By WILLIAM R. TEAGUE UPI Correspondent Kent, O. - (LTD - Russia's 10 year (elementary) schools have a good record. Out of every 1,000 children who start in the first grade, 125 finish the 10th. The United States is the only nation with a higher graduate average. Only the first seven years are required, but there are tempting 1 rewards for those who finish out the 10th grade. These graduates can look for ward to four or five years of paid education in a technical school or university. Prof. Gerald Read of Kent State University, who studied the Russian school system in the Soviet Union, reported there are 28 million students in the 10-year schools. The 1,500,000 who graduated last year have been exposed to six years of foreign language study, five years of physics, three years of biology, six years of mathematics and four years of chemistry-five times more scientific hours than the minimum require ment for entrance to the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology. Family Council The Family Council-Std Hd. Gloria M. Dad wants to marry our girl friend. Jarne. M. I want to move forward into a new life. Gloria M. My sister and I are single girls in our early 20s. Our mother died less than a year ago and we have been keeping house for our father. We have done our best to comfort our father and see that he is not lonely. We have gone out of our way to re strict our social activities to at-home parties so that there are people around the house. Imagine our surprise when, a week ago, Dad announced that he was going to marry one of our girl friends! This is just about the crazi est thing we have ever heard. There is nearly 30 years be tween Dad and this girl. We don't mind his getting mar ried again, but it is so very soon after our mother died. I can't help but think how heart-broken Mother would be if she could know. Shouldn't he show more re spect for her memory? James M. As far as my daughters are concerned my life should have ended with my wife's. For a time I felt that way myself. But now I have the desire to stop look ing back. I want to move forward into a new life. I am in my 50s, true, but I am in very good health and I am taken for many years younger than my real age. I feel young and I want youth around me. My daughters think they ought to be enough for me, but they aren't. , The girls don't realize that they would leave me to my self at the drop of a hat if the right opportunity present ed itself. In fact, I suspect them of being a little jealous that I and not they have found love. The Council James makes a very harsh accusation when he refers to his daughters' possible jealousy. There may be a strain of truth in it, but it is a brutal answer to some of their justifiable protests. The fact that he could use such a crude weapon suggests that he realizes his position is a poor one and calls for vio lent defense. James apparently does not recognize that he is still suf fering from the blow of his. wife's death. He has just gotten back his wind and is enjoying a resurgence of the feeling of life and the desire to live. His daughters should recognize that his present actions do not imply disre spect or lack of love for their mother. They are the actions of a man who is reeling. James should make an ef fort to steady himself. He should recognize that he and his prospective wife are in a hurry to marry because they do not want to give them selves time to think. The girl, who now represents nothing but the rosy glow of youth, is really an ill-balanced indi vidual who will probably be quite hard to live with. In any case, James owes himself time to fully recover from shock. (Copyright 1958. General Feature Corp.) "Of course, screams go up in Russia to give more time to science. Some would re duce all to science. There is no organized religious educa tion under 16 . . . science is everything," Read said. Most Russian graduates possess a science-heavy know ledge that has been drilled into them. Their education is tailored to the needs of the state. A boy is paid to become an engineer. Then he must work three years in a job the state gives him. "The Russians' interest in foreign languages is just one of many ideas they are try ing," Read said. "Seven-year-olds now begin writing with pen and ink in the first grade. They have projects in doing. This is the John Dewey idea of 1930. They threw it out but are bringing it back now. "They also are bringing in lathe and workshop projects and are pushing polytechnic al education in 500 schools. And despite the fact they have few cars, there is a new emphasis on driver education in Russia. "Every student must learn to identify all the parts of a car, including the electrical parts. He must know them before he gets a license." Same Courses Studied In morning classes all study the same courses, Read said. There are no electives. There are no IQ tests. AH students advance at the same speed. "What we do in football, they do in self -study pro jects," Read said. "We hire four coaches to teach foot ball. They hire tutors to work each day with students inter- CP Fire District To Elect Directors Central Point Eligible voters in the Central Point Rural Fire Protection district will vote Dec. 1 for two direc tors and decide on annexation of a piece of property in the White City area.
