Patriotism Is A 'Must1 In School Texts
In a recent address, the president
' of Brigham Younj? University indica
ted some of the school pupils of the
ountry were probably being jfiven
) short shrift on the subject of patriot
J ism.
J He b a s e d his conclusion on a
j study made by This Week Magazine
a which shows that some of the more
important patriotic statements made
J by our founding fathers were being
omitted from many school textbooks,
i According to President Ernest
i Wilkinson's quotations from the
study, Patrick Henry s "give me lib
erty or give me death" address was
found in only three of 45 modern
textbooks surveyed. He says .the
iiatriotism-building statement by Na
than Hale (executed by the British
ns a spy) that "I only regret that
I have but one life to lose for my
country" was fdund in only one of !
the surveyed books. "I have not yet
begun to fight," the cry uttered by
doughty John Paul Jones, Wilkinson
said, was found in none of the new
books surveyed.
Wilkinson sees this as a t r e n d
which needs to be reversed. He says
the Btirvey compared the new books
with some published before 1920, and
the statements were far more preva
lent in the older books.
A spot survey of Douglas County
schools shows happily that pupils
here are not victims of that trend.
The ringing statements which are
the heart and soul of American his
tory and the development of our
ntlemocracy are still as loud and
clear to the youngsters here as they
'were to their parents and grandpa r-
ents.
The textbooks in the Roseburg
district include all of these state-
ments. The same is , true of both .
tSutherlin and Myrtle Creek. Suther
lin social studies teacher John Mur
phy says his eighth grude textbook
contains most of the great state
jjments. In addition, he insists h i s
tfpupils learn sections of the Declara
tion of Independence and preamble
to the Constitution, as well as other
Vvmajor pronouncements.
Forest Loghry of Myrtle Creek
liigh school social science teacher in
sists the danger of losing these great -statements
as part of patriotic teach
ing is there, but not at Myrtle Creek.
He said two or three years ago; the
texts at Myrtle Creek were even
"short changed" because these state
ments were not included. But with
a change in textbooks, the young
people are not being cheated.
Stipt. M. C. Deller in Roseburg
emphasized that in addition to text
books containing the great state
ments, a host of supplementary read
ing and films reflect the buoyant,
patriotic fervor which made this na
tion great.
On the state level, the trend is
also set for development of patriot
ism. This year the state Department
of Education released a 56-page re
source unit for teachers called "Our
Living American Heritage" to guide
teachers. In the foreward. Supt. of
Public Instruction Leon P. Minear
sounded the keynote : "We know that
Oregon teachers have been and are
teaching patriotism to their students
with devotion and zeal. There is no
want of history to attest this fact.
But the times have compounded our
problems, and history is merciless.
Every national decision today must
be heroic. We must intensify our ef
forts to assure that every American
citizen every student who leaves
our schools has the intellectual and
emotional foundation to make his pa
triotism heroic.
"It is the purpose of this resource
unit to assist junior and senior high
school teachers in leading their stu-,-.
dents to an attainment of that high
sense of values and magnificent re
solve called patriotism, through a
close understanding of our living
American heritage."
It is evident that Douglas County,
and apparently the rest of Oregon,
are on the right track, but educators,
school boards and educational associ-
ntions should continue to be watch
dogs on' this matter. Texts omitting
these great statements, which give
a soul to the historic ideals that made
ours the most powerful and enlight
ened country in history, should not
be given preference when the tests
are selected.
We need to use every means pos
sible to teach our children to love
their nation and its ideals and to
promote its continuing growth and
vigor with loyalty and patriotism.
And this isn't just a job for the
schools. It should be part of the fab
, vie of home training as well.
THE LIGHTER SIDE:
New Ribbon Is
Typist's Delight
The Almanac
...SSVaW
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (Ul'l) The
U. S. Patent Office issued n
latent this week for u "self
correcting typewriter ribbon."
It was described as tho answer!
tq: a secretary's prayer.
ir-iA secretary 1 know put one
on tier typewriter and it worked
fine. The ribbon hasn't made a
uustako yet.
Now if only someone will in
vent a self-correcting secretary,1
ttf world will lie a better place
in which to dictate.
Actually, the "self-correcting"
IrttH'l is a bit of a misnomer.
The ribbon was not designed to
correct iu own mistakes but to
make it easier tor a secretary
Is correct hers.
tt'illiam Wolowitz, a local man
who invented it, has high hopes
that it will become a commer
cial success. He conceded, how
ever, that it is not a "panacea.'
Still Slight Probltm
In other words, the ribbon will
not solve tho problem of a sec
retary who eun't spell "pana
rea." She will still need a die
tiomiry. Or a smart office boy.
The tact that Wolowiti's in
vention is not the final answer
to typing eiror was demon
strated in a press release that
1 received from the Spollright
Corp., which markets the rib
bon. Whoever typed tho release
goofed up the patent number.
Made it 3144447 instead of
3114447.
Had the secretary who typed
the release caught the mistake
at the time, she could have cor
reeled it with tho ribbon, which
has in inked strip for typing
and chalked strip for erasing.
Hera li Procedure
The procedure is as follows
Backspace to the first 4 and
strike the key again with the
ribbon In the chalk position
That wwild erase it. The n
backspace again and hit the
figure 1 with the ribbon in the
ink position.
That done, the secretary
that typewriters of the future
should have an "error key" that
would change the ribbon posi
tion automatically.
lie feels that way because he
also has invented an error key.
At present, the erasure part
of the ribbon is white. There
fore, it only works on white
paper. But Wolowitz said plans
arc afoot to produce it in pas
tel shades, which will make it
possible to rectify 'colorful mis
takes.
There is one problem, how
ever, that, has not been solved.
The ribbon can only make eras
ures on one copy at a time.
That will prove to be a hand!-

Scripture: I John: Chapter I j
"Joy to the World" are the;
familiar words of the likewise
familar Christmas carol of like
name. But we can truly have
joy in Christmas, 1963, as we
look out upon a world torn by
strife and sin a world totter
ing on the brink of atomic holo
caust a world where men
are enslaved by the godless
idealism of communism? Can
there be joy in a world like
this?
Yes! For in our text John
said, "These things write I unto
you that your joy may be
full" (I John 1:4). What things
did he write?
John wrote that we could
have fellowship with God (v.3)
and this fellowship brings us
joy. You see, joy is not de
pendent upon our circumstanc
es, tjt upon our relationship
to God. '
Man's original fellowship with
God was broken through sin
(Genesis, chapter 3). Sin still
separates today, "God is light
. . . if wc say that we have tel
lowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie" (vs. 5, 6).
However, Christ came (the
meaning of Christmas); Christ
died for' our sins, "the blood
of Jesus Christ His Son clean
seth us from all sin" v. 7, and
thus we can have fellowship
wiUi God and joy by confessing
our sin and receiving Uie Lord
Jesus Christ as our Saviour.
Yes, we can have jey today
if we know that Christ has re
moved the barrier of sin be
tween us and God. The world
will have joy when all men turn
to Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Will this turning begin with
you? Now?

Today's newspaper is vastly
superior to the newspaper of a
quarter century ago. Instead of
the editorial voice being limited
to one person, wc find the mod

writers with their difference of

It seems to me we need a
complete change in our philoso
phy.
Instead of discouraging pri
vate industry and the invest
ment of risk capital by virtual
confiscation of profits through
taxes, we should seek to create
new jobs through encourage
ment, even participation, in in
creased production. The answer
to our problems, in my opinion
will not be found in supiwrting
featherbedding, fighting autuma

and profit. Instead, we should
be seeking to turn large sums
of private money into new in
dustry and business.
