How Out-Of State
City Schools Differ From
Delaware Schools

AS far back as | can remember
l wanted to move to the country
This wish was finally realized 3
days before by fourteenth birth
day. What an ideal birthday pres
ent! After much preparation we,
in July, made the trip from the
city to our new home in Delaware.
In the course of a year we no.
ticed the many distinct differences
between city life and country life.
But one of the most outstanding
differences was in the schools. To
begin, each morning there was the
pleasant bus ride with all your
friends to school. In the city l had
to take two public buses or walk
several miles. These buses were al
ways very crowded and it was diff
cult to carry many books or even
musical instrument, as was often
necessary. Besides this fact there
was the object of money. Although
we were able to get bus tickets
in school at a discount, the ap-
proximately 10 cents going to
school and 10 cents returning home
again added up. Often the busses
were not on schedule and it just
seemed in bad weather they were
never ON schedule and we were
compelled to wait in the rain, snow
or whatever the conditions were.
My first day at Caesar Rodney
| proved to be one of the most in
teresting | have ever experienced.
Upon my arrival at this school
/ went to the office l then began
| to notice the people around me.
Most of the students / noticed
| looked very young. / didn't seem
to be able to find any high school
students. Then / noticed one girl
who seemed to be about high
school age Little did / know that
she was to be my homeroom tea
cher. Here | would like to explain
myself. In the city a student in
about the 18th grade looks about
| twenty years old as compared to
student in eleventh grade in
Delaware. Many of the teachers
also are fairly old Another very
important fact l learned during
that first year was the definite
difference between teachers. In
Delaware the teachers and the
students work together as friends
and the teachers try very hard to
make the students do their work
and earn good grades. In the city
the story is entirely different.
There are several classes l went
| to in the city that / still don't
know the name of the teacher.
Also the teachers do not try to
make student work or learn.
vt is entirely up to the student to
earn his own grades. / feel that
because of the close relationship

BUSY STUDENT

WICHITA, Kas. Up The first
student to complete degree require
ments in Wichita University's col
lege of adult education was a vet
eran newsman-Ernest A. Warden.
He's been majoring in economics
and mirroring in journalism while
attending night classes since 1947
Meantime, he covered regular runs
and wrote features OH The Wichita
Beacon, won repeated election as
justice of the peace, wrote four
books on crime and divorce, and
did free-lance writing.
Work for his ALB. degree started
with Al hours of credit at Colum-
bia University, New York City, in
1924.

HALLMARKS OF DICTATORSHIPS

Many Illuminating articles have been
written about the last shift of power IN the
Kremlin, and the probable forces behind 1t.
1t seems to be generally agreed in the most
authoritative circles that major factor is
the CHASTITY mess which is Soviet agricul-
ture Farmers, under iron-handed collec-
tivism, are FESTIVE and unhappy. Production
of most foods is far below any reasonable
level for country of Russias size. There
are actually fewer cattle than in the days of
the Cars, when the population was far
smaller. A goat was needed-and Malenkov
was it.
Whether or not Malenkov was gravely at
fault as an administrator is debatable
question. But one thing is certaln-there is
small chance of things getting much better
in Russia under the existing system. The
world has known relationships for centuries,
and subsistence living standards and depriv-
alton of the masses have been hallmarks of
every one. All the prods and terrors the
police state can muster can't overcome the
fact that enslaved people, moved like pawns
by an all-pOWerful government, can't begin
to equal the productive capabilities of free
people.
1t is also true that government controls
and edicts, well-intentioned as they may be,
never get the desired result We had taste
of this, when price and other controls were
left in effect after the war. To take a salient
example, one consequence was a severe meat
shortage Producers just couldn't function
efficiently when bureaucrats were calling the
tune. Much of what meat there was wound
up in black markets. When the controls fin
ally were removed, production started up
and now the country has meat IN abundance
No one feels sorry for Malenkov. He was
a victim of the communist system-as we'll
as the ruthless power politics which COM
munism makes inevitable.

little friendly encouragement -
friendly words and maybe a plate
of cookies now and then-you will
find that your children have a
delightful and valuable companion
ship with other children of all
ages.
Ordinary yellow building sand is
quite satisfactory. In fact, it lends
itself to more elaborate construc-
tons than white sea sand. It's
much cheaper too - unless you
live OH the beach. If you live in
the country or any place where
building sand dumped in a sunny
spot is all you need.
If your space is limited, you will
need a sandbox so that the sand
can be kept more or less in one
spot. Get a sandbox as big as your
space will allow. A large wooden
box, made with tiny cracks be-
tween the boards at the bottom to
let the rain drain off makes a good
sandbox. A seat 10 inches to a
foot wide all the way around is
desirable. If the box is provided
with a cover of either wood or
heavy canvas, it can be used soon
er after a rainstorm than if it is
necessary for the sand to dry out in
the sun and air.
A few sand toys will be needed.
Something to dig with, old spoons,
small shovels, shells (obtained
from a fish market) are good.
| Pals, buckets, tin cans, boxes,
small molds are all useful in the
sand.
A flour sitter, strainer, an egg
beaten, a rolling pin and many
other kitchen utensils can be used.
Later on, toy cars, trains, trucks,
airplanes, figures of people and
animals will all be enjoyed in the
sand.
Anne had been playing in sand
for years and loving it. One day
| her parents took her to the ocean
to see the surf and dabble in the
water. Anne took a brief look at
the expanse of blue water, then
clapped her hands with glee:
What an enormous sandpile!"
she shouted and began to dig.

Teachers Need More Money

only from $3.50 to 2:30. vacationed
from June 25 to September 5, and
it's factory or store lay idle as

1t is true that teachers have papers
to correct, lessons to prepare, and
extracurricular activities to super

so that teachers can earn the extra
money need. One idea would be to
Nxtend the school day and the
school year SO that the first eight
years are done in seven, and the
last four years, in three. Thereby
we save two years for the children.

We can make our plant more
efficient and give teachers much

solve the problem of delinquency
by keeping our kids buster. This
sort of thing is not pipe dream.

credited College of Business Ad-

Babson Park, Mass, April 81.
One of the critical problems facing
every voter today is how to pay
for the mounting cost of education
without taxing property holders in
to the poorhouse.
More Economical Schools Needed
The sharp rise in the birth rate
is one source of our problem. To
help house the increasing popu-
lation, about 100000 housing units
have been built since 1861, 215,-
500 in 1854 alonel This building
boom has given impetus tic our
notional prosperity, but is has
created problems galore at the
school level. Most of these new
homes have been purchased by
good young couples who want de-
cent places in which to raise their
families.
| These families have become SC
large in proportion to existing
educational facilities that many
cities and towns are now losing
money on each new house built
Where there is more than one child

there will be a marked demand

3518 Mayo
Topeka, Kansas
April 18th

Dear Friends:
Topeka and all of Kansas is ter
ribly upset over the conference in
Denver this week. Here in the mid
west three cities, Dodge City, Kan
sas; Oklahoma City, Okla; and Col
orado Springs, Colo; were all vie
ing for the honor to build a costly
memorial to by-gone cowboys. The
town would be the Cowboy Capital
of the World and you can imagine
the revenue that the tourist would
bring to such a state memorializlng
the men who helped build our west.
People here claim that the governor
of Kansas and his committee went
to the conference weighty with pa
pers claiming the historical back
ground of Dodge City and it's Boot
Hill. The men from Oklahoma went
with a blank check ready to sign
over for the beginning of the con-
troversial memorial.
More excitement here in Topeka
centers around something much
smaller and yet more momentous
than any monument. Monday in To-
peka the news will all center
around a needle, many needles, that
will contain DR.. Salk's polio vac
cine. / and others have been asked
to be at the school at $3.50 that
morning to help assist the doctors
and nurses administer the wonder
full serum. Now you know I'm not
too good at watching. a child get a
needle poked in his arm, let alone
thousands of children! I'm so CRATE
full that Lynne will get it that may
be I'll be able to witness the shots
if / can just remember the worth
of the preventative serum they con-
tain.
There are fewer and fewer days

Gridiron Snopshooting

Can you imagine a more Won
derful opportunity fc" good pic
lures than football s, ne? There
are players in action on the grid
iron, the pigskin flying across the
goal-line, the packed grandstand,
the mounting excitement of the
spectators, the cheerleaders, the
band-hundreds of picture posi-
bilities that deserve to be recorded
for your immediate pleasure and
future enjoyment.
There's no doubt about it-kick-
off time ought really be called
"click- off time! Every thud of a
toe against the pigskin, every
cheer from the crowd merits a
click of the camera. No one who
enjoys football can afford to for
get his camera when he goes to
a game-at least, not if he wants
a true-to-life record of the home
team in action.
The nice thing about it is you
can snap your pictures right from
the grandstand and get excellent
results. For here's a case where

distance lends enchantment"-
actually helping slow down the
action so that your camera can
catch it clearly. Just load your
camera with film designed for fast
action, use a small lens opening,
select an interesting angle-and
you can expect to get good prints
of the game in progress.
Once you nave the prints made,
you may want to show your
photofinisher a particular portion
you'd like to have enlarged. He
can crop and enlarge it to snap
shot size for you so satisfactorily
that no one will suspect your pic
ture hadn't been taken by a news
photographer way up close to the
action.
One more reminder is that even
a scrub game or a practice session
can be big game for your camera.
Good football shots are where you
find them-sandlot or stadium,
small-fry or big-league style.
