school system could make would be to begin unking
students who don't deserve pass. The current vogue
in most of grammar and many Of our high schools
is of course to promote practically everyone regardless
of performance.
do not agree with this concept that every American
child come hell, high water or low grades = is
endowed by his Creator with the inaenabe right to be
promoted 1t is thing to slip hint to contestant
on get-richquick quiz show in order to nudge him
past the first plateau But to codde and pamper an un
fit pupil through eight bumpy years of grammar school
and four years of high school is misplaced charity
This is stern and perhaps heart-rendng fact for
many parents to face But am convinced that the chill
dren who cannot keep up in school will themselves
benefit from more realistic solution to their problem

those who are unable unwilling to progress should
be transferred into special classes, given vocational
training suit their apudeS allowed to go to work.
Left where they are, in classes with bright and nor
malIy willing children, they only slow the whole
educational process for everybody by taking up the
teachers time useeSsly and by forcing the class to
adhere to tempo below the other students natural
speed.
Not Undemocratic
But, you say this plan to take the billiards out of
regular school is undemocratic. can't agree. Since
when in the name of democracy is doctor expected to
give clean bill of health to child infected with the
are just high the physicians what kind Of democ
racy that requires the teacher to award promotion
or deceitfuy passing grade to the laggard scholar?
Do you still Stoutly maintain that your Tommy has an
inaenabIe right to education? don't think so. To
my way of thinking, democracy guarantees our chill
dren the opportunity to learn.
Sticers for literal interpretations may say IT. undem-
ocratic to separate the wheat from the chah But say
it's sin that the mediocre and the unpotentia should
set the pace for their betterS.
In all of human history there has been no more ideal
isc social experiment than that Of mass education in
twentieth-centur America. Obviously, as nation we
regard education as something of value Otherwise we
would not gladly spend such fabulous sums to foster
and extend it. Yet there is curious paradox IN our
attitude which makes wonder which really value
most - education or school attendance
There is great deal Of evidence that we are actually
afraid of education, contemptuouS Of eggheadS,
and suspicious Of any signs of culture in our public g
ures In the classroom this gIorfcaon of mediocrty
takes the form of helping slow students mudde through
while the keener minds hunger for inspiration. In our
zeal to produce wel-rounded graduates, deny

the long run, hurt us all.
realize, too that the facie suggestion "Send them
to trade school," is solution for the problem OF
mentally backward children. Todays trade schools are
doing splendid job, but for that very reason we must
foTebear flooding them with retarded pupils 1t is
pretty well established fact by that vocational train
ing takes the same sort of brains that needed for
learning English grammar and algebra.
More Vocational Training
No, what we need is new system of vocational train
ing specially adapted to the needs of those who are
unable to succeed in the regular classroom.
The problem is urgent. Recently in The Atlantic
Monthly" high-School teacher CaSpar D. Green pre-
sented the following picture of an average enthgade
English class of 26 boys and girls:
OF the 26, according to MIR. Green, three will be
exceptionally gifted and the teacher will give them extra
reading assignments At the opposite end of the list will
be four five students who will be incapable OF doing
anything that could properly be labeled tenth-gTade
English They do not write sentence they do not know
or about capitals the beginning or periods at the
end Such Spelngs reve for relieve fOnO for tomato
rOre for road nsp for Mississippi Gngeve for engineer
gOe or gov for co. will not be exceptional For reading
few twosylabe words within their grasp. and many
of one syllable are beyond them.
The attitude of these mStS most of whom have been
dragooned into class by the law, varies from total
passvity active and destructive protest And renem-
Der that in group situations, those who crawl at snas
pace are the ones who set the standard for the class
In view of this resistance to schoowork why their
attendance required? Is perhaps to learn valuable
social attitudes? doubt it. According to MIR. Green
the values nutured at school in the belowpar student
are these firm conviction that the loftieSt aim in life
is to get by without working; idea that quality Of
workmanship has importance whatsoever; con-
rmed habit of disregarding instructions; systematic
cay cultivated lazneSs; and the habtual feeling that
the days work an afront to dignity and an annoying
intrusion ones right to loaf.

Old Homestead

The yard is overgrown with
weeds
Its fence is all aSkew,
The porch is sagging everyway
It's paint is peeling too.
The chimney swifts are in high
glee
As from the chimneys rise,
The windows have a grimy
glaze
That thru them light defies.
A quiet stiffness lies about
That reeks and seems to say
I've served my purpose here
on earth
So now | must decay"
An air of sadness grips the
soul
T'is hard to shake it loose,
For hands of fate and father
time
Have never a lasting truce.
Back in the tender years of
life
1t was a place of rest,
Twas heaven for the family
brood
A haven among the best
For pride and JOY and peace
and love
Beneath this rooted domain
Hold cherished memories Of
the past
Along with sweat and pain.
The sands of time has changed
it all
AS years moved on apace,
The children grew and moved
away
To dwell another place.
And in the days allotted man
Old scenes will disappear,
Yet in far reaches of the mino
They vividly are clear.
And so it goes all down thru
life,
Tho tides may ebb and flow.
We yearn for old familiar
scenes
We in the past did know,
And in that paradise to be
Up in that Realm above,
Where everything is happiness
All welded with Gods love,
We know so much about it now
We've tasted Heavens bliss,
The nearest thing on earth ha
been
That old homestead we miss.

Feed Grains, Flax
Supports Listed

BARLEY, OATS, rye and flaxseed of
the 1856 crop will be supported at 20
per cent of parity the Department of
Agriculture has announced. This is an
increase of per cent over the 1855 level
for naxseed and the same support rate
as last year for the feed grains, Leo S.
Kolstad, State Agricultural Stabiliza-
ton and Conservation administrative
officer says.
This years national average support
prices based on these support levels and
the Jan. Is parity prices with 1855
average support prices will be barley
SO (94) cents bushel for Grade No. 2
or better; oats SO (61 cents bushel for
Grade No. or better; rye $116 GLIB
bushel for Grade No. 2 or better or
No. on test weight only; and flaxseed
$500 ($2.9D bushel for Grade No. 1.
A schedule of premiums and discounts
for other grades eligible for support
will be provided.
k0lStad explained that, although the
support level for barley, oats and rye
is the same as last year, there is a
slight decrease in the dollars-and-cents
support rate due to the change in pari-
ty price of the commodities. Parity
prices for these commodities on JAN
uary Is were barley $1SS a bushel;
oats 84.6 cents bushel; rye $1.66 a
buShel; and flaxseed SAL a bushel.
Announcement was made last spring
that the 1856 wheat crop would be sup
ported at rs per cent Of parity, ma
tional average of $1.81 a bushel. This
compares with support of the 1855 crop
at 82.5 per cent of parity, an average
price of $2.08 a bushel Support levels
for dry beans and dairy products have
not yet been announced.
