EDUCATION Is COMING or AGE
AS COMMENCEMENT time in

AS time in this Island approaches
there can Be no escaping the fact that education here has
been going through a steady evolution. So steady has It been
that the average observer has not even been too aware Of it,
but il is nevertheless most revolutionary.
4. TIME WAS when, IN order to give some semblance Of
formality to the teaching profession, the Department Of Edr-
cation classified teachers into Principal, Graded, and Assist
ant Graded, and conducted annual teachers examinations
Salaries in those days, we are told, began even as low as Slo.
a month.
BUT ALL THAT is behind us. With each graduating
class from the High School, ever increasing numbers 60 OFT
to college on the mainland. The problem, therefore, IS con-
siderably simpIfied if in nothing else it permits the local
education authorities to work out their programs in keeping
with available personnel and materials trained and furnished
from 4 common source. Standards are therefore easier to
develop and maintain.
A YEAR young men and young women are COM
ing out Of colleges and universities the length and breadth
Of land. Education is no longer a novelty, but q neces
sary element Of life itself, particularly for those who would
lead wherever their calling takes them. Virgin Islanders are
to be counted among the professions and the arts. i was not
surprising therefore, that all Of the Commissioners thus ap-
pointed and confirmed are natives, and there are others SINH
larly qualified for other positions. .e
NOT Many WEEKS ago the people Of this Island had
the unusual pleasure and satisfaction Of seeing young Father
Roman celebrate his first solemn mass in the very church
where he w~orshipped as a boy. And while Father. Roman
will be assigned to the Archdiocese Of Baltimore, his ties
with his native 81. Croix will always be close, his father and
mother, and sister, to say nothing Of q host Of friends, being
right here.

should serve sugar, lemon or milk.
Connoisseurs of tea prefer milk
they claim it lets the true tea

Since it will be Tea and Cookie

pected to pay sum set by your
daughter of say, SOC or 75c or $1.00.
Your daughter will deduct the
cost of the cookies and the tea
from this and turn over the re-
mainder to the campaign.
1t is especially fitting that chill
dren should help with the Easter
Seal Society Campaign because
the benefits do so much for little
crippled children. Last year it
helped more than $4,000 Of them.

Your friends will be amused at
the idea that your young daughter
is giving the party for them and
she will be the proudest girl in
town when she hands over the
money she has earned on the party
to the Easter Seal Campaign which
is being held nationally, March 10
to April 10.
Let it be entirely your young
daughters party--she will write
the invitations explaining the pur-
pose of the party, plan the color
scheme, make the cookies, brew
tea. receive and serve her guests.
So long as she can bake her own
cookies the rest is easy. By brew
ing tea concentrate she can serve
any number of guests as fine tea
as the most experienced hostess.
It's SO easy to make a tea concen-
trate even a very little girl can
do it with perfect results.
If your daughter has 20 guests
at her party, she will need from
40 to 45 cups of fine, invigorating
tea. To make this amount, bring

Carroll Sauter never did get to
use his sign.
Mr.. Sauter was one of the Mary
land delegates to the Republican
National Convention in San Fran
cisco last week.
Since last spring. he's been carry
ing around a big, neatly printed
sign reading "McKeldin for Vice
President"
He wanted to display it at the
Republican State convention in
Baltimore last May, but Gov. Nc
Keldin and other G. o. p. leaders
talked him out of it. They rea-
soned that Mr.. Sauter's sign might
offend their conventions main
speaker, national Republican Chair
man Leonard w. Hall, who already
had begun his drive to renominate
President Eisenhower and Vice
President Nixon.
So. Mr.. Sauter took his sign back
to Baltimore County and put it in
mothballs until July 25, when the
48-member national convention
delegation from Maryland met in
Baltimore.
But when he tried to unveil his
sign at that meeting, Gov. Nc
Keldin hit the roof.
Mr.. Sauter couldn't understand
1t. until somebody pointed out to
him that only the day before Harold
E. StaSsen had launched his ill
fated campaign to dump Mr.. Nixon.

More Trouble
On Cyprus

The situation on the strife-ridden
Mediterranean island Of Cyprus had
deteriorated again last week, after
hopes for peace had briefly lifted
with an EOKA truce proposal. The
EOKA underground on August is
had suggested a cease-fire in the
continuing bloody hit-and-run
warfare. The British response was
a formal demand that the EOKA
leaders surrender within three
weeks. Field Marshal Sir John
Harding. governor Of the island,
promised amnesty to those surrend-
ering who were not implicated in
crimes Of violence. The terms Of
surrender specified that the Cyp-
riots could elect either to 60 TO
Greece, or remain in Cyprus under
detention.
The EOKA reaction to the Brit
ish ultimatum was the appearance
Of leaflets on the streets Of Nicosia
Indignantly spurning the surrender
demand. Almost at the same time.
a bomb explosion took the life OF
a Greek Cypriot and British secu-
rity forces raided the headquarters
Of the Cypriot Farmers Union. The
unions records were seized and two
ofiicials arrested.
As bombs and bullets apparently
Evening star., 1956-08-26

again became the order Of the day,
Nicosia's Mayor Themistocles Der
Wis appealed to Britain to announce
a self-government plan for Cyprus.
Mr.. Dervis, a Nationalist spokes-
man and leader in the Ethnarchy
Council Of the Greek Orthodox
Church. labeled the British sur
render demand disappointing and
provocative.
With Britain determined to act
firmly against terrorists and to give
no quarter, prospects for tran
quillity and any early resumption
Of negotiations for self-rule went
slimmering. British military gar
risons, meanwhile, were being aug
mented as reinforcements arrived
in Cyprus to bolster Britain's Medi-
terranean bases in the Suez Canal
crisis,
