Pleasant Iowa tip esd a evening july s. 1958 by Carrier 3ix per week by mall. $7.50 per year Case is certainly regrettable if not but i do not Admire Sherman Adams i Only ask that he get a fair trial. I do not need to Admire a Man to believe in essential Justice if Sherman Adams committed an offence Pluck out his right Eye. Cut off his head or do whatever is customary but it is necessary first to establish that he committed an offence. Up to the moment of writing he has not in my opinion Ever been proven to be indiscreet. Is not but t i Public Morrow s letter however designed to Del end Adams quarrel with me Over tile schools. He says. Is it possible that you Jurist mint in this Case As in your evaluation of our schools is based upon personal prejudice that at Jinn you see the world through 1 its it i co loved glasses while at other tunes you see Only with a a jaundice ii Eye Quot too i it is too serious a matter to View i our schools either with Quot jaundiced eyes a As the superintendent Sug j gets or through Rose coloured glasses such As Nero used to make him feel Good. What us involved arc not schools not superintendents be teachers but children and by now sorts of authority us Well a Layman have jumped on the band j Wagon to propose improvements in. The educational institutions of this country. There is a recent Rockefeller report on the Subj t Winch is Worth Reading. Elementary and inter Media t schools exist to provide tools to i Young people to specific a task the Chemis apart from Aid a my in the character building pro a Cess Winch is most important in the younger years my develop fax Oil it ifs. Either to proceed for it i Superior education or to engage in vocations to earn a living. There i is the additional i actor of decent citizenship if the purpose of the Bool sys j Stem is to de Little More than t it care for youngsters Between the Ages of 6 to 16 or 18, my to pro vide jobs for a multitude of teachers. Janitors and other t a of officiate then it is not Worth to reprice we have t it pay for it also at the present stage of our National development we cannot afford the Cost of ignorance therefore the school system which has gone its merry Way since the 1880 with much review but Little improvement requires re study we ought to have the Best that can be devised Fogt our children. Obviously when thousands of i children enter College who do ii Quot know their native Tongue speak it in a Gutter jargon have read lilt i of its Beautiful literature Whin their arithmetic would indicate that they have devoted Little time to an unpleasant subject and cannot take scientific courses because they have no Basic knowledge and when they know nothing of the i tory of their own count y of its system of government something is wrong. Our children do not learn foreign language not because they Are not linguists but b Ause they Start late and suffer a method of teaching which has Long been abandoned in other countries and by our military forces in War where i there was no time to waste if a Young boy or girl has to take courses in the freshman year a College which should have been completed in High school then tie High school system is inadequate instead of wasting College Yea is with High school work the colleges should decline to admit such students. I have come across student in High schools who pass their College Entrance and their aptitude tests very poorly or fail How is this possible How can a student fail a College Entrance examination which other children pass How can such children fail the College intranet j examinations More than once when children from other schools do not fail a o o the answer must lie that the schools from which they come clo not train them for College. Such schools make a wonderful show locally a Good Basket Ball team. Plenty of Peppy majorettes lots of enthusiasm in school and on the a Field a Good glee club and orchestra even an annual show but what do the kids know what Are they prepared for who has the right to waste four years of thei lives .
