One Of the REDSKINS most
glazing shortcomings for the
last several seasons has been
the absence Of a "take-charge

player they could rally round
when things got tough.
Eddie LeBaron probably was
the last such player to wear

he came into the huddle every
body was attentive. His team
mates figured Eddie knew that
was best and would handle the
situation.
Before LeBaron, Sammy
Baugh was kingpin. Players

Teachers Workshop

Ii the processes of teaching and learning
were exact sciences in which the speed and
amount Of learning could be predicted and
measured as scientists can predict and meas.
ure some values, education would be a com.
paratively easy task. The schools would turn
out perfectly finished students for employ
ment in business and industry and for further
education. AS any parent knows, children are
not the same. They do not have the same
interests, the same drives, the same person
alities, the same learning abilities, or the
same talents Teachers, too, are individuals
who have different talents and different
capabilities. Montgomery Countys 100000
school children and $500 teachers encompass
lot of difference.
Last week some so teachers and l60
supervisory personnel of the County school
system finished two weeks of work in
teachers workshop preparing for the next
school year and the years to come Other
workshops have been and will be con.
Quoted. Education like medicine, science, and
other fields, is constantly changing. In
rapidly changing world knowledge is &C.
cumulating so quickly in the various research
laboratories and university studies that it is
impossible to bring it all together for i'm.
mediate use. This lag between the acquisition
OF knowledge and the use of that knowledge
is one of the major problems in education
science, technology and other fielSs.
To those who say, "Well, 1 got along all
right with McGuffys reader, arithmetic, and
English" one can reply, Our ancestors sur
vived long enough to produce us, too, but
would you prefer the medical practice of that
day to that that exists today
In providing and improving any program
of education one Of the primary problems is
that Of selection. Out of the great body of
knowledge and skills that could be taught
