Richard A. Meade, associate professor OF
Education at the University. His article was
compiled using figures taken during the
l950tU. S. Census.
These show, the professor states, that
the median number Of years of schooling
completed by Nirginians twenty-five years
of age or older, was S.5. In other words,
fifty per cent Of young Nirginians had
completed less than eight and one-half
years Of schooling. With d l2-year system,
this places the first year of high school as
the stopping place for half OF the people
IN that age group in 1850
The 1850 figures also indicated that of
the l6 and II year old age groups, APP
preaching graduation, 63.9 per cent of the
total was in school In reverse 36l per cent
had drifted off. That is slightly more than
one in three. In this age group Virginia
ranked 46th among the states.
We know of many self made men in this
community who helped compile such re-
cords as those cited above. They are promi-
nent. useful and a credit to the community,
but they carried on their own education,

BY the same token we see on every hand

vancement in much the same way These

had become 50 acute that immediate steps
were necessary. a system of paying farmers
for practicing conservation methods was
one way of getting the job done. The value
of conservation is recognized now by all to
be practical, workable and essential We be-
lieve that performance compensation can
be curtaled and discontinued now without
hurt to the overall program Of soil conser-
walton, and such steps should be taken
forthwith. However, we believe the soil con
scrvation program should be continued and

Servation methods and executing them.
The Farm Bureau and Grange have led
in advocating discontinuancc of payments,
Which0iS further indication that the farmers
who think for themselves realize the con
servation lesson has been learned and the
time has come for their industry to CON
tinue the principles learned without com

realize that unnecessary government spend
ing must be stopped and they have shown
a very. excellent example in advocating I'M
mediate curtallment IN their own industry.

Expanding Education

THERE is before the community, or will
be shortly an important question, in
NoiVlng one of the fundamental tenets Of
iloerty and freedom - public school educa-
ton.
The decision will render verdict for or
against a system of vocational education,
ueSl4heo TO widen training and education
opportunities for students - our boys and
girls to put it more accurately ~ who do
not take to the standardized academic type
of course and leave school before gradua-
ton.
Adapted to an urban community school
system, as vocational training is TO rural
community school, the vocational schooling
proposed here is designed to prepare stu
dents who do not intend or cannot afford
to go on to college, for particular kind Of
work after graduation or leaving the high
school
1t is not new. Similar systems of half
classroom, half on-the- job are being used in
many communities. Schoolmen say that
where employers take the system and the
young people seriously and where there is
qualified, understanding co-ordinator be
tween school and jobs, the system is highly
regarded.
Some citizens may say this is matter
for educators to decide, but school board is
not an autocratic body. 1t is an instrument
Of the people, and needs the opinions of par
ents to make proper decisions.
In forming an opinion about the pro-
posed system. and all of us should since it
will be operated from tax money all Of Us
contribute, it may be we'll to have some facts
on the number of youngsters leaving the
schools before the senior high school year

Conservation Payments

FARMERS might as we'll prepare them
selves for smaller conservation pay
ments in the coming years than they have
been receiving for many years past The
opposition to continuing soil conservation
compensation" payments seems u be grow
ing in strength every day. A few days ago
the Council of State Chambers of Com
merce launched an attack on the compcn-
satiOn payments as wastefu expenditures
and dangerous policy.
The Farm Bureau and National Grange
have already aligned themselves against
continuation of conservation payments and,
therefore, a formidable alliance is building
up against these payments In Congress
many Southern congressman and senator's
are still in favor of them because they think
the farmer is having tough time these days
as it is, without any more reductions in IN
come.
The conservation program has been of
inestmable value to the farmers of the
ration and through it millions Of acres have
been saved which otherwise would have cor
roded and been lost forever. The soil loss

And We here, keep true faith with them,
