Report Regional
Conference On
Education

Delegates from Richland, Custer, Wi
baux, Powder River, FallOn, Prairie.
and Dawson counties met in Miles
City June 10 for discussion of the
topics suggested by the Pilot Com
mlttee for the state conference on
education.
This conference, as the other nine
planned as a workshop" type of
conference. The delegates had been
instructed to be prepared to express
the opinion of the county citizens
with regard to the questions to be dis
cussed rather than their own opinions.
At the first general session at 10
a. m. Monday Charles H. Peck, re-
gional chairman, made a few intro
ductory remarks and instructed the
delegates as to procedure for the
discussion groups.
The attending representatives were
divided into three discussion groups
and each of the groups was given a
topic for its immediate consideration.
After a continuation of the dis
cuSSion group meetings at 1870, there
was a general assembly called for $3.50
at which time a report from each
of the 3 groups was heard and each
report was discussed by the assembly
as a whole.
Following are some OF the ideas and
recommendations as brought in by
the delegates taking part in a topic
consideration:
l. What Should Our
Schools Accomplish?
That more emphasis be placed up
on the students learning the basic
subjects such as reading, writing.
and mathematics.
That students be taught more OF

munity use should be left to the dis
erection of the school boards.
Jack Reed, chairman of the State
Board of Equalization and Maurice
Taylor of the Montana State College
Of Bozeman, were the tax consultants
who had been invited to attend this
regional meeting in an advisory ca
pacity. At 500 Mr.. Reed spoke brief
~ on the tax situation in Montana,
streSsing the fact that the first step
in getting more for our tax money
should be economy. In order to have
a sound financial school system, econ
omy on a local level should be the
first consideration. Each school dis
trict needs first to provide the fun
damentals of education. which should
be segregated from the non-funda-
mentals Of education, the ''frills' OF
modern school plants are to be adopt
ed only if and when the basic re-
qulrements have been provided for.
Also. he said, the 71a mill levy
the present state tax for schools
could be kept on a local level elimi-
mating the overhead expense of each
county's sending its allotment to the
state office where it is in turn re-
distributed to the elementary schools.
This concluded Mondays session OF
the conference.
The Richland county representa-
tives felt that more could have been
accomplished at this conference had
there been less "flibustering" by
non-delegates. They also wish to
gratefully acknowledge the help Civ

DITORIALLY
JULY 4TH, 1855

On next Monday, July 4th, the
people of the United States will
celebrate the anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of In
dependence. This document, pro-
claiming the independence of the
thirteen colonies in America, sign
ed by the delegates to the Con-
tinental Congress, was, in some
particulars, no more than a rec
ognition of the existing state of
affairs.
Signed by John Hancock, the
President of the Congress, on
July 4th, 1776, the Declaration
was subsequently engrossed on
parchment and signed by fifty
three members of the Congress on
August End of that same year.
Largely drafted by Thomas JEFF
ferson, the Declaration of indie
pendence expresses the essence Of
Jefferson's own personal politica
philosophy. This, briefly, is the
idea that men are created euua
and endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, in
Guiding life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
Moreover, to secure these rights
governments are instituted among
men and derive their just pow.

STIRRING SPORTS DRAMA

In a Once-1n-a-lifetlme script,
Jack Fleck (who's he?) has won
the World Series of golf. In a
Merriwell-like display of game
ness, determination and ability,
the underdog golfer - who yes
terday was a nobody-put the
whammy on the great Ben Hogan
in a playoff.
To tie Ben, on the day before,
the Davenport, Iowa, club pro
had blazed in with brides on a
couple of Wind-up holes, on his
final regulation nine. Everyone
thought Hogan had it sewed up
until Fleck came in fast that day.
He tied Ben at 287 for the lead.
The playoff next day found
Hogan the favorite, quite natur-
ally. Flick was supposed to fold,
blow or d~isintegrate under the
pressure. But he started off as
cool as Hogan and that is cool
But even up to the eighteenth
hole he was under pressure. After
having led throughout that play

EROSION COSTLY
ON FARMS

For many years now, experts
of the Soil Conservation Service
of the Department of Agriculture
have been calling attention to
the losses suffered through soil
erosion in this country.
Some years ago, DR.. Hugh H.
Bennett, then Chief of the Soil
Conservation Service, declared
that about 100, 0OO,0 0O acres of
crop land, some of it the ma
TONS best land, had been "com-
pletely finished" as a result OF
soil erosion. He then estimated
that the annual direct cost OF
erosion to the farmers of this
country alone, not counting dam
age to reservoirs, stream channels
and irrigation bitches, highways
and railroads, at $500, 000, 900.
This information has been reao
time and again by the farmers
of this section. 1t undoubtedly at
tracted their attention and some
farmers have taken constructive
steps to correct the situation
having their farm lands ~terranec
and using other advanced idea.
to save their precious top soil.
We take this occasion, however
to call the attention of othe-
farmers to the necessity of con.
tinuing the fight against erosion
on their land. Like some othe.
things that menace mankind, tn,
time to start the war on erosion
is when the first threatening gul
ly appears, before great damag,
is done.

government through more thorough
teaching of American and Montana
history. Pupils need to be taught
good citizenship.
schools be more strictly enforced so
that wher possible, only students
meeting those standards should be
passed to the next grade. Special
training for the handicapped and the
gifted child should be provided
where at all possible.
More discipline should be carried
over from home into school with
parents supporting authority of the
school.
Character building should be the
joint responsibility OF the home,
church, and School
Curriculum offered should be such
that students viii get either a college
preparatory course or vocational
training adapted to their individual
capability.
II. How can We Get and Keep
Enough Competent Teachers?
In order to attract young people to
the teaching field, the teachers them
selves and the people of the COM
munity must build VI real respect
for their profession.
Teaching should be encouraged. as
a lifetime career, removing existing
discrimination against married wo-
men or older members of the pro-
feSsion.
A course of education could be
taught in high schools to enable those
who show special aptitude for teach
ing to find their way into the teach
ing field and scholarships be granted
to those qualifying. Students who ac-
cept sue scholarships should have
a moral obligation to teach in our
state a certain number of years.
A revision of the Tenure Act was
recommended since it was felt that
the good teacher does not need GER
tain provisions of the law and il
tends to protect the poor teachers.
More stringent check on the teach
ers during their first 2 years of ser
vice with closer screening of then
abilities was also recommended.
A teacher in rural schools after one
year of Normal training could be is.

III. Are Our School Buildings
And Equipment Adequate?

the closest Bantam Ben had been
since the two were On the open

But it was Hogan who gave
way under the pressure on the
final hole of the playoff. His foot
slipped on his drive, and his ball
went into the rough. When he
missed the ball in the rough, that
just about settled the matter.

that, whenever any form of gov
eminent becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute a new govern
ment, laying its foundation on
such principles, and organizing its
powers in such form, as shall seem
most likely to affect their safety
and happiness.
It seems strange to us, in this
day, to reflect that the Declara-
ton of independence, which pro-
claimed the principles of the col
oniStS in their war for indepen-
dence, does not express the spirit
of some of the descendants of the
men who fought under General
Washington. Human nature being
what it is, it is perhaps inevitable
that there should be a large num-

work of those who framed the
machinery of our Federal Gov
eminent, and we believe in the
principles expressed in the Dec
laration of independence, we find
ourselves more tolerant of those
who advocate changes from time
to time. We believe that the de-
fectS of our present governmental
system, whatever they may be
are due more to men than tc
the machinery of government and
we, therefore, realize that, from
time to time, some adjustments
are necessary.
We would suggest that our read
ers celebrate the anniversary Of
the signing of this historic docu-
ment this year by taking the
necessary time to read its words
The reading of it would do us al
good.

Just back from visiting with my
daughters family and playing
Grandpop to two of the cutest
kids you ever saw. While there l
picked up a couple of new ideas
on child raising:
If your child's learning to use
a pen, provide an old fountain
pen-flled with bluing. Looks
and writes like ink, but won't
stain clothes or furniture.
Maybe you have a boy, like my
grandson, who thinks he's too
old for a bib-but isn't. A big
cowboy bandana works just as
well, and looks herman to boot.
