REVOLUTION AIMED WRONG
Charles V. Stanton
Prospects of a "revolution" against basic school stand
ards, as proposed by Dudley Walton, a KosebtiiK attorney,
member of the school district board, doubtless will receive
much support. The proposal, however, should be examined
carefully and should not be approved under the stimulus of
emotion. Irreparable harm could be done our educational
system by hasty spur-of-the-moment action. Every phase
should be thoroughly examined.
Walton is touching upon a very sore spot in our school
program.
I'cople voted a basic school tax to be paid out of funds
collected by the state. The purpose of the fund is to equal
ize to a degree the revenue of school districts. The effect
has been, however, to increase the slate hold over school
standards, for it is possible to withhold basic school funds
from districts failing to measure up to requirements and
standards set by the State Department of Education.
Probably our dislike of this situation may be measured
more by the fact that we can be "forced" than by any
studied disagreement with standards. Personally, I doubt
very much if we could cut more than a relatively few dol
lars from the proposed budget without greatly impairing ed
ucational opportunity. 1 doubt if school patrons would be
satisfied with a much lower degree of efficiency. It seems
to me that efficiency isn't too high now. But that's onlyj
my opinion.
Budget Is
'Austere"
The Koseburg district school budget, rejected last week
by 'Voters, is admitted by Walton to be "austere," based
upon existing requirements and standards. While minor re
ductions may be made before
. i i i j i ii 1
VOlcm, no substantial reduction can be expected, W alton
agrees, within the limitations
of Education.
Further reductions might
fied state regulations and erected sub-standard school
buildings, Increased class loads over prescribed maximums,
reduced supervisory personnel below state requirements,
and otherwise departed from the policies set for all Oregon
schools.
The question is whether such reductions would meet
with approval from school patrons and whether enough
money would be saved to justify lessened efficiency.
It is true that we resent compulsory-colored controls
from the state. In our school system we demand local au
tonomy. Yet we have voted controls into the hands of the
Stale Department of Education and even now are appeal
ing for federal aid to schools, opening the door for regu
lation from Washington. '
It seems to me that the place for a "revolution" is not
in our school district, with the
suffer loss of educaUonal opportunity, and may have h f- j
ficulty and - or expense getting into institutions of higher
education, but that we should go to the legislature fori
changes in the law changes restoring local autonomy,
in any event, reckless or ill-considered decisions should be
avoided. Any action should be preceded by careful and
thorough exploration. No action should be prompted sole
ly by emotion.

is CBS President Frank Stanton's

Butler in a challenging manner,
"then maybe another look should
