Unfolding the Seed of Immortality The true purpose of education U to cherUh and unfold the seed of Immortality already sown within us; to develop, to their fulWt extent, the capacities of every kind with which the God who made us has endowed us." These words are those of Mrs. Anna Jameson. Irish writer of the early lSOCs. They state a noble objective upon which parents and teachers might reflect on this occasion of Amer ican Education week. What a great responsibility Is placed in the hands of teach ers and parents! (Parents certainly are teachers, too). Theirs Is not alone the work of going through the mech anics of imparting knowledge, but It Is also for them to ap preciate the capacities of the child, to recognize his tension Ities. understand his abilities, and to help channel and guide him to the full development of that "immortal seed." The dedicated teacher realizes this as a commitment and is keenly conscious of the Importance of his work. On the other hand, an uncomprehending parent or teacher can dull and stifle a child, providing no soli of understanding In which this seed of the soul may nurture and grow. Many adults of today can reach back into their own child hood homes and school experiences to recall examples of each good and poor. In the same vein, they can evaluate, to at least some degree, how sensitive they are to the needs of their own children and pupils. Consequently, they may determine how well they are truly educating these youngsters to take a place In society with full appreciation for the world in which they live and for their relationships with their fellow men. It's a high compliment to be really worthy of the title of "teacher." and it'a a great challenge. The true teacher finds reward In the development of the student In his charge in proportion to the degree that the pupil approaches his maxi mum of capabilities. And the teacher or parent who has done a good Job finds a meaningful compensation In his own soul for his part In this Individual's development Just as education Is ever more complex In this accelerat ing world, so the responsibility of the teacher is becoming greater. At the Governor Public Conversation on Education in Pendleton recently, the necessity for more inservice train ing for teachers was stressed In order to keep pace with the "explosion of learning." This continuous reeducation becomes another responsibility for teachers and consequently of the school districts and the public. Mrs. Jameson's words of a century and a half ago are ideal istic, to be sure, but this idealism needs to remain before us. Such idealism has helped make the American education sys tem the greatet in the world, and our continued emphasis, shown by the vast sums spent on education, demonstrates how important we believe It to be. A share of this vast system is focused on each child with the recognition that he is important, that the gifts with which God has endowed him are worthy of development That child, regardless of his color, his degree of intelli gence, or his economic status, represents our future. What nobler purpose could there be than to assist him, through education, to attain his fullest potential mentally, morally, spiritually and physically? This Is the significance of American Education week. Good Luck to a Winner! A living example of development through education is Mark Brown, who has won three speech contests to be ele gible to enter the state finals of the Oregon Soil Conservation speech contest at Baker this week-end. He presented his seven-minute talk at the Grain Growers meeting Monday night, and those who heard him easily rec ognized why he has won this right to compete with the state's best young speakers. , It is a great experience to watch such young people as Mark blossom and develop, and it Is a fine compliment to his parents and teachers. The people of Morrow county extend their best wishes to him In the finals. Farm and City Work Together Often a person becomes so zealous in his own vocation that he gives little thought to the problems, aspirations and achievements of those In other fields. It is often said, for instance, that the businessman does not appreciate the problems facing the farmer, and converse ly, that the farmer has little conception of the tribulations of' the businessman. This provides some of the motivation for National Farm City Week, which this year is to be November 19-25. However, to all intents and purposes, Farm-City week in Morrow coun ty is this week because the annual farm-city banquet will be held Saturday night and annual meetings of farm signifi cancewheat growers, Morrow County Grain Growers, and Morrow County Livestock Growers are just over or are to this week Fortunately, in a county such as ours the "city" and the farm areas blend together into one rural way of life. Quite a number of our families have both farm and business in terests. This closer relationship should help considerably In achieving understanding of the importance of the other. It is certainly well established that each needs the other and could not do without him. In this spirit of understand ing, the banquet Saturday night will be marked by the congeniality of farmer and merchant Since this is our farm-city week in Morrow county, Its a good chance to shake the hand of your neighbor rancher or storekeeper and extend a bit of appreciation.

No doubt what is said Is true, and some day there may even be laws against burn ing the fallen autumn leaves because of air pollution. But burning leaves has, to us, always been associated with the nostalgia of autumn, Just as are the brilliant hues in the for ests, the pumpkins on decaying vines, and crisp, Juicy apples dropping from the trees with the coming of a frost Some of our children's child ren may never know the aroma of burning leaves; they may never experience the Joy of going into the woods to cut the family Christmas tree; they may never dive Into an ol" swimmin' hole on some creek. Too dan gerous, or the water may be pol luted. There'll be some "en croachment of advancing civili zation to take the Joy out of it.
