By far the largest portion of-state and local tax money goes for the upkeep and operation of schools. -Practically, everyone has a vested interest in the schools, for most of us have children, and we all pay for the schools, whether we're parents or not. ' ; How are the schools doing? Are we getting our money's worth? Are the requests for increased school funds Justified? ; "THERE are widely varying answers to these ques A tions. f ; On the desk at the moment are two-articles which show the disparity in opinions. One is an article in a recent issue of The Nation's Business, by Felix Mor ley, which questions the methods, of instruction in use today. Morley says: ; i Vi A recent survey in Los Angeles . . . revealed that 18 per cent of 11,000 high school juniors didn't know how many , months there are in a year. And nine per cent of these jun- . , ; iors couldn't say how many three cent stamps the post of- i fice wUl sell far three silver quarters. It is said that with J- education now compulsory for all, such surveys include in-. '. stitutions for the mentally retarded. But if these are called ".high schools," the analysis is fair.' In any case,, ignorance of fundamentals is seentfngly nationwide. . i . ' : " e ':;v'--;,f. . THE gist of Morley's article is contained in his quo tation of a book,."The Diminished Mind," by Mor timer Smith, who asserts, that the primary purpose of education . "is the" improvement of persons and only secondary the improvement of society." ; ; With this definition, Morley says, all. educators up to relatively recent times would have agreed. Pro duce good- men arid society , will be the better for them, but to produce a superior society with only mediocre citizens is impossible, he declares. Smith, Morely adds by an abundance of careful documen tation, also makes plain that ..the subordination of individuality to group compulsion, at the intellectual level of the least intelligent is now widely accepted "methodology." ' n tV'frf- v- - l: N THE other side of the fence, however we have Va "release" from a public relations firm employed by the National Congress "Public school pupils in 'the three Rs - and learn than the school children of pamphlet published by the. ents and Teachers maintains;" the release states. .-. .--. : e . : '' . I AYMENj unfortunately, are unable to get a first--1 hand answer to the (questions raised about schools unless they have th'e time schools personally, ana spena long penoas cneciang on teaching methods; policies and theories. And even then, the conclusions reached might be invalid. we seem 10 oe in a posiuon oi iiavmg to uut the teachers and administrators we have hired.;' Even PrTA membership is no guarantee that we can be sure that the schools are doing a good or poor job. Most of us are simply not qualified, to be judges of the schools, and how they're doing. DtJT if the' schools succeed in teaching a child to V read, and read well and do whatever they can to stimulate his curiosity, they've done the most im portant part of the job. ; ; Without reading he lacks the one most important tool a human being can possesSi:;Without curiosity,-he lacks the motivation to become1 educated; to become a thinking person, to become an asset to a community which, for the most, depends, upon educated, think ing persons. E.A. . ; . j-; ' ; -tmSr The Sun Shines Someti The La Grande Observer (possibly influenced by the Klamath Falls Herald and News' recent: "good news only on Page one" experiment) recently picked up an item which stretches a point to give the good news. . t ' , THE item, from the Kiplinger Magazine Changing Times", assembled some statistics to show the "sunny side of life" in the United States.'

IN SINGAPORE , Singapore, Malaya Just un der 14 years ago, this reporter first came to Singapore on a special job for Gen. Chennault . and his Flying ".Tigers, who 'i were training in - those days f in Burma. A . It ; was '; al ready . night, and the rain .was v coming - d o w n i n heavy, ; impen etrable sheets, -but the young foMph Alsepx-British pUot of the very old Wellington bom ber, was. as contemptuous of the weather as he was of the enemy. (He blew himself up .with his own bombs, a few .weeks later, attacking the attackers . of the Prince of Wales). So we landed somehow', taxied to a halt be fore .'a lighted hangar, ' and were pleasantly greeted by a heavily mustachioed R. A.F. . group cap tain. ; " . ; " ,' ,v :. ' Getting" out m the rain was a hurried . business, but no ciie could . have avoided a glance at the object in the hangar entrance. It was a biplane with no cowling to' streamline: its. jvast radical engine and a total armament of two small machine guns. , The group captain was ; asked just what was this thing that seemed to have come out of a boys' aviation .annual for 1925.. -: "Haarrumph," said the group captain, blowing the raindrops out of; his . mustachios, "Haar? rumph! Why that's one of our fighter-squadrons. - Jony ; man- euverable little aircraft too, old boy." . ' This , rainsoaked recoUection recurs at the moment because it points a contrast, v This year hi a situation of much more remote peril, the British authorities ; in Singapore and : Malaya are im measurably less complacent than they - were in; the" time just be fore "Pearl Harbor. In fact if anyone succeeds in waking up the ' British and American gov ernments, the able soldiers and civilians at the head of affairs here will have "a long share of the credit. v . . ' w . .The peril .in Malaya' is still distant in time, but? "its, outlines are already obvious. " It results from the , Asian Munich, which was signed at Geneva. The tri umph of the Viet Minh in Indo china is .having two , kinds of effects . here.; , --; ;' : .' .a : ON the one hand, there, are the direct effects. Last war. . the brilliant Gen.

He did not expect, mass surrend er, but; he did expect an epi demic of - local surrenders that would restore security to big areas of Malava that hav nnt known full security; for many years.
