What Is Education?
The other day we received a copy of a publi
cation put out by the state department of Educa
tion. It is called a "Guide" to education in Oregon
and is written primarily for the teacher and school
administrator, to help them give the children of
our state an education that will equip them for
the world they will be turned into when they
graduate.
Oddly enough, to those who don't understand
education as it is known today, there is not, in the
15 points, one mention of Readin,' Writin' and
'Hithmelie as such the things most of us con
sider the basis, or even the whole, of education.
The overall plan is much bigger than that.
Heppner has a school problem to face. These
points outlined below may, on the surface, have
little to do with our difficulties yet we wonder if
maybe a little better understanding of what our
educators are attempting to accomplish might not
aid us in solving our difficulties. The section is
headed "Guiding Philosophy."
Democracy as we know and practice it as a way
of life is good; in It, human welfare, human worth,
and human happiness are pre-eminent. It recog
nizes the ever-changing nature of society and
challenges men through individual achievement
to build a better life for all. Democracy is de
pendent for its existence upon individuals who
possess physical vigor, menial poise, social-mind-eilness,
and a scientifically critical and construc
tive intelligence. These qualities are not trans
mitted Irom one generation to another through
inheritance; rather, each generation learns anew
the tenet by which democracy survives and pro
gresses toward the ultimate ideal only as it is
able to profit by the experiences of preceding
'Iterations. Thus, the role of education in the
democratic slate becomes apparent.
Whether we will or will not, individuals in any
society undergo a continuous process of physical,
mental, and emotional change. Thesp changes
may be described as "growth-processes" which
may progress at random or may be subjected to
direction. Direction of these growth -processes is
education. Directionof these growth-processes to
Hie end tluii individuals may become personally
and socially efficient and may bo able to exer
cise control of self is Democratic Education. Since
growth is a continuous process enduring as long
as life itself, education also becomes a continuous
process beginning with birth and lasting through
out life.
... If we subscribe to the basic philosophy
stated above we must provide opportunity for
continuous growth and development through the
K-hool program whereby every person may
achieve the following ends:
1. Attain the highest type of patrotism
through a deep and abiding love for our country,
loyalty to its institutions and ideas, and a com
pelling desire to keep them inviolate.
2. Develop an understanding of the basic
principles of American democracy which include
the worth of the individual, justice and fair deal
ing. .3. Strive toward the ideals of American citi
zenship and developo a world outlook and a feel
ing of personal responsibility as a world citizen,
4. Develop an understanding that all citizens
of the United States should enjoy the same pri
vileges and assume the same responsibilities of
citizenship regardless of race, national origin, or
creed.
5. Develop an understanding of the concept
that free enterprise is the keystone to our econo
mic structure.
. Recognize his potentialities and evolve a
plan of development in keeping with his capa
cities, needs and interests.
7. Make full use of his mental power through
broad, deep clear thinking, and through the exer
cise of his creative abilities.
S. Develop maximum facility in the use of
language and in the understanding and interpre
tation of baric areas of knowledge.
9. Enjoy good health, proper posture, and
, physical fitness through developing and main
taining them at a high level.
10. Equip himself through general and spe
cial education for earning a satisfactory and a
happy living in a vocation for which he is natur
ally well fitted.
11. Develop an understanding of high moral
and spiritual ideals and apply them to daily
living.
12. Prepare himself for use of leisure time
through appreciation of beauty in literature,
music and art and through skill in recreational
activities.
13. Develop his personality for harmonious
living with himself and others through honest,
unselfish and un stinted service.
11. Prepare himself for the responsibilities
and privileges of family life and for contribution
to the welfare of the community.
15. Develop the ability and desire to evaluate
his own behavior in relation to the immediate
social group in which lie moves, and to the inter
groups of our nation and the world with a view
to bringing about individual and social adjustment.

42 YEARS AGO
(This clipping received by the
Gazette Times this week tells of
some of the happings of the com
munity about 42 years ago.
ll.K Alstott had his crew busy
at work harvesting and expected
to finish by the end of this week.
He cut 80 acres of hay. His blue
stem and forty-fold is expected to
make an acreage of something
over 12 bushels, having been
badly damaged by the hot winds.
We took supper with the Alstott
family and Mr. Alstott told us a
few things about his farm which
are worth publishing. Ht is just
completing the last stretch of
hog-tight fencing and will have
his entire ranch surrounded bv 8
miles of this kind of fencing
which cost him $112 a mile. Mr.
Alstott has over 250 head of hogs
and young pigs on the place and
says he expects to increase this
number to double the amount
He also has 140 head of sheep.
30 head of cattle and 4o head of
hoises on the place. With his
garden and orchard to supply the
table with fruit and vegetables
there is not much that lie is re
quired to buy to supply the lar
der. Mrs. Alstott finds time to
entertain her visitors as well as
look after her household duties
and made our short stay very
pleasant.
(The above article was in a
paper owned by Mrs. Susan Pad
berg. daughter of the Alstotts.
The ranch was in the Eightmile
district.'

This . Anyone who's ever owned a piece of prop

could happen-and if it did, what next? Do

self. You'd have to stake your commodore's
hat and plenty more to build up a producing
field. It's a tough and risky job even for
- Standard Oil Company of California. Only one
wildcat well out of every 44 ever develops into
a commercial oil field . . . and the cost of finding
out can run into millions of dollars. Standard
is able to do this because it is owned by more
than 115,000 shareholders, each of whom bears
part, of the cost. Both small and large com
panies are essential to the oil business, but
companies like Standard bring together the
money, manpower and skill required to find
and build up a big oil field. In developing one
field Standard invested years of time and mil
lions of dollars in drilling, production, con
struction, maintenance teams and the work
is still going on. Indeed, your dream-well could
lead to a yacht . . .
But first, here's part of the bill for bringing an
oil field into production. It's a good example of
how a big oil company works for you. Over the
years, Standard has invested in more than 200
such fields to bring you the oil you need. Ques
tions or comments about our Company are wel
