On The Side
'Great Decisions'
Started in Oregon
First Time in '55
Portland "Great Decisions"
now a nationwide program, got
its start in Oregon.
It began with the idea of the
Foreign Policy association that
the nation needed a way of
getting information on interna
tional affairs to the public, so
citizens could form their own
opinions.
Oregon was selected as the
pilot state for the experimental
"Great Decisions" project in
1955. In cooperation with the
World Affairs council of Oregon
and volunteer committees, the
FPA set up the first community
wide '"Great Decisions" pro
grams in Portland, Corvallis,
Eugene, Springfield and Med
ford. More than 1,500 Orcgonians
in 141 discussion groups started
out the program in 1955. By 1956
it had expanded to more than
2.000 citizens in 175 groups.
More than 70 per cent of those
in groups had never before par
ticipated in discussion of foreign
policy.
This year 20 counties in Ore
gon have organized "Great Deci
sions . . . 1957" committees and
councils. Statewide, the program
is being sponsored by the Oregon
State college extension service
in cooperation with the general
extension division of the state
system of higher education, the I persuasive eloquence used to in

The training program in

The Family Council
Editor's- note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
ttiree clergymen, a newspaper editor, a woman's editor and two writers. Each
article Is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does nol Rive
advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible
agencies and counselors.
Mr. D. D. Our boy is a prob
lem. I want to send him to mili
tary school.
Mn. D. D. Those places are
too tough on young boys.
Mr. D. D. We have a family
of four boys and one daughter.
We have always been a pretty
happy bunch and the kids have
been normal, fairly well-behaved
youngsters.
Recently the middle boy, who
is 14, has started acting up and
has given us quite a problem.
He was always the quietest of
the boys, but now he wants
to fight all the time and never
talks without shouting. When
he gets into a battle with his
older brothers, he always gets
the worst end of it, but that
doesn't seem to stop him. He is
constantly after a new fight. He
tortures his kid sister with the
meanest kind of teasing.
I feel he is a bad influence
on all of the kids. He provokes
the older ones to taking a tough
attitude toward him and he is
a bad example for the younger
ones. I want to get him out of
the house for a year or two and
lend him to a military academy
where he can learn some disci
pline, but my wife objects.
Mrs. D. D. It's true that
Andv is very hard to take at
this time, but I am against chil
dren going away from home
until they are at least 18.
My own brother went to a
military academy and I feel it
did him a lot of damage. He
has told me he was always home
sick and never could get along
with either the instructors or
his fellow students. He said he
has always felt himself a failure
because he could not live up to
the ideals of the school. It seems
to me these places are too tough
on young boys.
I feel that Andy js just going
through a stage and it will blow
over soon. He is extremely well
behaved, in fact rather timid,
outside of the house. I have
no fear of his getting into any
serious trouble. I've told the
younger kids not to put up with
any of Andy's nonsense, but to
let their father know when he
bothers them. I feel that it is a
father's responsibility to disci
pline his own boys.
m m m
Th Council: A military acad
emy is not necessarily "too
tough" on boys and often serves
as a good background. It is
doubtful, however, whether it
would be the best thing for
Andy at this time.
Andy knows he is in bad with
the whole family right now and
sending him away from home
would be considered by him a
harsh punishment. It would be
different if his elder brothers
had gone or were going to such
a school, but singling him out
as the only child to be sent away
could only be interpreted in one
way "they don't want me."
This is particularly serious in
view of the fact that Andy ap
pears to be engaged in a struggle
for recognition in his family. As
the middle child he may feel
smothered between the older,
stronger ones and the younger.
more protected ones.
A more constructive step in
Andy's case would be to try to
find out what the boy enjoys
most and can do best. Encour
age him in this so that he excels
outside the home and wins re
spect within it. The cooperation !
oi nis elder brothers should be
sought. They can train him in
sports. If he wants to fight, have
them train him to do it well
to box or wrestle with style as
a sport. Such constructive steps
will serve a far better purpose
than waiting for this stage to
"blow over" or simple discipline.

The report of the Siskiyou
county grand jury for 1956 filed
last week with Superior Court
Judge James M. Allen, submit
ted the following concerning the
Hornbrook grammar school:
"The school building needs con
siderable repair. However, we
understand that there is to be
an addition to the school in the
near future and that the old
building is to be completely
renovated at that time. New
wiring and lighting throughout
the entire building is badly need
ed. Also the playground needs
work done on it and new play
ground equipment added." A
bond issue of some 5140,000 was
approved last June by vote by
Hornbrook residents, which will
take care of the building im
provements recommended by
the grand jury. Their report then
continues, concerning the water
situation at the school. "The well
water used at the school, and
the only water available for the
children is sulphur water and
almost impossible to drink. We
would strongly recommend that
a new well be drilled and good
water made available." This is
a problem that has vexed sev
eral generations of Hornbrook
children, and been of concern
to their parents. As the grand
jury pointed out, it is the "only
water available, and good water
should be made available." It
would be greatly appreciated by
local residents if it could be ex
plained just how this was to be
accomolished. In the past three
wells have been dug at the
school, and none have been satisfactory.
