& RTHE PRASES SCHOOL SYSTEN Senator Tydings‘Also Lauds Montgomery Institutions at Bethesda Reception. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. BETHESDA, Md,, June 13.—Extolling the present school system of Montgom- ery County, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie and Senator Millard E. Tydings of Mary- land and Supt. of Schools Edwin W. Broome last night, at the new Bethesda- Chevy Chase High School, told of the rapid strides that had been made in education in the S'ate during the past decade. Gov. Ritchie pointed out that during the past 10 years Maryland's schools and educational system had passed from practically nothing to an institution which was attracting other States to use it as a model. The program was arranged as a pre- liminary to a reception in the new building, which was opened in its en- tirety for inspection. It was held under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher As- soclation, of which Mrs. Louis L. Boek- hoff is president, and who presided at the ceremonies last night. The stage was decorated with greens and cut flowers, and against this background was a group of young girls of the school es, who chorused . My Maryland,” as the governor and the official party entered the large auditorium, in which | the exercises were held. Cites Population Increase. Gov. Ritchie spoke of the great in- erease in the population in the metro- politan district of Montgomery County, much of which, he said, was from the District of Columbia, and he said that he wanted to take the opportunity then of congratulating these people on their taste, good judgment and_ good sense in selecting this area in Mary- land. He said he welcomed any sign on their part of their appreciation of what is being done in the metropolitan district. The governor spoke of such * improvements as the parks, the pro- vision of a planning commission, the installation of water and sewer lines, and he particularly stressed the pro- vision of an adequate school system to meet the increasing demands. No one could be governor for a period of 10 years without having knowledge of the ‘various weights to be given pub- lic activities, and, he said, he had found that education should be given the most. He pointed out that there is a habit of looking at governments as money spenders, and he added that it does not build up tax systems merely for the purpose of collecting money to run the government. But, he went on, money raising is not the chief function of any government. The real vital part of government, and particularly of a State government, he continued, is its educational system, as evidenced in its gubllc schools. Mary- land, Gov. Ritchie pointed out, has not fallen very far behind in education. back 10 years, he added, Mary- land 't have any public schools to be proud of. No other State sent to Maryland to examine them as exam- ples. - They lacked pep, he said. Gov. Ritchie then discussed the steps taken to build up the system, beginning about eight years ago, and said that now there is not a State in the country that does not look to Maryland to see what kind of an educational system a State ought to have. They come to the State to study the present system in all its phases, and then go back home and tell of Maryland's work and what the latter State is domng and try o “re:ponxmn sty ot government in a e y o e few years, he continued, will rest on the shoulders of the boys and girls now in school, and it is the duty of the officials now to- provide the means in an adequate and efficient school sys- tem. H}:tst‘éd that the people haven't an expect these young peo- ple’wflgulflll these responsibilities unless they now equip them for the task. Senator Tydings’ Views. Characterizing Montgomery County “as the finest residential section in all the world, barring none,” Senator it he did not believe that it was flattery to add that the people who inhabit it, in intelligence, patriotism, public spirit and great civic activity, are second to none in the world. Senator Tydings Said that the con- struction of any kind of educational institution in America now represents a landmark in progress. Looking back a hundred years, he spoke of the vast strides made in the development of the telegraph, telephone, radio, airplane and other mechanical improvements, which, coupled with the industrial pros- perity, cannot but make the United States a better place in which to live. But, he, added, that he did not believe that educational development had kept pace with the industrial and mechanical development. If it had, he said, this today would be & nation of supermen, superwomen and superchildren. He al- leged that the educational side had been SUBURBAN NEWS. neglected, but the need is paramount now, and it must be met to develop the mentality of the mple 50 as to keep pace with the mechanical improvement. Discussing the casualties of the World ‘War, numbering one-third of the white population of the United States, he said that this was evidence that education had not kept pace. Such a building as he was speaking in, he said, would serve to develop the mentality of the Nation, and, he pointed out, there is mankind and that is knowledge, an still more knowledge. But, he added, even if it is absorbed, in the ‘schoolroom. it will be of little use unless it can be applied afterward. The hatred between the peoples of the nations of Europe, still manifest since the World War, he said, is but « display of ignorance. It can only be dissipated in the schoolroom by sowing the seeds of understanding. Senator Tydings characterized the new building as the very latest word in | civic progress and added that jt shows a real desire for the very best in Be- thesda, and he congratulated the peo- ple on’ receiving such a splendid build- ing for themselves and children. Figure on School Growth, Supt. Broome said that he had ex- | amined the figures of school growth | luring the past five years, and that they | had even been a surprise to him. He pointed out that five years ago there were only 12 teachers in two schools in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase area, with a total enrollment of 341 pupils. Todsy i Bethesda, he said, there were 15 teachers and an enrollment of 409, and in Chevy Chase, 12 teachers with an en- rollment of 346. In addition to these, he said, there were 19 teachers in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High Schocl, with 327 pupils, and in Somerset, six teachers with 106 pupils. During the five-year period, he said, the figures showed, there ‘has been a gain of 40 teachers and 853 children. There also has been added three kindergertens. In reality, he said, during this five- | year period, there had been created almost an entirely new school system in | this section. The valuation of school | property had increased from a total | of $33,000 to $680,000. And he con- | cluded that there had been just as great an increase in the interest of the public as the difference in the five- ‘The spe: program was inter- spersed with piano solos by Misses Dorothy Hobley and Burley Martin. During the reception there was a plano and violin concert by Mrs. Amelia Olm- stead and her two sons, Hugo and Flournoy. On the platform, in addition to the speakers, were E. Brooke Lee, Silver Spring, speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates; Dr. Benjamin C. Perry, chairman of the board of county com- missioners, and in direct charge of the western _ metropolitan _ district; Dr. George E. Lewis, supervisor of school property; Mrs. Walter Perry and ‘Thomas W. Pyle, principal of the new high school.
