fine PROGRAM
PRESENTED AT
CENTER MEETING

East Side-Sunset farm center held
an enthusiastic meeting Thursday
night with H. c. Ferguson, chair
man. in charge of the program.
Music by the Holtville high school
orchestra with c. P. Crankshaw di-
recting proved very popular as did
also several groups of songs by two
of the Holtville boys.
Earl v. c. Northrup gave a lively
talk on butter and butter substi-
tutes, urging larger consumption OF
the former and complete discarding
of the latter.
S. B. Foulds, farm bureau secre-
tary, explained the policy and pur-
pose OF the committee of five who
will act on the appraisal board OF
the Imperial Irrigation district.
OF great interest was the talk
given by Frank Beyschlag, county
farm advisor, on the salt problem in
Imperial Valley. His remarks were
based on a recent study made by
G. E. Schofield and his associates in
the office of the western irrigation
department of the u. S. d. A. in CO.
operation with the Imperial Irri-
cation district.
Salt in the valley water will al
ways be a problem, according to this
study, but the most destructive Of
these salts, the chlorides, are leech-
ing out of the valley faster than
they are washing in.
Careful measurements were made
from water samples flowing into the
valley and from those flowing out
at weekly intervals over long pc
riod and the findings were encour-
aging to valley farmers, rather than
otherwise.
Heavier soils may suffer perma-
nently from salt deposits, according
to the speaker, but from the me-
dium and lighter soils copious irri-
cation will wash them away.
Movies, music dancing and re-
freshments concluded the evening S
! entertainment.

Elimination of Graded
School System Is Urged
Stetson Would Reorganize
Classes Into Only
Three Divisions.

Elimination Of grade distinctions
in school grades, on through the
ninth, is advocated by Paul G.
Stetson, school superintendent.
His views on a suggested reorgan-
ization of classification of school
pupils appears in the May issue Of
The American School Board
journal"
"One step in such reorganiza-
ton would be to eliminate all grade
distinctions in grades one through
nine and to recast these years into
three divisions, the primary, the
intermediate and the junior high
school," Stetson says. Entrance in
to the primary group would depend
on the pupils maturity.
Reorganize Subject Matter
Entrance into the intermediate
group would occur at any time dur
ing the school year whenever. in the
combined judgments of the teachers,
the pupil had matured sufficiently
The same procedure would be fol-
lowed when admission to the Junior
high school was indicated.
Subject matter would be so or
ganized to meet the needs Of the
Individual pupil. Absence of formal
class Rotations would make pos
sible the fitting of subjects to the
needs of the pupil.
Students of education long have
realized that methods of teaching
and promotion now in use are
faulty. Psychologists have called
attention to the wide differences
among children of the same age.
Present System Faulty
Stetson believes that thorough
overhauling of the present educa-
tional machinery is indicated as the
only permanent solution.
Objections which Stetson points
out would be raised would center
chiefly about the difficulty of COM
batting tradition on the part of adj
ministrators, teachers and parents.
It might be hard to find teachers
who could adjust themselves to the
new methods.
Finally, materials Of instruction
would have to be recast in terms of
pupil progress rather than in terms
Of grade progress.
