SCHOOLING comes in big doses to students of chemistry teacher Earl Graham, left,
at Henley High School. They're producing oxygen here. Graham is perfect for the job.
He. previously was an industrial chemist. He is indicative of the caliber of local instructors.

so educators in Klamath County,
at least, have compromised.
John Dewey, an educator and
philosopher, early this century
wrote reams of material condemn
uiR formalism in schools.
DEWEY ASKED for relaxed
discipline, "life adjustment"
courses, and a variety of stimu
lating experiences in the school.
He got them, beginning about
l'.WS and thereafter. However, the
pendulum swings in the conserva
tives' direction, lately, particular
ly since the "sputnik" scare, say
school officials.
Frill courses across the countrv
nave Deen trimmed, and more
heavy" courses have been intro
duced,
Schools in Klamath County al
ways have stepped cautiously in
that respect. Thus, they find them
selves with few adjustments to
make in view of recent demands
made of public schools.
Rather, they concentrate on im
proving courses traditionally
taught. Klamath Union High
School this year, for instance, in
troduced a new "three track"
mathematics program expected to
allow superior math students to
progress at top speed and less
apt pupils to get a good math
grounding w ithin capability without
slowing down top students.
Earl Graham, a topnotch teach
er of chemistry and phvsics at
Henley High School, has racked
up a stellar record. Several of his
former students have gone on to
careers in science. One, a stu
dent at the University of Oregon,
recently received a National Sci
ence foundation scholarship for
promising undergraduate science
students.
GRAHAM THIS year is bring
ing three exceptional chemistry
students along in his spare time.
The youngsters as well as their
teacher get no credit for extra
work. They do it purely for self
satisfaction. One is working with
apparatus for bombarding seeds
with electrons to find if such radi-f
ation affects germination. The oth
er two also are working on special
projects.
Henley High School is run in the
best traditional style. Students
come early and leave late. They
take old-fashioned high school
subjects.
Facilities there are adequate but
not ultra-modern. The curriculum
is not cluttered with driver train
ing or problems of social adjust
ment. But Henley High School stu
dents for the past several years
have scored far over the national
academic average as judged by 1
the Iowa Educational Development
achievement test.
Other county and city school;,
also score high on the test.
The answer, says Principal
Ceorge Elliott, is in the teacher,
local schools spend all summer
picking faculty members. They
hire with caution.
