Education Achieved Some
Gains In 1859 Legislature

| cluding the appropriated funds, VIII
provide an estimated $3.50 of the
total foundation program for all pub
lie schools. Actually the state con,
tributes about "a % of the total schoo
operating costs through it's participa-
ton in the foundation program. Ma
tionally, state participation in local
school financing averages slightly
over 40@o of the total cost.
Four approved bills concerning cor
poration license and personal income
taxes are directly related to educa-
ton finance. The school equalization
fund that is distributed yearly to
local elementary school districts re-
ceives 25%o of the personal income
tax and corporation license tax re-
ceipts. The increased revenue pro-
vided by HBs 3O3, 307, 315 and SB
los. when distributed to Montana's
900 operating school districts, should
provide slight decrease in the reve-
nue. demands on local property taxes.
The Interest and Income fund for
schools will also receive some addi-
tional funds as a result of the state
land grazing rental fee increase
granted by approval of the controver-
sial Substitute HB 426. The measure,
after surviving several drastic amend
ments, constitutes a minimum effort
toward correcting the low fee situa-
tion that for years has produced ridic-
ulously little for schools from land
constitutionally reserved for school
purposes. (See statement by Rep.
Francis Bardanouve concerning HB
1926, on page 3-Editor.)
Three bills designed to improve the
teachers retirement system were ap-
proved and have been signed by the
Substitute HB So asked
that the $4,000 salary maximum for
contributions and benefits be re-
moved to make the teachers retire
ment system similar in that respect |
to other public employees retirement
programs in the state. The Senate |
amended the bill to provide $4,000 |
maximum and the bill became law in |

Eggs And Easter
Go Hand In Hand

Eggs and Easter have been
major parts of spring for about
as many years as people have
recorded history.
The name, Easter, is probably
pre-Christian. According to an
cient Anglo-Saxon lore, Oestra
was beautiful fairy-like god
dess of spring that brought fer
tility and new life to the earth.
Mrs. Marjorie Whitaker, nu-
triton specialist with the Agri-
cultural Extension Service, Uni

the egg has long been a symbol
of spring, new life and of things
renewed among primitive peo-

School Dance Has
Moonlight Theme

Moonlight Serenade" was
the theme for the annual spring
dance at the John Bassett Moore
High School. The gymnasium
had been decorated to carry out
the theme by the art class un-
der the direction of Thomas c.
Mulligan, Jr., instructor. Pink
and pale blue cloths covered the
tables for the cabaret-style af-
fair, and the bandstand had
been decorated in silver and
blue. The walls and doors were
covered with silver musical
notes which reflected the lights.
Potted palms were used in front
of the stand for the orchestra.
The dominant feature of the de-
corations was large mural de-
picting a bridge scene in mid
night blue colors, with silver
accents, including silver moon,
all of a material to reflect light.
The students and their guests
danced from 8 pm. to midnight
to the music of Lee Paige's or
chestra. Refreshments were
served at intermission.

Population explosion"
These are the key words in an
explosive political debate.
To demographers-the special
lists who make statistical studies
of population-the words describe
simply a rapid and dramatic in
crease in the number of people.
There is no debate about the
fact that there are now more peo-
pie than ever and that this num-
ber-presently increasing at the
rate of 10000 a day-will con-
tinue rising, barring transcen-
dental catastrophe.
This population explosion can
be described by using figures from
the Population Reference Bureau,
Inc, a private organization here
which provides population facts
and interpretations of those facts
in relation to world problems.
The 1860 world population is
estimated at 100000, 5000. Pre-
dictions are that by 1875, this fig
ure will reach 100000. 900 and
by the year 1000, zoom to $780,
000,000-more than double the
1860 figure. There is growing con-
Germ that the population growth
will outpace the earth's capacity
to produce food.

is difficult to account for all its
moods and methods, varying from
relative quiescence to the extreme
belllcosity of its course since 1858.
The country is in the throeS of a
vast and brutal revolution; shift
ing policies and changing empha-
ses seem to be part of its violent
inner dynamism.
What is clear is that Communist
China is in a posture which, in
past historical experience, has al
most invariably led to aggression.
1t has a rapidly growing popula-
ton, shortage of vital resources,
and a fanatical theology. Around
a large part of its perimeter exist
soft" situations, making infiltra-
ton, subverSion and outright con-
quest seem easy or inviting pros
poets. Moreover, it looks upon the
United States as its supreme
enemy, the one major obstacle to
its domination of the Asian conti-
nent. China's overriding political
and strategic aim is, undoubtedly,
to undermine American influence,
to separate the United States from
its friends and supporters in Asia,
and to force the withdrawal of
United States defensive forces.
Relations With Russia
The present relations between
Soviet Russia and Red China do
not lend themselves to simple
analysis. 1t is perhaps enough to
assert here that these two Com
munist countries may not always
be drawn together by common
interests. In regard to China,
the Soviets may find themselves
being committed to greater risks
than they had counted on. The
problems of dealing with coun-
tries around the border of the
Communist world, the difficulties
OF keeping China supplied with
needed capital goods, the new ap-
pearance China will present if
armed with atomic weapons
these and other factors provide
substance enough for strains in
an alliance that now seems struc-
turally and ideologically strong.
But it is not reasonable to ex-
pect such developments to reveal
themselves within a short-time
span, or in form that will nee
essarily ease the situation of the
free world. Nor can effective
results be anticipated from policies
specifically designed to drive a
wedge between Moscow and
Peiping. What we can know for
certain is that we shall be much
preoccupied over the coming

lation growth, our children will
inherit world problems far more
acute than those we now find
well-nigh insurmountable."
Overpopulation, Mr.. Cook says,
could in the long run be as de-
structive to modern industrial So
ciety as nuclear war.
There are two opposing views
about this problem:
l. The ultimate end of a grow
ing world population can only be
poverty, misery and destruction
of mankind.
2. Science will show the world
a way to feed, clothe, employ and
take care of its inhabitants.
The role of science is an i'm
portant one because its advances
in the field of preventive medi-
cine and drugs-has contributed
to the problem. For example, this
is what happened in Ceylon as a
result of a DDT malaria control
program, which began in 1947:
In three years the mortality rate
dropped 38 per cent, from 20.3 per
1000 to 1875. The 1945 popula-
ton of 6.5 million now has grown
to more than 8.4 million.
Ultimately, the approach to the
problem of overpopulation leads
to the question of birth control.
And it is around this very ques-
tion-with the pressures of widely
divergent religious. social and po-
litical viewpoints-that such furor
has been raised.

Of the country. Each day, it
seems, Mr.. Nehru is of some
where dedicating a new dam or
factory or steel mill. New indus
tries, spurred by increasing for
eign investments, are springing
up. Agricultural production made
a significant rise this year. Steel
production, which stood at is
million tons in 1853 will top 6
million when plants now under
construction are completed.
Not unnaturally, it is these
things rather than Calcutta to
which Indian leaders point with
pride. In fact in terms of what
could be produced there India
is no poor country.
Greet Mineral Deposits
With huge deposits of coal and
iron ore, other essential minerals
and oil, its industrial potential is
very great indeed. Visiting agri-
cultural experts have estimated
that with modern methods land
presently under cultivation in
India could produce two and
maybe even three times what it
yields now.
Within the limits of the money
1t can raise, India is pushing
ahead with this development as
fast as it can. The next f1ve-year
plan, starting in 1861, calls for
total capital investment of $40
