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!

National Education Week To Be Noted In America
Editor's Note November S-I4 is
National Education Week. 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

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.
