Private Schools Have Important Place in Education By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Private schools have an im portant place in the American educational picture, iney vary in purpose and approach rang ing from the non - profit reli gious school to the profit mak ing secretarial school. Why do private schools flour ish when a free education is available through high school schools. Parochial schools combine the normal educational pro cram with religious instruction. Parents have sent their chil dren to these schools for many years. The tuition costs are on a non - profit basis. These schools probably account for the largest number of private school students through the high school level. Problem Students At the elementary level, there are a variety of private schools which specialize in working with students who have prob lems. These schools might con centrate on physical, emotional or educational difficulties. They may be organized on either a profit or non-profit basis. In ei ther case they usually charge a tuition fee. There are similar schools at the secondary level. At this le vel there are also schools spe cializing in vocational training such as mechanics, business, dramatics, etc. There are scnools which of fer adults an opportunity to ob tain high school diplomas. Through "Y"s, churches, syna gogues, clubs, etc. many types of courses are offered. These vary from recreational topics such as art and bridge to auto repairing and bookkeeping. At the college level, the pri vate institutions are most im portant. The majority of well known universities and colleges are private non-profit organiza tions. Private schools at all levels arc certainly necessary. They serve to satisfy the special need of many individuals. In addition there are the private schools which cater to the indi viduals who wish to pay for the privilege of small classes and special attention. This includes the boarding as well as the military school. The quality of private schools varies as do public schools. If you feel the need to send your child to a private school, inves tigate very carefully before making a choice. Evaluate Public Schools Your first step should be to evaluate the local public schools. Find out what special services they offer to satisfy your needs. You will then have some standard with which to compare the private school. Check to see if the school is licensed by the state Depart ment of Education. Look into I A great buy!

See if it is de signed to meet your special needs. A carefully planned cur riculum is important. You might discuss it with the local doctor, and your clergyman. Evaluate the facilities and staff of the school. Small clas ses are always advantageous. A library, reference books, spe cial equipment, and proper safety and health facilities are needed. The staff should be properly trained, experienced and licensed. Look at all aspects of the pri vate school in relation to the public schools. Compare the of ferings. Make sure to evaluate and balance the total picture before making your choice. The choice is a personal one but should be made with extreme caution. 'Rainmaker' Brings Sprinkle MARSHALL, N. C. (UPI) The bearded "Lapland Rain maker," encouraged by his sprinkling success here, today headed deeper into the drought plagued South. The rainmaker packed his gear into his horse-drawn cov ered wagon Thursday and said ne probably would go to Ten nessee. He expressed disap pointment his efforts produced nothing more than a sprinkle on this parched Blue Ridge Moun tain town. The rainmaker, who refused to give his name, went through one ritual designed to bring on rain a week ago Thursday night. A few drops pelted the town Sunday night. Then the rainmaker brought more pow erful equipment heavier dos es of gunpowder, bigger rock ets and flaming torches into play Monday night. His last efforts didn't even bring a sprinkle but a local ra dio station paid him $50 for the few drops that fell earlier. 49 Trapped in German Iron Mine by Slide PEINE, Germany (UPI) -Forty-nine miners are trapped by a mudslide and flood in an iron mine near here and may be dead, police said today.

GOLDSMITH WASHINGTON (UPI) Am bassador David K. E. Bruce be lieves U. S. embassies abroad are burdened with requests for trivial information, and recalls a "silly" survey he once made on the Italian corset market. In testimony recently releas ed, the U. S. ambassador to Britain told a Senate subcom mittee that "the essential has got to be separated from the non-essential" in govern m e n t agency requests to diplomatic missions abroad. Bruce testified last month be fore a subcommittee headed by Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D Wash., that has been studying the staffing of the government's security posts. The ambassador argued that "reports should not be asked for on things which substantively have little importance." "When I first arrived as a vice consul in Rome many years ago, I remember getting the job of handling a request from the department of com merce to make a comprehen sive survey of the market for corsets in Italy," Bruce said. Addressed To All "The market for corsets in those days was practically non existent. They had contraptions of their own which seemed to meet everyone's needs. But that particular request was address ed to every American diplomatic and consular post around the world. "How many men like myself sat down and wrote silly re ports on the demand for Amer ican corsets, I dread to think," Bruce said.

The old corset incident was a lively feature of the ambassa- aor s comments on U. S. rep resentation overseas. A man of means who has represented the United States in Berlin, Paris and now in London, Bruce stressed the old problem of U.S. diplomats, that expenses at top posts are beyond the means of most career foreign service officers. Not the amount of trifling, but to have it known that the American gov ernment docs not make it pos sible for a career officer, unless he has outside resources, to be ambassador to Great Britain, I trunk is almost a national shame," Bruce said. V. S. Fortunate The United States has been fortunate, he said, in the ap pointment of some non-career ambassadors. He indicated, how ever, that not all such political appointments have proved for tunate. Bruce also said that: "The clutter of speeches which are made by all sorts of representatives of different agencies of our government wnetner at nome or abroad, is sometimes extremely disrup tive. "I don't know what goes on behind the scenes here at home in Washington. But I do know from experience the enormous difficulty of getting an estab lished policy position which you can then represent as such to a foreign government. While reporting is still an important diplomatic function "I must say that particularly in some of the larger capitals where some of our own news papers have allowed their cor respondents to remain for years, they are better informed on general conditions in the coun try than any embassy officer could be who is there on a tem porary basis." Albany City Council Hires New Fire Chief ALBANY (UPI) - The City Council has hired Edward L. ; Boatright, former deputy fire chief in Portland, to replace Don Hayne as fire chief here. The council offered Hayne the position of fire marshal. He has not yet indicated whether he will accept. DOGNAPPERS NABBED LOS ANGELES (UPI) -Two Los Angeles men today faced charges of "dognapping." They are accused of taking dogs from parked cars, then returning the animals to collect reward mon ey. Booked on suspicion of grand tnett merchandise were Patrick F.

William Sloane Cof fin, Jr., never made it to Mis sissippi, but he says his heart there these days with a group of students from Yale University. Coffin, who is chaplain at Yale, sent the students off to the Southland with his blessings to help out in the integration campaign. So far, two have been arrested in Indianola, a town of 4,900 population near Greenville. Refused To Move Coffin set out for Jackson, Miss., in 1961 with the "free dom riders", a group which de cided to emphasize the segre gated practices at bus station waiting rooms in Dixie. The move led to some of the worst violence to emerge from the in tegration struggle. Coffin got as tar as Mont gomery, Ala., wnere ne sai down in the bus station eating place with Negroes who also were on the trip. The white chaplain refused to move and was arrested on cnarges 01 breach of the peace. Now he has turned his atten tion once more to Mississippi, but from a distance. He says this is sometimes "frustrating" to him. Project involves voter regis tration and centers around the campaign of a Negro; Aaron Henry, a Clarkdale druggist and "candidate" for governor. In Mississippi, there is no provision for a write in candi date except in cases where a bona fide candidate dies before election day. Henry is not on the ballot but he is asking his supporters to write in his name anyway. A Yale Law School graduate, Allen K. Lowenstein of New York, who has spent a month in Mississippi, suggested that some of old Eli's undergrad uates take time off and come South to help out on the Henry election campaign. Parks-Recreation Officers Elected PORTLAND (UPD-The Ore gon Park and Recreation Socie ty opened its annual two-day conference Thursday with eleva tion of Paul Beistel of Eugene to the presidency. Beistel is superintendent of the Lane County Park Depart ment. He succeeds Howard Terpenning, superintendent of Tualatin Hills Park and Recrea tion District. Bob Arntz, Springfield, super intendent of Willamalane Park and Recreation District, was named president-elect. Gary Woodring, Klamath Falls parks and recreation superintendent, was elected secretary-treasurer. Named to the board of directors were Robert Bonney, Portland, superintendent of Multnomah County's department of parks and memorials, and Edward Erickson, Portland, ad ministrative assistant in the city's bureau of parks and rec reation. The society voted to hold its 1964 meeting in Eugene in con junction with the convention of the League of Oregon Cities. Contract Awarded For Oil for County The Jackson County Court has awarded a year's contract to Naumes Equipment Company, Medford, and to Western Oil Company, Medford, to supply the county with fuel oil. Naumes was low bidder at .1171 a gallon for PS 200 and Western was low bidder at .095 a gallon for PS 300. There were five other bidders for the PS 200 contract and one other bidder on the PS 300. Menace ' OREGON Coffin told United Press In ternational that response to the appeal has been "excellent" and that about 40 Yale stu dents, white and Negro, are on J director of the Oregon Depart "standby" for trips to Missis-. ment of Planning and Dcvelop sippi. He said they pay their ment, told the Oregon Bankers own expenses or "we pass the Association Thursday, hat" to finance the trips from "We do not subsidize new in New Haven, Conn., home of ! dustrv and we are nnt snnkinu the university. "The first group is down there now getting things organ ized," Coffin said. "Others are on standby waiting to leave. They will have to go in shifts because none can afford to be away from classes for more than four or five days." Encourage Good Students Coffin said that only students with good grades are encour aged to indulge in the activity because "we would be criticized if anyone in academic difficul ty got involved." He said the nucleus of the Yale volunteers came from staff members of the Yale Daily News "instead of just reporting history being made, they are becoming part of his tory being made."

Some Industry Lost Mallicoat admitted the state's attitude has cost it some in dustry. "Two months ago a company seeking a location for a new plant. . .communicated with a dozen or so Oregon communi ties," he revealed. "The terms wre simple: Free land, four per cent financing of a new plant over 10 years and a vir tual guarantee of cheap labor. "The plant did not land in Oregon."
