Inferiority Complex About High
School Deplored by Principal
Salem has an Inferiority complex about its high school, 'declared
E. A. Carleton, Salem Hifch School principal. In a talk Thursday be
fore Salem Lions Club. !
Carleton struck out at "the wild tales told at teaparties" about
Salem High students' morale and conduct. The principal maintained,
"We have a minimum oi trouble and we are proud ox our school.'
His comments were among ob
servations on Salem High's curri
culum, policies and standing
which he passed on to the service
club in an after-luncheon talk at
the Marion HoteL
He said SHS graduates are well
prepared for college work if they
have planned for further study.
And there's also good training here
for the slow learners and poorly
adjusted students, he averred.
Although the school is large, its
classes are held to 25 to 35 stu
dents, Carleton pointed out. Be
cause it's large. .he added, SHS
enjoys the advantages .of special
education programs for handicap
ped, special testing and counsel
ing, large library, visual aids and
other educational facilities which
not all small schools can have. !
Carleton urged the businessmen
oT his audience to remember that
the high school student body to
day Is far different from that of
20 or 30 years ago, as almost
everyone goes through high school
now. Formerly many youths of
low achievement potential simply
dropped out of school along the
way and went to work. That meant
the eventual high school graduates
tended to be a select group, not
merely a cross-section group as
now.
In his comment on tongue-
clucklng about the conduct of
some students. Principal Carleton
called attention to the fact that
Salem High-with 1,800 students is
larger than 172 of Oregon's towns
towns which, he said, find po
licing necessary to prevent or meet
occasional trouble from Individ
U a Is.

Mayor's "Dog
Gets Him
In Doghouse
Salem's mayor was in the dog
house Thursday because the dog
in his house lacked a license. ;
Mayor Alfred W. Loucks was
reminded by Ervin Ward, Marion
County dog control officer, that
his dog was overdue for the li
cense. A gift last Christmas, the
dog was required to have the per
mit by the time he was eight
months old so Loucks had to dig
up the penalty for lateness. He
corrected the neglect at the county
clerk's office.
Ward said he Is conducting a
survey of the. city to learn how
many dogs live in Salem and to
see if any other masters have for
gotten to pay.
