7 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedtW, Ore., Thursday, November 13, 1938 r Thete officers and other members of Southern Oregon Mushroom club have been busy gathering specimens for the exhibit which the club will have during the annual Chin-Up club hobby carnival Friday and Saturday, November 14-15, at Girls' Com munity club. Mrs. Clyde Minger is secretary treasurer of the club, Fred Lawrence (center) is show chairman and Marvin Traut man is club president. The large clumps of mushrooms are both of the honey variety, and the four tubular shaped specimens are commonly called "shaggy manes." Mr. Trautman holds a smooth lepiota naucina. Club members discourage the untutored from picking this variety, since they closely resemble one of the poisonous types. Fields and wooded sections of Jackson county abound in dozens of edible varieties which are both delicious - and nutritious. Mr. Lawrence, an authority on the subject, works with both Dr. Alexander Smith of the University of Michigan and Dr. Sluntz. University of Washington, noted mycolo gists in preparing material for publication.

I ":W' I1 Wtlf 'IM liMf Willi "Il!'ffw(ll1llvl'i ; v "fill I Is it really low salaries that drive teachers into other professions? Should the United States reorganize secondary education? Is the military gaining more control of education budgets than is healthy? Are there good ideas to be borrowed from the Soviet Union about free; public education? These Were some of the problems discussed at meetings in Eugene and Salem last week which were attended by a number of Medford educators and layman. One was the gov ernor's conference on secondary education, and the second was a meeting of the Oregon School Boards asspciation. Mrs. Moore Hamilton, member of the Oregon State Board of Education and a former school board member in Medford, attended the governor's conference and part of the association sessions, and came home with a head buzzing with information and ideas. Potpourri urged her to pass them along and since she is a trained reporter, Mrs. H. put them into news stories which we are happy to print. "I am convinced we can have satisfactory education without any radical change in the .basic, comprehensive high school, including a wide variety of vocational pro grams," Dr. James B. Conant, . former president of Harvard university, who is heading a national study of high schools, told audiences in Eugene and Salem during the Oregon School Boards association and the Governor's Conference on Secondary Education. The former U. S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany frowned upon any move to copy European systems in the United States, maintaining that to follow the European pattern would necessitate a complete change of the whole American philosophy. "Local control of our public schools is a permanent system," Dr. Conant declared, then cautioned that "Boards must know the difference between policy making and ad ministration." Specific recommendations for improving the secondary (or high) schools in the American manner were made by the speaker, who listed the elimination of the small high school as the number one problem. "Unless a high school has a graduating class of at least 100, that school is too small to offer a sufficiently diversi fied curriculum to meet the needs of all its pupils and the needs of our nation." Dr. Conant stated. "In this country," he noted, "about one third of the students are attending high schools that are too small. Just under 35 per cent in this state are attending high schools that are too small." Dr. Conant listed as "false" the criticism in America, pertaining to "frills" and "building costs." The criticism, he maintained, can be reasonably answered only by exam ination school by school but he told his audiences that he had seen only a few extravagant.buildings in his tour of the states. He urged taxpayers to realize that only a fraction of school cost is going toward the amortization of construc tion. In his recommendations, Dr. Conant asked that students be grouped according to ability, subject by subject, except in the 12th grade social stitdies. Where he advised a mingling of all groups. He urged the adoption of four years of Eng lish in the high school with a top load of 100 pupils for each English teacher and half the time devoted to English coriv position, or one theme per week. A full-time counsellor for every 250 students, four years of one foreign language for the top 15 per cent, ho matter how few enroll: four years of mathematics and three years of science for the same group with the required English and social studies, including 15 to 20 hours a week of home work, were advised in the visitor's program. Dr. Conant emphatically opposed the common practice of teaching two years of one foreign language and two years of another. He also disapproved of a four-year required physical education program but avoided setting the amount of PE to be taken. Dr. Willard B. Spalding, chairman, division of educa tion, Portland State college, at Governor's conference, warned of the dangers lurking in the production of "captive scientists." "If people decide schools should be used as a tool of na tional policy we are on our way to dictatorship," he stated. "We must continue to oppose restriction and seduction whether it is in the name of education or something else. "Contrary to the basic tenets of our society, the mili tary is gaining more control of budgets and we are threat ened with ascendancy of the military control of civilian life. , "If we are to have peace in our time we must teach pupils to seek ways in which man can be safe with himself how to crowd and still be kind. The dangers come from man himself, can he learn to control the machines he devises? "How to .become safe from each other is our greatest challenge. "If war comes, the dark ages of the future will make the dark ages of the past seem like a pleasant interlude. When man decides to kill man, there are no pleasant methods." The idea of public education is being challenged today, Dr. Spalding said, urging his audience "not to let professional educators decide whether your children be educated." ' Work at all levels is oriented in terms of service to the state and learning is tied directly into service in Russia, Dr. John R. Ludington, director, aid to state and local schools branch, U. S. Office of Education, told the Govern or's conference in making his report of his recent examina tion of schools in the U.S.S.R. Dr. Ludington pointed out that an evaluation of the schools in Russia was difficult in view of the fact that a Soviet leader may push a button and change the Course of '''fll J i -M Nit- I & : ' , : EVERY 24.98 COAT III WARDS STOCK CUT PRICED... 3 DAYS ONLY 1 988 i Qualify fabrics .Polished zibelines, clpaca piles, textured tweeds, plushes, fleeces,, suede or chinchilla cloths.

Dr. Ludington described the Russians as apparently happy, well fed and well clothed but commented that "good education itself produces differences," adding that there are no differences in Russia "Our faith was renewed in the principles of American education" after viewing the Russian educational system, tne speaker declared. "I could tell you much more," Mrs. H. added in a note 'For instance, that more teachers are leaving their jobs because of behaviour problems in school that because of lack of money to quote Dr. Raymond Lowe, University of Oregon.' -u.b.
