Subject:      Merge program for WP site license

Help! I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to write a merge program to
help our students print labels for our WP site license software.
There are 10 disks per "package". Each disk has a different label.
8 packages share a common license number (80 disks total).
All 8 packages must have a different, sequential copy number. (8
different copy numbers. How do I merge so that each of the 10 labels for
1 "package" prints in sequence, with the correct license number
and copy number?

The label looks like:

WP51: Install/Learn/Utilities 1
Lic. #:                        Copy #:
This disk ...(a disclaimer notice here)

I hope this is clear (If not, I'm sure I'll hear about it.) :-)
Thanks for reading this.

My first thought is to merge the addresses and after
each address do some dinking around with finding the
beginning of the address, saving the horiz. pos, and
doing an advance.  If you need it on screen, it would
be useless, but if printout only is ok and it doesn't
have to be fast, it's probably doable.  There may be
something better with Newspaper columns getting turned
on and off, but I'm not too familiar with them.

The primary, if np columns work, would be something like


[col def]
[LABEL - top] [col on]
field - address[HPG]
[flsh rt] field - phone1
[flsh rt] field - phone2
[col off]
[next record]
[goto top]

As I say, I don't know if this'd work, but you get the idea.

Last week, on two separate occasions, out file server suddenly had zero space
available. The problem was tracked down IN BOTH CASES to a 40meg file called
WP}WP{.BV1
The "owner" of the file was not at the time editing a particularly large file
(only a page or two). Has anyone got any idea why this might have happened.

I may be a little late with my answer, but this is the first chance I've had
to check e-mail since returning from Christmas break.

I would block each figure (graphic) and save it as a separate file. Be sure to
use .WPG extension. You should then be able to retrieve these graphic files in
DrawPerfect and work with them in the normal fashion.

Subject:      Schools: public or private

OK, John. I'll try a comment on the Clintons' choice of a private school for
Chelsea.  It seems to me an example of what Tom Green often reminds me: as a
matter of public policy, we want the best schools possible for all; as parents
we want the best schools possible for our own children.  While I am a little
disappointed that the Clintons did not offer Chelsea as a hostage to the public
schools in Washington, it is not really surprising.  Nor does it suggest (to
me at least) that his commitment to making public education better is insin-
cere.  At the most, what we can conclude is that the Clintons feel that the
public schools are not yet good enough.  The choice suggests that the Clintons
are parents first, public officials second.  Not much cause for surprise there.
Like many others, I had hoped for a different choice, but that could be because
Chelsea is not my child.

I would have to diagree with the assertion that Clinton's private school
choice has nothing to do with his forthcoming policy changes and that we should
just "wait and see".  In fact, I see it as a major factor in those policy
decisions.  Just as you're less careful when spending OTHER people's
money, and just as Congress is more willing to pass various laws (such
as affirmative action and minum wage, for example) AFTER
they exempt themselves from those same laws, Clinton is less
likely to take as much care with Ed policy now that it won't affect his
precious daughter.  Clinton would be more likely, in my opinion, to
pursue idological rather than practical policies because, frankly, what
he does won't directly affect his family.

Just a thought.

Re:  the David and Goliath discussion.  No doubt there are many agendas
involved in the efforts to break up the LA School District.  One which has
not been mentioned, but which is paramount, is the disproportionate power
that LA has over education policy in the state.  LA is the tail that wags
the dog and many people would like to see this changed, district people as
well as policymakers at the statewide level.  Hence, pressures to break up
the district may be seen coming from diverse elements in the state.  I
would imagine that this is an issue for states with extremely large
districts all over the country, but I don't know how that power may be
held in check in other places.  California has not been very successful in
that respect.

Subject:      Education's Great Books

In response to Bob Stonehill's request for reaction
and suggestions for compiling a list of books the
response thus far has focussed on books about how to
teach (am I wrong?).

I'd like to respond more broadly to his specific
questions.

1. "Is this activity worth doing?"
   It might depend upon the scope and process of the
activity.  I did not assume that you only meant "How
to Teach" books.  I also am unsure about the "every
student" qualification.  What if the activity were conceived
in terms of areas of knowledge?  SO, you might generate
lists on moral education; institutional and social
history of education and schooling; philosphy of
education; education psychology; curriculum development;
educational administration; and the like.
  The development of such a group of canons may be worth
doing.  (By the by, "canon," among other things, is defined
as standard of judgment; perhaps more fluid than an immutable
list.)

2. "Are you familiar with such lists..."
   A few years ago the History of Education Society
surveyed its members as to which texts they used in
teaching.  I believe the results showed a few books
used relatively widely, but also a great diversity.
The survey was intended to be descriptive and not
prescriptive.  Though such activities provide a certain
cross-pollinization.

3. "Is it possible to reach agreement on who the
most eminent scholars in a given education field are..."
   Depending on who is asked it is always possible,
but the lists will be quite different. (Paulo Freire
on one list; perhaps Diane Ravitch on another.)
   I would think it more useful to survey the membership
of professional organizations as to what texts they would
suggest as truly outstanding.  True, it would certainly
be faster and easier to contact a limited number of eminent
scholars, but I think it would be difficult if not impossible
to get agreement as to who they might be; and the results
would not be as interesting as a survey of the field.

Does ERIC have the time, inclination, and resources for
conducting such a survey?  If not, then I am not sure if the
project is worth doing.  Of course worth must be measured
against intent.  A lock-step national curriculum in any
education field is unlikely and I think undesirable.
Information about who is using what may be interesting,
provide the basis for cross-pollination, and stimulate
some thoughful discussion affecting judgment.
