The tjuession hardly a new one has come
into sharper focus in recent weeks, and promises
to get hoiter before U gets cooler.
A KKCKNT bwJi. entitled "The Miseducation
cf Teach' by James Koerner, puts heavy
emphasis on the for teachers who are broad
ly educated. jukI very light emphasis on the
methodology of etuc:uuu
Likewise ia Califctruu where the elemen
tary and secondary schools are now in the midst
of a massivw debate
things, the academic vs. method argument, com
plicated by politics and rivalry among the lead
ers of the school system the emphasis is swing
ing toward the academic side.
Time magazine reports that, ultimately, "Cali
fornia will turn down all (teaching) applicants
whose sole and chief training is in the method
ology of teaching. Instead, it will demand de
grees in academic subjects, stressing substance
over technique.
THE magazine adds :
. "The change profoundly affects California's 46
teacher-training institutions, which have to get more
academic or practically go out of business. Also
affected: many education schools in other states, which
supply nearly one-third of California's new teachers.
California itself may be in for initial trouble; a short
age of teachers able to meet the new standards."
If applied to the state's current teachers, the
new standards would disqualify 20 per cent of
high school teachers, 75 per cent of junior college
instructors, and a fat 90 per cent of elementary
teachers.
The change is in accord with the recommen
dations set forth in Koerner's book, which calls
for a drastic upgrading of the level of teacher
education, and of the members of the profession
themselves.
THIS change, which is also being noted in other
sections of the country, represents a swing
back to fundamentals,
prerequisite for a teacher is a thorough knowl
edge of what he is teaching, and that methods
are a matter of common
personality.
Right here in the Rogue valley, we know of
several instances where individuals with ad
vanced degrees attempted
tificates, only to be told they had to return to
college for courses in how to teach.
While there is a certain lotnc in this, if car
ried to extremes it can result in ludicrous situa
tions. Even Oregon's best university and college
professors could not teach in elementary or
secondary schools without added "education"
courses.
THE swing will not go all the way back, how-
pvpr nprtain stnrtrlarrla fnr tpnphors am im
perative, and something
acquaintance with teaching methods which
has grown into something of a science in itself
will continue to be required. Similarly, although
they may take up less of
training, there will remain the need for such
things as curriculum preparation, educational
sociology, psychology, the use of audio-visual
aids, and so on.
But it seems to us that California is on the
right track in insisting that a teacher know
enough about what he is teaching to make it
meaningful and important to his students.
Still, the whole debate is almost academic as
it applies to some individuals. For it is true now,
and always will be, that a good teacher is good,
and a poor teacher is poor, no matter what kind
of background and training and education they
may be offered. E.A.
Clash in
The changes in education in California are
doubly interesting in that they come at a time
of clash between the two chief figures in Cali
fornia elementary and secondary education, Max
Rafferty, the newly elected superintendent of
public instruction, and Thomas W. Braden, the
recently reappointed president ot tne state board
of education.
Rafferty was elected last fall in a campaign
in which the John Birch Society was among his
backers, and he himself had declared he is an un
abashed conservative. His campaign was based
on a "back to the fundamentals theme.
Braden was reappointed by the Governor over
the protests of several right wing groups, and is
looked upon as a liberal, both politically and educationally.
DAFFERTY, while elected, still has to report
to the board of education, which is appointed,
and which Braden heads. There have been a
number of well-publicized clashes.
But, according to the account in Time, it was
Braden, not Rafferty, who is responsible for the
rather drastic changes in teacher requirements.
The net effect, says Time, is that Braden has
stolen a good deal of Rafferty's thunder in Cali
fornia education. &.A.

Kennedy Calls for
Action To Reduce
Pesticide Hazards
Washington - OIPD-President
Kennedy has ordered immedi.
ate government steps to cut
down the health hazards re
sulting from the widespread
use of pesticides.
Kennedy revealed a 46
page report from his science
advisory committee warning
that the environment is suf
fering "increasing contamin
ation" from chemical poisons.
The scientists said pesti
cides have been a great boon
to mankind and their "judi
cious use" must be continued.
But it urged prompt steps to
minimize risks to humans
resulting from "continued ex
posures to small amounts of
these chemicals."
The committee made a study
of pesticides following the
controversy that arose around
Rachel Carson's book "Silent
Spring."
In a statement accompany
ing the report, Kennedy said
he had ordered federal agen
cies to carry out the commit
tee s recommendations within
their authority, and to pre
pare legislation for Congress
where warranted.
A senate subcommittee be
gan hearings Thursday on pes
ticide hazards. Dr. Jerome
Weisner, chairman of the
President's science advisory
committee, will present the
committee's report formally
to Congress at the opening ses
sion.
The committee agreed with
Miss Carson there was "evi
dence of increasing environ
mental contamination."

Boy You're Supposed
"Today, pesticides are de
tectable in many food items,
in some clothing, in man and
animals, and in various parts
of our natural surroundings.
Carried from one locality
to another by air currents, wa
ter runoff, or living organ
isms, pesticides have traveled
great distances and some of
them have persisted for long
periods of time.
"Although they remain in
small quantities, their variety,
toxicity and persistence are
affecting biological systems in
nature and may eventually af
fect human health," it said.
The committee said there is
urgent need for more research
to determine how much pes
ticide is reaching human be
ings through food, water and
air, and what "long-term im
pact" small quantities of
these poisons may 'have on
health. It recommended that
the Department of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare under
take "comprehensive" studies
of these questions.
Use Reduction Aikad
It also called for an "or
derly reduction" in the use
of pesticides, such as DDT
and other chlorinated hydro
carbons, that are particularly
long lasting.
The eventual goal, it said,
should be total elimination of
persistent toxic pesticides in
favor of safer chemicals
which will be more "selec
tive" in their targets and dis
appear more rapidly alter
use.
The committee echoed Miss
Carson's concern about the
'substantial mortalities among
birds and other wildlife" that
have resulted from pesticide
spraying programs. It said
that not all of the neavy wild
life losses have resulted from
careless misuse of chemicals;
some have followed govern
ment financed programs that
were "carried out exactly as
planned"
It recommended tnat wild
life protection be considered
in any legislation Congress
enacts on pesticide programs.
The committee urged re
peal of the law under which
the agriculture department
may be compelled to grant a
registration "under protest
to the manufacturer of a pes
ticide which it considers un
duly dangerous or otherwise
undesirable.

LEFT-HANDED THOUGHT
If you are normally a right-
handed person, try a little ex.
periment for a half-hour or so:
do with your
left hand
every thing
that you usual
ly do with
your right.
The most sinv
pie and ob
vious acts will
become c o tri
plicated and
cumberso m e.
You will hardly be able to
write or cut or eat your food;
and you will quickly become
baffled, frustrated and ex
asperated. Now imagine, this lop-sided
process intensified a thou
sandfold, and you may have
some idea of how painful and
difficult It Is to think "with
the left hand" - that is, to
reverse our customary process
of thought.
Why has science mad
such enormous strides in
knowledge and develop
ment, while human affairs
still remain largely as they
war in iha days of the
Assyrian Empire? Largely
because every advance in
science is gained by revers
ing the spool of thought
by thinking in a way thai
is opposite of tha traditional
and customary ways.
Of all the habits of man
kind, tha habits of thought
are tha most persistant, the
most tenacious, tha most en
slaving. We put on an idea
in iha morning as we put
on a shoe, left or right first,
unconsciously and withov'
ever varying the procedure
by a fraction.
And our resistance
against changi. j our habits
of thought is immense and
unrelenting. If we try,
briefly, we find It as vexing
and unrewarding as writing
a latter with the left hand.
What wa are used to is com
fortable; what is comfort
able is good; and what is
good is right - this is the
unspoken belief of almost
all people everywhere.
When a scientist, however,
tackles a problem that has
hitherto seemed insoluble, he
abandons all his preconcep
tions, and all the preconcep
tions of the past. Only when
he begins to question the basic
assumptions he has always
held can he make an utterly
fresh start, unencumbered by
the intellectual baggage of
the past.
I am not suggesting that a
knowledge of the past Is not
useful, or that history and
tradition have little to offer
us - but they must be used as
tools, not as points of depar
ture. Our thinking about them
must involve a painful revalu-

the present standstill In

crisis brought to a head.
At home, his most notable
failure has been agriculture.
Abroad, the Red Chinese
are challenging his leadership
with demands for a tough line
against the West, particularly
the United States.
There is now a general be

ation of our most cherished
ideas and ideals.
Not one person in a thou
sand is willing - although
many are able - to think left
handed for more than a few
minutes at a time. Yet every
important discovery has been
made in this way, from Har
vey on circulation of the
blood to Freud on the role
of the unconscious. And we
know what derision and abuse
such men were subjected to
for daring to violate' the right
handedness of their times.

While Major Cooper made
his fabulous circuits of the
earth, and the rest of us in
Southern Oregon were watch
ing him by TV, little Sandra
Ruconich at her home in
Klamath Falls was watching
him also - in spite of the fact
that she has been BLIND
since birth. She was watching
with her sensitive fingers
while she listened.
The watching with her fin
gers is made possible by
means of a special globe made
for her by Arthur Epperson.
The lines on the globe follow
accurately Major Cooper's or
bits. They are made by threads
glued to the surface of the
globe, so that she can follow
them with the tips of her sen
sitive fingers. The equator
is marked by a heavier glued
on cord, and the globe is quar
tered by heavier cords.
She got the story just as
clearly as the rest of us who
have no handicaps. That ia
a story as wonderful as Jules
Verne could have imagined.

There's Mrs.- (old) Rocke.

stops at 12. Enter Mr, and
Mrs. (new) Rockefeller and
the four (new) children.
"Oh," says Mrs. (old) Rock

Rockefeller. "Oh-oh," says Mr.
(suddenly looking very old)
Rockefeller. "Now let us all
behave in a very civilized
fashion." Which is what men
always say in such circum
stances. .
But before he can introduce
everybody - iq case he was
thinking of it - the elevator
stops again. And in step Mr,
and Mrs. Nixon, their two
Nixonettes and Checkers,
"Oh," says Mr. Rockefeller.
"Oh," says Mr. Nixon.
"I would like to welcome
you into this elevator as a dis
tinguished American," says
Mr. Rockefeller nervously,
"And I hope you will enter
local politics. At the ward
level." "I am just here to prac

dignity.
"May I introduce you," says
Mr. Rockefeller, wiping his
brow, "to my wives and chil.

children and those are her
children who are now my
children and this is Mrs. Rock

says Mr. Nixon politely. "Not
that one!" snaps Mr. Rocke.
feller. "This one." "I'm just
here to practice law," says Mr.
Nixon. "Is that a crack?" says
Mr. Rockefeller angrily.
And right then the elevator
breaks down, : ,
Well, if you've ever been
trapped in an elevator, you
know how the confinement

Of course, the kids, being
