Ten other prisoners are ached tiled to enter pleas al noon Mon day, The grand jury returned open Indictments against 22 persons Kditor's Note The following ar tide was written by the Rev. Wil bur Brumbaugh, pastor of the Community Church of the Brelh ren. and secretary of the Mini.-teri al Association on one phase of American Education Week. There are really four main class rooms for every child the home, the church, the school, and life it- clf. These four should teach a hild to "number his days to gain i heart of wisdom." In a way. lite is one adventurous . lab school in which the parent, teach er, and pastor guide and observe. Perhaps you remember the "one- room schoolhouse: ur oo you recall how a high school diploma was all that was necessary for a leather's certificate, and how an elementary education was consid ered sufficient? Or when a high school diploma was considered an honor and a college degree only for the brilliant? We'll never see those days again! And surely we should not wish to! Of course, farther back, educa tion was a privale matter. And If grandmother hadn't taught mother athcr well, the depth of learning could become ratner snaiiow: unc lung that could be said for home education was its cmpnasis upon moral values. This is no! to say hat public schools are vague on moral issues. No! indeed: We have grown to trust the pub ic school teacher m.'.s neary tne urn total of our children's ed'.ica- ion. iou see vvny i! is irrr-ortan'. train and hire teachers wi:h not oniy hi;h academic s:ar.riards. but with moral stamina as well We may never wish for all cdu cation to fall back into ihe home a:ain. but certainly we do not wih to exclude it from ihere. Par-em.-: have the responsibility to help with their children by encouraging Hum in honest endeavor and by answering wisely and truthfully ev ery question. And beyond that, since we let Ihe school virtually educate the child, we ought to be very interested in what kind of school they attend. Aren't we paying for it I perhaps not enough i? Aren't we the bene ficiaries of it? You may remember when churches were one-room enter prises also. Then teachers were Ohio is only those who. under duress, I meaning would take the job, who would stand before a bored group of "pupils" and expound upon pious platitudes about heaven. Those days are almost gone, too, thank goodness! Life in days as these, as well as in days of every age, demands more than "happy thoughts." It seeks a working faith which will be relevant to the living of the complex life the 20th century forces it to live. It seeks a faith which does not conflict with sci entitle fact, but gives Knowledge eternal meaning. More and more, churches are establishing Christian .Education programs which truly deserve the description "education." Many churches are hiring directors of Christian Education, and seminar ies cannot supply the needed per sonnel. As (ar as a child's education is concerned, this trite phrase has never had greater relevance: "There's no time like the present." While we consider whether we will vote (or a bond issue, whether we will support our church schools, or whether we will take an active interest in our community, our children arc becoming products o( institutions as they are, not as we someday wish them to be! In this American Education Week, why not stop to think of what ciluea tion dues mean to your child? And alter we are convinced o( its importance, what we must do will become unmistakenly clear!

This is the first in a series of articles which will cover the education field during this special week By NOIt.M CARDOZA The nation's most encompassing least offensive, perhaps also least understood experiment in socialism gets public scrutiny for a week beginning today. It will be the 38th such Ameri can Education Week since the pub lie learned during the first world war that a whopping percentage of Americans were illiterate and physically unfit. Broadly, the week's purpose is to bring home to the individual the role education serves in strengthening democracy. Its speci- ic goals are to explain the modern school, including curricula, current teaching methods and materials used: to uncover school problems and needs, and to strengthen co operation between schools and their communities. The concept of "free" public ed ucation goes back to the Thomas Jefferson era and before. Jeffer son, in particular, was outspoken in his belief that democracy's sur- lval depends on an informed pub Bridge Club Winners Told Eleven and one-half tables of Mitchell movement were at pla at Thursday evening's sessions of Lakeshore Duplicate Bridge Club North-south winners were Mrs H. O. Juckeland and Mrs. Bob Thompson, first; Mrs. Lena Smith and Mrs. William Grove, second. and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rickey, third. East-west winners were Mrs. C. E. Sharp and George McClary. first; Mrs. G. H. Merryman and Mrs. Edna Bartholomew, second, and, tied for third place were Mrs. Marcella Raymond and Mrs. Ches ter Stonecypher Sr., and Mrs. D. R. Vandenberg and Mrs. Lloyd Drew. The monthly master point game will be held next Thursday, No- ember 12, starting at 7:15 p.m. The next meeting of the Tuesday Duplicate Club will be on Novem ber 17, starting at 10:30 a.m. lie. Before him, to said George Washington, The roots of compulsory educa tion in America went back deeply into the nation's history before Jefferson's lime the Massachu setts Colony enacted the famous iaw of 1M2 ordering that all young stcrs learn to read. The law was the first among English-speaking peoples. Other systems followed or pre ceded some enforced by legisla tion, others by decree of church leaders. But thorough, socialized schooling failed to develop until 1850 and after. Its progress, of course, continues. Many problems have been over come. Teachers were few. Thev were underpaid. No formal train ing for teachers existed. M any lacked education themselves. Schools were poorly built and poor ly equipped. Theories of the learn ing process were inadequate. . . . Early school history was colorful. Approaches to teaching have un dergone some major convulsions. Early-day learning was picked up by rote. Pupils memorized and drilled monotonously the "Three Rs." But long before that system was largely abandoned, educational the orists were stirring. Jean - Jacques Rousseau, Frenchman, in 17fi2 plunked for less formalism, development of personality, freedom of action rath er than inhibition of the child, and expression. He believed schools should be tailored to the child rath er than the opposite. The Swiss, Johann Heinrich Pes- talozzi, advocated "rich sensory background," believing children hould be exposed to learning situ ations first hand through field trips, use of instructional devices, direct contact. Their work was refined by oth ers and gradually was accepted by schools to include character devel opment through broadened curricu lum and better teaching methods. With science and industry ma turing early this century, the home and church losing prestige as edu cators, public education flourished. School attendance burst like a sunflower. Schools became one of the nation's big businesses. The sudden breakthrough set the scene for a controversial theorist John Dewey. His new concepts of "progres sive education" won him a dual post as high priest of liberal edu cation philosophy in the country, and at the same time as whipping boy of conservative opinion. The battle rages today. In practice, his theories, perhaps refined, perhaps polluted, have en trenched themselves firmly in the nation's school system, for the most part since 1935. Essentially, Dewey asked, "Should not children learn through informal experience, developing discipline, initiative, responsibility and basic knowledge through en couragement, with teachers serv ing primarily as guides rather than disciplinarians'.'" His opposition inquires, "Should not youngsters learn through sys tematic training, heavy on basic subjects, and should they not be disciplined taught informally only incidentally? School officials, at least in Klam ath County, believe they've struck a pleasing compromise. Thus will begin a series of Her ald and News articles the first due tomorrow skimming is con cisely as possible over education in the county. Tomorrow's subject: primary ed ucation in Klamath County.
