whether to veto the forthcoming

Senator Robertson said he

Education or Baby Sitting

| Mr.. ID. ID. Cooper, Exec. Sec'y. of the
Montana Educational Assn, in THE
PEOPLES VOICE of Jan. 2Sth spoke
disparagingly of the little red school
house with horse and buggy curric-
ulum'. Such an implication suggests
his complete ignorance of the facts
Pupils got far better instruction in the
little red school house than they do i'm
present day silver plated classrooms
and they were required to learn and
actually pass grade before going on
to the next.
The curriculum of those days was
superior to that of today. 1t must have
been because pupils were taught and
they learned to read with comprehen-
sion, write legibly and beautifully.
spell correctly, and master their mathe-
matics grammar. English and geogra-
ply, something that cannot be said
for most of today's High School gradu-
ates They also acquired courtesy, po-
likeness, responsibility, and pride in
doing worthwhile. Juvenile Delinquent
cy was almost unheard of. OF course
the woodshed and the razor strap was
a potent factor in instilling very
deep respect for law, order, honesty
and industry.
The little red schoolhouse produced
such men as Abraham Lincoln, Thorn.
A Edison, Albert Einstein, Franklin
ID. Roosevelt and President Eisenhower.
One thing is certain Lincoln for in
stance didn't learn to split fence rails
or compose the Gettysburg Address by
cutting out paper dolls in school or
burning up the road in a broken down
ja1opy at all hours of the day and
night
There is no royal road to learning
1t takes just as much time, study and
hard work today in order to learn as it
did 100 years ago and that means home
work and plenty of it just the same as
It always did. Education cannot be
injected with hypodermic syringe or
in with increased cash expendi-
lures alone. Educational results of the
little red schoolhouse" have never been
sxcelled, Mr.. Cooper to the contrary
lot withstanding. 1T is not money ex-
pended but instruction instead of baby
sitting that accomplishes education

If it was not for 1880, the loss from

Formosa-Our Defense
Or China's?
Dear EDITOR Billines.

Dear Editor Billings:
me logic of President Eisenhower's
posI1on on Formosa must be posing
quite problem to the scholars. SIN.
dents and intellectuals of Asia
If as he insists Formosa is .sneces-
sary to the defense of the u. S. A.. it
must be at least sixty times more nee
essary to the defense of China.
Yet II China insists on recovering
formosa, and President Eisenhower
launches World War III to liquidate
tens of millions of human beings most
of the U. S. press will insist that China
was wrong and to blame for irving
TO protect her borders less than 100
miles from an armed known enemy
while the President was absolutely
right and not to blame for merely try-
ing to protect our borders from an
alleged enemy more than 5000 miles
awayi
Most Americans will agree with their
President perhaps for the sake of
unity, but will anyone else on the
face of the earth? Or have Dulles and
the Administration now grown so cal
lous and arrogant and blind and stupid
as to think they can shrug off World
opinion as something of no Importance
to the United States?
And this at the exact time that new
bombs with several times the power for
destruction than any of the hydrogen
ones we possess against which there is
NO defense, are announced.
We await the answer to these ques-
tions with some trepidation.-RAY S.

CHANCES LOOK BRIGHTER FOR STATEHOOD
FOR ALASKA And HAWAII
BY CONG. LEE METCALF

During the 83rd Congress separate
bills for statehood for Hawaii ant
Alaska passed the House. In the Sen.
ate these bills were combined ano
passed as a package bill. When re-
| turned to the House the combined
bills got in a parliamentary snarl
and died.
This year both the House and
Senate are considering combined bills
that are in many respects much bet
ter than those that passed last ses-
sion.
Alaska is huge territory. It's total
land area is more than 375 million
acres, compared to Montana's SO and
a half million. Previous statehood
bills proposed federal grant to
Alaska of so million acres of land.
The new bill provides that the new
state shall be given 100 million acres.
This additional land will give the
Alaskans an opportunity to support
the greater obligations that come
from statehood, and will get the state
states have, that of great blocks of
tax free federal land.
When Montana was admitted,
two sections in every township
were set aside for school purposes.
Except for specific grants, this
was all the federal land given to
start us off. However, almost IS
million acres, or 1870 of the land
in Montana, was given as Land
grants to the transcontinental rail-
roads. 1t is the belief of most of
the committee that it is better to
make a grant outright to the state
than TO make such huge gifts as
the railroad grants.

support of the public schools, for de
velopment of farm and home owner
ship on as widespread a basis as pos
sible and for the making of public
| improvements. This clause is very
like that in our own enabling act ex-
cept that the new states may have
broader latitude in administering the
trust lands for the purposes listed.
The statehood bills contain more
restrictions on the constitutions to
be adopted for the self governing of
Hawaii and Alaska than there were
in the enabling acts of any of the
other states. These restrictions are
the out-growth of our constitutional
experience. The constitution that
Hawaii has already adopted and the
one that Alaska will adopt under the
restrictions of the enabling act could
serve as models for new constitutions
for many of the older states.
In both Hawaii and Alaska the
question of land rights of the natives
has been perplexing one. Former
bills tried in the enabling
legislation to solve some of these
problems. The current proposals have
treated Alaska and Hawaii just as
the other states were treated and
have left these native claims in status
quo. 1t is recognized that equitable
settlement may take years and the
people of these territories are en-
titled to statehood now.
One of the chief arguments adj
vanced by the opponents of Hawaiian
and Alaskan statehood is that these
territories are separated from the
,est of the United States and the dis
,ances involved prevent them from
becoming part of our American

Hamilton Clarifies
His Intentions"

Dear Mr.. Billings and Readers
Without having taken a poll of what
the MEA thinks about my recent letter
to Mr.. Cooper and the PEOPLES
VOICE, l would not profess to know
their sentiments, however, / shall max e
positive statement of my .'inten-
tfons and theories to clear the air
of doubt that has been called to my
attention by Mr.. Coopers letter to
these columns.
My intentions of writing that letter
and making an enclosure to the PEO-
PLIES VOICE is this, and nothing more:
have watched the efforts of the
teachers in local teacher organizations
and have concluded that progress via
these channels is so slow that one must
drive stakes to see if there is any at
all. I commend these people for their
efforts, but as / have said they are
not getting us the desired results in
time. What we do has little effect on
the whole population unless teeth are
put into our efforts and unless the
public is aroused enough to take ac-
ton. This can not be done by hashing
things over among ourselves in the
teaching game
The public press is one of these eff
fective outlets. I thank the editor of
this paper for publishing all sides of
the issues.
My theories which have seemingly
been mis-construed by some, are these:
Schools need all the aid they can get!
They must get this aid fully realizing
that what one source gives them should
not be held as an avenue of escape from
some other source of aid which is also
needed. In other words, we need all
the State aid we can muster. all the
Federal aid we can beg, borrow, or
steal", and all the County aid that can
be afforded, and | insist here and now
that if Montana provided all the State
aid asked for this year, it still would
not be enoughi I object to the policy
of delaying Federal aid on the theory
that States rights will be infringed
upon or that the state is providing ac-
minimum standards without |
Federal aid. Minimum standards will |
not fill the educational needs when |
we are so miserably far behind in all |
phases of this important facet of a |
working democracy.
These are my intentions and theories. |
Coming events and circumstances will /
bear out my correct thinking if already
they do not force recognition of them.
Until and unless they are, and are then
acted upon, our educational crisis Will
become known as the catastrophe Of
ignorance. Sincerely yours.-KEITH B.
Elko, New.
P.S.-So far as / can see, HB 81
should be passed, but it doesn't go half
ar enough.
NOTE: I think it should be
understood by all concerned that in
the opinion of this editor, D. j.
Cooper is doing an outstanding job
in the interests of Montana schools;
that he is faced with grave obstacles,
and that it is going to take the solid
support of all of us to help him over
come in the Senate the forces which
so strongly oppose strengthening j
the school foundation program as
proposed by House Bill 50. Our i'm ,
mediate problem is not whether lib
SO goes half far enough. Rather, !
are the people of Montana going to !
