Flexible Scheduling
There is great furor and experimentation in
education these days. 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.

Its name was chosen, almost through default,
for lack of a better one. "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.

To the Editor: Your editorial,
Why Barry Has No Chance,"
is interesting because you use
the technique used in 11152 to
defeat Sen. Robt. Taft: ("I like
Taft but he can't win"). 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. Send $H to Oan

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.

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

First he took a nibble, then he

Close the trap together snapped

Surely I am big enough to run

Off she went, but somebody hid

Soon like snow her feathers cov

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.

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. She knows

Get New Status
And it appears also in a new
so-called Protestant law which
also is expected soon and will
give legal status to Protestant
churches in Spain for the first
time, permitting them to estab
lish schools and hospitals.
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. "Until I run out of spil."
So just about everybody in
Magnoliaville was sorry to see
the first - and-last day of school
come to an end once again. It
just shows how little hoys and
girls everywhere secretly like
school. Why, even little fimmie
Cooper (Colored) seemed sad.
Did even little Timmie (Color
ed) secretly like school?
"Well," replied the little tad
(Colored) with a winsome sigh
as he was led off on charges of
disturbing the peace. "It beats
jail."
