But members Of the council
have insisted they also favor
quality education"
Let us hope they possess
the vision to discern the ma
ture Of true economy, plus the
courage to hold the line"
against reductions In the level
Of educational services and
against further retrench-
ments in our investment in
public education, our county's
most profitable investment.

operating budget recommen-
dations we're so conservative
as to raise doubt whether
existing standards could be
maintained in the face Of in
creases in enrolment and in
teacher salaries. The cuts
made by the board Of educa-
ton threaten to lower the
educational productivity Of
our schools and teachers out
OF all proportion TO the mod
est savings accomplished.
The ultimate costs. how
ever, are unacceptable. The
choice lies only in how we
pay them.
We can choose 10 pay for

A BOOK FOR TODAY
frightening Look Into the Future
By DONALD MINTZ
THE COMING WORLD

THE COMING WORLD
TRANSFORMATION. BY
Ferdinand Lundberg. 395
PIP. Doubleday & Co.,
$5.750
THE Coming World Trans
formation" is an imposing
and perhaps portentous title.
Ferdinand Lundberg, Profess
sor of Social Philosophy at
New York University. has
never been a retiring sort Of
writer and in his new book
he spreads before us a con-
siderable array of more or
less sensational predictions.
These will no doubt be duly
exploited; they are also the
least important element of
the book. Nevertheless, we do
our duty and offer a few
samples taken from the dust
jacket: Small business in
every major field in the
United States will be swal-
lowed up by giant corpora
tons. The backward nations
of Africa, South America and
Asia will remain relatively
backward. Racism will be viz
tually eliminated, and inter-
racial marriage will be en-
couraged on scientific prin-
ciples. Western governments
will become giant social serv-
ice institutions relating to
every department of modern
life, even to the rearing Of
children" Finally, "nuclear
war Is unlikely to occur on a
major scale, though a limited
nuclear engagement is a pos
sibility."
PROF. LUNDBERG claims
to have arrived at these con-
illusions through scientific
modes Of thought. Towards
the beginning Of the book he
invokes Ernest Nagel. game
theory and symbolic logic,
Towards the end he invokes
John Won Neumann land OF
course game theory AGAIN.
"econometrics, operations re-
search, cybernetics. dynamic
programming, proba bility
theory. statistical decision
functions and decision proc
eSses, stochastic processes,
and logistic or mathematical
logic" though he does not
specifically claim that he has
employed any Of these arcane
procedures and disciplines in
his own work.
Between the prayers to SCI
ence, we find a number OF
analyses Of important aspects
OF modern life, on which the
predictions for the future are
based. But unless the reader
is deeply moved by such
phrases as "All evidence In
dicates :" ut would take
hundreds Of pages 10 assess
fully all the evidence y
and THE probabilities seem
weighted by more than rs per
cent :" he will be hard put
TO see how Prof. Lundberg's
approach differs from that OF
more orthodox - meaning
more subjective-social pun
dts.
Instead of taking the book
on what all evidence indi-
Gates are It's own terms. the
reader is forced TO weigh
what Is actually said against
inflated meteorological
claims. The results are dis
tressing, and thus ideas that
under other circumstances
might be taken as useful
guides TO thought are simply
discarded.

THE PASSING SCENE
GoIdwoter q Real "a Possibility
By WILLIAM S. WHITE

Only the closed-minded
longer doubt that Senator
Barry Goldwater is moving
UP from a very far-outsider's
position to the position of a
real possibility for the 1864
Republican presidential nom
ination.
The fact is that within the
Republican Party structure
itself, and especially among
the pros who normally con-
troll national nominating con-
ventions, the Importance of
being Barry is no longer in
the slightest degree being
challenged.
The disposition, especially
in the East, has been to laugh
off the various Draft Gold
water" movements which for
months have been bobbing
up here and there. However
justified this past skepticism
may have been, those who
should be able to make the
most realistic Judgments
the hackers of other presi-
Dental aspirants, including
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of
New York-are surely not
laughing any more.
All this is said. parenthe-
tically, without the smallest
reference to those who dis
agree with Of some Senator
Goldwater's policies-of whom
this columnist, also parenthe-
tically, is one.
Notably, the pros are not

The public hearing by the Rules
Committee of the Board Of Education
on disciplinary problems in Washington
schools served several useful purposes.
1t demonstrated that the community
Cncluding, significantly, most Of those
graSS-roots organizations whose mem
bers actually have been polled on the
question: largely supports the requests
Of School Superintendent Hansen to lift
the ban on corporal punishment and to
permit the expulsion of uncomfortable
pupils under certain conditions.
1t corroborated Dr. HanSen's con-
tention that the vast majority of District
teachers oppose continuation of the
corporal punishment rule on the ground
that 1t severely undermineS their author
1ty in the classroom. Six Of seven pro-
fesSional teacher organizations testified
to this effect.
1t laid to rest the hysterical sug-
geStion that most parents oppose elimi-
mating the ban out of some underlined
fear of brutality and sadiStic punishment
in our schools.
reports Of the testimony vigorous and
well-deServed vote Of confidence in DR..
Hansen. The point has been raised that
the superintendent himself has opposed
corporal punishment in the past, and
this is so. DR.. Hansen makes no bones
about it. He has changed his mind, he
says, because he has been persuaded by
Int nrxyiny rHyitI1 %na L,y
reports from others that the very exist
ence Of the present ban in Washington
encourages arrogance and misconduct,
and that some. teachers, as a result Of
the ban, are reluctant to touch students
under even the most extreme and
provocative circumstances. This is a
ridiculous state of affairs.
Nor is there justification for the
reprehenSible suggestion that removal
of the ban on corporal punishment
would stimulate racial strife. To imply,
as the authors of this suggestion do, that
the punishment of Negro pupils by white
teachers Tor the punishment Of white
students by Negro teachers) could be
interpreted as acts of racial diScrimina-
ton is to undermine the entire concept
Of school Indignation. Indeed, If there
were grounds for such fear it would
not be possible to trust teacher to grade
the tests Of student Of the opposite
race. Such suggestion maligns teachers
of both races.
The argument also is made that
the relatively mild forms of corporal
punishment" which DR.. Hansen has pro-
posed as permissible would have little
impact on the young thug who is regu-
larly beaten up by drunken father at
home. Maybe not. But not all disruptive
or diSorderly students, fortunately, fall
within this category. And those who do
at least would be put on notice by a
change in the rules that their days for
diSorganizing the normal classroom at
mosphere, and getting away with 1t, are
numbered.
The Rules Committee of the School
Board meets tomorrow afternoon to
consider the results Of the hearing and
to draft recommendation to the full
board on DR.. HanSen's proposals. We
trust that it will support the recommen-
dationS favored by a majority in the
community.

to be his own personal goOd-luck piece.
Dusty had been stationed in native
village up near the Laotian border. There,
on the night in question, Kong had
alerted the village with his unearthly
yowl just in time for Dusty's people to
beat off surprise attack by the Wet
Cong Communist guerrillas. Since the
alarm had probably saved his life, Dusty
had enlisted Kong into Special Forces,
promoting him to general on the spot.

gloomy line Of thought. 'Lieutenants

been sent to the Pentagon as consult

no one ever would. Meanwhile, his peo-
