10 Publish Tales Of
Grand Traverse Region

Vinegar Pie and Other
Tales of the Grand Traverse
Region will be published
this week June 26) by the
Wayne State University
Press.
Containing over 200 pages
Of text and u descriptive
photographs, the book is a
lively collection of tales and
anecdotes about the Grand
Traverse region of Michigan
and the pioneers, lumber
Jacks, sailors and others who
made - and are making -
its history.
The author, AL Barnes, a
practicing newspaperman in
the area for many years,
knows his subject well, and
many of the stories included
in this volume appeared orig
inally under his by-line in
the Traverse City Record
Eagle.
The book is divided into
five sections. The first two
deal with Traverse City and
the people and towns of
Grand Traverse County. The
next two sections of the book
deal with events in Leelanau,
Benzie, Wexford, KalkaSka
and Antrim Counties. The
concluding part of the book,
called Beneath Fathoms OF
Water" is about the shops
and sailors Of the Great
Lakes that put into Grand
Traverse ports.
The title of the book,
Vinegar Pie and Other
Tales" stems from an old
lumberiack recipe for vine
gar pie, which tastes much
like lemon pie.

High School Grouping
Can Aid Students

ANN ARBOR- Americans
all want their children to re-
ceive the same high quality
of instruction which Euro
pean countries provide for
about 20 per cent of their
youth. declares Prof. Ralph
{. Wenrich, chairman of The
University of Michigan De-
partment of Vocational Edu-
cation and Practical Arts.
Professor Wenrich spent four
months last spring studying
education in France, Spain,
Italy, Austria, and Germany.
IF we are TO achieve this
in the comprehensive high
school we must recognize, as
we have never done before,
the wide range of differences
among Youth, he says.
I'VE must identify and
nurture the special talents
which each student has. We
must group youth within the
comprehensive high school,
according to abilities, inter
eStS, and vocational goals.
for many of their learning
experiences"
Does this violate fhe demo-
cratic principle of equality?
Wenrieh doesn't think so.
Our concern should be for
equality Of opportunity. To
give all youth equal edvca-
fionai opportunity does not
mean that we must provide
for all the same education"
Wenrich feels II would be
possible TO organize the COM
prehensive hiah school in
such a way as TO achieve
some of the strengths OF spe-
cialized schools, yet at the
same time retain the advan-
fsses Of having all boys and
girls In a given community
