County Executive Hits Resolution Of School Board Howard A. Mayo Chesterfield County planner and assistant to the county executive secretary, last night cirticized a resolution adopted by the Chesterfield School Board which would place greater emphasis on instruction for superior students. Mayo made his remarks in a talk before the Bon Air Civic Association at the Bon Air Community House. Mayo said it would not be advisable to start a new curriculum that would be primarily for the benefit of genuises while allowing the rest of the program for less gifted children to lag. The school board's resolution was introduced by John W.

Russell, a board member, and provides for a study of the school system with special attention to the curriculum. It has been suggested, as a part of the study, that gifted children should have special instruction to develop their capabilities. The resolution also calls for a greater emphasis on quality rather than quantity. Mayo asserted last night that all children should have the benefit of instruction which will make the most of their qualifications. CLEAN SWEEP ANDERSON, S.
