Investigations, Legislation Other eventualities a r e official Investigations of t h e entire educational system on t h e city or State level. In-recent years tw&'such demands were thrown Into City Council hoppers. They came to naught. Eric J . Treulich, Councilman from Queens, tells t h e Brooklyn Kagle he soon will introduce another resolution calling for a new evaluation of progressive education. On another front, parents of school children a r e putting pressure on State Senators to do something about their complaints. Some have even gotten to the ear* of their Congressmen. T h e theory is that, since they are called to vote on Federal aid to school? they should do some private inquiry. Should these efforts come to naught, the parentsgrabb i n g a t straws, so t o speakwould be willing to settle for the Stale to insist public school students take the same Regents exams as required of thqse in private schools. "The State guards private school students through these tests, to assure them an adequate education, yet no uc.h provision Is made for elementary public schools," ther point out.
