Americans Must Double School
Spending, Committee Report Says
Washington U.R) A presi
dential committee said today
that if Americans want decent
schools for their children they
must be prepared to double their
present spending on education.
The recommendation that to
tal US. school spending be
boosted to S20,000,000,000 a
year "within the next decade"
was the highlight of a 50,000
word report submitted to Presi
dent Eisenhower at a White
House ceremony. The report
was prepared by a 34- member
committee for the White House
Conference on Education. Mr.
Spring Conference
Of Kiwanians Here
Medford Xiwanis club will be
host, to the spring conference
of Division 15 of the Pacific
Northwest district of Kiwanis
International on Sunday.
The meeting will open at 9
a.m. at the Jackson hotel. About
50 Kiwanians from out of town
will attenc There are 17 clubs
in the division and each is ex
pected to have representatives
here.
E. Ronald Rice, Medford, divi
sion lieutenant governor, will
preside. A. Freeman Sersanous,
Portland, district governor, will
attend.
A luncheon for Kiwanians and
. their wives is scheduled for
12:30 p.m Sunday.
At the Wednesday noon lunch
eon session of the Medford club,
Charles Seavey, Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company
public relations representative,
spoke on power from cosmic
space and demonstrated the
solar battery.
Rice and Medford High Track
Coach Bob Newland gave infor
mation on the Rogue Valley re
lays here Saturday. The Kiwanis
club sponsors the meet and Ser
sanous will present the Kiwanis
donated trophy to the winning
school.
Eisenhower appointed the com
mittee of prominent citizens last
year to organize "the most thor
ough study" ever made of the
nation's school system.
Other Recommendations
The committee also recom
mended: "Emergency" federal aid to
states to build about 200,000
new classrooms as speedily as
possible.
"Substantial increases" in
teachers' salaries, with a view
toward eventually doubling
present pay scales.
Providing "basic health and
safety services" to students in
parochial and other private
schools at "public expense."
Calling a "White House Con
ference on Higher Education"
to study the problems of col
leges and universities.
Need for Spending
The committee called for "a
new look at the entire question
of how much money this society
should spend on education."
"In the richest nation in all
history, there is no valid reason
for the grimy, dilapidated and
overcrowded school buildings
which too many children now
occupy," it said. "Most Ameri
cans would not permit their chil
dren to live in a house which is
as bad as the school buildings
which many pupils are forced
to attend."
Declaring that "the dollars
spent on education in this nation
should be approximately dou
bled" in the next decade, the
committee said:
"The schools have become
the chief instrument for keep
ing this nation the fabled land
cf opportunity it started out to
be. ... It is primarily schools

The "song" of the tiny cricket

which allow no man's failure to
prevent the success of his son."
The committee estimates that
S10,000,000,000 a year is now
being spent on public and pri
vate elementary and secondary
schools.

Communities Should
Determine Problems,
Attempt Solutions
Each community should de
termine what its problems are
and endeavor to solve them,
first utilizing its own commun
ity resources, Dr. Henry C. Schu
macher. San Francisco, said at
the third annual meeting of
Southern Oregon Child Guidance
Clinic association last night.
The meeting followed a din

Hedrich Junior High school with

Dr. Schumacher, medical di
rector of the mental health serv
ice for the regional office of the
United States Public Health
service, formerly directed a child
guidance clinic and is considered
an authority on social problems,
particularly regarding mental
health. He based his talk partly
on questions submitted in writ
ten form from the audience
which numbered about 200 per
sons from all sections of south
ern Oregon.
He praised the Southern Ore
gon Child Guidance Clinic and
association, and said few com
munities of comparable size in
the nation could boast of such
an organization and clinic. He
reviewed the rise of social
agencies and organizations, par
ticularly in the western states,

science of the community."
Dr. Schumacher declared that
the instability of family .-life js
not necessarily a reflectionon
parents, but a reflection on the
whole pattern of life in this
country. "The biggest mistake
we make is to just blame the
parents," he said, "but what we
overlook is that the parents ere
themselves the products of so
ciety as a whole."
Bring Pressure
Dr. Schumacher continued by
saying that in this country we
try to make everyone measure
up to a norm, and then bring
pressure to bear on those who
do not. He cited as examples the
general deploring of all aggres
siveness as "bad" and the follow
ing of the "head of the class"
pattern as far as education is
concerned.
"What constitutes normal be
haviour," he asked. Youth, and
parents, become confused, con
cerned and resentful and youth
"strikes back" at society by acts
of violence, destruction and gen
eral delinquency, the speaker
said.
Dr. Schumacher said he be
lieved elementary schools serve
the needs of all youth better
than do junior and high schools,
and declared there is too much
emphasis on academic accom
plishments and training for col
lege entrance.
Community Problem
Speaking of the problem of
the delinquent or mentally ill,
Dr. Schumacher said he believed
every effort should be made to
care for them in the community
instead of "putting them out of
sight" in institutions far from
home. "If they are kept in the
community, the community
doesn't lose sight of their prob
lems.," he added.
He discussed "problem" fam
ilies which do not welcome help,
corporal punishment, the ratio
of delinquency between the
sexes, accident proneness and its
causes and other questions sub
mitted. Dr. A. Erin Merkel, head of
the Jackson County Public
Health department and director
of the clinic, introduced Dr.
Schumacher.
Directors Elected
Seven new directors were
elected for three-year terms.
They are Dr. B. Brandt Bartels,
William E. Duhaime and C. El
wood Hedberg, all Medford; W.
T. Dawkins and Mrs. Chester
Fitch, Ashland; Mrs." Lewis
Dusnberry, Trail, and Mrs.
Melvin Hall, Jacksonville. The
Rev. Richard Jones, Medford,
was elected for a one-year term
to replace the Rev. Ross Knotts,
Ashland, who resigned.
Mrs. Dunbar Carpenter, form
er president, presented a pro
gress report, saying she felt the
organization was now perfected
and that more use is being made
each year of the services pro
vided by the association and the
guidance clinic.
Among those attending were
Miss Frances Williams, psychia
trict nurse consultant, and Ray
mond W. Craig, psychiatric
social work consultant, who ac
companied Dr. Schumacher from
San Francisco; Miss Lucy Knox,
mental health nurse consultant
with the Oregon Board of
Health; Dr. Seth Karren, Klam
ath county health officer and
Ben Kerns, president of' the
Klamath County Child Guidance
council who headed a large dele
gation from Klamath. -
Entertainment was provided
by a chorus from Crater High
school and tables wer decorated
by Mrs. C. P. Smets and Mrs.
M. H. Fields of the Medford Ex
tension unit. The dinner was pre
pared under the direction of Mrs.
Virginia Wait, school dietitian,
and served by members of the
Girls' league. Mrs. A. N. Potter
Jr., was chairman of dinner ar
rangements. The Rev. Knotts opened and
closed the meeting with prayer.
Idaho Reactor
Incident Disclosed
Lemont, 111. CU.R) An exper
imental atomic reactor at the
National Testing station in Idaho
got out of hand last November
and released radio activity into
the building, it was revealed to
day. The Argonne National labora
tory here, a branch of the
Atomic Energy commission, said
it was making the disclosure
because of several "distorted
stories" about the incident.
There was no "significant ra
diation exposure," but the re
actor's core was damaged, the
laboratory said.
The laboratory said that dur
ing a planned power surge in a
Nov: 29 experiment a verbal in
struction to shut the machine
off "instantly" was misunder
stood. "As a result, enough heat was
produced to damage the core,"
the statement said.
The testing station is located
70 miles north of Idaho Falls.

Klamath Basin
Water Seen Ample
Klamath Falls U.R) Abun
dant water supplies for the
Klamath lake basin irrigation
season were forecast last night.
Wet soils and heavy snow
packs on watersheds promise to
boost summer stream low from
one-half to four-fifths above
normal on major streams, W. T.
Frost, Oregon snow survey su-:
pervisor for the Soil Conserva
tion service, said.
Farm, forestry and irrigation !
representatives said soils are the j
wettest they have been here at ,
this time of year. Main concern
now is that heavy spring rains
falling on already full soil will
pose flood hazards. Moderate
weather with orderly stream
flow should assure better than
usual late summer flow on the
smaller streams, Frost said.
The earthworm plays a most
important part in keeping th
soil continually fertile.
Every foot of exploratory hole
drilled last year cost oil men an
average of $24.30.
