It is long overdue, too. The current issue of the Saturday Evening Post has a long article entitled "Our Backward Schools," which deplores the methods and hab its and traditions which have prevented many schools from offering cope with our increasingly complex society and civilization. Jt details many new in learning, and how adopted much more universally than is possible at present. npilE fact is that schools are having a tough A enough time just staying even with the de mands made upon them, let alone going into much exnerimentintr in But increasingly, such experiments are being made. Medford is one of the places where limited experiments in such things as team teaching are going forward. At the same time, schools are this year United States adopting a system of "flexible scheduling," a new concept in scheduling classes which tailors the time available to the subject matter being taught. A RELEASE from Stanford University explains that individual schedules for the 6,000 stu dents in the three schools have been developed on computers at btanrord under a project ti nanced by the Fund for Education. It took two professors the flexible scheduling, tne traditional scnooi minute periods. Only the high speed computer made it pos sible to fit pupils, teachers, rooms and subjects together for varying times durincr the school week. ' A course of study is first determined after recommendations of district officials, polls of parents and of teachers. Then the computer is fed the data indicating course structure, length of the class, how often it meets, plus a list of the teach ers assigned, rooms available and what they can be used for such as laboratories, libraries, ath letics, music, language labs, and so on. Then, one of the professors explains, "out from the machine comes who teaches what, when, where, and who the pupils are in each class." JND he added: "For example, a flexible schedule allows the school to have classes of different lengths and different sizes, depend ing on the time needed and the nature of the subject matter. For a general lecture, a large number of students could attend in the auditorium, let's say. For a discussion, just a few students could attend in another room for a different length of time, perhaps on a different day. "There are some activities which obviously require more lime than others. Present classes often are handicapped be cause they're all the same length of time. Thus an hour may be too short lo conduct a chemistry experiment or to play a good game of baseball and shower afterward, while an hour may be too long to practice a dialogue in a foreign language. Willi a flexible schedule, the chemistry lab or physical educa tion period could each last for an hour and a half or even two hours or more, while a lecture or practice class in French could meet for 30 minutes or less." It is an interesting concept, and offers siderable promise for the future. E.A.

"Valley of the Rogue" is, in our view, uninspired, confusingly descrip tive (what with all the other Rogue' this-and-that's around), vapid and lacking in character. AXE THINK it should he renamed. We have always thought so. Once, we proposed the name "Tailholt," but got nowhere with the proposal. Now we would like to suggest "Takelma State Park," or perhaps "Takelma Indian State Park." Such a name would have a true historic basis, character, meaning, local significance and color. "Takelma" is an Indian word meaning "Those living along the river," and thus, as a name for a camping park, would he singularly apt. Too, it is the name of the Indian tribe which once lived along the Rogue between about the Illinois river to Table Rock. IN A MEMORANDUM 1 change which has gon mission, it is stated : "The proposed change in name would be wholly appro priate, would serve to stimulate interest in the area and its historic resources, and, if properly explained by attractive informative signs in or near the park, would constitute an additional tourist attraction . . .

It work ed in 1952 hut it won't work in 1!)M because it has been antici pated and defense against it provided. Your editorial is also inter esting because when you say: It is even widely speculated that the Republican kingpins might just might allow Goldwalcr to take the nomina tion, but only if they were mor ally certain he would be soundly defeated," you tell your readers that they do not select the presi dential candidate. The kingpins do this and they are in perfect agreement with the kmgpms the Democratic party. Actually our country so far has had only two presidents chosen by the people and these were exceptionally happy choic es Washington and Lincoln. In all other elections the king pins made the choice. That is why there was no change in di- ection when Mr. Kennedy be came president. I he kingpins, or our invisible government, pull the punches and Mr. Ken nedy moves even as Mr. Eiscn- nwer moved.

(Name on file) Medford With a Kiss To the Editor: Here is my poem for Mothers. If we parents would take these words to our hearts, I think there would be less delinquency in this world. O, Mothers, so weary and dis couraged Worn out with cares of the day, You often grow cross and im patient, Complain of the noise and the play. For the day brings so many vexations, So many things gone amiss; But, Mothers, whatever may vex you Send your children to bed with a kiss. The dear little feet wander often, Perhaps from the pathway of right, The dear little hands find new mischief To try you from morning to night But think of the desolate mothers, Who'd give the world for your bliss, And as thanks for your infinite blessings, Send your children to bed with a kiss. The silence will vex you lar more, You will long for their sweet childish voices, For the childish face at the door; And to press the child's face to your bosom. You'd give all the world for just this! For the comfort t'will bring vou in sorrow, Send Ihe children to bed with a kiss. Mrs. Jack L. Cox 115 Edwards st.

To the Editor: Trick or Treaty: Once a trap was bailed with a piece of cheese, Which tickled so a liltle mouse il almost made him sneeze; An old ral said, "There's dan ger, he careful where you go. Nonsense," said the other, "I don't think you know." So he walked in boldly, nobody in sight; First he took a nibble, then he look a bite; Close the trap together snapped as quick as wink, Catching m o u s i e fast there cause he didn t think. Once a little turkey, fond of her own way. Wouldn't ask the old ones where to go or stay ; She said, "I'm not a baby, here I am half -grown; Surely I am big enough to run about alone." Off she went, but somebody hid ing saw her pass; Soon like snow her feathers cov ered all the grass. So she made a supper for a sly young mink, 'Cause she was so headstrong that she wouldn't think. Once there was a robin lived outside Ihe door. Who wanted to go inside and hop upon Ihe floor. "No, no." said the mother, "You must slay with me; Little birds are safest sitting in a tree." "I don't care." said Robin, and gave his tail a fling. "I don't think the old folks know quite everything." Down he flew, and Kitty seized nun, uviute u iiinr iu uniiiv "Oh." he cried.

Spain's gradual emergence Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris fci Field Enterprlnei. Inc. STEPMOTHERS An interesting letter arrived in the mail yesterday, signed "Unhappy Stepmother." The lady sorrowfully wants to know why stepmothers have s u c n a bad reputation, in story and legend. "I recently be came the step mother of two young child ren," she dis closes, "and I find that they have all kinds of p r e c on ceptions about a s t e p mother b e ing wicked Brn. and cruel and coldhearted. They have read and heard so much about the 'bad' stepmother in fiction and fairy tale." My own theory on this sub ject may not appeal to a lot of people, but I think thai Ihe "wicked stepmother" fable arose out of children's resent ments against their real moth ers which they were loo ashamed to confess openly. In oilier words, I believe the bad stepmother serves as a substitute for our early feel ings of hostility against our own parents. One of the com monest of childhood fantasies, when we feel our parents have treated us badly, is to pre tend that they are not our real parents at all, but Impostors who kidnapped us when we were in the cradle. Fairy tales of every nation are full of incidents' about young princes and princesses who were stolen from Ihe cas tle as babies, and are sub sequently restored to their rightful places and parents. This fiction fits perfectly in to the childish feeling of "not belonging" to our own fam ily, when our parents seem harsh and unjust toward us. We retaliate, so lo speak, by creating a fictional family for ourselves. By making a bogey mil of (he stepmother, we are able lo discharge our aggressions against our real molliers with out feeling any of Ihe guill that would normally accom pany such an attitude.' There seems no other way to explain the widespread anti pathy to the stepmother who, in reality usually bends over backward to be kind and un derstanding toward the children of her husband. One of the wisdoms of mod ern psychology is the frank rec ognition that we sometimes hate those we love that, in fact, we can truly hate only Ihose who are close to us. Parents who handle their children skillfully make allow ances for these moments of hate, and do not let the children feel guilty for expressing these feel ings. In the past, such expres sions were taboo: and so the myth of the stepmother was created to make il easy and ac ceptable for young people to get rid of "bad" feelings toward Iheir parents. they are ready for our beginner. With all the clerical work and baby sitting chores required of a teacher, she can do little more than Inmo all hor rtaii: Innothor ! and start it down the trail of pre- ! scrioeo loarnins We are hopeful, but not sure, that our child can handle the academic work required. And we do hope that her innate knowl- edge and instincts will not be stifled in the process.

And you can't help but wonder how the home - town press handles this human - interest story. w Magnoliaville, Ala. Oh, 'tis September and for hundreds of excited Magnoliaville kiddies it meant yesterday that the long summer was over and it was time once again to gather for the annual closing of the schools. And what an cxciling day it was in their young lives: two bombings, seven shootings, one lynching and eleven dogbites. "My land," exclaimed Miss Abigail Beauregard, the kindly old first grade teacher at Rob ert E. Lee Elementary, a twin kle in her kindly old eyes. "I never did see such high - spirit ed pupils in all my born days." "Scnooi sure is heaps of fun," said 8-year-old Bobbie E. Lee with a shy grin as he wrapped his little belt more lightly around his liltle fist. "We get to play and we get to learn lost, too." And then he ran happilv off lo join his little classmates in a rousing rendition of the school cheer: "Two, four, six, eight, we don't want to inte grate."

As Spain attempts to change her world image there is a mounting resentment that old Hitler-Mussolini axis ties still are held against her. The official view is thai Spain has proven itself anti-Communist and with United States air and naval bases on her soil has proven her willingness to lake full risks in defense of the West, reason school closing was so exciting this year was that Gov ernor Wallace came all the way up from Montgomery lo closa our schools personally, bringing his own portable schoolhouse door to stand in. And that's a high honor for old Magnolia ville, because it isn'l as (hough the Governor could close every school in Alabama. Not person ally. Unfortunalely, due lo the pies sure of time, the Governor de livered only a very brief speech before hurriedly packing up his door and moving on to neighbor ing Stonewall county. In facl, all he said was: "I defy every body!" But as Magnoliaville Po lice Chief Bull E. Bull comment ed admiringly: "That sure goes the Gettysburg Address one bet ter." While il was a happy, exciting day for the little tykes, it was a busy one for Iheir mothers. Members of the Magnoliavilln Moms club were up at dawn In hold their annual Moms Club Rock Sale. And afterward they all look their places in front of the schools like veterans. "Frying catfish, it sure as shucks was a wonderful day." said Club President Clcmcnline Belle.
