However, there are ways of rejuven ating the interest of students in school and we read about one in this week’s issue of the Milwaukie Review which merits consideration by others. We speak of tlie week-long class room session by lilt» students of the Lewelling Grade School. The young sters spent a week in the woods just the Salvation Ulen learning the great out- As t l> e news article explained. "They studied plant and animal life, and tlie inter-relationships between them. Mother Nature suddenly came alive for the children and was not in their own element and as capable as their fellow students at counting rings in trees and finding salaman- ders.” These guided by teachers students (mainly seniors) from Oregon State University who were taking a special recreation and education class. The experience gave them a new perspec- the field of education, too, the article indicated. Looking beyond the idea of study ing the natural resources, etc. that could never be gained from their text book are the side effects of the ven ture. For instance, the youth stayed in cabins located there and learned something of being responsible for keeping their cabins clean, helping with clean-up chores, learning to live together, etc. in the great outdoors. We especially like the comments by Milwaukie Elementary Superinten dent Art Keiz: “he thought the new stature gained in the camp would car ry through when the children returned to the classroom,” and "The children were learning and they didn’t even know it.” The spiral of learning—primarily through a textbook in this day of in- The practlbility and stabilities of life that can and are engendered in our young sters through down-to-earth firsthand experiences in the process of learning, such as this experiment has revealed, is seemingly overlooked along the ed ucational route so many times. In closin ; we join with our Mil waukie cohort to say that certainly with more attempts at learning in this painless way, education could be come the pleasurable experience it is for all too few now. —J.C.

Editor SANDY POST Dear Sir: In the "Post” of April 15, 1965: in the column "Hood- Land Happenings” by The Snooper, there is reference to Raymond Sidebottom being re lated to Charles Sidebottom. Raymond Sidebottom is my fa- ther and has been a resident of the Hood-Land area for over 20 years. As was I until enter ing college In 1958. Perhaps this Information can be passed along to The Snoop er. I also see by the article that my old friend Kathy O’Brian is back in the area and I’ve been dreadfully out of touch, would love to hear from her. It might be noted that yours truly is a subscriber to The Post, via a gift subscription from my parents: to keep in touch with the people and hap- penlngs in and around the place I still call home.

For the past two years have been music director and evening DJ on the top rated station in the area, WLAN 5000 watts at 1390 in Lancaster, Pa.

Sometimes the innocent get punished along with the guilty, and where possible, school au thorities should try to ferret out the guilty party, so the in nocent will not suffer, but isn’t that the story of life itself— that when one in A FAMILY misbehaves, the whole family Suffers for it? John Donne said, "No man is an island unto himself,” and he meant that when one man suffered misbehaved suffered in Society. My children have orders to eat at the Cafeteria, pickles or no pickles. It was established for their benefit, and better than a sack lunch any day, counting our blessings!
