TEACHING THE THREE R'S
iiaHHaai
J tjiv ' i
By CHARLES
"Lef get our schools back to the three R'e." How fre
quently do you hear that thought expressed in these days of
hig-h school taxes. Throughout the country protest is heard
i against modern educational -
for a. "return to the fundamentals." What are the "funda
mentals" of education? Is it
drilled in the rote of readin,'
the purpose of education the
intelligently the exigencies of life?
Life today is much more complex than in the past. Until
a mere 25 years ago our economy was largely based on
agriculture. Our temno of living was slow compared with
that of today. The three It's
preparation for life in grandfathers day, but grandfather
wasn't too much concerned with neon lights, motion pic
tures, automobiles, airplanes, radio, television, motor buses,
streamlined trains, stratocruisers, jet planes, atom bombs,
hydrogen bombs, guided missiles, juke boxes, radar, sub
marines, and Einstein theories.
World Shrinking In Timt And Space
, Grandfather's geography concerned far away places. But
there are no far away places today. Any major city of the
world is. only a few hours distant. Grandfather's history
was a collection of dates, names and places. History today
is a living thing, closely related to everyday life.
When grandfather was graduated from school he entered
a business field in which the general merchandise store
prevailed. Production lines in industry were virtually un
known. People lived at a slow pace. The proprietor or man
ager of a business had time to train new help. Ability to
read, write and "figger" fitted a man for a job. In today's
business and industrial world a job applicant has little
opportunity without preparatory, specialized training.
Social Changes Burden Schools
Grandfather's father was a stern disciplinarian. He taught
grandfather to be a God-fearing, upright and honest citizen.
He taught him the use of tools, how to build, and how to
do a man's work. Grandmother was taught by her mother
to sew, to cook, to manage a household, to rear children
and perform duties demanded
to set up her own home.
But then came electric lights. The family no lunger re
tired when darkness fell. Young people began to stay out
late at night, convincing the older generation that the young
sters were the most worthless the world had known. And
then came motion pictures and automobiles, further de
teriorating the American home.
Father is too busy today with clubs and committees to
train Junior, while mother is too occupied with her bridge
clubs to teach Suzy the intricacies of the electric kitchen,
or the operation of the electric sewing machine.
So our schools have introduced courses in manual train
ing, agriculture, home economics, etc., taking over the re
sponsibility formerly resting upon parents. That the kids
are getting good instruction, is amply demonstrated at any
community, county or state fair, where they walk away with
sweepstake prizes. .
But the spiritual training, once given in the home, still
Is not furnished in the schools, which may, in part, account
for he rising tide of juvenile delinquency.
Fundamentals More Than Three R's
Today's youth needs far more in the way of education
than did his father or his grandfather. No longer can we
say that the three R's constitute the fundamentals of edu
cation. Today's child must 1ms educated to live in a world of
power. Where his grandfather worked with his hands, or
had available the strength of a team of horses, a workman
today deals with motors of many horsepower, multiplying
by thousands the strength of his hands. In the business
or industrial field he is a part of a highly organized,
competitive operation. .Science,
further than in all the previous years of man's history. Time
and distance have become almost non-existent. The tejupo
of life Is accelerating daily.
Our modern schools have introduced many things some
people call "frills" but how many of those so-called frills
have become necessary to a well rounded education because
of the changes in our social and economic structure?
Do we want our children educated in the three U's only?
Are they the exclusive fundamentals of education?

Sees 'Extravagance' In
Money-Spending Plans
ROSEBURG I wish to protest
the money-spendinn-minded people
who are it the head of some of
the county and city offices. If they
want to spend monry, Irt I hem use
their own or move on to where
there are like-minded people. It
seems that extravagance is the
only virtue in many of the projects
proposed.
The cost of building is entirely
out of reason as, for instance, in
revard to housing for Rose-burg. 1
think the amount they named for

enough that our children be

preparation of youth to meet
might have been sufficient
of her when the time came
in 25 vears, has progressed
a survey should build the houses.
What is considered a reasonable
rent for a workini! man? I believe
rents in general are too hinh and 1
believe we, as a people, have at
tacked the wrong end to reduce
cost of living.
And. in renard to strikes, it looks
like the strikers are poutv kids. If
there are to be strikes. I think U
should be the consumer. If some
of these producers, distributors and
sinkers had to beg a little to sell
their product and have a job, it
might teach them a lesson

CANT thing about the Florida
primary is "that the big labor peo
ple went down there to defaat
Smathera because he was for the
Taft-Hartley law." He adds: "The
people of Florida were FOR the
Taft-Hartley law, and I believe that
indicates the attitude In other
states."
Jack Kroll. director of the CIO
political action committee (which
fought Smathera tooth and nail)
views the Florida results as "the
triumph of a sinister conspiracy to
impose upon our country a cruel
rnd reactionary program." '
He adds:
"The tactics we have just seen in
Florida will be used in every state,
and this challenge will be met."
aaa
S MATHERS himself, by the way,
calls the election "a victory of
liberalism as opposed to radical
ism." It is proof, he says, that "the
people of Florida do not wish to
venture off down the side roads of
extremism or socialism."
aaa
WILLIAM Boyle, Democratic na
tional chairman, plays the
cards close up against his vest. He
congratulates Smathera on his vic
tory, and wires Pepper (who will
be a voting member of the Senate
until next January):
We are still depending on you
for support in the Democratic par
ty's battle against recationary
Republicanism."
aaa
WHAT about Pepper:
Well, he Just issues a statement
expressing appreciation to his
noble, gallant army of support
ers for what they did for him.
He would have appreciated it
m ire. I take it, if they had done
MORE for him, out anyway he puts
it gracefully.
aaa
ANE is reminded somehow of
V '''march's story about Aris
tides (called The Just) in his g
political battle with Themistocles.
On election day, Aristides was
walking the streets of Athens when
he was accosted by a strange citi
en from out in the sticks. The citi
zen couldn't write, so he asked
Aristides to mark his ballot for him
AGAINST Aristides.
He agreed, but wanted to know
why the citizen was going to vote
that way. "Has this Aristides ever
injured you?" he asked.
"No." the citizen replied. "'Never
have I set eyes on him But oh! I
am so bored by hearing him called
Aristides the Just."
aaa
THAT happened some 2,000 years
ago. The underlying principles
of politics, including why people
vote the way they do, don't vary
much, you aee, from century to
century.
Sunday over the respective
merits of Gov. Herman Talmadge
and former Gov. M. E. Thompson.
The son-in-law was killed and the
older man seriously wounded.
The dead man was Scab L. New
Ion. 57 year - old Newton county
farmer. Newton's father-in-law,
!.ee Proctor, was hit twice with
bullets from a revolver. He was
rciwrted in serious condition in a
hospital.
Deputy Sheriff Walter Johnson
said Newton'a widow told him the
men had been arguing about Tal
madge and Thompson, bitter poli
tical riva'i currently campaigning
for gove.Ttor.
Reading this in the May, 1870
Godey'a Lady's Book suggested to
me that here might be the origin
of the deep-seated aversion to
green held by some women I
had a cousin who would not be
prevailed upon to "wear green," j
but could give no reason for it ;
and I have known of others, have-1
n't you? (As for me I love it:)
! Mig.t not the warning circulated
by the editor of the Lady's Bonk
have outlasted the need of it at
the time? For there is no barm
in green dyes now surely!
"Green ball dresses are always
much in fashion for the fair com
plexioned ladies whom they siu't.
But the bright green which looks
so charming carries death with
it, and the dressmakers who make
up the dresses, and the ladies
who wear them, suffer from the
affects of the arsenite of copper
which givea tha much admired
dye.
"I wrote to the firm who sup
plied the sample I examined, and
in reply they say, 'We are aware
that the green batiste contains
arsenic in the dye, and some
time since we gave instructions
to our assistants to mention it to
all customers purchasing it and be
Stockman Hits
NW Freight Rates
WASHINGTON (. Rep.
Stockman (R-Ore) told the Uousc
Saturday producers in the Pacific
rvortnwest "are losing out" in
I eastern and midwestern markets
because freight rate increases are
j made on a percentage basis.
He said the overall average
J freight rate increases since June
1948 have totaled 57 J percent.
I "While freight rates have been
increased all over the nation"
.Stockman said, "the percentage
1 method of increases which bus
hecn followed in creating for the
; Pacific Northwest a most unfair
disadvantage that is beginning to
stifle its economy."
I Stockman said in a speech for
I the House that he had made a
thorough study of freight rates
which shows that of all the 4
states Washington and Oregon
have the poorest position from
which to reach large markets.
Producers in no other states, he
I said, have to buy so many miles
i of transportation to get thair
I goods to large population and mar
; ket centers.
He aaid he had urged the Inter
state Commerce commission to
find a fairer formula for freight
rate increases.
The commission replied, lit

lieve it now generally known by
ladies, but feel compelled to keep
it to prevent our customers going
elsewhere'."
"It is certainly not generally
known by ladies that this green
is arsenite of copper, and I am
sure that a hint from you would
save many a dressmaker from the
evils to which she is now sub
jected ..."
So Louis A. Godey Included in
his "Arm Chair" department this
dire warning to his feminine read
era who were risking lives to wear
green, their own and the dress
makers'! Godey'a book also included I
hint now and then for the head
of the house, such aa this one:
"If people planting orchards
would give orders to mark the
north sido of the trees with red
chalk before taken up, and when
set out, havt the trees put in the
ground with their north side to
the north in tha natural position,
a larger proportion would live.
Ignoring this law of nature is the
cause of so many transplanted
trees dying. If the north side is
exposed to the south, the heat of
the sun is too great for that side
of the tree to bear, and, therefore,
it dries up and decays."
said, that "the distant producer
is now faced with the alternative
of going out of business, of reduc
ing his production to a demand
which can be served profitably or
of cultivating new markets."
Stockman said lumber ratea
from Oregon to Philadelphia were
38 cents higher than from Missis
sippi to Philadelphia before the
war but now are 45 cents higher.
He quoted other pre-war and
present-day rates to show how
Washington and Oregon are "los
ing out."
He said the rate on canned
fruits, for example, has been so
disadvantageous that production
in Washington and Oregon de
creased from a pre-war 18.9 per
cent to a present-day 14.1 percent
of the nation's production.
