IT'S A STUPID RULE

Each time we observe a classroom
packed to the brim with eager young
students, into plain view comes the
stupidity of the rule that determines
the number of school teachers by the
average daily attendance.
We can't help but feel that who
ever initiated the move to regulate
the number of teachers by this plan
was ignorant of classroom problems.
1t has been our contention that
teachers should be allotted according
to enrolment figures.
When conscientious teacher (and
very few are otherwise) plans class
work, it is done for the benefit of the
entire class. Not once does a teacher
become lax simply because few alb
sentees are anticipated. The amount
OF work is not decreased whether all
students attend or three OF four take
schooling like medicine - in small
doses at frequent intervals.
Undoubtedly, the shortage of quail
fled teachers stems not so much from
lack of people interested in the future
generation as from poor working
conditions.
Its true, they work not on week
ends and have an to schedule.
Such is appealing but only on the
surface. The many extra hours Of
labor that go into a teaching job

efai public to digest. Neither does

nav and the Green Swamp
have been cast as the setting
of a number of, to say the least,
spectacular bear stories. One
such was the one concerning
the penning Of bear by a
gentleman named Buck Clewis
some years ago when MIR.
ClewiS miStook the bea0@
stray hog. The story told few
days ago by 4 gentleman who
lives in the same area is an
example of the humor indulg-
ed in by hunters wherever
they may be. The man said
"An summer my neighbors and
had been missing a pig here
and there and had decided that
a bear out of the ordinary had
invaded the neighborhood
when l noticed that something
was stripping my cornfield
over next the swamp. Now l
would not have paid much at
tention if the depreciation had
affected a hill now and then
but whatever it was took the
ears row by row. So | began
watch. After several days
watching l caught a large bear
gathering an arnload of corn.
Well, | stayed hid until he
finished his arm full of corn
and then followed him into
the swamp. Blamed if that bear
didn't have those missing pigs
penned up in a big hollow log
and was fattcning them on my
corn" After several moments
of silence the gentleman grave
ly continued-"I haven't told
many people about this be-
cause some of my friends
might begin TO doubt my word.
That could be the understate-
ment of the year,
In anticipation of the coming
bird season many tales of eX-
traordinary bird dogs and re-
trieverS are also coming to
light. Mr.. Lee Gore is reSpon-
Sible for this story Of a dog
who performed beyond the call
of duty. Said Mr.. Gore-"One
day last season a friend of
mine was hunting in the late
afternoon when his dog point
cd a covCy OF birds near a lake
When the covey was flushed
and the hunter had gotten in
as many shots as possible the
dog went about the business Of
retrieving the fallen birds.
When the hunter was satisfied
that the dog had brought in all
the birds he attempted to call
the dog in so he could so homo.
The dog refused TO leave so
his master went on to his
nearby home. Next morning he
was surprised to find a monSt-
rouS trout lying on his front
porch. In an attempt TO discov-
er the mystery of the fish the
man found a newly swallowed
Quail inside the trout" MI
Gore went on-"Wc have al
ways believed that the dog
knew a bird fell into the lake
and when he could not find
the bird he naturally knew he
had to first find the fish large
enough to swallow a bird OF
that size and then catch the
fish that did swallow the bird"
Who deserves a medal. the
dog?
Folks all over are putting in
the last ticks on this seasons
tobacco crop. Most people have e
already finished marketing the
crop and are enjoying a few
days leisure before tackling
another harvest. While others
are already busy in the cotton
fields and let's not forget pea
nuts.
From the amount of boiled
peanuts sold on the streets Of
local towns it would seem there
are no peanuts left. But there
is a full crop this year and It
seems the nuts are well deve-
loped and are yielding very
well. So, we can look forward
to parched peanuts this coming
winter.

No Action on Motion
The United States Attorney
and two assistants yesterday
filed a formal motion asking the
appellate court permission to
file a petition for a re-hearing
by the full court. The motion
was not Immediately acted on.
The petition said:
THE instant decision marks
the first time in this jurisdiction
and so far as appears from
the lack Of citation in either
the appellants brief or in the
opinion. in any other jurisdic-
tion-that a court has over
turned a jury verdict on the
issue of sanity for lack of suf-
ficient evidence to support it.
I'm the instant case, the court
reversed judgments of conviction
In two criminal cases and re-
manded for new trials prin-
cipally on the ground that the
two juries had acted arbitrarily
in failing to acquit the defendant
by reason Of insanity.
No Durham Case Limit
"The court held that the &C.
eused was entitled to, such a YER
dict as a matter Of law; and it
further held that in resolving the
sanity issue the iuries could not
be limited to the so-called Dur
ham test Of responsibility but
had to be instructed to consider
also the right-wrong and ir-
resistible impulse tests. i.
1.-THE decision in the instant
case overrules the prior decision
Of this court in Holloway VS..
United States.
In that case, as in this. there
was what appeared to be strong
psychiatric opinion evidence that
the accused was not sane; and
in that case as in this. the argu-
ment was made that because of
the weight of such evidence the
record disclosed such substantial
doubt Of sanity that the verdict
should be set aside.
But the court said in Hollo-
way that the judgment of the
psychiatrists. while relevant. Isl
not necessarily controlling; and
that the judgment of the jury
that they have no reasonable
doubt of the defendants sanity
should not be disturbed on the
ground 1t is contrary to psy-
chiatric opinion -.

Stoekmen's Proposal Would Set
Education Back BY 80 Years

Educational standards in Montana
would be pushed back at least thirty
years, according to d. d. Cooper,
MEA executive secretary, if a recent
resolution adopted by the Southeast
ern Montana Stockgrowers Associa-
tion were accepted by the Legisla-
ture.
The resolution advocated that Mon
tana high schools train elementary
teachers. If put into practice, this
would virtually remove all profess
sional requirements for certification
of teachers.
At the present time, Montana ranks
among the ten lowest states in teacher
certification standards. If the South
eastern Montana Stockgrowers Asso-
citation recommendation were to pre-
vail, it would place Montana stand
ards as the lowest in the nation.

Condor Brands
Lease Delay
Charges False

repeated charges of delays in
leasing state lands for oil develop
ment, and so-called gambling with
state lands are false and apparently
designed to mislead the people of
Montana" Mary M. Condor, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
and member of the State Land Board
said in Lewistown Monday night. She
spoke at a meeting of the Central
Montana Schoolmasters Association
to which all candidates for State Su-
perintendent were invited.
"In 1853 the Land Board, concur
ring with the opinion of at least two
former Governors, Ford and Bonner,
did not offer permanent leases for
SALE" Miss Condor pointed out. "The
ensuing injunctions instituted by Ger
tain oil interests and others, delayed
leasing for some 20 months, ultimate
ly resulting in U. S. Supreme Court
ruling that permanent leases were
not in conflict with the enabling act.
"Since the Supreme Court decision
there has been no delay in leasing.
The state Land Board under a policy
adopted Immediately after the court
decision, has leased over 225,00O
acres of unproven land at 1917 %
royalty with bonuses in some in
stances going to nearly 100000 per
acre. The total of bonuses and rentals
has been well over a million dollars
last year.
"Only 1900 acres are in contro-
versy-hardly an important enough
percentage of the over six million
acres of mineral rights the state owns
to cause the hysterical claim that
the Land Board is gambling with the
states heritage" she said "No pres
ent member of the State Land Board
has ever defied the U. S. Supreme
Court Or gambled with state land.
"The only purpose of those who
are making these charges can be to
confuse the voters of Montana in the |
coming election. The people of Mon
tana are not that easily fooled, I am
sure"

OIL PROFITS UP. BUT
MOTORISTS MUST PAY
MORE, WILSON SAYS

CHICAGO-(CNS)-With earn
ings 1870 ahead of last year, Stand
ard Oil of Indiana's president,
Robert E. Wilson, said motorists
are going to have to pay more for
gasoline.
The big firm has long exercised
price leadership" for oil products
throughout the Midwest. In its
first three months this year, Stand
ard had sales of $486.2 million and
profits after taxes of $41.4 mil
lion. That's &c profit on each
dollar spent for gasoline, motor
oil, heating oil, etc.-after taxes.
Still, Wilson said here May 3,
Gasoline prices must increase"
He said the industry needs price
incentive"
This price incentive" imbued
industry which SHES away from
any kind of ceiling on its prices
or profits, is the same industry
which has lobbied through Mon
tana's Legislature, ceilings on both
the amount of royalty and the
amount of delay drilling penalty
the State may collect for the bene-
fit of the public schools.
It's also the same industry
which, despite record breaking
profits in recent years, has on the
whole seldom paid more than the
minimum $500 corporation license
tax for the privilege of doing bust
ness in Montana.
1t is also the same industry
which, because of the need of a
price incentive" has bumped the
price of gasoline in Montana twice
in the last IL months.
And, it is the same industry

bers, is going all-out Financially
