. BY YOSH TAGUCHI

When Kazuo Kawasaki was six
teen years old he had told his par
ents: Il don't intend to get mar
ried. ever I know what I want in
life, and it doesn't include a fe-
male"
At the time when he said this,
Kaz's parents were elated and they
smiled secretly at one another.
And if you think that Mr. and Mrs.
Kawasaki took the words of their
son frivolously, you're mistaken.
You see, to Mr.. and Mrs. Ka-
wasaki there were eleven c o m =
mandments of which the eleventh
was the most important. And be-
cause the authorities persisted in
overlooking this Commandment,
they had taken it upon themselves
to pound it into their son Mr.. and
Mrs. Kawasaki had reiterated their
pet proverb year after year, now
in one form, now in another.
Boys and girls don't mix &.
AS long as you're a student. don't
you ever think of girls Girls
are scheming, evil wicked :.
Schools and girls are like water
and oil, they don't mix And so
on.
Kaz was smart and learned the
lesson we'll. While most of us &C
quired an interest in girls, Kas de-
veloped an interest In physics, and
while our infatuation with our first
love withered and waned, Kaz's
fascination for physics blossomed
and m ured. He was virtually
married to the subject, and we
friends of his jealousy expected a
brain-child any day.
But while our attitude to Kaz
had changed from one of ridicule
to respect, Mr.. and Mrs. Kawasaki
worried over their sons overzeal-
Gus preoccupation in academies.
They came over to our house, one
evening, and confessed their ire
parable faux pas
ut was your silly idea that girls
should have no place in the boys
heart" accused Mr.. Kawasaki.
But that was only so he would
MT get mixed up with a girl pre-
maturely. You, yourself, agreed on
the scheme" protested Mr. Kawa-
saki.
"The boy is abnormal, and I'm
not at all convinced that we're
not partially responsible said
Mr.. Kawasaki.
Partially Perhaps wholly said
Mrs. Wawasaki.
Mr.. Kawasaki turned and look
ed me straight in the eye.
Wont you help straighten him
out" he begged. God knows he
needs guidance but he won't listen
to me. Maybe if you talk to him,
informal like, he might listen"
What could I say? I promised to
do my best. Mr.. Kawasaki took
my hand and shook it warmly,
but already had some misgivings
What could I say to Kaz? Ro-
nance is quite a delicate subject
and not the easiest thing to sell
to a born bachelor. Besides, you
can't argue or reason with Kaz;
he twists your arguments around
and makes a monkey out of you
if you try. I studied various ap-
proaches to the problem and de-
cided on a sermon. I didn't like
the idea, particularly, but my cor
tex refused to provide a better sug-
gestion. And so I prepared well
planned speech and waited the
opportunity to exercise my ora
tory. I dint have long to wait
because Kaz and are good friends
despite our different interests.
"Kaz," I said solemnly, one day,
there are times when one must
be cruel only to be kind. There is

pie concerned happen to be your

is part of our national heritage
and as rightful citizens of this de
mocratic nation, we must uphold
this value. Why, girls stimulate

mately to fame and prosperity

ugh said Kaz, your Adde'S
cence is abominable.
l was going to tell him that he
was sublimating his Illustration in
a high-faluting facade of simulat-
ed intellectualism. but l felt he
wouldn't understand.
And frankly, I couldn't under
stand Kaz. For guy who's smart
and good looking, he just didn't
make sense. Would you believe it?
The guys tall, dark, and hand
some; he's got an angular face
that catches the light we'll; and
an infectious smile that is reput-
ed to have sen the hearts of lot
of girls aflutter-and he's unat-
tached.
Mr.. Kawasaki took my disap-
pointing report in good stride He
must have anticipated my failure
for he had concocted a sure-fire
plan in the meantime. He was ex-
uberantly confident and divulged
his secret scheme to me. The plan
was a take-off on the traditional
Japanese picture marriages.
Are you familiar with Japanese
picture marriages? It's something
like this: photographs of lot of
girls are presented to an eligible
bachelor who is asked to pick out
prospective mate What the poor
guy doesn't know, of course, is that
most of the prettier girls are al
ready married; and invariably, the
pretty Miss the guy picks out is
already somebody's Mrs. At this
point the sewanin or baishakunin
enters the picture.

embarrassed lad, "matrimony is
not something to be taken so light

proposed to do was to invite an
attractive girl to his home to

Mr.. Kawasaki is. by nature, not
very laxative Thus his self-im-
posed ordeal was an especially ex-
circulating one. but like many an
1ssei parent. he thought only of
his sons happiness.

KawaSaki one evening, and Kazuo
Immediately lent an attentive ear.

not very common occurrence in
the Kawasaki household, and when
it did occur, it was generally i'm

here, and her mother doesn't want
to send her here unless she can
be assured that her daughter will
be safe in the big city The
problem is, Kaz, you're SO dead set
against girls that I'm afraid you'll
brighten her back to the country.
Here's her picture, by the way, in
case you're interested"
Kaz said nothing and Mr.. Ka-
wasaki thrust the picture into his
hand
We'll, son" said Mr.. Kawasaki,
do you think you can act as a
host to this, I must say, rather at
tractive young lady?"
Why can't she stay at the 'Y'P"
Kas said.

Sorry, Dad"
1t was a defeated Mr. Kawasaki
that came to our place that week.
/ tried to assure him that in mat
tiers of the heart one can never be
too certain, but words were hardly
the things that could comfort Mr..
KaWasaki.
Kaz, on the other hand, was in
an especially jocund mood when
1 saw him next. He smiled, smirk-
ed, and said:
you know what? I think Dads

Hes worried about you said
What for?" asked Kaz.
You know darn we'll what for"
I said, and then I wondered if he
did know.
You're unsocIable and you stick
too much to yourself I said
"Ah, the coy comfort of con-
finement; but maybe I'll surprise
him." said Kaz with his diabolcal
half-smile.
I did not see much of the Ka-
wasakis in the few weeks that fol-
lowed The fault, of course, was
entirely mine. I avoided Kaz be-
cause l did not know what else
could say to him, and 1 purposely
avoided Mr.. KaWaSaki because
didn't know what l could say to
him, either.

THE OHIO SCHOOL
SURVEY COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE
INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAM

The Ohio School Survey Com
mittee polled together a series of
recommendation from its study
committees, and they have pre-
sented these to the legislature.
Among them are the following:
/. Many school districts need
to make a study of the general
objectives of their schools. The
Commission commented that many
systems in the state have paid
little attention to the systematic
study of the schools purposes. Eu-
cid educators feel that this criti-
cism is fully met in their develop
ment in the last two years of the
series of teaching guides now be-
ing used in the schools. In fact,
local administrators feel that Eu-
cid is far in advance of most sys-
TENS in the country in this respect.
2. The Survey Committee
recommended that the State De-
partment of Education should con-
duct program of general testing
of pupil accomplishment. This is
a very controversial issue and

tablishment of school resource
centers where Institutional ma
terials of various kinds should
be available to teachers. This is
represented in Euclid by the large
number of volumes in each school
library and the central library of
audio-visual materials available to
Euclid teachers under a supervisor.
II. The Commission placed a
great deal of emphasis upon Ii
brary services which they believe
should be strengthened and i'm
proved. They comment that more
than one-half of school librarians
in the state have no training in
this area. They criticized the
standards for libraries as low and
recommend that they be reeX-
amined and revised. In Euclid, the
elementary libraries average ap-
proximately 5000 volumes, the
Senior High School about 10000.
These libraries are constantly
being added to by the Board of
Education and also by the Euclid
Library Board. The libraries in
the Euclid Schools are stated by
the Euclid Library Board.
13. The School Survey Com
mittee advocates that no classes
should exceed thirty pupils, except
for those in physical education,
music, and other special fields.
ID. They recommend that spe-
cial provision should be made for
exceptional children. In Euclid,
the physically Handicapped are sent
to special schools at the expense
of the Euclid Board of Education.
The slow learners are provided for
in special classes and through
tutoring services. A committee of
parents and Euclid teachers is
working at the present time upon
