MAIL TRIBUNE Education Week Thoughts r "I consider an human soul In the quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties till the skill of the polisher fetches out the colours, makes the surface shine, and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot and vein that runs through the body of it." Joseph Addison, 1711 "The primary concern of American education today is not the development of the appreciation of the 'good life' in yoyfg gentlemen born to the purple. Our purpose is to cul tivate in the largest number of our future citizens an appre ciation both of the responsibilities and the benefits which comes to them because they are American and free." James B. Conant These two views of education one poetic, the other down-to-earth are essentially the same. A person without education cannot fulfill his God giv.en potentialities. He is not a complete man, lacking the resources to provide both himself and his com munity with the full force of his latent personality. No man is fully educated. And no man is entirely without education. Each lies somewhere between the abyss of ignorance and the pinnacle of full knowledge. -Hpw far he can climb from the abyss toward the pinnacle does not lie entirely with him. Much of the height of his climb is decided by his fellows. CDUCATION is not a bucket of nuggets, to be pluck ed one by one until the pail is empty. Education is process. It never stops. There is no end, as long as the human mind continues alive and responsive and capable of further absorption. The process is largely divided into three func tions': 1. The acquisition of knowledge, as such. 2. The assimilation of the past experience of man kind all of it; for understanding of the past is our only hope of looking into and affecting the future. 3. The development of skills necessary to be ef fective in these twin functions. In the first classification are the basic tools of ed ucation readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic, and the other subjects which go into an elementary education. In the second are the courses and studies which make the educated man, and give him the rounded view of the world he needs histoiy, philosophy, rel igion, the sciences, economics, and speaking more generally, the vast volume of accumulated knowledge, painfully worked out and transmitted to us by the miracle of written language. In the third are the skills of knowing where to look, how to improve one's comprehension and grasp, how to be selective in picking the best of the library tnat six thousand years of human history has je queathed us. THESE functions are related and indissoluble. No uiie ccui mallei mem uucuueu. . This is why, as civilization became increasingly complex, society devised schools, and why they have been given more and more jobs to do, until in 1956 they not only teach the three Rs, but many things which once were thought to be the function of the home or the church. We do not say that this extension of the role of the schools is necessarily good. But we do say that it has been inevitable, as parents find that the schools can be coerced into undertaking some of the tasks they find difficult or unpleasant. So we find the schools expected to teach not only mathematics but morals as well ; not only histoiy, but hygiene ; not only "civics," but also art and athletics. It is expected to provide recreation, instruction in good citizenship, and lessons on musical instruments. THE schools are facng a new day. Not only have we, as parents, insisted they in crease their scope almost to universality, but for many years we have also imposed almost insuperable bur dens on teachers and administrators lack of funds, for one thing; inadequate salaries, low budgets, in ferior schools. We have also added the burden of downgrading the teacher from a respected position to one of social inferiority. And we have crowded the schools almost to ca pacity in some instances, far past capacity in others with the tremendous numbers of children we are bringing into the world. THESE chickens are coming home to roost. We have two choices either drastically curtail the role of the schools, or make up our minds that they shall continue on their present course, and then sup port them as they must be supported. There is evidence to indicate a majority of Amer icans in general and Oregonians in particular have chosen the second course. Budgets have been increased; teachers' pay and respect have both risen. Fewer and fewer complaints are heard about the "frivolity" of some of the subjects taught in the schools. "Aid to education" has become accepted at the state level, and its limited employment at the federal level appears certain to be increased. THIS, we .think, is essentially all to the good. For save a few misgivings about the fact that the schools have undertaken some tasks which we think could (or should) be done by parents, it appears that a vital, developing school system is probably the most important single function of government. Our future is in our children. If that future is to be what we wish, we must give them the tools and the understanding to cope with the tumultuous years which lie ahead. E.A. TREE PROGRAM Toledo, O.

Governors Control of Washington (CQ) The Democrats' precarious two-vote edge in the new Senate places the nation's governors in a prime position to determine ultimate control of the Senate in 1957 and 1958. In a fewstates, like Wiscon sin and Texas, a special election is necessary to fill a Senate va cancy. In the other states, the governor can appoint a succes sor until the next general elec tion. During the average Congress in recent years, five Senators have died and two or three have resigned, thus giving the gov ernors a chance to fill vacancies. Tie Could Result With the Senate Democrats holding a narrow 49-47 margin in the 85th Congress, one strate gic Democratic vacancy could bring the count to 48-48, if a Republican were appointed to fill that vacancy. Then Vice President Nixon by breaking a tie on a vote to organize the Senate, could shift control to his Republican party. Couple this with the fact that 11 Democratic Senators come from states that wiU have Re Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name end address ot the writer, although under certain circumstances the use ot a pen name or initial to publication is permissible.

Veterans Day To the Editor: With another I Veterans Day' gone by, several very noteworthy changes in the attitude of both the general public and the veteran were evident. In 1917, and from '41 to '50 our youth by the million took up arms to defend our country against insidious enemies that would tear down our beautiful flag. Those who were called to the service during these wars lost several of the most import ant years of their life and on their return were faced with starting all over again. With the press of family ties and the ne cessity of becoming established in their community they had to give up all civic connections and pleasures. Now that they have had time to establish themselves and are ready to take their place in the community they become more cognizant of their duties to their community. The general public who were not called into service are also reminded in these perilous times of the serv ice these ysung men, and wom en, gave to our entire country. For several years there was general apathy toward 'Veter ans Day' among both veterans and the general public. In fact I personally have heard the re mark many times 'Why should we have a Veterans Day? 1 slaved here at home without sufficient stamps to purchase what I wanted. I dont owe them anything.' The Veteran does not feel that any one owes him anything. They were willing to give up their lives and their blood to preserve our country. However they do feel that we should pause once a year and remem ber these sacrifices and ponder over the fact that we might not be free today if it were not for these sacrifices. In Medford the large grocery stores led the way in closing for the day. Many other businesses followed suit. The stores in Ashland were closed. More Veterans turned out for the parade and other events than in the past. This would indicate a return to the patriotism of the war years and increasing love of our freedom. At the meeting of Post 15 of the American Legion on Nov. 13 it was voted unanimously to send a vote of thanks to those merchants who took time off from their business to ponder these things. Let us hope that more of our citizens, merchants and veterans will think of these things in the future. Let us take time out one day a year and demonstrate our patriotism and our appreciation of the sacrifices of the 20 million veterans who helped to keep this country free. M. E. Fisher Dist. 13, Vice Commander The American Legion Charles Holbrook Post 15, Commander The American Legion Hunting Plaint To the Editor: In the interests of possibily improving deer hunt ing in this State would you please print the following letter? I have mailed original to the Oregon State Game Commission. Gentelmen: Inclosed is my Deer Hunter's Check Out Card for your records. I feel it my duty as one great ly interested in Deer Hunting, to express in writing some of my observations. Frankly it is a terrible "come down" for me to send in this card marked DOE. I have just finished 28 years of deer hunt ing in the states of California, Utah and Oregon. During this season and last, I hunted ap proximately 35 days in many spots that should have been good, mostly in Eastern Oregon, and I didn't get one shot at a buck deer. Last vear I came home 1 with a lost lamb and this year I May Determine Party Senate in '5758 publican governors in 1957. Con versely, 20 Republican Senators come from states that will have Democratic governors. Congressional Quarterly found that never has control of either chamber of Congress been changed in mid-session, after it once was organized. In the case of Sen. Robert A. Taft's death in 1950, Senate control was re tained by the Republicans de spite the appointment of an Ohio Democrat, Thomas A. Burke, to fill "Mr. Republican's" seat. This gave the Democrats an edge, 48 to 47 with one Independent. The Independent was Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, who an nounced he would vote with the Republicans on procedural mat ters. This could have forced a 48-48 tie which Nixon could have" resolved in favor of the Republicans. Vacancies Likely The odds point to seven or eight Senate vacancies during the two-year life of the 85th Congress. Nothing says, how ever, which party will suffer. One vacancy already is in sight for 1957. Sen. Price Dan iel (D) will resign by Jan. 15 Letters submitted for publication must was forced to shoot a doe in order not to come home empty handed. Now if that isn't a swell way to end up 28 years of hunt ing. If the needless slaughter of does and fawns isn't stopped, please tell us hunters what we are going to do for bucks from now on? Ninety per cent of the hunting in Eastern Oregon is now done from cars full of kids, wo men and trigger happys, who blast away and empty their guns at anything that moves. No one will ever know how many are wounded, and many are just left in the woods with the possibility in mind of getting a better one later on. This season I made it a point to talk to many deer hunters, most of them with many years of experience. These men agreed 100 per cent that the "Hunter's Choice" or anything-with-hair-on-it idea, wasn't going to help our buck hunting now or ever. I would like to get the dope on the results of the past deer season as soon as it is available. It should prove very interesting. Yours truly, Bill Brewster Trail, Ore. I would like to hear the views and observations of other hunt ers through letters to the Editor. If I am wrong in my slant on things I'm sorry. If right, let's get together on this and make a lot of noise with something other than our guns. A lot of good sensible letters sent to the right people might do some good. Bill Brewster Trail, Ore. That Annexation Vole To the Editor: Regarding the Berrydale annexation result. It is a crying shame that the voters of the area did not vote favorably for annexation. It certainly was not the fault of the city planners or members of the city council, nor was it the fault of the county health officer. The policy of forcing annexa tion by withholding an essential health service, such as not auth orizing the Berrydale Sanitation district to connect to the city sewer outlet unless they annex, should have worked. I understand that the policy works in California. At the coun cil meeting on Nov. 7, the mayor indicated that some tougher California annexation policies should be instigated with a view of applying them to areas to be annexed to the city of Medford. I think the mayor has a good idea, but I think the problem could be handled locally. If the city were to cut off the water supply to the two water dis tricts involved, and the city merchants would cooperate by refusing to accept the money of the residents, about 2,000 of them, for any purchases what soever, I am almost sure the re sults would be accomplished. Another policy which has worked would be to call annexa tion elections as often as possible. The opposition may get weary and give in instead of having to sign the poll books every few months. The cost of the elections to the city would be small com pared with the eventual city tax which could be realized. The area could then be prop erly controlled by the city auth orities instead of by the county. Seems like some people must be forced for their own good into proper living and zoning and police protection or control, and taxation and schooling and other things which are good for them. I think it only fair to commend the Medford paper for letting the area voters think for them selves after publishing all the true facts of the issue prior to the election. William Doernbach 143 Mace rd. Medford, Ore. to become governor of Texas. The outcome of a special elec tion to fill his seat may have a strong bearing on which party controls the Senate. If Texas holds a special elec tion before January to fill Dan iel's seat and a Republican is elected a distinct possibility the GOP would control the Sen ate by virtue of Nixon's tie breaking vote. Two other Senators - elect, Jacob K. Javits, New York Re publican, and Gov. Frank J. Lausche, Ohio Democrat, say they will not be present for the organization of the Senate early m January. Thus, they cancel each other out as far as the balance of power is concerned. But no matter how the Sen ate is organized in January, prospect of a see-saw battle for control remains in view of the close division between Demo crats and Republicans and the authority a governor of one party has to name the replace ment for a Senator of the op posite party. Split Stales Listed States that will have Repub lican Senators and Democratic governors in 1957 are Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mas sachusetts, Michigan, Minne sota, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Next year there will be Demo cratic Senators and Republican governors in Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, West Virginia and Wyoming. Rhode Island, with two Demo cratic Senators, may also have a Republican governor next year. The close gubernatorial battle between Gov. Dennis J. Roberts (D) and Christopher Del Sesto (R) will be decided when ab sentee ballots are counted Dec. 5. One of the Rhode Island Democrats is Theodore Francis Green, at 89 the oldest Senator in American history. Other elderly Senators from states with opposition party gov ernors are Democrats Matthew M. Neely of West Virginia, 82; James E. Murray of Montana, 80; and Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming, 72; and Republicans Edward Martin of Pennsylvania, 77, and H. Alexander Smith of New Jersey, 76. (Copyright, 1956, Congressional Quarterly) In The Day's State of the world note: The United Nations is racing against time to get its police force into the Suez canal zone before Russia acts on its threat to send "volunteers" to the Mid dle East. If Nasser gives the go-ahead, the first contingent of the UN police force was expected to fly to Cairo Tuesday. Some 150 Danish, Norwegian and Colomb ian troops are waiting at a stag ing area in Naples (Italy.) rrHE big issue is getting the" -1- British and the French out. If they refuse to get out, Russia is threatening to send in un limited "volunteers" to back the Arab states in a finish fight to THROW THEM OUT. That would mean all-out war in the Middle East. It could mean the beginning of World War 3. THE big question: What shall we do? WE'D better stand pat that if the British and the French don't get out they'll have to go it alone. They started this ruck us. They started it against our advice. It has been a flop. It is apparent that they can't finish it without our help. We have no business getting into war to back up a foolish en terprise that we advised against strongly in the first place. QJUEZ canal pilots who watched Egyptian troops block the waterway say it may take six months to put it back in opera tion. They say dozens of vessles were dynamited along the entire 101-mile canal. They add that 15 ships are stranded between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea ends of the waterway, but none of them are American. The British and the French started shooting, they allege, in order to keep the canal open. Suez, they asserted, is their life line. They must .keep it open, they said, or Britain and France will die. But as a result of their quickness on the trigger the canal has already been put out of business for six months. That doesn't make much sense. 1TARK Hatfield who is a '- young man of such out standing ability that he was able to survive the Democratic tidal wave that overwhelmed the Republican party in Oregon last week tells the Young Repub lican Federation of Oregon at its annual banquet in Bend that the Republican party "must trans late President Eisenhower's mod ern Republicanism into a con structive and progressive pro garm." He added: 'The Republican party in Ore gon, which suffered a setback last week, must rebuild with idealism, not upon organization Hungarian Reconquest Brings New Refugees Towa rd West By MARTIN PACKMAN Washington Hungary's "black day of sorrow" has brought a new flood of refu gees to the West. On the day the short-lived democratic gov ernment of Hungary was over thrown by Russian tanks and troops, 10,000 fugitives from So viet vengeance were" reported to have crossed the border into Austria. The Communist rede fection campaign, vigorously prosecuted for more than a year and a half, was thrown into re verse so far as Hungary was concerned. On the other hand, the new "national Communist" govern-, ment of Poland may be able to offer Polish defectors .in the West more attractive "come home" invitations than in the past. It may be anticipated in any event that, when relations of the Soviet Union with its satellites have been redefined, Communist efforts to bring about the return of fugitives from Red rule will be resumed on a broad scale. Campaign Not New Soviefj attempts to persuade refugees abroad to come home began only a few years after the Red Revolution and the initial outpouring of fugitives from the new Bolshevik order . A back-to-the-homeland campaign caused the return of nearly 200, 000 emigres during the first period of peaceful coexistence, the era of the New Economic Policy in the 1920s. Forcible farm collectivization and- politi cal purges in the 1930s, and war in the 1940s, made it necessary to suspend such efforts, but they were resumed a few years after hostilities ceased. Following Stalin's death and the general softening of Krem lin manners, attempts to intimi date or blackmail defectors into going home because less com mon than persuasive and re assuring appeals. Amnesty pro clamations by the satellite states marked the start in 1954 of an intensified redefection campaign, which was stepped up again in the afterglow of the Geneva summit conference in mid-1955. Testimonials from re turnees about conditions of life in the home country, Tetters from relatives, promises of good jobs, official assurances that all News y j. nkins or personalities alone, but upon what the individual citizen ex pects of his government." I HOPE he added the dispatch es nuotine his Bend speech arp rather scanty that the Rep ublican party in Oregon must rebuild its future "upon wnn the individual citizen expects from his government AND IS WILLING TO PAY FOR IN THE WAY OF TAXES." This new Republican party that he envisions mustn't pro mise the people something for nothing. There is no such thing as something for nothing. What ever is worth having and enjoy ing is worth paying for. I'D LIKE to add a little to Mr. Hatfield's excellent advice to Oregon's Young Republicans: Let's not look on what has happened as necessarily a calm ity. The GOP has been ifl the driver's seat a long time in Ore gon. All in all, it has done pretty well. But Maybe the Democrats can do better. Or Maybe they will do so much worse as to provide a damonstra tion that the GOP way is better. Let's keep open minds and throw no monkey wrenches.
