Dalton MOST CHARITIES WANT people to give until it hurts. But the American Red Cross doesn't want your money they want your blood. And they say it doesn't "hurt" all that much. THE BOX ELDER County Red Cross will conduct a blood drive Friday from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Bear River Valley Senior Center (old McKinley School) in Trenton-toWe urge northern county residents to support the blood drive. Similar blood drawings in the past have drawn disappointing response. RED CROSS OFFICIALS point out that last year 158 units of blood were used by patients at the new Bear River Valley Hospital. But residents from this area donated only 89 units to the Red Cross which supplies much of the blood to the hospital. People from elsewhere in Utah had to supply the extra blood. PEOPLE SOMETIMES question when they give cash is money to charities whether their being spent wisely. sometimes with good reason. But it is difficult for us to see how anyone could question how - n. hard-earne- - d Red Cross blood is used. And, an Individual's check book balance should have little bearing on his or her willingness to give blood. FINALLY, THE person who donates to a charity often does so knowing that very likely he will never have to avail himself of the services of that charity. But a donation of blood to the Red Cross is like money In the bank, figuratively speaking. It may be withdrawn at some future date to help save the life of your wife, a son or daughter or other relative ....or even you.

Yet during his administration the unemployment spiral continues upward with no apparent relief in sight. At the same time the Carter forces in Congress are pushing for an increase in the minimum wage which the Secretary of Labor, himself, says increase will ment. The Chamber unemploy- United States of Commerce Economist, in Chief testimony before the ""Senate Human Resources Subcommittee on Labor, said, "830,000 people will immediately lose their jobs if the minimum wage is raised from $2.30 to $2.65 an hour. And if the Carter plan is followed through 1980, it will cost the nation 3.4 million jobs -- - mostly young people." Youth unemployment has remained stubbornly above 15 percent for the past three years, and in Utah the youth unemployment rate is estimated at 16.5 percent. Nationally, among black young people averages unemployment over 40 percent and in isolated areas figures of 60 Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with children, either in groups or individually, soon comes to the realization of the singular differences of each child. These differences present the educator with an individuality that must be dealt with instead of analyzed. The purpose of a school is to nurture the desire for knowledge, inspire the quest for learning, and to enhance the opportunities that encourage the inquisitive individual intelligences. In light of the growth of this country, it must be admitted that the educational opportunities provided for the youth have been considerable. However, when viewed in comparison to what can be done to allow individual achievement, the record of educators has been poor. If our goals were to restrain the attainment of personal potential and to regiment thought, then we have done very well. We have been so fearful of what the undisciplined may do, we have chained all students to a lock-ste- p program in order to insure control. We have believed this practice to be wise, not only because of mass population control, but also because our educational accomplishments compared with those of other countries have shown us to be leaders. However, just as athletic records look good only until they are surpassed, many of America's educational track scores are in jeopardy. The mile was not possible until someone ran it and reading 1,000 words per minute was not possible until someone did it. Children come to us at age five with a tremendous desire to learn and to achieve, and with very little fear of failure. In a very short period of time, and 70 percent are not uncommon. One proposal to offset the inevitable unemployment that will come as a result of the increased minimum wage is a "youth differential," more commonly called a wage. This program would allow business to hire young people for a short period of time at less than the minimum wage so they could be trained to do their jobs at a level that would justify the minimum wage. To protect the youngsters, businesses would be closely monitored to prevent work force turnovers with strict , penalties for those who abuse young people to gain windfall profits. Everyone who earns a minimum wage would like to earn more. Everyone wants to get ahead. But there is false economy in this minimum wage increase because some people are going to lose their jobs, and our youth will be denied work experiences which are so valuable for their future - JEFFERY MCMURDIE won a $10 gift certificate by winning first place . . in the Columbius coloring contest. Contest Winners Are Listed IT'S A PARTY I m , -- " ( self-testi- Dr. Madeline Hunter, of UCLA, conducts an outstanding training program for teachers to assist them in their efforts to diagnose and prescribe individually for pupils. In her program, objectives are truly determined with each child in mind, and a learning activity is prescribed specifically for that child. In this program, if the child which curriculum performance communicates with all concerned and allows and encourages individualized instruction. degrees. Instead, the physician reaches up on the shelf and prescribes an individual learning activity; and in most cases, some advice is also given. At a later date, the physician uses that same pretesting device to measure improvement. If he finds there is little improvement, he will not declare either himself or the patient a failure; but rather, he will prescribe another learning activity or a series of other tests to determine if the objective of a 98.6 degrees temperature is a sound expectation for the patient. He may discover that the metabolism is such that he must alter his objective. In either case, the objective or the prescription is altered. If physicians were to function as educators, patients that came in on Monday would be treated for hernias, or given a shot of penicillin, regardless of their need, because that happened to EXPERIENCE THAT MAY HELP TO ACHIEVE THE SCHOOL'S PURPOSE four-minu- te By U.S. Senator Orrin G. Hatch failed to achieve the objective, then one of two things was wrong: Either the objective was not correct for the child or the prescription was wrong. Nowhere was it mentioned that the child made a mistake. Teachers are afraid of this kind of language because it sounds like the old indictment, "If the student fails, the teacher has failed." But this is not necessarily what is being said here. The following analogy may help clarify this thought: When one visits a physician, that physician has a particular performance he expects from the patient which he will accept as evidence of good health. He might say, "Given a thermometer, you will register a temperature of 98.6 degrees." Then he places a "pretest" under the tongue and compares the results of the pretest with his objective. No one ever accuses the patient of making a mistake because he registers a temperature of 101 schools become very successful in instilling this fear of failure in every child. This is done through a series of embarrassing situations in which the child gradually discovers that he will look better in the eyes of his peers if he just refuses to try. By the time a child reaches sixth grade, our school society of critics has generated a class of "won't F's." The "can't F" soon learns that there is status to being an F student if he refuses to try, because no one is sure whether he can perform or not; whereas, there is nothing but ridicule in store for the "can't F." Instead of a school being a place where mistakes should be made, it becomes an unhappy place for the Charlie Browns and Peppermint Patties. Where else but in our "schooling societies" should mistakes be made? Everyone says, "We learn from our mistakes," but very few believe it enough to allow it to. happen in a learning, atmosphere. Lest it be misunderstood, it should be emphasized that mistakes should not be encouraged, but ATTEMPTS should be rewarded, regardless of the outcome. It is only in this way that the child will attempt again and again and truly learn from what we now refer to as mistakes. Superintendent ratio that patient-practition- physicians enjoy, nor the modern media to facilitate learning, they can have a curriculum that accommodates persall concerned. onnel can be provided to assist with the instruction process as is often the case in hospitals and medical centers. One reason hospitals have considerable volunteer help is that they function on a performance curriculum. Almost all required activity in a and-o- r measurhospital is observable able. By the same reasoning, schools do not have volunteers that medical groups enjoy because what the teacher wants done with children is either yet to be formulated in the teacher's mind or hidden for no one to see not even the "patient."
