Summer Waste in Education

real teaching Job anywhere
else.
For many this will be the
summer OF discomfort, the
year of the locust.
Against the great back
ground OF national need, we
have the unimaginative hold
on the old nine-month sys-
TEN.
There is no reason at all
why a fast-learner should
spend four years In secondary
school when three years OF
IL or IL months would be
enough. Nor is there any
merit in four years Of COL
lege for the young man or
woman who can do the work
in three. This is especially
true Of those students who
wish to do graduate work.
A medical career, for ex-
ample, takes a large chunk
out of ones life. II three
years could be saved out OF
the IS years Of schooling now
necessary. it would add that
many years of greatly need
ed service to the sick.
And those who learn more
slowly? They certainly could
use the longer period Of
schooling. 1t would be more
possible to work out special
classes in remedial reading
and to search out why some
children are for a time slow
learners and then go forward
with a rush.
The spectacle Of summer
long idle, empty school,
houses is a summer-long re-
buke to us. In time we will
come to longer terms because
we must. 1t would be better
to do it gracefully and with
adequate planning.

started a one-year jail SEN
tence for possessing and selling
narcotics.
He was arrested in his home
last November Is but insisted

Superior Court Judge Mervyn
A. Aggeler first sentenced Mr..
Robinson to a five-years-to-life
term In State Prison, but sus-
pended this in favor Of the
Jail sentence and five years
probation. A year is the maxi
mum sentence in jail.

EIIender
BY the Associated Press

Senator Ellender. Democrat
of Louisiana, said yesterday q
cabinet shakeup "and other dis
turbing occurrences in Cuba
give further proof something is
seriously wrong down there"
The Senator told a reporter
Prime Minister Fidel Castro's
policies "gravely threaten the
little country's economic and
political future"
II commented some time ago
and ] repeat now. when Castro
took over the power in Cuba,
that little country simply
snapped one dictator for an
other" Senator Ellender said.
Representative Hays. Demo-
crat Of Ohio, said Cuba's Sec
rotary of state. Roberto Agra
monte, one Of those who went
out of Office, was known as AN
intelligent man. I suppose ne
and some Of the other sane
people just couldn't work with
a wild man."
Latin American experts In
/ Congress and elsewhere here
said they saw no connection
between the cabinet shakeup
and the fact that the United
States only yesterday advised
Mr.. Castro's government Of its
serious concern about the Cas-
tro agrarian reform law. There
were many. however. who
thought the agrarian law itself
may have had a part in the
cabinet shuttle.
Senator Ellender said the
State Departments views on
the agrarian law, and Mr.. Cas-
tro's plans for seizure Of large
land holdings from United
States citizens and others
conform to my views. These
confiscatory practices can leat
only to destruction Of Cuba''
production, and other grave
problems"
Mr.. Hays said the Castro
program for land seizures "fol'
lows exactly the Communists
pattern. I don't say hi
planned 1t that way. :"

Venezuela Set
ToCite TrujiI|o
Before GAS

CARACAS, Venezuela, June
10 (AP).-Venezuela moved to-
day to cite the Dominican Re-
public before the Organization
Of American States (OAS) as
a threat to peace in the West
ern Hemisphere.
Foreign Minister Ignacio
Luis Arcaya took the step after
breaking of diplomatic rela-
tons with the electromagnetic
Of Generalissimo Rafael l..
Trujillo.
Mr.. Arcaya said q white
paper" would be put before the
GAS accusing the Dominican
Republic Of conspiring against
newly established democratic
regimes in Latin America.
There were reports here that
Venezuela is lining up a num-
Der Of friendly nations for a
campaign to blacklist Mr.. Tru-
jillo in the GAS.
Reliable sources said Cuba,
Honduras, Bolivia, Ecuador
and Argentina were ready to
support the move.
Venezuelan relations with
the Dominican Republic took a
turn FOR the worse with the
overthrow of Venezuelan strong
man Marcos Perez Jimez in
January 1858.
They grew steadily worse
and reached the breaking point
six months ago when Is Do
minicans took refuge in the
Venezuela embassy in Ciudad
Trujillo, capital of the Domin-
lean Republic. &"
The Trujillo regime has re-
fused to grant the Is safe con-
duct passages out Of the coun-
try.
Venezuelan authorities yes
terday arrested the crew Of the
Norwegian freighter Tronstado
in Maracaibo after reporting
subversive propaganda abos.d

Ciudad Trujillo before coming
to Venezuela.

that he personally felt deeper
cuts might be dangerous.
President Eisenhower has
asked $50 billion for foreign
aid in the fiscal year beginning
July /. OF this amount, SIG
billion was listed for military
aid and $685. million for de-
Tense support.
House Debate to Start
The House Committee re-
duced the military aid figure
to 81, 44o, 100000 and the de-
tense support amount to $3.50
million. The House will begin
debate on the bill next week.
Military aid is the actual
hardware, such as Jet planes,
tanks and bombs, that the
United States gives its allies.
Defense support is economic aid
given to countries to support
bigger armed forces than their
economies normally would
allow.
The Senate committee was
expected to vote on the mill
tary and defense support
amounts yesterday, but it post
poned a vote until Monday.
Two Amendments Rejected
In other action, the COM
mittee:
/. Adopted an amendment
designed to pressure Latin
American countries into form
ing an international police
force under the Organization
of American States.
2. Rejected an amendment
by Senator Morse. Democrat OF
Oregon, that military funds be
denied to the Dominican Re-
public and Paraguay because
they are governed by dictators

of Montana, TO bring the In

with mixed emotions. To be
sure, all are tired. Mothers
who develop tantrums at
having the little darlings
about the house might con-
slider the teacher who has
looked into the grimy little
faces of 80 or more five days
a week for nine months.
Some teachers will go to
school to improve their rat
ings. They would be much
better off teaching at least
IL months per year and hav-
ing a sabbatical year at
agreed-upon intervals.
Other teachers in too many
States will take jobs to make
enough money to teach an
other nine months. That is
one of the shames Of our
support of public education.
In the South, at least five
States will lose a large share
Of their better young teach
ers. This will be true at all
levels, elementary, secondary
and college. State and local
school boards cannot say too
much about it. But some are
near despair. A few Of the
larger cities will hold most
Of their teaching stats. But
losses will be severe. No
teacher enjoys waiting for
the forces of massive resist
ance to close the schools in
opposition to court orders.
The really professional
teacher, with pride and am
bition to advance, will hard
ly choose the stop-gap

corning Cuba's agrarian re-
forms.
Mr.. Bonsal declined comment.
In the first note sent las
Wednesday, the United States
rejected Mr.. aCstro'S offer OF
8 million tons Of Cuban sugar
at 4 cents a pound in 1861.
The offer was generally re-
garded here as an assurance
that Cuba's sugar production
would not suffer under the
agrarian reforms which. among
other things, cut up sugar lands
and appropriated them to land
less peasants.
U. S. Concern
The second note sent Thurs
day expressed concern over in
domination features OF land
reforms insofar as they affect
appropriated American prop
critics.
Mr.. Castro said this note will
be answered through normal
diplomatic channels, but failed
to say when.
In an apparent reference tc
the note, he said agrarian re-
| form is Cuba's internal matter
adding that Cuba sis an en-
tirely sovereign country"

RALPH McGILL

Within recent days we
have all been entertained by
the traditional news stories
and pictures of jubilant chill
dren quitting the citadels OF
learning on the run.
They will not go back I'M
til September.
This doesn't make sense on
the face of things. For the
thousands Of school plants to
shut down for three months
is waste. There is no other
word for 1t. Nor is there any
really legitimate justification
for the custom Of nine
months Of school in each IL.
1t dates back to the time
when the children, and the
teachers, were needed in
agriculture. Summer was the
busy time Of planting. OF
hoeing and Of harvesting.
The late harvest crops Of
wheat and corn were handled
by letting out school when
the wheat was ripe and
when corn was hard enough
to be stored. 1t is a custom
which dates back to Ger
many, really. where the
grain is cut in late August.
Certainly there is no rea-
son to adhere to it in a time
when there, are not enough
schools and teachers. The
great increase in school
population will soon be
crowding the already over
crowded halls. forcing larger
classes and use of more and
more aids such as television
and tapes.
