The White House
in 1940?
LIBERTY magazine this week
came forth with its annual pol
itical poll of cross section opinion
from newspaper editors of the coun
try, prognosticating Franklin D.
Roosevelt as the one man in Amer
ica most likely to succeed himself
as president in 1940. High ranking
among Democratic possibilities is
Governor Earle of Pennsylvania.
Senator Vandenburg of Michigan is
the only ' Republican given serious
consideration, while John L. Lewis
is ranked seventh in the list of pos
sibilities. That the poll gave an honest ex
pression of the editors, Liberty's au
thor believed, is evidenced by the
fact that a preponderant number of
those responding edit Republican
newspapers, many of which opposed
Roosevelt in previous campaigns.
Certain it is, at this time Roosevelt
looks to be able to succeed himself.
But whether the third term prece
dent and the apparent split with
Lewis will outweigh the urge for
another term remains to be seen.
Then, also, eyes of the politically
wise are being kept on the move
ments of Jams Aloysius Farley.
Farley himself was not given an
exceptionally good chance to occupy
the White House following the next
election, by Liberty- But Farley
is credited with being closer to
Roosevelt than any other man. His
part in placing Roosevelt in the
presidency, and in taking knocks for
the president are common know
ledge- Rumor has it that Farley
may retire- If he retires from the
head of the Democratic machine
and from Rbosevelt, third term pos
sibilities for Roosevelt flicker the
more.
If Lewis had hopes of solidifying
labor into a third party through C.
I. 0-, and thus elevating himself to
the presidency, he is becoming fast
disillusioned. But a drift of labor
from Roosevelt is inevitable unless
much placating is done at the forth
coming extra session of congress,
set by the president to convene
November 15.
Anyway, contemplation of 1940 pos
sibilities now is interesting. Espe
cially in light of the president's re
cent western trip, and right on his
heels that of Mr. Farley who is
scheduled to dedicate the new post
office and federal building at Salem
next Saturday.

In her early years she left Califor

the state of Nevada, In 1883 the fam
ily moved to Oregon, where the de
ceased had since resided with the

New Grades System
In Use in County
By LUCY E. RODGERS,
County School Supt
A new type of pupil report card
was introduced in the elementary
schools of Morrow county last year
in order to eliminate as far as possi
ble the idea on the part of the pupils
of working for competitve report
card grades, and also in order to
give to the parent and to the teacher
as well a better picture of the child's
academic progress and personality
development.
The report card is based on the
educational philosophy that each
child should be encouraged to do
the very best work he is capable of
doing and to be concerned about his
own individual progress. His school
marks take into consideration his
ability to do school work. If he is
doing all that can reasonably be ex
pected of him, his work is marked
"S" for "satisfactory." Thus he is
given a mark of "saisfactory" or
"unstaisfactory" according to his
attitude and his aptitude. If the pu
pil shows exceptional improvement
he is given a mark of 'E" or "ex
cellent." The report card when carefully
marked by the teacher gives a pretty
clear analysis of the child. And the
personality progress as shown by
the card is an opportunity for real
character development
This year a new type of report
card is being used in the high schools
of the county. It is similar to the
elementary report card in that the
objectives for each high school sub
ject in which the student is enrolled
are marked. If the grade isn't what
the student or parent thinks it
should be the checks or marks after
the objectives explain why.
Checking the objectives for each
subject when the student shows him
self to be particularly outstanding
in them, gives the student and the
parent sime very valuable informa
tion concerning the child's develop
ment. If the student is particularly
weak or lacking in any of the ob
jectives, the lU-rk calls attention
to this fact.
Parents are urged to cooperate
with the school in every way. If
there are questions about the de
velopment of children the teachers
are always glad to discuss these with
the parents.
