New Program
WASHINGTON (API Rep.
Al Ullman ID-Orol wants Con
gress to set lip a new program lo
help pay ior Columbia Basin rec
lamation projects.
His bill would set up a basin
account of revenues from all fed
eral power dams in the region.
These revenues after the cost o(
the dam has been paid would be
used to delray reclamation costs
in excess of the water users' abil
ity lo pay.
Such a program, he said, would
aid future reclamation develop
ment in the basin area and would
aid existing projects with repay
ment schedules which extend be
yond 50 years. Three such proj

Many Flock
To Sfii Bow!
DUNSMU1R An accurate count
of skiers and olher winter sports
enthusiasts at the Alt. Shasta Ski
Bowl was not available for the
past weekend.
"We had loo many people to
count." was the comment of one
ian member.
Despite the heavy influx If visit
ors, traffic moved smoothly up and
down Evcritt Memorial Highway,
ine last 15 -miles to the bowl. Ar
rangements had been made to
parlc 1,100 cars and no overload
of these facilities was reported.
On Monday morning the bowl
reported 103 inches of snow. Seven
ty inches of this is solid snow
pack with plenty of fluff on top.
Ideal skiing conditions for the first
time this season were reported Sun
day. There were some problems
with fog on Saturday, closing the
litt for a short time for safety
reasons. -
The weather forecast Is good the
first part of the week with no
storm expected before Thursday.
Mid-week skiers should find top
skiing in an uncroweded bowl.
"The bowl can handle thous
ands," Bill diCristina, lodge man
ager snia, "mil about 3 p.m. on
ounnays, ine lodge seems a bit
small." However, measures are
being taken to insure eflicicnt serv
ice. A tour from Sun Francisco and
independent skiers filled all avail
able space in Mount Shasta on
Friday and Saturday nights. Plcnt
ty of accommodations were report
ed at Weed and Dunsniuir. Those
having favorite slopping places are
advised to make weekend reserva
tions or come during the mid
week. The chaiiiift and rope lows will
operate from 10 a.m. till dusk dai
ly. Chains were not required on
Everilt Memorial Highway on
Monday.

Reporting on his country-wide
study of American high schools,
James B. Conant, former presi
dent of Harvard University, today
expresses his conviction that our
system of locally-controlled public
high schools is basically capable
of meeting the educational needs
of the nation s youth.
At the same time Dr. Conant
calls upon school boards, school
staffs, and interested citizens for
renewed efforts to improve the
schools still further and makes
21 specilic recommendations for
strengthening our public high
schools.
The Conant report, released to
Ihe public today under the title
"The American High School To
day," seeing almost certain to
make educational history. Fi
nanced by a grant from the Car
negie Corporation of New York.
Dr. Conanl's study is published in
paperback and hardcover editions
by McGraw-Hill
Center of attention in the Co
nant report is the public "com
prehensive high school so called
because it offers education to all
the youth of the community, of
whatever level of scholastic abil
ity, academic or vocational inter
est, or social or economic back
ground. Dr. Conant finds in such a
school values that lie at the very
heart of American democracy, and
his recommendations seek to pre
serve them.
The distinguished educator and
former United States Ambassador
to the Federal Republic of Ger
many in recent years has' observed
and analyzed European systems of
education at first hand. On the
basis of this experience he strong
ly endorses our American system
of local control of schools by local
school boards. He flatly rejects
Ihe clamor from some quarters
that we should reorganize our
schools along lines followed in Eu
rope, where advanced education
is restricted to an intellectual elite
(usually selected by competitive
examination at age 10 or 11) and
where the entire school system of
country is controlled by the
state or national government
Afler personally visiting schools
in 18 states. Dr. Conant says.
"I can sum up my conclusions in
a few sentences. The number of
small high schools must be drasti
cally reduced through district re
organization. Aside from this im
portant change, I believe.no rad
ical alteration in the basic pattern
of American education is neces
sary in order to improve our pub
lic nigh schools.
"If the more than 50 schools
I have visited, all of which have a
good reputation, are at all repre
sentative of American public high
schools. I think one general criti
cism would be in order: the aca
demically talented student, as a
rule, is not being sufficiently chal
lenged, idoes not work hard
enough, and his or her program
of academic subjects is not of suf
ficient range.
"The able boys too often spe
cialize in mathematics and science
lo the exclusion of foreign lan
guages and lo the neglect of Eng
lish and social studies. The able when they get to college.

girls, on the other hand, too otten
avoid mathematics and science as
well as the foreign languages. A
correction of this situation in
many instances will depend upon
an altered attitude of the com
munity quite as much as upon
action by a school board or the
school administrators."
Dr. Conant's study, which is to
continue for at least another year,
is being administered as a grant
to the Educational Testing Serv
ice, a non-profit organization serv
ing the school and college lield
from its headquarters in Prince
ton, New Jersey.
During the past several months
Dr. Conant has participated in a
number of meetings arranged by
the National Citizens Council for
Better Schools. These have given
him a chance to discuss school
problems in individual states with
educators, public officials and lo
cal residents. His present state
ment, which he labels "a first
report to interested citizens," is
available in a paperback edition
selling for one dollar per copy as
well as hardcover.
As a prelude to his detailed
recommendations, Dr. Conant
notes that all but a few of the
high schools he visited had grad
uating classes of at least 100. This
he regards as a minimum size
for educational and financial ef
ficiency, and he calls for the
elimination of the small h i e h
school, through consolidation and
district reorganization, as a "top
priority" in those states that have
not yet carried out this process
as tar as geography permits
in his spec i lie and numbered
recommendations. Dr. Conant sets
out a program of studies that
would be taken by every student
in nign school, regardless of aca
demic ability. This he considers
a basic education and preparation
tor citizenship that all should
have. The program would take
about half of the classroom time
oi an students, it would cover
four years of English; three or
lour years oi social studies, in
cluding two years of history and
a senior course in American nrob
lems or American government:
one year of mathematics in the
ninth grade and one year of sci
ence. This adds up to nine or 10
courses with homework in four
years.
This basic program would be
supplemented by cither vocational
or academic electives. In the vo
cational fields such programs
might be carpentry or electronics
for boys and secretarial training
or home economics for girls.
These would be primarily for stu
dents who do not intend to pursue
academic subjects beyond the high
school. In addition, says Dr. Con
ant, "all students should be urged
to include art and music in their
elective programs."
For the academically talented
students, estimated on a national
basis at about 15 per cent of the
total, Dr. Conant urges an elec
tion of stiffer programs, especial
ly in languages and mathematics.
In addition to the four years of
English and three years of social
studies required for all .students,
he says "the following program
should be strongly recommended
as a minimum: four years of
matnematics, lour years ot one
foreign language and three years
ot science; a total of 18 courses
with homework. This program
will require at' least 15 hours of
homework each week."
In another and related recom
mendation covering highly gifted
students. Dr. Conant says that
these exceptionally bright students
need still further challenges. Hr
suggests that while they are still
in high school they be allowed tc
take some college-level . course;
for possible advanced standing
After pointing out thai his pri
mary interest in the present re
pprt is in school organization and
curriculum, rather than pedagogic
methods. Dr. Conant says, "1
hardly need to emphasize the im
portance of experimentation and
the desirability of innovation in all
phases of education." As to the
problem of putting some of his
recommendations into effect,
Dr. Conant says that certain
recommendations "can only be ef
fective if a majority ot the teach
ers are convinced of their wisdom."
On the ever-present school prob
lem of how to deal with differences
in learning ability among the stu-i
dents, Dr. Conant recommends
ability grouping in individual sub
jects rather than a general group
ing among all students. He says
certain students may be below av
erage in particular subjects but
may do very well in others. For
very slow readers he recommends
special classes geared to the speed
at which they can move.
By way of maintaining the dem
ocratic values of the public high
school, Dr. Conant recommends a
homeroom that contains a cross
section group of all students,
which would be kept intact
throughout the four years of high
school. He observes that "one of
the highly important objectives of
the comprehensive high school is
the development of a mutual re
spect and understanding among
students with different abilities
and different vocational inter
ests." Two of Dr. Conant's most force
ful recommendations concern the
study of English and foreign lan
guages. He roundly condemns the
existing practice of studying two
or more foreign languages for two
years each in high school and
strongly urges concentrating on
one language, so that the student
in time may acquire some real
grasp of the foreign tongue. In
similar fashion, and with a
similar aim of developing some
actual command of written and
spoken English, Dr. Conant rec
ommends that at least half the
time devoted to English through
out high school be concentrated on
English composition.
The Conant report includes rec
ommendations of such measures
as summer sessions for bright stu
dents as well as for those seek
ing make-up work; an academic
honors list for students making
"B" or better; issuing, along with
the conventional diploma, a dur
able record (perhaps a wallet-
sized card) listing every grade
in every course during the entire
high school attendance: teaching
required science courses at three
levels of difficulty; and several
others. One important suggestion
is offered by Dr. Conant with a
strong sense of urgency the need
for greatly enlarged counseling
and guidance services, throughout
the entire school system.
Of the report as a whole. John
W. Gardner, president of the Car
negie Corporation, says in a forward:
tn the last two years there has
been a clamor of voices telling
us what is wrong with our schools. 1
The distinctive feature of Mr.
Conant's contribution is that he
has come forward with a positive
and constructive approach. He
emphasizes over and over that our
average schools can become good
schools, and our good schools ex
cellent, by a series of steps which
are easily grasped by any in
formed American. It would be dif
ficult to overestimate the impor
tance of such a report at this time.
. . If I had to recommend a
simple piece of reading to all
Americans who want to improve
their schools, I would ask them
to read this report." i

DID
SOMEBODY
MENTION GASOLINE
MILEAGE?
Although we deliberately engineered improved
gas mileage into the '59 puicks, we have not
made much point of it in previous advertising
for THE Car. People's driving habits can get
very dilferent results even from the same car.
So we are now happy to report that our plans
for greater economy of operation have been
very successful indeed ... in everyday owner
experience.
Owners report excellent records
Most owners are naturally proud of their new
cars, and may sometimes overstate a little. But
even allowing for that, listen to these reports
from owners! A Detroit man drove his Electra
9,000 miles around the country, and reports a
little over 19 miles a gallon. A Louisiana
LeSabre, with Twin Turbine Transmission,
after 4,000 miles is giving its owner 17.6 miles
per gallon. A St. Paul man reports 18.1. From
Atlanta comes 17.5. From Pittsfield, Mass., 20.
Some are even higher. Some lower. But these
are typical.
Tests confirm new economy
Recently a very thorough set of tests was run,
putting Buick LeSabre and another car. of com
parable size which is known for good economy,
through identical tests under all sorts of driv
ing conditions. The Buick came out best in
every single test.
How Buick mileage was improved
It took a combination of several steps. New,
more efficient Wildcat engines was one . . .
compression up to 10.5, better carburetion. In
the case of LeSabre there is also a new, twin
barrel economy carburetor as standard equip
ment. All this to get more power out of the
fuel. In addition, new combinations of trans
missions and rear axles put this power to work
more efficiently.
Owners also report QUALITY outstanding
"Best-performing Buick ever!".'. ."My sixth
Buick and the best I ever owned" . . . "Best
operating car I've driven in thirty years" . . ,
"Much the best Buick yet!" . . . Learn for
yourself why this year's Buick owners are so
enthusiastic. Go to your Quality Buick Dealer
