The principle of equal op-
portunity" is being twisted
around to mean something
else in our schools.
In an attempt to give
everyone an equal opportu-
nifty, our schools too often
try to force equality. They
are designed for the aver
age" Almost all educational
problems arise from the at
tempt to make up for the
individual differences of those
who aren't average.
The schools might come
much closer to providing
children with really equal
opportunity if they were re-
designed to permit all chill
dren to develop according to
their individual differences.
They haven't been, and the
public is as much to blame as
the schools.
Many schools have tried to
set up this kind Of plan, but
have given up. It's not be-
cause such plans don't work
to the advantage of all chill
dren. It's because of public
pressure. Parents have such
tremendous drive for their
own children that they in

the most advanced group.

They will range from 4 years,
9 months to 6 years old. Some

New Winter Out
For Delaware

A new winter Oat variety NOR
LINE is being recommended by the
University of Delaware, according
to DR.. William H. Mitchell, Uni
versity agronomist. This variety is
quite winter-hardy and yields bet
ter than the ones commonly being
used.
The NORLINE variety won't
push the winter Oat region much
further north he said, but it will
protect growers who have had
winter-killing in the past.
Records accumulated during the
past three years indicated a ten
bushel advantage for NORLINE
over any other winter oat variety.
In addition. it has fairly still
straw, is short, and produces
grain of relatively high test
weight. according to Mitchell
The seed is available for plant
ing this fall, but it should be plant
ed early. Right now is plenty late,
he said.
The other winter oat varieties
| recommended for Delaware are

A touch of fall is in the air

g. Improvise stretcher to move
the victim from the field to the
nearest auto or truck. Much harm
can be done in improper transpor-
tation of a wounded hunter.
f. Speed is important in. getting
to doctor in cases of chest or
facial injury and in urinary tract
damage. Otherwise the urgency is
not so great and gentle transport

wise to summon a physician to the
scene.
s. Avoid a common error of by
