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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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,

New Jersey, 76.

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.

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

from relatives, promises of good
jobs, official assurances that all

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.
