BETHESDA, Md., July 6--(/P)- Newf angled education methods may be okay for a guinea pig. But a group of parents here in- sist that if children are involved, you still can't beat readin', writin' and 'rithmetic. About 40 of them from several schools in this county (it's a sub- urb of Washington, D.C.) have got together to list 26 reasons why they think modern schooling misses the educational boat. Resolved Parents "We believe that our public 'Dodsworth' To Be Shown Huston, Chatterton Head All-Star Cast 'Dodsworth," screen version of the best-selling novel by Sinclair Lewis, will be shown at 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Hill Audi- torium. The film, which is the second summer presentation by the Art Cinema League, features Walter Huston in the title role; Ruth Chatterton, as his wife; Mary As- tor and Paul Lukas, as acquain- tances of the family. Supporting players includeI David Niven, Maria Ouspenskaya' and John Payne. William Wyler directed the production. The story, which was adapted for the screen by Sidney Howard, recounts the events in a Continen- tal tour made by Dodsworth, a re- tired middle western motor mag- net, and his family. In Europe, Dodsworth's wife be- comes enamoredswith an impov- erished young American aristocrat and demands a divorce. When she learns that her lover's mother will not permit him to marry a di- vorced woman, she returns to her husband. Dodsworth, meanwhile, has met and fallen in love with an American divorcee. Suddenly real- izing his wife's selfishness, he re- jects her and returns to the wom- en he loves. schools should exist for the pri- mary purpose of training our chil- dren in the essentials of knowl- edge, namely reading, writing (not printing or script), arithmetic, spelling, language, phonics, Ameri- can history, American geography, and civics. "We therefore resolve that the present system of education which is based on the experimental phil- osophy, and which has not pro- duced the scholastic results we know our children are capable of achieving, be discontinued imme- diately. U npsychological Americans "We further believe that ou children are capable, intelligent, healthy, normal young Ameri- cans. "We therefore resolve that they be so regarded; that they not be treated as guinea pigs, behavior- istic, psychiatric, personality, oi social problems." Mrs. Duncan H. Brooks, mother of three and one of the leaders of the group, told a reporter today that if a parent poll could be tak- en, she feels sure a majority woulk agree with her. "Many parents won't say any- thing publicly," she said. "But they call me and tell mc what thc, think. They're afraid to hav their names used for fear of re- taliation on their children. Isn't that pitiful?" One Community Although this movement is strictly a one-community affair, Mrs. Brooks said: "From what I hear, parents al over the country may feel pretty much as we do." Dr. Edwin W. Broome, Counh~ School Superintendent, declined to comment until the objections are a little more specific. And so John H. Hiser, a thealre owner, promptly supplied him with one: He thinks there's too muc use of notebooks, to be filled in by' the youngsters, rather than text- books.
