Withnell has been praised for his work with the Roseburg High School band. , "In my opinion, our band is sec ond best to none," M. C. Deller, superintendent, said. "Withnell has brought increased interest to our instrumental music program," Deller added. Withnell is filling a position va cated by Joe Scallon who has ac cepted the principalship at Hu crest School.

He also served two years as drum major for the University of Oregon marching band. Must Train Early "I firmly believe that the suc cess of the high school program, which is our ultimate measurement of the over-all band program, is dependent upon a well planned and successful grade and junior high school program," Lenneville said. He went on to say that "the high school band program is important in its own right and for its own sake, due to the fact that the high school has the only musical or ganization of its kind to represent the city of Roseburg and the school system at local and out town unctions." Lenneville said he nlans on the high school band performing be fore the public at every opportun ity. The new director said his bands have never received less than a superior rating at any contest. Sewing Machine Makes Good Gift Gifts for the school bound are either the small, inexpensive, al ways welcome accessory, or the bigger, more important necessity that lasts through school years and into their chosen careers. In this latter category, a gift gaining in importance is the port able electric sewing machine. Budget wise coeds have always known that they can give free reign to their imagination in crea ting school and play clothes that 'are smartly different with the aid of a sewing machine. Home economics and design classes have served as an inspira tion for many teen-agers who take pride in creating their own ward robes. These much admired girls are never at a loss for a new dress and usually have an eviable wardrobe for a modest investment. Pattern-makers have kept pace with this demand, and have made available easy-to-follow paper pat terns in the very latest styles. College girls have found that portable sewing machine is a fine way to pick up extra cash. In any dorm or boarding house there are always hems to be shortened and small alterations to be made. Just post your fee schedule and follow through ! The knowledge ot sewing gained in their school vears will stand every girl in good stead whether she goes on to nomemaking or a career. As you can see a portable elec tric sewing machine is a "now" and "later" gift that she'll derive benefits from for years to come.

Aug. 13. 1958 Th Nswi-Rsview, Roseburg, Or. i Thinking, Not Glibness Needed In Talented Students, Says Magazine Social studies teachers need to push academically talented stu dents past their abilities to be "glib" to real critical thinking at all grade levels, the National Council for the Social Studies con cludes in a new publication re leased recently. Schools cannot be satisfied to teach their brightest students only i collection of facts and dates in history. These children who will be tomorrow's leaders must under stand signiticance of social events," commented Merrill F. Hartshorn, executive secretary of the Council for the Social Studies. The Council is a department of the National Education Association. The 12 authors of the Council's new 128 page study titled, "T h e Social Education of the Academ ically Talented," agree that "no school has discovered a surefire or foolproof scheme for satisfying the appetites of its gifted students." But they stress that "because bright children are often handy with words and able to make gen eral statements freely, it is easy to overestimate the adequacy of their information . . , They ought to be able to describe or explain kinds of conditions, events, or problems. - The authors also come out for a stronger guidance program, es oecially at the crucial ninth grade point when a student maps out his high school program of elect ive!. "At the magic ninth year," the study states, "the child is sud denly empowered to determine his own future.' The authors warn, "The func tion of education is to open doors . . .The child should not be free to close doors before he even knows where thev lead." The type of situation in which the talented student should be taught social studies is not resolv ed, the authors state. But these situations seem the best: 1. Grouping. Talented students usually in the high school only are taught in special classes with students of like ability. 2. Enricncd classes. At all grade levels, talented students can take on special projects within the framework of the regular class. These projects must be more than "busy work" or "drill." Students can give special reports or edit and historical newspaper, reporting the eveuts of the period -which they are studying. 3. Snecial seminars set up as elective courses. The writings of political philosophers, such as Macniaveiii or jonn JjOckc, are among the subjects studied. 4. Block scheduling for better coorelation of subjects. At some schools, three subjects such as European history, English litera ture, and the fine - arts are taught as an integrated course. 5. Mo-e elective courses. The larger high schools give' students a chance to study ancient History, Far Eastern history, etc.. plus the regular American and world his tory courses. 6. Extracurricular activities. The authors warn, however, that these cannot take the place of critical learning in the classroom. A good social studies course should provide these rewards to the bright sludent: A. Information and understand inc. Facts are. after all. the basis of social studies, and the talent ed student should realize tneir sig nificance and relationships to oth er facts. B. Thinking Relationships "ought not to be oversimplified for bright students," the study warns. Especially on tests, the brightest students can often see several kinds of relationships or causes. Texts should go beyond facts and "center on aeptn ot understand ing." C. Study skills and work habits Bright students tend to let their reading and writing skius lag De cause they can easily meet av erage standards. Special research Daocrs and reports representing original organization challenge the top student to sharpen up their basic skills through note - taking and report writing. D. Values, attitudes, and social sensitivitv. Gifted children of all ages should be trained to see their own responsibilities in the condi tions of people about them. They should "react" to situations such as an American slum street or a French political campaign. E. Ability to participate in dis cussion. Bright students should learn to organize their ideas in a discussion, propose solutions, re alize the need for organization ana a sense of responsibility in opinion groups. The authors state that while the talented sludent can make easy adjustments to learning, ha prob lems often are social ones. Teach ers have the responsibility to help bright students gain acceptance. . . How can be expect to gain social leadership if he calls their (those of his classmates) games pusillanimous (instead ot snim-ish)?" The authors warn, however. that social leadership is not ne cessarily Imperative. "It would be an error to help the child gain so cial approval through joining the crowd when he has little interest in the ventures. . . GET YOUR NEW Sizes From 28" Waist AT 3J5 518 S. E.
