POSSIBLY "Anxious Parents"
whose letter you published recent
ly, and others with similar school
problems, would like to know more
about the State Correspondence
school which is maintained by Mon
tana's Department of Public In
struction to provide schooling for
isolated and handicapped young
sters who cannot attend a regular
school.
Although high school students
were first provided for, some grade
school children have studied under
the direction of the correspondence
school each year since 1941. The
total grade school enrolment for
the ensuing period has reached the
surprising total Of 1858 children.
The questions most persons ask
about correspondence study for
grade school children are: % What
children are eligible to take cor
respondence study? (2) How does
one 60 about getting them enrolled?
go What does it cost per child, and
who pays the costs? az Must the
supervisor be a teacher or former
teacher? 60 How much time does
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-07-01

it take to supervise the studies? (6)
How well do children learn, or how
do they get along in school when
they enter later? and CD Can they
transfer from the correspondence
school to a regular school during the
year?
School if Possible
I should like to answer these
questions in order.
l. Every child who can possibly
do so, even at some sacrifice on
the part of himself and of his par
ents, should attend school. There
he can experience the friendships,
the necessity, pleasure and methods
of working with others, the compe-
tition and the normal give-and- take
that working and playing with class
mates provides.
If there is no school within rea-
sonable distance, if arrangements
for attendance away from home
seem inadvisable or if the child
must be kept at home because of
his physical condition, then he is
eligible to take correspondence
study. One parent, whose children
were later enrolled for correspond

Are you an active member
The kind that would be missed,
Or are you just contented
That your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings
And mingle with the flock
Or do you stay at home

Do you take an active part
To help the world along,
Or are you satisfied to
Be the kind that just belong?

ence study, drove 81 miles day in
order to keep the children in school,
but found the task too great.
In another instance, a primary
child lived 10 miles from the bus
line and would have had a 25-nile
ride to school after boarding the
bus. If a school is only three to
five miles distant, most parents can,
and wish to, have the children in a
regular school.
2. Enrollments are made through
the county superintendent of schools
if the child lives in rural district,
or through the city superintendent
if in a city district. No enrollments
are accepted unless they are recon-
mended by one Of these school
officials.
Possible Cost
8. The enrolment fee is $25 per
semester for each child or $50 for
the school year of two semesters.
Because several primers and read
ers are used in the first two grades,
books for these two grades cost
around $40 per year. For the other
grades, the cost is from $12 to SIS
for either the year or semester.

An Editorial
The Privilege
OF Franchise

FOR 80 YEARS women of the
United States have had the right
Of suffrage. It was considered
great step forward, but with the
indifference on the part of so many
women today, one wonders if they
really appreciate the significance
of this right.
Vote comes from the Latin word
meaning VOW, wish, desire. The
old English meaning was a vow,
also an ardent wish or prayer. The
present definition is a formal ex-
preston of will or choice in some
matter.
State, national and world prob
lens are so numerous, SO complex
and so confusing that the average
woman frequently wonders what
can do?" And the more she rea-
Lies the need of correct action the
more hopeless she feels.
'What can she dor" She can take
time to cast a thoughtful ballot at
every opportunity even if it seems
an unimportant local election. Thus
she has exercised her privilege and
her right.
Can you sing the last verse of .'The
Star-Spangled Banner?" Or do you
just humble it as most folks do?
"Oh, thus be it ever when freemen
shall stand
Between their loved home and the
wars desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the
heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and
preserved us a nationl
Then conquer we must, when our
cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our
Trust
And the Star-Spangled Banner in
triumph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave"
It is this last stanza which ex-
presses our national ideals, ow
motto, our international policy, ou
relations with God and a pledge o
allegiance to our flag. - ANY
