How Are The Schools Doing?
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

ents and Teachers maintains;" the release states.

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.

V read, and read well and do whatever they can to
stimulate his curiosity, they've done the most im

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.' It says:
v There are 162,922,000 Americans who 'are not members
of the Communist party. - " '
Some 37,011,460 couples win stay more or less happily -;
married during the year.

gers 18,902,134, 841 miles in the U.S. and possessions; rail
roadsr safely carried passengers 31,674,931,200 miles.
' Some 162,717,890 persons will not die of cancer in 1955.

RECOLLECTION .
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

that, by a continued policy of

TfHILE we're talking . about
the nation's future; it will be
interesting to note a statement
by Senator BUI Knowlahd of
California; who is: worried about
appeasement. ' ,
Speaking to the chamber' of
commerce of Alexandria, va
(which is just across the Potomac
river from Washington), he said:
"Each appeasement '(of the
Chinese Communists in the For
mosa area) , wUl fnly ; lead to
greater Vdemands . and greater
pressures.
T ETS discuss appeasement for
? a moment.
' - The' classic example of it is
the apocryphal story of the Rus
sian who . was fleeing with his
family in a droschky through
the snowy forest. He was pur
sued by; a pack of wolves. Seek,
ing .to appease the ravening
beasts, he. threw a child to them.
They paused' long enough to de
vour the child. That went on
until aU the children had been
thrown , to the wolves. ..
,:r Instead of appeasing- . the.
beasts, the children thrown to
them merely r whetted their ap
petites. Nourished and strength
ened by the bodies of the chil
dren, they came on and eventual
ly devoured not only the Rus
sian and his wife but. the horses
that pulled the ;. droschky. s i

On Jan. 9, Costa Rica told the

by an invasion of rebels who had
been given haven in Nicaragua.
It. asked the OAS to intervene,
and the Washington councU met.
" "When the revolt broke out on
JanMl, the OAS acted, swiftly.
It sent a mission by air to Costa
Rica. THe mission reported -that
a substantial . part . of the rebel's
war material came from Nicara
gua. The OAS councU asked Ni
caragua ; top revent the - move
ment of more war material. The
United States, in behalf of .the
OAS, "sold" four fighter planes
to Costa Rica for.$l apiece. They
went into action, against the
