subject-matter competency, were
given to Delaware seniors and
sophomores last spring.
"The results indicate that our
seniors compare very favorably
with those in the 222 colleges
and universities which make up
the norm group" DR.. Perkins
says. "Our sophomores COM
pare very well with their coun-
terparts in the 63 other col
leges which completely tested
their sophomore classes in 1858
SO. Our seniors when compared
with their counterparts else
where scored above 81 percent
of them in the. social sciences,
above 65 percent of them in
the humanities, and above 90
percent of them in the natural
sciences"
''Our sophomores in general
did even better! Of the So col
leges and univers tiles with
whom we can compare them,
92 percent were below our
sophomores in the social sci
ences, 81 percent below them
in the humanities, and 81 per-
cent fell below them in the ma
tural sciences (only one of the
So colleges outscored our soph-
omores in the natural scienc-
esq"
I'm the advanced tests related
to their fields of concentration
our seniors scored higher than
Sc percent of their norm group.
Seniors majoring in biology,
chemistry, English, economics,
physics, psychology and electri-
cal engineering made particular
ly good showings."
Last years testing was a pre-
liminary step in the university's
projected self-study which will
continue for the next three
years. The University of Della
ware, and all others, must be
more concerned than in the past
about the certainty, quality and
nature of its educational impact
upon undergraduates, DR.. Perk-
ins asserts. He calls for a mea-
surement of the university's
students in three major areas.
First, we want our gradu
ates to have grown in know
ledge, especially within a chos-
en- field of concentration such
as biology or art"
Secondly, both through for
NAL courses and curricular re-
quirements and through the es-
pecially enriched environment of
the campus-lectures, are exhib-
its, concerts, foreign films-we
expect students to emerge as
men and women of considerable
culture when compared with
their backgrounds upon admis-
sion."
Thirdly, we want to gradu-
ate people who will be corner
posts in our democratic society,
citizens who have a greater
than-usual sense of responsible
ity to work for the common
good, and who will voluntarily
participate in worthwhile and
necessary civic activities"
To test and measure our pro-
duct, DIR. Perkins declares, is
exceedingly expensive.
] "Only in this way, however,
he explains, "can university
be appraised whether its efforts
are sufficiently productive and
worthwhile. So guided, it car
shift about its limited resources
from less fruitful activities tc
more productive ones in order
to forward its objectives. This
is what we mean to do at the

A HAPPY. PROSPEROUS AND
PEACEFUL NEW YEAR TO ALL!
Holmes County herald., 1960-12-15

Last Friday night at the Lexington
grammar school c-feteria II Holmes
County All members were honored
win an Achievement Banquet. PROUD
par.nts of the group watched as their
y~ouagsters received awards tor their
outstanding accomplishments IN the pro-
gram. The banquet was the first OF It's
kind to be held in Holmes County, out
leaders expressed hope that 1t would
become an annual affair.
Leaders who were instrumental III pro
noting the program are to be commend
ed. Assistant County Agent Duane
Tucker and Assistant Home Agent Ann
Smith were in charge of planning n
preparing the recognition banquet
Their work could have hardly been I'M
proved upon. Other persons, including
County Agent w. L. Sullivan, offered
valuable assistance and advice. lhese
individuals performed a very worth
while service to the community and TO
the All families actually involved.
While watching the youths receive
their hard-earned honorS, we could not
help but recall a comment which Lex
ington football coach WoodSon Earle
made several weeks ago. While chape-
roning a post-game party for local teen
agers. he said. "You know, we have a
good bunch of kids in Holmes County
who don't get into much trouble, prl-
marilv because the adults take an inter-
est in their activities" Despite some
exceptions, juvenile delinquency records

as a profession" The very fact that such
professional agitatorS are now at work
in the United States is quite a cause tor
concern in itself.
The Communist Party has made spec
tacular gains in the last decade primarily
because of its high degree of organiza-
ton. If the activities of the Party and
other ultra-liberal organizations are TO be
stymied, conservative organizations must
be established. American turn-coatS dur
ing the Korean War, if we remember
correctly, were primarily individuals
with a low degree of education. Only
an educated and an informed public
will be able to realize the benefits of our
Constitutional Democracy.
There are many individuals, even in
our state, who would condemn the
projects of the Citizens Council. They
ridicule and criticize the methods which
the Council employs in "mobilizing pub
lie opinion" Although these persons do
not disagree with the ends which the
council movement seeks, they refuse to
offer their support.
No organization is perfect. No organi-
zation offers ideal leadership or alterna-
tives. The Citizens Councils, however,
are providing an invaluable service in
their public relations program. Their
facilities offer the best means by which
those of a conservative political outlook
have TO spread their views. Their work
is TO be commended.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
A-H ACHIEVEMENT BANQUET
PFREORMS USEFUL SERVICE

in the county would bear out this oo-
seryation. Programs such as offered by
All Clubs are largely responsible TOT
this record.
AT the same time, reports have 1t that
interest in All activities IN Holmes
County is not nearly what it should be.
OF course, Holmes County is the home
of the All movement. In addition, the
geographical layout of the county IS
such that interest in the program Snoulo
be at its peak here. 1t has come to GU
attention, however, that despite numer-
Gus dedicated adult leaders the program
has had a tendency to lag in recent
wears. Although enthusiasm reaches
great peaks on the part of the youngsters
and their leaders at times; it is not OF a
continuous nature.
Such should certainly not be the case.
Programs such as those offered by the
All Clubs go far toward improving the
moral fiber and integrity of the young
people involved. Each has an opportunity
TO excel in some area. Also, the 4-t1
member is given an opportunity TO eX-
Derience the unequaled sense OF pride
when he becomes proficient in his work.
The value of the program to the com
munity and TO the individuals actually
involved cannot be disputed. 1t is time
that renewed emphasis was placed on
these activities. Perhaps more such we'll
planned programs as last weeks Achieve
ment Banquet will help to accomplish
this task.

One of the most fascinating, and yet
Frightening, accounts of Communist &C
tivitv in the United States that we have
seen is presently being televised in a five
part Citizens Council Forum series. En-
titled the "San Francisco Story" the
films deal with Communist Party aglta-
ton when the House Un-Amerlcan Ac'
~tivities Committee visited that metropolis
last spring. They show how the lettist
leaders, utilizing students in large part,
were able to partially disrupt the actlvi-
ties of the committee.
Last Summer we attended the National
Democratic Nominating Convention in
Los Angeles. At that time, we saw dedi-
Gated anti-subversion leaders ridlculed by
spectator groups. In addition, demonstra-
tors outside the gigantic arena which
housed the convention demanded an
"easing-up" on anti-red activity.
1t is indeed shocking to see such &C
Invites as these being conducted IN our
own country. 1t would be easy to con-
clude that the state of California simply
has an over-abundance of radicals, and
to therefore. underestimate the slgnlfl-
ance of the demonstration. The problem
cannot be solved that easily, however.
Communism has had since its very in
ception. the goal of dominating the en-
tire world. According to Lenin, those
who are to accomplish this task are per-
O n engaged in revolutionary activities

Soil Testing
How much fertilizer are you

to use the same amount on all

If you do, you are guessing!
And guesswork costs money
when it comes to use of ferti-
Ilizer. You stand a good chance
lof using too little fertilizer and
lsome chance of using too
much. Both are Wasteful.
A soil test will take the
guesswork out of your ferti-
lizer program.
Your county agent has a
supply of soil sample boxes
and instructions for taking
good soils samples.

AS soon as the COWS quit go
