An ambitious program for
improving the public schools
through the appropriation of
SiO6,OO0.O00 in the next bien-
mum will be introduced to the
1861 Legislature, and includes
the enactment of law estab-
fishing a statewide program for
gifted children; cost of the lat
ter program is placed at S444,-
600 for l96l-62 and S5O4 900
for 1928.
Could this money not be
better used 10 develop pro-
grams for average students,
some local educators are ask
ing
As the money TO pay for the
proposed bill will be paid for
by the general public, in all
fairness, should not the chill
dren of the common taxpayer
share equally in educational
improvements.
The world evolves around
average people" one teacher
thinks. There are very few
superior people in the world;
most people are average, and
these people are the ones for
which the world is geared," he
added.

Check On Your Farm

"The best time to fight fire is
before il starts" advises VIM IL.
Henderson, county agent. A fire
prevention check on your farm is
very important.
Your first and most important
line of defense is clean farm.
Dispose of inflammable junk you
may have collected in the barn,
garage or other outbuildings. BE
sure your electrical system and
appliances are in tip-top shape.
Then be prepared, says the a
gent. Have adequate fire-fighting
equipment handy. Here's a list TO
check in regard TO this second
line of defense:
/. Have an adequate supply of
water for fire trucks and portable
pumps.
,. Keep approved fire exiting
uishers conveniently placed near
all danger spots-this goes for
your barn, machine shed, storage
tanks of gasoline and kerosene.
g. Recharge extinguishers when
by the manufactur-
er.
4. Keep garden hose and water
buckets at various places in and
around buildings.
5. Have ladders available in or
der to reach the highest windows
and rooftops.
s. Keep the telephone number of
your nearest fire department han
dy for quick reference
