Students Get Close Look
Of Government In Action
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON ? "Appointment
n Washington." a new program of- |
fering a close-up of government In
iction as a unique educational
project, is being promoted by the
rlty fathers for t#uring high school
itudents.
The new project, modeled on a
pilot operation successfully worlc
?d out last spring, is directed es
pecially to junior and senior high
school undergraduates who would
?e encouraged to visit their na
tion's capital during the fall and
mid-semester seasons. Material
gained from their first-hand experi
ences and interviews with top
igency heads could be used for
term papers and classroom discus
sion.
The Greater National Capital [
Committee, which arranged govern-1
mc-nt orientation tours, with 10
top cabinet officials setting aside
specific days to meet the groups
and guide them on tours through,
their ac'->ncies. says most of the:
half-million students who cram ,
the city each spring are seniors.
about to graduate and whose acad-!
emic term is almost over.
* "We're attempting to sell school
principals, teachers and pareats on
the Idea of fall and mid-year three
day tours" a GN'CC official told
me. "We've supplied advance ma
terial already to some 15.000 high
schools. Buses and airlines at-?
working with us. The plan ought
to be a (great success. Ninety per
cent of the educators are in favor
of it."
In January Congress will be in
session, and members V >m tho
students' home districts will be ask
ed to .show them through the Capi
tol building to let them "get the
feel" of history in the making by
sitting in the v. Mis of the House
and Senate.
This "extension of the classroom
to Washington" has been long
sought bv teaehers, civic leaders
and students themselves.
Secretary of the Treasury George
Humphrey, who participated in
last spring's program, says that
"giving thes? young visitors a
broader insight into the conduct of
public affairs here in the nation's
canital will nav large and better
citizenship - dividends in years to
come."
