The bill under study, spon sored by Rep. Edith Green and others, would provide $2' million a year to aid school districts in which migrant children are educated, and $300,000 for summer schools for the children. "We spend more money na tionally on migratory birds, on pigs, cows and the semi obsolete horse than we do on Ihese migrant children," said Edgar Fuller, executive sec retary of the Council of Chief State School Officers. Dr. Rex Putnam, slate su perintendent of public instruc tion, and Norman O. Wilson, Oregon commissioner of la bor, testified last week in fa vor of Mrs. Green's bill. Deals With Local Areas Dr. Putnam stressed that although he agreed with the blendcd neutral spirits. You'll like it. PEERS FOR FIFTY YEARS Fifth Coda 224B Coda 224C .)0X ESllK NfUIIM SPIMS. IDS. S.

As the bill is now drawn, the federal government would deal directly with the local areas in dispensing funds, and he believes that the state agency should handle such disbursement. He estimated that there are 2,000 migrant children in Or egon schools each year. The Study of Migrant Chil dren in Oregon Public Schools also estimated that the figure would reach 5,000 if children up to age 18 were added who were not in school. Migrant children begin to appear in March and April to swell enrollments of school districts in areas hiring their families as agricultural work ers. Their education is patch work because they spend so little lime in one area. Most do not go beyond the 8th grade. Over 60 of the boys and girls are retarded from two to four grades in achieve ment. Not Menially Backward Dr. Putnam pointed out with fi Pint . . , , Conscientiously Representing the FARMER the MERCHANT the LABORER ROGUE RIVER PROTECTION BETTER JUVENILE LAWS EDUCATION LUMBER INDUSTRY for the TAXPAYER that although the children are retarded in their education, they are not mentally back ward. "There is just as much potential with them as with any other group," he said. The study also showed that this retardation almost guar antees that the children will not finish school. Sixteen-year-olds are not comfortable sit ting next to 13-year-olds. In stead they marry at 17 or 18 and try to find work. Labor Commissioner Nil son stated: "As mechanization of agri culture reduces the need for hand harvesting and cultivat ing, many thousands of to day's migrant children will be forced without any prepara tion to seek competitive posi tions in other occupations." Education Demanded He warned that employers in industry are demanding at least a high school education for nearly all types of jobs. "If we wait," Nilson contin ued, 'the' only answer will be to carry them as tax burdens social misfits and economic parasites who make no contri bution to the defense or wel fare of our nation." Oregon drew praise from committee members for hav ing made a start on the prob lem. Oregon has passed legis lation which called for a two year study on migrant chil dren. Some pilot projects have been started as well. Dr. Putnam said that two summer school pilot projects were in operation in the sum mer of 1959, and four are planned for the summer of 1960. Other witnesses stressed that local school boards in some areas of the country are reluctant to spend money for the extra children because "they aren't our problem" and "the parents do not share the tax burden for the schools." The witnesses felt that initia tive should come from the Federal Government as in centive for the school boards to plan for the influx of the children. As Nilson said: "We have found that because of the inter-state character of the prob lem, there is a positive limit to how much we can accom plish at the state and local level." The Eisenhower administra I tion is opposed to the bill be cause ot the cost. Supporting it arc The National Council of Churches, The Oregon Coun cil of Churches, the Oregon YWCA, the PTA, the AFL- CIO and the Farmers Union. Nilson compared the poten tial of the migrant children to un-polished diamonds. "When diamonds come from a mine, their quality is not at that time measured by their uncut and unpolished appear ance. It is not realistic to measure the potential of the migrants by. their uncut and unpolished appearance any more than it is with crude diamonds. 'It is of the human ore of which we speak here, and there are few who cannot im prove if given the opportunity to do so." Rivers and lakes are less bouyant than the ocean.
