Grant Given
To Glide Boy
Charles F. Starnes, a Glide High
School senior, has received a re
search grant from the Oregon
Academy of Science. He is one of
11 Oregon students presented
grants.
During the coming year he will
work on electrical 'Circuit relays
that will operate an electric type
writer and automatically typed
tapes that have had information
punched on them.
Starnes received $14 to assist
him in his work. Grants are small
this year because of limited funds
in the newly - founded program.
The money is supplied annually by
the American Assn. for the Ad
vancement of Science and from
contributions made by a California
banker, C. M. Goethe of Sacra
mento. The grants,- which range from
$5 to $17, were started a year ago
to "stimulate interest of secondary
students in science," according to
Dr. F. A. Gilfillan, dean of science
at Oregon State College and Acad
emy secretary.
Citizenship Depends
Upon Many Factors,
According To Report
Whether or not a child grows up
lo be a good citizen depends on a
lot more than how thoroughly he is
taught the Declaration of lndelend
ence. It's his relationships with other
people, his daily environment, the
kinds of satisfactions he achieves,
that make what he studies about
democracy really count. This is
Ihe consensus of experts as inter,
preled in a 120-page report re
leased recently.
Just how complex is this business
of developing democralic values
and how much responsionity ne-
longs to the public schools is de- conies from families of the profes

The book was prepared as a
guide lo teachers and other who
are seeking better ways to help
children acquire democratic valu
es. So far, according to the intro
duction, unsupported opinion on
this subject has been far more
available than actual findings of
study and research. N
Factor Important
One factor found to make for
cood social learning is learning to
use Ihe tools of communication
reading, writing, speaking com-
pelenlly and intelligently. Here
the school has an obvious respon -
sihility. But, the report adds, all i
the "social learnings which mark
Ihe good citizen are also the re
sponsibility of the school. Some
examples: Learning respect and
confidence in oneself and others,
concern for Ihe common welfare,
common loyalties, recognition of
likenesses and differences, integra
tion of differences to make a bet
ter pattern for all, respect for
uniqueness, and In general, bearing
good feeling for oneself and oth
ers. An individual who has learned
Ihese values, says the study, not j
only trusts himself, his rights and.
leelings. nut also trusts mners,
their rights and feelings. "For him
Ihe general welfare so supersedes ,
selfish interests that he finds it in- (
Inlrrahle to seek his happiness at
the expense of others.'
Despite valiant efforts, the re-
port says, "many children do not I Improvements to Yoncalla
