MASON ON EDUCATION
Teacher Is the Key
In Bettering Grades

| You must ask the teacher to
do only those things which he
can do.
Don't be like Joe who walked
into my office empty handed,
sat down without being invited
to do so. and said, II don't un-
derstand your course"
How could he expect me to
accomplish in 10 minutes, what
I apparently had failed to ac-
complish in 10 weeks? I didn't
even know where to start.
Try this approach for better
results:
/. Prepare for the interview.
Be ready to ask specific ques-
tions about the subject matter.
2. Bring in some written
work. If you are having trouble
solving problems, work out a
series of problems as far as
you are able to carry the solu-
tions. Leave some blank spaces
following incomplete solutions.
AS you ask the teacher for
his help, turn to the points Of
difficulty. The teacher can dis
Germ your immediate problem
and give you the help quickly
and easily.
Outline a chapter as you see
it. The teacher can then read
lily see where you need help in
your thinking.
Bring in a theme or q test
paper to be discussed.
Your Work His Clue
Having something Of your
own work in your hand as a
basis for starting the confer
ence.
You will find that he Is de-
lighted you want to learn.
3. 1t Is now your cue to make
an opening for the teacher to
contribute his advice for your
future action and his help in
formulating your plans for the
continued attack on the prob
lem of raising your grade in the
course.
The teachers in our expert
ence, when the interview has
reached this stage, have almost
to a person entered into the
game on the side of the student.
They have made helpful sug-
gestions as to the proper ap-
proach to the oncoming work
in the course. They have ar
ranged special procedures
whereby the student coud make
up to some extent for his past
low grades.
Now. YOU and the teacher are
united against the problem.
You may tDrite DR.. Mason In
care OF The EUening Star.
While he can't ans,Der questions
individually. he Dill discuss
those OF general interest in his
column.

BY LESLIE ]. MASON
Professor Of EducAtion,

University Of Southern California
Have you talked to your
teacher about your low grade?
How many times have you
heard this from father, from
mother. and from counselor?
You may say, 1--WE tried that
before. 1t does no good" You
may really mean that you would
rather not face the teacher un-
der the circumstances.
But If you want to raise your
standing in the course, the
teacher is the key person. The
teacher decides on your final
grade.
What is this teacher like?
What kind of person is he?
If he is like the vast majority
Of teachers, he wants to help
you.
He has chosen teaching as a
profession because he wanted
to teach. He went to college for
several years to prepare him
self for his work. He must en-
Joy 1t or he wouldn't stay in it
The fact that you have not
grasped a subject thoroughly
from his teaching is frustrating
to him.
Prepare for Meeting
Now, how do you approach
this person? You want this
meeting with him to produce
the best possible results.
You must be aware Of how
you look in his eyes. Maybe he
thinks you haven't cared. May
be he thinks you haven't tried
Maybe you have given him the
wrong impression Of yourself
Your interview with the
teacher will be pleasant and
productive to the extent yor
follow a constructive plan oi
approach.

SingerGets
Year for
Contempt

NEW YORK, April 4 (AP)
Pete Seeger, AZ, folk singer.
was sentenced to one years
Imprisonment for contempt OF
Congress by refusing to answer
questions about his possible
Communist affiliations.
Seeger was convicted last
week on 10 contempt counts.
He was sentenced by United
States District Court Judge
Thomas F. Murphy.
AS he entered the courtroom
with a banjo slung over his
shoulders, he waved cheerily to
more than 100 spectators who
returned his greeting.
Before he was sentenced
Seeger asked the court for per-
mission to "sing a song which
I think is apropos."
You may not" replied Judge
Murphy firmly.
Seeger appeared before the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
ican Activities in 1855 when it
was investigating possible Com
munist infiltration of the en-
tertainment field. He refused
to answer any questions about
political beliefs and associa-

barring that = a new trial.
Mr.. Kapell's widow and her
two children bowed their heads
in apparent disappointment
when the jury reported its ver-
dict yesterday.
Mr.. Kapell was 81 and one
of the great artists of his day
when he was killed in the
crash of a Honolulu-to-San
Francisco airliner which hit a
mountain while preparing to
land at San Francisco Airport
on October 30, 1858. His chill
dren were then 2 and 4 years
old.
A half-dozen famous musi-
clans testified for the family at
the three-week trial, atteSting
to Mr.. Kapell's musical bril-
lance. There was testimony
that Mr., Kapell had a poten-
tial earning capacity of $780,
900 a year.
The trial drew unusual inter-
est among lawyers because of
the question of whether the
jury would award the family
more than $8,300-the normal
amount of liability on interna-
tional flights under the War
saw Convention subscribed to
,by As nations.
The jury of eight men and
four women, which deliberated
4 hours and As minutes, re-
jected the suit entirely.
Mr.. Kapell was a passenger
on a plane of the British Com
monwealth Pacific Airways,
later taken over by Qantas Air
ways, the Australian airline.
There is an exception to the
Warsaw Convention limitation
of damages to $4,000 in most
accidents involving interna-
tional flight. The exception is
when willful misconduct on the
part of the airlines causes the
accident.
The Kapell family charged
that the pilot of the Inflated
plane was guilty of such mis-
conduct. by attempting to take
Evening star., 1961-04-04

a dangerous shortcut to a land
ing in bad weather.
Qantas contended that the
pilot-although off his course
was making an instrument
landing in what he thought
was the proper spot.
The jury verdict cleared the
airline of willful negligence in
the crash, which killed all 19
persons on the plane.
After the jury denied dam
ages to the Kapell family
their attorney. Melvin Belli,
moved to set the verdict aside
on the ground that the jury
was confused by the intricate
legal questions raised during
the trial.
United States District Court
Judge Willis w. Ritter, whose
home district is Salt Lake
City, Utah, scheduled a hearing
on the motion at Salt Lake
City tentatively for April IA.

arrived.
The body was taken to

Mr.. Cooley was taken to the

Why Is Liberalism
Falling Behind?

Editor, Peoples Voice:
| We, readers of The Voice have agar
been treated to an appeal for financia
aid to keep the Voice alive. There are
some things that / would like to say
in this regard. They are things thai
no man can say for me. The reaction
aries, who are definitely on the in
crease, can never tell what I wish tc
tell because they live by tradition AND
their goal is to return to an imagined
past that never really existed except in
their imagination, and is wholly made
quate and incompetent to impersonate
the present. 1t is near insanity to expect
a past virtue to vindicate present con-
ditions, but it is criminal error to force
such ideas of error upon future gen.
erations.
This is reason enough for liberals
to support The Voice. 1t battles reaction
and is the voice of liberality. Why do
the liberals not support it properly?
Why is the cause of liberalism, as the
proud opponent of reaction, falling be-
hind in the total picture of American
trends?
The very opposite is true in the still
larger picture of world trends. But
this presents the world, and America.
with a terrible danger because America
has special problems. We, as a nation,
pride ourselves upon a very special
strength, the strength of military might
and economic wealth. Next to this, we
pride ourselves upon two great spirit
ual fields of strength which we use to
Justify our goal or aim. These two
basic fields concern Religion and
Democracy. Our goal is ito bring these
two blessings to the rest of the world.
Liberality, in it's assorted forms, quar-
rels with reaction in how best to do
this, but never discovers that the very
goal is wrong.
There are few radicals in present day
America who go a step further and
say the goal lis wrong and we must
have new goals. How pitifully few in
number they are is well shown by the
Socialist vote. In my county of be-
tween thirteen and fourteen hundred
votes, there were five votes cast for
Socialism. My wife and l. along with
three good friends whom i have known
for half century, cast these five votes.
This proves my contention that radi-
Gals are as scarce as hens teeth.
In a nation governed under demo-
cratic forms, public opinion is every
hing. 1t is pretty much the power in
my nation, as present day revolutions
and unrest show. Only the voice of
'adicals can save America. Do you want

Corporations May Gain
Some Tax Relief If
DVksira Bill Enacted

HB 80, allowing corporations to
file consolidated tax returns will cost
the state a guesstimated $4,000 a
year. but will contribute to the better
business climate, the House was told
last Saturday by Dan Dykstra (R-
Lewis & Clark, chief sponsor of the
bill. 1t will do much to keep corpora
tions from going broke, he said.
The original loss will come by al
lowing a winner to take over a
loser" and by assimilating the losses
the winner may pay less taxes, he
said.
At present the State Board of
Equalization determines whether this
practice is permitted. The bill takes
the discretion away from the board.
While there was less debate on this
bill than on many the vote ON third
reading was 40 for the bill and 40
against.

Co-ops Do Pay Taxes
Dear Editor:

| Dear Editor
| Co-operatives do pay taxes. Farmers
Union Central Exchange paid $226,978
| in property taxes for 1860 in Yellow
stone county, ranking second high,
topping several large businesses. Those
coop dollars support local, county and
! state governments and public schools
Farmers Union GTA is also a substan-
tial taxpayer in Montana, often in
creasing taxes paid on property ac-
| quired through voluntary sale. Coop
taxes can be verified in the county
treasurer's office
Co-ops openly report their accounts
receivable and pay taxes on them.
On business done for and with mem
bers co-operatives have no net income.
Bylaws establish the contractual rela-
ton each coop has with it's member
patrons and require the coop to allo-
cate and refund to members any saw
ings above costs of doing business.
Patronage dividends are a liability to
the coop and liabilities are not tax
able. Refunding in cash or deferred
depends on stakeholder decision in
annual meetings or bylaws provisions
CO-Operatives do report for income
tax savings realized from those occa-
siOnaI transactions of unusual BUSH
ness with non-members. Farmers
report i'm their own returns local and

Most of the coop dollars are spent
with Montana businessmen.
1t is interesting to note that while
stockholders in regular corporations

tax exemption, coop stockholders do

small business corporation law permits
stockholders and not the corporation
to pay income taxes on business earn
ings.
Regional and local co-operatives are

200, 900 farm families in an area marked
by the Rockies on one side and the
Great Lakes on the other. These co-ops,
small compared to many competitors,

owned family farms and ranches.
Records show impressive govern
industry, overshadowing benefits to
family farmers.
Farmers and ranchers pay a high
share of the states taxes, unable to
shift them as others can do. Raising

ind sell at wholesale, enduring a most
unusual business situation. And they

Drivers Mug Shots
Would Cost Motorists
$93,500 Annually

Zone of the best pieces of legisla-
ton to come before this legislature"
Rep. Beam (R-Yellowstone) said of
his HB 342 which requires your pic
ture ON your drivers license.
The passage of this legislation
would increase the cost of driver 5
license from $500 to $3.50. 1t will
take most of the extra fifty cents
for county officials to get the equip
ment necessary to impose your mug
shot, on your license when you apply
for it.
Each time, you will have new
picture taken.
There was opposition to the bill
on the basis of adding another cost
and providing someone who handles
the leased equipment with good
racket.
Your license will serve other pur-
poses of identification as well, pro-
ponents said. Revealed in the debate
was the fact there. are "rings" oper-
ating in the state who are forging
drivers licenses, by unique meth
ods'.
Rep. Kolar (R-Judith Basin) the
strongest opponent to the bill, said
he didn't think the abuses of the
present set-up were so great that it
was necessary to create new pro-
gram that is going to cost the people
of Montana about $93,50O a year.
