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

their program. 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.

PEINE, Germany (UPI) -Forty-nine

iron mine near here and may
be dead, police said today.
The slide sealed the miners
inside the Theilseder Iron Mine,
six miles south of this north
German town.
A rescue effort was under
way.

Trivial Requests
To Embassies Said
Cause of Burdens
By JOHN A. 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. "One little bit of
carelessness like saying 'we
want a report' and hundreds of

man-hours are consumed in re
sponding." 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. Carbon and George Miglins,
both 21. They were turned in
by a woman who had paid
$30 reward for the return of her
French poodle, "Fifi."

Help in Mississippi
Integration Crisis
By AL KL'ETTNER
United Press International
The Rev. 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.

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

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."

Coffin, now in his sixth year

if he encountered rebukes or
criticism from university offi

"Of course not," he replied.
"This is an area of academic
freedom. It is recognized (at
Yale) that it is no less than
the freedom granted by the
