The American Colonists had
nothing. No army with expert

Men had to furnish their own
rifles, and never did quite learn
how 10 march well. They had to
make their own bullets at home.
They had practically no develop
ed resources. The population was
scattered .thinly across the vast
wilderness with New York, the
biggest city, having only 10000
population. Not until the sur
render of CORVALLIS at York
town, the end of the war, did
George Washington gain undis-
puted command over our army.
The incredible feat of winning
the war has long since been
credited to the clear and endur-

certain unalienable rights; that
among these are life liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness; that,
to secure these rights, govern
ments are instituted among men,

This concept, indelibly writ

The winning of the war for such

OUR HISTORY
I'm review
BY
ELLIS MURREY
EAnIX DhRVI nNIA
EARLY BABYLONIA
$500 Il. c. to 1850 B. c.
SumerianS & Accadians, the
Gmti invasion and Hammur-
abi'S first dynasty of Babylon

Guti invasion and Hammur-
abi'S first dynasty of Babylon
A tribe by the name Of Guti
invaded the Sumerians and Ac-
cadianS and plundered the whole
Tigris and Euphrates Valley
from end to end. Slaughter of
people and the devastation of
the land was so great by the
Guti tribe that they gained con-
troll of the whole valley and
held it for around one hundred
years when the Sumerians and
Accadians were again strong
enough to recapture their lost
territory.
After regaining the valley, the
Sumerians and Accadians were
in control for one hundred and
ten years when they surrendered
once again to a more hostile
tribe called the AmoriteS.
The name of the amorite king
who oVerran the valley was
Hammurabi. The first dynasty
Of Babylon dated from C940 to
1850 B. c. and Hammurabi was
TIN first ruler OF this dynasty.
Hammurabi was 4 statesman as
we'll as a conquer and many
changes were made in laws and
the system of government. Ham
murabi established a code OF
laws which were used for almost
fifteen hundred years. These
laws were mostly revisions of
the Sumerian and Accadian laws,
although much more severe and
the people adhered to them very
closely for Hammurabi's govern
ment supervised the carrying out
of these laws.
The government of Hammur-
abb was absolute, divine-right
monarchy and his orders were
carried out in the different
areas by governors and in the
cities mayors and judges were
appointed to carry out the kings
orders. They were three classes
in Hammurabis society which
consisted of the gentlemen, COM
moners and slaves. The Baby
lonian economy under Ham
murabi consisted of agriculture,
commerce and manufacturing,
which closely resembled the
economy of the Sumerians and
Accadians.
Commerce and banking seem
to have taken precedence over
agriculture and manufacturing
Buying, selling, and money lend
ing was handled by the govern
ment and everything had to be
in writing before it would be
enforced by the courts. Since the
business transactions all had tc
be in writing, very accurate
history of the business transac.
tionS can be obtained.
Living standards for the two
upper classes were rather high
for this period. The houses were

built of sun dried brick, the out
er walls were covered with
stucco and roofs were of poles
with a covering of mating and
a layer of mud.
Art declined some during
Hammurabi's reign. Babylonia
possed a great amount of poetic
literature, but science hardly
existed. About 1850 B. c. Baby
lonia had reached its peak as
being the creator Of new cul-
lures. Next topic: Early Egypt.

Consider the sweeping pur-

Circuit Rides Again
Bv FVELYN WEAVER

Some of you may be wonder
ing why the Methodist youth
are not planning a Christmas
program this year. Several local
MYF's are having parties, plays,
etc, but the county council felt
that with all local activities of
the church, school, and com
munity, it would be better this
year to not have a Christmas
rally. In the three Christmas
seasons that l have been here,
we have encountered some OF
the worst of the winters weather
and our attendance has been
pitifully small. The youth, how
ever, are looking forward to a
rally in March and then our
annual missionary banquet.
The association met on Tues
day and discussed plans for the
Church and Rural Life Institute.
| beheve, we are going to at
tempt new approach this year.
Details of this will be getting
out to you shortly.
If your youth group is antici-
rating contributing to the
county youth Christmas project
this year - sending CARE pack
ages - will you get in all money
this week. We do want the folks
TO get these before Christmas.
/ came across an interesting
paragraph which l believe des-
cribes the phenomena of our
Christmas celebration:
"Chrishmas is a holiday in
stituted by the department
stores and supported by the
Chamber Of Commerce. It is a
time when everyone shops
for everyone else buying
things which one does not nee
essarily need or want; a time
when little children acquire
their annual supply of toys
from make-believe Santa
Claus. (Santa is imaginary, but
the January bills are quite
genuine.) Christmas is a time
when messages of good will
are purchased by the gross
and the postal service becomes
the bearer of good tidings. 1t
is a time when office workers
call their boss by his first
name. Christmas is a season
when much spirit is displayed,
and even more spirits are con-
sumed. Conclusion: Christmas
is good for business"
In our celebration of Christ
mas, let us put Christ back into
this festive Christian season.

gated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited

Because we have failed to pro-
tect and enforce these constitu-
tional provisions, we find our
selves in trouble with shrink
ing liberties and ballooning tax
es. 1t is time to reVitalize the
principle of economic freedom
established by the Bill of Rights
by adding a 23rd Amendment to
the Constitution to provide that:
The Government Of the United
States shall not engage in any

cial, financial or industrial en-
terprise except as specified in

they send them to school every
day at the regular hour. Parents
can also help by joining parent
teacher groups and working hand
in hand with the teacher. If work
is to be done at home in the high
er grades especially, the parents
should see that the pupils COM
plete their assignments. Parents
must let the teachers know that
they are behind them at all times.
It is the duty Of administrators
to head the school community,
make decisions and uphold the
policies of the School Board. The
head of the department, with able
assistance, is to integrate the
whole set-up for the common
good. The supervisors should see
that the teachers know what is
expected of them and that they
are doing their best work. Ali
should do the bidding Of the COM
munity as far as they deem the
suggestions are in keeping with
the best interest of all concerned.
Other citizens are those who do
not belong to any group discussed
above. They, too, can help in our,
school community. They can
serve on boards and commissions
when the opportunity arises. They
can let those in authority know
what would be best for the
schools and work at all times to
support the activities of the
school.
Let us then recognize the fact
that all members of the commu-
nifty should bear the responsibility
for Improvement in the schools.
Education is everybody's business.
Make your contribution in order
to make it a success.

Educotion-A Cooperative Business
JUANITA r. Caroline
Asst. Superintendent of Education

Too often the people Of q COM
munity take very little interest in
education except to criticize
whenever in their opinion that
IS necessary. However, t h a T
should not be the case since the
school community is made up Of
many persons: teachers, pupils,
parents, other citizens and super
visory officials and the best inter
est Of education will be served
when these many persons work
together tremendously and in a
democratic way for the common
good How can each group func-
ton for the common good IN
education?
The duties Of the teacher are
perhaps of paramount Importance
in the educative process. It is his
or her duty to teach the child to
read, write, use figures, and study
essential subjects; to develop IN
him or her correct attitudes,
skills, concepts, and abilities; in
short to do all that is necessary
for one to recognize that the child
has been educated.
The pupils, as recipients of this
indoctrination, must be prepared
by pre-school training to receive
what is to be given to them. They
must be cooperative, and well
behaved.
Parents play an important part
for they are the ones to train their
children before they enter school.
They should see that they are
well-cared physically and that
their environment is such that it
would contribute to their prepa-
ration for education and make it
easier for their teachers to do
their task. It is imperative that
