Some hint as to recommendations
which may be in the offing for legis-
lative consideration regarding the
State Board of Education and the
office of State Superintendent came
out this week at a joint meeting of
the n-Education Commission
and the Montana Legislative Council.
Eight suggestions requiring long
range planning and legislation for
state organization and administration
of public education seem likely of
recommendation to either the Gov
ernor or the Legislature direct.
The eight proposals appear to be
based in considerable degree on the
findings and recommendations of the
Peabody Institute survey team which
made a comprehensive report to the
TIE Commission and the Council in
September.
The eight suggestions follow:
1. Remove ex-officio members from
the State Board Of Education. Gov
ernor, Attorney General and State
Supt. of Public Instruction.)
2. Provide for a State Board of
Education of seven or nine lay men,

Several Announce Desire
For Top Legislative Posts

| sporting goods merchant won nomina
ton and election to the Senate ir
November 1856. His record, legisla-
lively speaking, is very similar to
that of MacDonald's, having an aver
age Of better than 80 per cent in the
public interest for his three terms.
Third active candidate for a top
legislative post is Rep. James Woods
| (D-Chouteau), who, Tuesday, an
nounced he would seek the House
majority leadership. Woods, three
session veteran, has twice chaired
the House Agriculture and Seating,
Mileage and Per Diem committees.
In addition he has held membership
on the Ways and Means, Highways,
and Constitutional Amendments and
Federal Relations committees. Woods,
like Macdonald and Durkee, has a
batting average" considerably in ex-
cess of 80 per cent III the public in
terest. Woods is one of the older
members of the House on the Demo-
cratic side, being exceeded in senior
ity only by Reps. Macdonald, Mike
Loughran (D-Silver Bow, John En-
mons Deer LODGE, Lloyd Barnard

Announced as available, or rumored
interested in top legislative posts in
addition to the three mentioned
above, are:
Senate Majority Leader: Sen. Dave

in the 1857 session, and Sen. Dave

Miller Asks "Top
Priority" On School
Curriculum Needs

FORSYTH - Superintendent OF
Public instruction Harriet Miller saiC
that the curriculum needs of Montana
schools should receive top priority in
the 1859 Legislature.
'No need for state educational serv-
ices is greater than the need for con-
tinuous curriculum development and
coordination. Our abrupt entrance
into the space age has made it unmis-
takably clear that the average school
program must be strengthened and
continually re-evaluated, Miss Miller
said.
Speaking at the dedication of new
Forsyth school, the state superintend-
ent said that, since 1857, the state
curriculum committees have made i'm
portant strides in revising and updat-
ing the Montana course of study.
"Only through the sustained eff
forts of school people who willingly
accepted appointment to these work
ing committees has this progress been
possible Miss Miller said. However,
much remains to be done, and we can
not expect volunteer committees to
fulfill the states entire responsibility
for the school program. A state direc-
tor of curriculum is urgently needed
to coordinate the many instructional
services of the Department of Public
instruction, and to assist the state
curriculum committees with their
task
For these reasons, the state super
said that her recommends
tions for 1859 educational legislation
will be headed by a request for the
full-time services of a state curricu-
lum director.

terror Affairs, Harlow pointed out
that at the Corps of Army Engineers
hearings on the Paradise project in
October 1857 in Missoula, seven mem
bers or candidates for the legislature
testified in support of Paradise Dam
and seven other members or candi-
dates testified in opposition. The cleo
tion results, said Harlow, showed all
seven Pro-Paradise candidates win
ming while only two of the seven who
spoke in. opposition were elected.
Recalling that Statements have
been made repeatedly by Senators,
Congressman and personnel of the
Corps of Engineers that they would
favor Paradise Dam and that it would
be built IF the people in the area
were in favor of it," Harlow told
Montana's senior senator that 81 be-
lieve the people have spoken clearly
and emphatically for Paradise Dam"
"The results in the eight counties
of northwest Montana which make a
solid block surrounding Paradise show
the strength of support for the prof.
ect,' he said, and then pointed to the
following election results:
