During his tenure there, his teams won 21 of 29 played in the last three years. This was in the tough Met ropolitan League. At Astoria, Thompson was faced with a king size building job.

The selection of Thompson brings another coach who will be using the split-T offense here. This fact should help the club of this year, since the same type offense was installed here last year by tc-Kiuna. Records reveal, that Thompson . is one of the (inest defense coach es in the state. Ecklund, who was' an opposing coach while he was i at Gresham, will agree. Experience Impressive I Thompson's playing experience is also impressive. He was first team center for the Portland Pilots, and as No. 1 cen ter at Clark JC. he was selected to the-Junior College All - Ameri can team.

Simons said, "Roy Thompson is one of the better young coaches in the stale. We're very pleased I to get him and know that he is a ' real student of . football. 1 know I he will fit nicely into the commu-' nity, and 1 feel he is the type of i person Roseburg-will welcome. He! is highly regarded in Astoria. Un-1 der his guidance, the football pro-1 gram there has tripled." Lauded By Ecklund , Ecklund commented, "R o y Thompson is a fine football coach. My Gresham teams played his in the Metropolitan League, and the defense used by his teams was one of the best the Gresham team faced. His teams ran a fine split T, and 1 feel he will handle the Indians real well. I know the kids will like him and his coaching." Thompson submitted his resigna tion at Astoria the same day he was informed of his selection to the Roseburg position. When contacted by The News Review, Thompson stated: "My family and I are looking forward to living in Roseburg1 and know we will like it. I'm happy to be of fered the football post at Rose burg High and feel there are some fine players there." The signing of Thompson ended a search of slightly over a month for a coach to replace Ecklund. Many applications from coaches in this state and neighboring slates were received by officials and screened before the selection was made. The Indians will open the 1958 season on Sept. 12, hosting Ash land. Following this game, the Tribe will meet Corvallis, Grants Pass, South Eugene, Springfield, North Bend.

Much Class Time Now Devoted To Dress Discussions An important facet of school life nowadays is a growing movement throughout the country with seri ous class discussions about be havior and dress. These are encouraged by PTA groups, educators, and others as a way to combat what some people say is a trend to excessive casual ness which does, at times, border on carelessness. The thought behind the whole idea is that a boy who is tidy about the way he dresses will be prob ably want to be tidy in his work and general behavior. Being well dressed is easy (or the young fol low if when buying needed items tor nis DacK-to-scnooi outiit we show him that his clothes are se lected first, according to (unction.

Fisher, who is also president of the Douglas County School Board Assn., attended the convention which vs held in Miami Beach, Fla. Keynote speaker at the event was John L. Burns president of the Radio Corp. of America. The speaker announced that RCA will establish, in collaboration with New York University, a unique $100,000 Education Television Work shop to develop and disseminate the most effective television teach ing techniques for the nation's schools. Declaring that television and oth er electronic teaching aids can "bring about a massive upgrading of our educational standards," Burns said that RCA will set up the Workshop at New York University. He said the company will also sup port a University Professorship in Educational TV at NYU to provide supervision for the workshop. "Primary aim of this project," he said, "is to serve the public schools of the United States and to henefit nil education. The work shop will bring together tne nest ideas of piofessional educators, re sponsible laymen in the education movement. Droaocasiers ana ex peris in the graphic arts. Exciting Possibilities "Through continual experimenta tion, it will strive to develop more imaginative and stimulating pre sentation in every subject (rom atmnic cmM.gy l0 zoology in New York. Dr. John E. Ivey, Jr., executive vice president of New York University, said in a statement: "Television offers excit ing possibilities for improving the range and quality of American edu cation. Bet to realize these possi bilities fully, we must translate erlnmtinrinl obiectives into a con tent and form suited to the tele vision medium. We feel that the Educational Television Workshop is an important and practical step to achieve this goal, v and we are happy to play a part in u. Burns went on to say that "the challenge confronting American schools today is to critical that it calls for sweeping new approaches to all aspects of education, especi ally to tne proDiem oi commiini caiion between teacher and stu dent." He said that electronics can go lone wav toward helning to raise today's educational standards and meet tomorrow s staggering neeus. It offers a "realistic solution" to the present shortages of teachers and facilities, the prospect of high er salaries for outstanding teach ers, and the opportunity for more individualized instruction.

"This ability has been confirmed conclusively .' he went on, "by. tliei great strides made in the experi ments now unaer way. ei me peo ple who have worked most inti mately In tilts field are acutely aware of cne major shortcoming. The big need, they say, is to de velop teaching talent and lesson content that will take fullest ad vantage of television's priceless po tentialities, o "In an effort to meet this need, the Educational Television Work shop is being established. It is be ing established to create and de velop, through research, the most effective aural' and visual tech niques for classroom television and to make available the results of this research to teachers' colleges, elementary and secondary schools, and other interested educational groups.', "We will completely equip a stu dio that will serve as a laboratory for experimentation of the various techniques of classroom TV. We will maintain and service the equip ment for one full year. And we wilt draw on NBC s skill and re sources to provide guidance in graphic arts presentation and broadcast techniques. Classroom Television Burns said that the potential of television and other new electronic teaching tools is so great that it is fascinating to visualize "lhe school of tomorrow." "Televiccd lessons will originate from a central building having per haps four or five master studios," he expla:ned. "The lessons will be carried into classrooms all over a city or an entire county. "Because of the television cam era's ability to magnify tiny ob jects, hundreds of students peer ing at classroom receivers Ufrough out the city will have front-row seats for the lessons and demon strations. - "When events justify it, there is no technical reason why all schools throughout the country could not be t ed toaether in one vast eau- cational network lo take advantage of television's magic gift for thrust ing millions of spectators at once into the lap of hislory-in-lhe-mak-ing." "On the teacher's desk, the tra ditional bright red apple will have been replaced by a multiple-control nanel and magnetic tape players. The tape machines will run pre recorded lessons especially geared to the level of tne suraems, rang ing (rom the slow learners to those who are hUhly advanced.

Highlights of science, symphony concerts lectures by world famous (igures all these and more will be available, conveniently and eco nomically, on video tape. If the classroom teacher wants to refer to a library book, he will simply consult his 'television di rectory' and dial a number. Instant ly, a microfilm edition of the book will appear on the TV screen. Summing up the advantages of television. Burns cited the follow ing points: "First, It can raise the quality of instruction by extending the in fluence of the best teachers in your own school system and intro ducing if you prefer the best teachers in the nation on video tape." Dignitoritt Visit "Second television enables you to call tipun men of specalized ta lent in your own communities (or occasional lectures. And it pro vides an opportunity (or bringing into the classroom again through video tape the greatest minds of our times: Men like Carl Sandburg and Arnold Tnvnhen nn histrnv. Dr. Jonas Salk on medical re- research Wernher von Braun on outer space, Dag Hammarskjold on diplomacy, Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture, and Robert Frost on literature. "Third, television can extend the classroom to limitless fields. To missile ranges and inside atomic reactors. To planes in flight and legislatures in session. To living bacertia i.nii cells, and to galaxies of evolving stars. To points on and beneath the land and sea. "Fourth, television through more efficient use of teachers and classrooms can ease the great shortages now plaguing our schools, and at the same time to provide more attention to students' Indivi dual needs. "Fifth television promised great reduction in the cost of education per student and enables schools to match the salaries that now lure some of our finest teachers into other fields. I should caution that this will only happen when broad and effective uses are made of television," he laid. Five Canyonville .
