School Official
Talks at
Association Meet

Dr. Charles Dean, assistant
superintendent of schools in
Billings, was the speaker of the
evening at the regular meeting
of the Hardin Parent-Teachers
association in the grade school
gymnasium last Wednesday eve
ming.
The program also included
music under the direction of
Miss Ethel Schuster and a dis
cuSSion of the proposed new
school building.
DR.. Dean was introduced by
David Hill, principal of the
Hardin grade school. He OUT
lined the reading program as it
is being carried out in the Bill
ingS schools at present.
Dr.. Dean emphasized that
reading is basic to all other
learning. He said that one of
the difficulties that faces first
grade teachers is the difference
in the capacity of children to
learn when they start school.
He pointed out that there is a
12-monthS spread in age. Some
children, he added, are ready
to learn to read much earlier
than others. Their maturity and
home background are factors.
For some children, a first
grade reading-readiness period
of only four to six weeks is
needed, DR.. Dean stated. 9th
ers need eight to twelve weeks
and still. others require ~ to-
"a weeks before starting to
learn to read. It is important
that the child be able to sue
coed in reading when he starts,
the educator pointed out.
DR.. Dean said that the idea
of letting each child advance
as rapidly in reading as ne
could was not new. It was used
years ago in rural schools and
many good teachers in city
schools have also practiced it.
In the Billings schools, boys
and girls are advanced from
one room to another with the
other children of their own
social and physical maturity,

Lions Hear Talk
On mitigation
AT Monday Meeting

a talk on irrigation by War
rem Alfred, manager of the ir-
rigation division of the Crow
Indian agency, was a feature
of the program of Hardin Lions
club last Monday evening.
Alfred gave a history of the
reservations irrigation project,
stating that activities began in
1885 with the Reno canal be-
ing completed that year, but
most of the work on the pro-
ject was completed in 1914. "A
large part Of the construction
cost of two million dollars was
financed with tribal funds, he
said.
approximately $4,000 acres
are ultimately irrigable under
the project, the manager said,
with $4,000 now under con-
structed works. Approximately
10000 acres were assessed in
1850.
Crop value produced on the
project in 1890 was $371,9 $40; in
1910, $810,425, and in 1850, ST.
687 ,230, the speaker said. AS
sesSment rates in 1880 were Csc
per acre, as compared with So
in 1850. In both cases the high
er figure in 1850 was partly due
to inflated prices, Alfred said.
At a cost of 1927, 0G0, Willow
Creek dam was constructed sew
eral years ago as a water stor-
age supply for the project and.
some water is being used from
the reservoir.
He added that the condition
of the irrigation system is not
too good at the present time,
due to lack of repairs and re-
placements, but a long-range
program for improvement is
being initiated.
JenS Kalberg, program chair
man, was in charge of program
arrangements. Mike Kuchera,
president, presided at the meet
ing.
During the business meeting,
nine new members were accept
ed into membership with q.
William Jones giving the initia-
ton ceremony. The new mem
bers are Frank Mario Solazzi,
DR.. T. l.. Kits, Joe Zeiler, Dan
Zeiler, Myron B. Pence, Charles

Herdman 10 Head
Bureau Party
Study

Robert F. Herdman of Har-
din, an engineer with 20 years
service with the Bureau of Rec
lamation, is scheduled to leave
soon for Lebanon where he will
again head a party of Bureau
engineers and specialists en-
gagged in a study of potential
water-reSource developments in
the 1000 square-mile nation
north of Palestine on the east
ern edge of the Mediterranean
Sea. Herdman will be accom-
panied by his wife.
herdman headed the first
foreign survey of potential wat
er-reSource developments, re-
queSted by a foreign nation,
that was turned over in its en-
tirety to the Bureau of Recla-
nation. This assignment took
Herdman to Korea early in 1850.
Because of war in Korea, the
study was halted. In the early
Spring of 1851, Hsrdman was
again given a special leave of
absence from his regular duties
as construction engineer for the
Bureaus Yellowtail unit and
was placed in charge of a re-
cOnnaiSSance survey of the pO-
tentials for water-reSource de-
velopment in Lebanon. The
party returned to the United
States last summer and COM
piled a report of their findings.
After reviewing the report, the
Lebanon government requested
that the Bureau engineers re-
turn for more detailed studies.
1t is expected that this second
assignment to Lebanon, which
like the first assignment is un-
der the auspices of the Tech
nical Cooperation AdminiStra-
ton of the State department,
will take about a year.
Herdman said that the 81
man mission, which will head
quarter in Beirut, the capitol
of Lebanon, will make the final
reconstruction studies of the
possibilities of the conservation
and control of water resources
for use in the irrigation of land
and the generation of hydro
electric power.
Other features to be consid-
cred in the studies will include
drainage, domestic water sup
plies, and economic factors. He
explained that the Litani riv-
er, on its way to the Mediter-
ranean sea, flows through a fer
tile valley known as The Bekaa.
Most of the country's annual
rainfall varying from 20 to go
inches falls during the winter
and spring months, much of it
rushing to the sea unused. The
Reclamation mission will plan
a program whereby this wasted
water can be conserved in Stor-
age dams and put to benefic-
ial use. Herdman'S first study
in Lebanon revealed that pow
er produced at proposed dams
