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.

INTERESTING to us Is the
ctnrv from fh Orepon State
Board of Health which points up
the health hazards of burnlg
riripH leaves. 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.
OUR OLD compatriot, Jack
Powell, wrote In the Stayton

tic amount of change that goes
on in this country:
"And nothing brings it home
more," he said, "than realizing
the difference in the world we
knew as a kid and the world

their mid-twenties, were born
into.
"Wonder what they'd think if
we admitted we could recall a

phane, Scotch tape, Kleenex or
nylon?
"Do you thing they'd believe
