GIFT FROM IRELAND Dublin (UPI) Irish President Eamon de Valera wiil present two young deer to Caroline Ken nedy and a jumping pony to her brother, John, it was announced Tuesday. EUGENE -Freeing chil dren's minds to seek for truth" should be the most important function of the public schools in preparing students "to face the future in a changing soci ety," according to Dr. Grace Graham, professor of education at the University of Oregon. Dr. Graham's opinion is con tained in her new book, "The Public School in the American Community," recently publish ed by Harper St Row, New York. Teachers should be particu larly aware of this function in an age when many competing special-interest groups are at tempting to influence the schools' curriculums and to bring pressure in other ways on the public school systems. Dr. Graham wrote. These attempts to introduce special ideologies into schools is a relatively new phenome non, and may take the form of providing free booklets and oth er "educational aids" to schools, subsidizing the writers of text books, offering prizes to win ners of essay and other con tests, infiltrating the school Grange News Upper Applegate Grange First meeting in September of the Upper Applegate Grange was called to order by Master Ed Ramsey. Roscoe Roberts, state overseer and county deputy, was escorted to the master's station. The youth committee asked for volunteers to help them in their project of cutting, stacking and delivering a winter's supply of wood for a local family. Edu cation chairman talked on new instructors at Southern Oregon college offering good education methods. There will be new square dance class organized in the near future. The Grange ex pressed its thanks to members who installed the new floor. It was announced that two chartered buses will leave Med ford Nov. 16 at 5 a.m. for Port land, where National Grange will be in session. The buses will return the same day. Upper Applegate Grange will have Booster Night Nov. 9. For the lecture hour, there was comment by each member about their school days, and any happening that they remember most vividly.

All Sides Heard Pointing out that not all pressure-group influence is bad and that all sides of a question should be heard, Dr. Graham emphasized Uiat teachers should educate themselves to recognize propaganda when they see it and teach their students to rec ognize it. That teachers are not aware of propaganda content is dem onstrated by a recent study con ducted elsewhere and cited by Dr. Graham. In the study, less than a third of primary and secondary teach ers found propaganda content in a selection of "give-away" pam phlets, while up to 100 per cent of a panel of experts felt that the purpose of the phamphlets was propaganda. Dr. Graham emphasized that the schools "have no real quar rel" with special-interest groups unless they use methods that im pede freedom of thought, disre gard the rights of unorganized or less well-organized groups, take uncompromising, extremist stands that make conciliation on school policies impossible, or di vert tnn mtirh school time from j more important school business. j Fail To Distinguish ' Teachers should guard against i becoming so committed to one i point of view that they fail to I distinguish opinion from fact, I Dr Graham warned. "If freedom of thought is to be preserved as the highest ideal in American education, educa tors must become critical of ! their own values," she wrote. I "But teachers should not try l to conceal their values, for thev have the right to express opin ions. Teaching without interpre tation is sterile, but teaching without a distinction between fact and opinion is dishonest and inimical to freedom of thought," she said. ANNOUNCEMENT!
