About Education in United States By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Things you (maybe) didn't know about education in the U.S.A.: Hauling kids to and from school has become a major in dustry. A U. S. Office of Ed ucation survey shows, that more than 176,000 buses are now being operated by public school districts across the na tion. They transport more than 12 million children on daily round-trips from home to school. The annual cost of operat ing this "great yellow fleet" (leaving out the cost of buying the buses) is nearly $450 mil lion. One interesting fact: even today, nearly two-thirds of the children get to school on foot, on bikes or in private car pools. English is taught as a "for eign" or second language in thousands of U.S. schools. New York City schools, for example, serve a population in which one out of every ten persons speaks English as his native tongue. An estimated 45,000 Indian students in fed eral schools come from homes where English is spoken rare ly, if at all. Texas educates nearly 500,000 Spanish-speaking school children, mostly of Mexican heritage. In some communities of Maine, 90 per Two Area Youths Are Counselors At Boys State Corvallis - David Foote, route 1, Central Point, and John Snider, 2500 Argonne place, Medford, are among the 12 outstanding h '. g h school boys picked to be junior coun selors for this year's Beaver Boys State and Oregon State university. Scheduled June 11 to 17 this year, Beaver Boys State is a citizenship training pro gram sponsored by the Ameri can Legion. It includes class work in local, stale and feder al government; Great Ameri cans and American history; and international relations. Between 450 and 500 boys are expected to attend this year's program. The junior counselors will help plan and supervise the week's schedule and will be in charge of the various living groups. From Last Year The 12 junior counselors for this year were picked from last year's Boys State group. All youths attending Boys Stale are sponsored by serv ice, fraternal, or business groups and American Legion posts. Foote was "first citizen" at Boys State a year ago and as such was one of the two Ore gon representatives to Boys Nation in Washington, D. C. He is student body president at Crater High school, played in the school band, partici pates in all sports, and was state reporter for -' u t u r e Farmers of America. At Boys State last year, he was elected district attorney and mayor of 0.10 of the Boys Stale cities. Snider was elected to the county assessor post at Boys Stale. He was voted freshman class president and student body trcaurer in high school and has been sports editor of the school paper in addition to playing football, basketball, golf and swimming.

MEN'S CLOTHINO Main and Ctntral cent of the residents speak French. A study by the National Academy of Sciences shows that the northeastern states outstrip the rest of the coun try, by almost 50 per cent in the production of Ph.D.s. The middle Atlantic states are sec ond, with the east south cen tral states in last place. The same study shows that Ph.D.s in science are twice as likely to come from large high schools as from small ones. This finding corroborates the common-sense conclusion that well-equipped scientific labor atories which are found in nearly all large high schools but very few small ones con tribute greatly to the stim ulation of a career interest in science. In 1957 (before sputnik) only 18 U.S. high schools of fered courses in Russian. To day, nearly 600 do. The num ber of colleges teaching Rus sian has increased from 175 to 480 in the same period. But Spanish remains the most popular modern foreign language in American schools. It is studied by 8.8 per cent of all students. Six per cent of our students take French. 1.2 per cent study German, and three-tenths of one per cent are enrolled in Italian classes. Nearly one-fourth of Amer ica's school teachers believe that television is having a "se rious" effect on children's homework. Almost 60 per cent of the teachers polled by the National Education asso ciation research division said TV-watching "restricts study time, but not to a serious ex lent." Only 13 per cent held that the TV has no effect on study habits. A 7 Seasons $S2T Bird Watcher W Sixteen colleges and uni versities representing less than one per cent of the na tion's institutions of higher education-produce more than 25 per cent of the nation's college teachers.

Despite a steady trend to ward consolidation of small school districts, there are still 25,000 one - teacher rural schools in the United States. Winter 1960-61 This is the last seasonal column that I will be writing, since we expect to move about May 1. I gave my last bird talk to the Natural History club this week and mentioned some of the birds that I will miss because they are found here but not In the Salem-Portland area to which we are moving. One I will miss the most is the plain titmouse, little gray bird with a crest that has been around our place here all the time we have lived here, coming to the feeders In the winter, nesting in a hole in an oak tree each spring. Another is the brown towhee, also very friendly and familiar about the place during several seasons. Another bird that lives in our valley and not much to the north of here is the tricolored blackbird. I should have said "birds" because this species flocks together In large numbers. Two summers we found their nesting colonies with a couple of thousand birds or so, a notable sight as the birds fly in and out of it. The fourth bird I will miss is the acorn woodpecker, so abundant and conspicuous in this valley among the oak trees that furnish its favorite food and the power poles that provide a favorite storage place for the acorns. They are a cheery bird. They seem to enjoy chasing each other around at certain seasons. They often dart out into the air after insects to supplement their acorn diet. The winter was a mild one, but we haven't many unusual observations. Our Christmas count was the most successful ever. We recorded 88 species. My own part in this began with phenomenal luck, the kind you dream about but don't expect to have. I heard jays making a fuss and found a great horned owl just a half block from our house. There were nine scrub jays and one Steller's jay squawking around it. The rough-legged hawks, apparently a pair, remained around the valley through the winter, but I think they have gone north now. On the day of the Christmas count I had a particularly good view of one of them. It was very light in color, almost whitish on the head. . I suppose cinnamon teal were the earliest spring migrants. We saw some Jan. 23. You can't call that spring, but they weren't around in the earlier part of the winter. We saw the first tree swallows Feb. 13. That day we saw two. By the 27th the number had built up to 60 by the Game Commission pond and on March 6, J. H. estimated 800 on the wires at the same place. The rainy weather we have had in late winter and early spring has not been good for bird migration, or for seeing them when they do come in. I saw turkey vultures on a trip to the Willamette Valley but haven't seen them in our valley yet, I haven't seen a hummingbird yet either. Since I am leaving I thought it would be a good idea to go through my notes and compile a list of all the birds I have seen in Jackson county in the seven years we have been here. It came to an even 200. I made notes to Indicate how often I had seen each species and in what places. I filed one list with Dr. Franklin Sturgcs at Southern Oregon college and one with George Alderson al the Oregon Audu bon society. Students often like to know what birds other observers have seen at a given period. Some of the most Interesting observations came because of information given by people who read this column during the year that I wrote it on a weekly basis. Among these were the mockingbird and Alien s hummingbird. &o 1 want to thank again the Mail Tribune for giving me this space, and the many readers of the column who have phoned in their information or their questions. My stay in this valley has been a very happy one because of my work relationships and also because of my hobby. It is a fine place to study birds. The valley and mountains offer great variety of habitat. We are likely to gel stray visitors from nearby California. Early spring records, or late fall ones, are easy to get because of being farthest south in the slate. Another nice thing has been the companions I have had in pursuing my hobby. My Monday morning trips with Maj. Gen. J. H. Hicks have been among my greatest pleasures, and there are other good birding friends loo numerous to mention. Luckily for me, my favorite of all birding compan ions, named Virginia, will be going with me to other fields. We won't be going far away, but until we meet again we wish for you all the companionship of many birds, brightly plumagcd and sweetly singing. T.M.
