Main Medford the maintenance of kindergar tens and post high school educational opportunities, Is chided In the newly released report of the Governor's Com mittee on Children and Youth. The Governor's committee, which devotes considerable space of the release to educa tion, reports that Oregon schools have advanced to na tonal recognition because of their educational achieve ment. Cooperative school-community relations in this state get a healthy pat on the back in the report and some credit in this achievement. "The people of Oregon have made great strides in reducing the number of districts, in de fining the relationship of the state to the county and local districts, and in improving the structure of the county of fices. Adequately prepared ad ministrators have made con sistent Improvement since 1950 In the leadership of schools." Increased Current Emphasis While increased current em phases on science programs and curriculum needs for col lege bound students is good, the committee points out that attention to the rest of the students must also be main tained in a balanced program of Instruction suited to the needs and talents of all pupils. A related section In the re port on youth employment points out that failure to rec ognize and utilize the talents, abilities and skills of young people who are occupatlonally bound can be just as great a threat to our economy and na tional defense as neglect or indifference to the college bound group. In Oregon each June, the report states, at least SO per cent of all high school grad uates attempt to go to work. "In Oregon," the committee members wrote, "planned vo cational guidance and job placement of high school youth who want employment does not compare favorably with the guidance and plan ned transition from high school to college which is pro vided to the other BO per cent of Oregon's graduates." Many Recommendation! In the education field alone, the committee has a great many recommendations. A few of them: Opportunity for vocational and technical training. Instructional pro gram should be planned to include, in a balanced relationship, special services such as guid ance and counseling, instruc tion for migrant children, for the physically handicapped, for the talented, the academi cally able, the slow learner, the mentally retarded, the slow learner, the mentally re tarded, the emotionally dis turbed and the average stu dent. That techniques of certifi cation of teachers be simpli fied. Goal to be reached is the assumption by the state of SO per cent of the operating costs of public education. Continuation of excellent efforts at teacher recruitment, training opportunities, com munity school Interests. The youth employment sec tion recommends that a spec ialized counseling and place ment service be Inaugurated on a trial basis in those areas of the state in which youth are experiencing difficulty in obtaining appropriate voca tional guidance and Job place ment service. Comprehensive study by many interested groups of ap prenticeship program! is also urged, as well as a better co ordinated effort on the part of state employment agencies, employer groups, labor organ izations, churches, schools, cit izen's groups and the state ap prenticeship council to im press the non-college bound 50 per cent with need and im portance of adequate training. The report also suggests changes In Oregon law to per mit minors under 16 to work until 9 p.m. (present law says 6 p.m.) during the times schools are not In session and minors 16 to 18 in places of amusement until 11:30 p.m. when schools are not In session. new fashions that put you in style . a Coat that starts your Easter wardrobe Stops eyes with its rich fabric textures Just tno coat to start your basic wardrobe because every featuVe Is up to the minute . . , from the richly textured fabric (92 wool and 8 nylon) to the clean, uncluttered tailoring that trims you down in a way you'll heartily ap prove of.
