Show The; Paper That Dares To Take A Stand September 23, A CORNER ON By Erma J. By Boh Christensen This week we will analyze further the differences between traditional and progressive education from a chart published by The Long House, Inc. The chart was published for ( I ) those citizens who assert there is something wrong within the schools themselves, (2) those who assert there is NOTHING wrong in the schools, and (3) those who hesitate to believe that things can be as bad as they are painted but who, nevertheless, have open minds on the subject. The third group is rapidly increasing. DIVISION OF SUBJECT MATTER (traditional): ...history, geography, civics and current events are taught separately. Aims: To present in each field knowledge properly organized and offered in logical sequence. ...full ap (progressive): of the plication experimental method finds these subjects presented under a general classification, called social studies. The separate teachings of civics disappears. Arguments in favor: ...the interrelations of the studies Trend: (progressive) of man. ...the daily democratic climate creates an attitude receptive to: (1) group initiative, (2) group thinking (the individual is subordinate), (3) conformity-- of expression and opinions, (4) cooperative sub- missiveness, (3) loyalty to group, or herd ideas, (7) gradual diminution Erma J.

Aim: To convey as much information as possible, and to develop the childs own power to use facts and search out more facts when his reasoning tells him he needs them. (progressive): ...as each new area of learning comes up, the class is divided into committees, each of these deciding in which part of the topic it wants to work in activities or projects which relate in some way to the topic under consideration. Such projects may include making butter (Holland) and paper (England).

Kccsc Hunter Silver and Cold COINS Any Quantity COIN CORPORATION Phone 211 East 3900 South 262;5S1A Salt Lake City, Utah Greshams Law, that bad money drives good money out of circulation, is what we saw happen as our once good silver coins were driven out of circulation by our silver covered copper coins. But have you noticed that Greshams Law also applies to the news? Bad news drives good news out of circulation, the bad things people' do get far more attention than the good people do. The only exception is in stage two, when really bad people do something good, like collectors treasuring specimens of bad money or others treasuring something good about Communists and criminals. Kahn Freedom is a fragile thing. It is difficult to obtain, easy to lose. ..More nations have fallen because of their inner moral and economic than decay, before the cadence of the feet of an marching adversary. -- The Honorable Meldrim Thomson, Jr. Governor of New Hampshire :: Salter Doesnt anyone really care about our present posture? I felt badly when I saw Great Britain go to her knees. Especially since we helped put her there but our great nation oh, yes, were still standing, but our legs are shaking badly. The think tanks are great at scenarios so I think Ill try one for size. Suppose Russia was to shake a large club at us, how do we stand tana complex (about 20 of the This nation used to have large USA ACBM total) casualties food reserves but we shipped most could go anywhere between 20,000 to 3 10,000. If they hit all of of them to Russia, the only possible enemy we had to fear. By 1974 the SACs ICBMs and bombers, as U.S.D.A. had so few stockpiles well as the Navys ballistic missile remaining that there wasnt enough sub bases the toll could be anywhere from 3,200,000 and for the relief of localized disasters.
