He said at the start of the 20th century only four out of every ivo young peopie of college age were enrolled in a college or university.

By 1930, he said, the col lege population had risen to 15 per cent and by 1959 near ly 50 per cent of high school graduates were entering a col lege or university.

But, he said, "it is equally important that we continue to give serious attention to the large number of students planning to continue educa tion beyond high school." Suggestions Offered He offered five suggestions as to how high schools could improve chances that better students would be admitted to and graduate from a good college. 1. Create an atmosphere in which intellectual achieve ment is recognized, admired and respected. 2. Provide a solid base of academic subjects required of all students. 3. Recognize the wide vari ations in the intellectual ca pacities among any group of students. 4. High school teachers and college teachers must work more intimately together in re-examining subject matter content of high school courses. Lot of Learning Needed 5. "Most important of all" we must somenow incuiate in students of all levels more of the love of learning, more of the adventure of learning." Hubert N. Alyea, professor of chemistry at Princeton, told educators that lucky ac cidents had made possible man-made plastics, man-made drugs and man-made atoms. But he said each "lucky acci dent which led to a great dis covery did so because the ex perimenter was trained." School News Eagle Pt.

H. P. Jewett School Central Point - Students of the first and second grades at the Jewett Elementary school, were given the state audio tests last week. This service is by the Jack- on county health department in conjunction with the state department of education hearing conservation program arranged by the Oregon state board of health. The tests de tect hearing difficulties and other ear problems requiring medical attention. The Jewett school had an assembly program last Wed nesday. Three rooms joined in preparing a short program and invited the other rooms to be their guests in the cafe torium. Mrs. Helen Johnson's room did a number honoring George Washington's birth day. Mrs. Betty von der Hel len's room did an exercise about the seasons and Mrs. Rhoda Haskins' first graders did a choral reading about the Little Red Hen and the Grain of Wheat. Rocks are the chief center of interest in the science classes. Mrs. Johnson's and Mrs. Olivia Ryerson's rooms have some very interesting specimens. Many signs of spring are appearing in the second grade. Pussy willows were the first to appear, but they were followed by jasmine, forsythia and crocuses. The pussy willows were used in art classes in Mrs. Viola Schwab's and Mrs. Katherine Leavitt's rooms. The children made pussy cats out of them and used them in cut paper designs. They cut paper vases and filled them with pussy willow catkins. The children in Mrs. Schwab's room are also doing free hand cutting and pasting to illustrate the stories that have been read. In Mrs. Alice Gay's room, the children have brought jars of different kinds of soil to school. In the soil they have planted beans. They put the jars in the sun and wa ter them each day. The chil dren are going to watch for -how soon the plants begin to grow, if the seeds grow in every jar, if 'the plants are all big, and if some of the plants grow better than others and if any of the plants die.

Contributions to Aid in Fight of Kidney Disease Coin canisters have been placed in . many locations in the Medford area in the 1960 "K-Day" campaign in which contributions, are received to help fight kidney disease, Mrs. Gordon T. Elliott, 1951 West Main st., Medford, has announced. Mrs. Elliott, chairman of the 1960 drive, said contribu tions will help support serv ice projects, including a drug bank which supplies medi cines to victims of nephrosis and other kidney diseases, and increased research into ill nesses which are fatal to thousands each year. The Kidney Disease Foun dation, which estimated that at least 3 million Americans are victims of some form of kidney disease, sponsors re search projects in 45 univer sities and medical centers. Nephrosis, Mrs. Elliott not ed, is only one of several kid ney diseases which require re search into causes, cures and treatment. Another Is hypertension, about 25 per cent of which has been estimated to involve a malfunctioning kidney. Pye lonephritis, most common of all kidney diseases, has been a leading cause of death al though it is curable, Mrs. El liott said. Today, new diag nostic techniques, including radio-active tracers, help find the condition earlier, and con trol its progress. ' Another condition in which the kidney plays a major role is toxemia, a common com plication of pregnancy. In its severest form, known as eclampsis, the condition takes the lives of many mothers G33S? Equitable Savings planned rate 4. AP0 Automatic PayOff Savings 4 !&.

The Council reports on problems that have been dealt wt by responsible aiencies and Barbara D. - Stan doesn't care for Ms stepfather. Stanley B. - I'd be better off with my uncle. Barbara D. I was recent ly remarried and I feel that I am caught between the devil and the deep blue sea where the relationship between my son and his stepfather is con cerned. ' ' I was a widow for four years and I realize it's hard for the kids to adjust to hav ing a new man in the house - especially for - our oldest boy,; Stan, 14. The younger boy and girl took to their dad from the start. George has been just won derful to Stan, but the boy is very cold to him. This hurts George terribly as he has tried to be a real pal to Stan. He loves the boy, but Stan has even said he wants to leave us and stay with his uncle. .' . Stanley B. - Before Mom married again she said if I couldn't get along with my new father she would let me spend all my weekends and vacations with my uncle. Now when I want to go there, she says she didn't mean every single weekend and vacation. Mom says I haven't tried to like my stepfather, but she's wrong. I have tried. I know he wants to be nice to me, but he gets on my nerves. He wants to take me' fishing, to ball games and stuff like that and I'd rather go with my friends. He complains to my mother if I don't want to go with him. My uncle says he'd be will ing to adopt me if Mom would let him. I'd be better off with him. ' The Council: A number of factors are interfering with Stanley's adjustment to his stepfather and we think the biggest one is the father's ex treme efforts to please and curry favor. George, the stepfather, should be aware that although most of us like attention, we don't like being overwhelmed or engulfed by another per son and we are decidedly sus picious or contemptuous of those who give up their own natural self-assertion in an at tempt to win. a token of af fection from us. ammsmsm!.'tKiMM:.wmatm ihiiimivhimi mi m i " " mmmim&mitm&mk. ; MKmtstzsmifmmmm u..i'.. vnM.u.x.ii.jmi-n -i. i i mi iiiiimiwMiwtwnwiwiiwiw Jiiiimmgimmmsgsmmmmiimm iimm i i. m ' nmimmmii itmimusmmmMU&sm. sssssssssss'z """ assiai Bmimmmmmmmmimmimimim mammmmxmmmmmmimimBsm BMWflMHm"lnwiffliiiiiM mmnnmm-mmmmm - w mmmmmww au s wi jr.ur.jss sv.l,.e fmrwiimnnujioiitwis am i 1 mximmiMmll!lSi!mm!mmmm' - i jf'iSsJIZ-xJy !SM'&tS5?v Jiii.aaiiissMSMejaajBar mtomumgmimvm mmmmmmm i i ffMYjfJy JsSSMrv 1 ' --'"""eassaasessaaae Mwwffnwiiin urn mi m iiwwinimwi " - J f jjlOT.

He wants a model toward whom he can reach. He doesn't need a father-pal so much as a real father. Many fathers, who felt a lack of con tact with their fathers in their own. boyhood, tend to overdo the "pal", role with their sons. The friendship between father and young son is a special sort - not at all the kind that exists between males on an equal level. 1 v A secondary factor in the way of this relationship is Barbara's anxiety about it. There is no chance for natu ral, spontaneous warmth and interest to develop as long as she continues to breathe down the necks of her husband and the boy. She must let time and nature take its course here. " The third factor, and pos sibly the biggest one, is the uncle's effort to take over the boy. This man wants the boy in order to satisfy some self ish emotional need, and Bar bara should tell him she has no intention of giving up her son. Stanley should be told his place is with his mother and the visits to his uncle must be limited to what is ap propriate in such a relation ship. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.)
