Accuracy Of News

Accuracy of news and its source long has been
bugaboo to editors, whose hair has become pre-
maturely gray or who, in their wildness mac
curacies and errors, have bodily lifted their hirsute
pate covering by it's roots
Crashing of teeth and more than mild profanity
would result were it possible for city editors to
know the actual unvarnished truth of Gopher
Praries' school strike which died abornin'.
When there is dearth of news, newspaper men
usually told to make their news-and pos
sibly someone who had working acquaintance with
printshop parlance took that statement serious. At
least it is generally known that outside the
school attempted to start universal strike in the
Senior High School, and only for the fact that uni
versal news service notified long before the
strike became reality did school authorities learn
of planned student walkout. Students were then
advised not to leave the school, and only handful
of boys were coaxed to stage demonstration-pre-
pared primarily for the purpose of unfavorable pub
licty.
All major events which transpire in Sank Centre
are of more than usual Importance for it is the
birthplace of Sinclair Lewis. Those who report
from Sank Centre to the dailies should check their
stories closely and deal in facts and facts only
The reading public grossly misinformed as to
the actual happenings in Sank Centre, and Mark
Twain stated, when he read Of his demise, the facts
have been greatly exaggerated.

ternoon Rockville filled tough

heads. Arvig and Dubois led the
local scoring with 8 and 7 points
respectively, while O'Gara had an
off night without scoring. Pro-

perately in the final half. Warding
off a last half rally Of the Main
Streeters. it was only with difficult
ty that Belgrade was able to eek
out a one-point marginal victory.

OTHER PEOPLES OPINION

March 18th, 81
To the Sank Centre Board of Edu-
cation:
Where do we go from here? The
voters of the School District on
Saturday repudiated your Program
to wreck the Senior High Building
and launch the S165,OO0 Bond Is
sue. You have insisted, however
that something must be done about
the school Immediately. The Sank
Centre School District Taxpayers
Association promised before the
election to back you in any reason
able plan to give our boys and girls
a suitable education. We stand on
that today.
But we are sadly lacking in in
formation about such plans as you
may have. Certainly the Pamphlet
issued by you before the election
was of little help. 1t was painfully
devoid of any definite set-up as
to what our needs really are, what
our anticipated needs are and how
far the present Senior High could
be made to fit into the picture.
The Pamphlet contained no SEM
blance of pattern. It was simply
bundle of patches for a quilt with
no definite pattern for the quilt.
Gentlemen, the public school is
owned and operated by the public.
You as the Board Of Education are
but the Manager. Would it be ask
ing too much of the Manager to
give to the owners complete, true,
and definite report of the actual
condition of the property, it's needs,
plans for the future, costs, etc. We
think not. If the public Is to know
more about it's own property and
affairs why not publish for our con-
sideration and knowledge the In
spector's Report on our schools Is
sued annually. Perhaps, too, the
public might have better working
knowledge of our schools If there
were published for it's scrutiny
each year a report of how, for in.
stance, $4,000 Of public money Is
spent each year. The public has
a little way all its own of being in
terested in how its money Is spent.
The voter is a stakeholder, in the
corporation.
An attitude of aloofness towards
the public,-a sort Of closed-cor-
poration attitude-on the part Of
you gentlemen Of the Board Of
Education is not conducive to the
smooth working of the machinery
of a school system. 1t begets
cross-currents that are harmful to
our school and our community.
An example Of this is the propa-
ganda permitted to be circulated,
-or not stopped at once by you
at it's source-concerning fire
hazards, condition which you
have permitted for "a years and
which you accumulated by convert
ing the school basement into a
garage for school buses.
What we need for our schools is
not hard-headedness, stubbornness
bitterness. We need cooperation
cooperation between the Board OF
Education and the public. But the
public pays the bills and the pub.
lie asks to be consulted. Let the
Board Of Education consult with
