Show 2 South Cache Courier Ms? 30, i947 O R8N IIIE Advancement in Education In this Centennial year we are striving to point out and evaluate the achievements of the past hundred years in our fair state. We point with pride to our prosperous towns and cities; our great highways and modes of transportation; our farms and mines; our stores, mills and factories; and our great natural and industrial resources. Educationally also, we have made great advancement. A few comparisons will be interesting. The pioneer schoolhouse was a one-roolog cabin with dirt roof and floor. The seats were backless benches. There were no maps, charts, or other equipment or ornamentation. There were no m text hooks nor courses of study. For a long time there were no free schools; parents had to pay their children's tuition. There were few teachers. The curriculum was very Scarcely anything but reading, spelling, writing and arithmetic were taught. well-train- ed lim-fte- d. Despite these disadvantages however, there was given to the boys and girls something that carried over into their lives: honesty, dependability, moral integrity, industry and frugality, all fundamental qualities of good citizenship. which we are not making satisfactory progress. They are apprehensive about the ideals and attitudes young people are acquiring about such Program for Greece Now that PresiWASHINGTON. dent Truman has been voted his money for Greece and Turkey, he question of faces the will it Upon how he spend exactly this largely depend two things: 1. Whether we have peace or war with Russia. . Whether Harry Truman is president of the United States. Regarding the less important of these two points, it is interesting to note that the quarter billion dollars we are giving Greece will run out one year from npw, just as the 1648 political campaign is getting hot. And if Mr. Truman has to come back to the taxpayer at that time and ask for more dough for Greece, then you can writhe it down as definite that he will be a one-shpresident. If, on the other hand, the Greek program is a success, the Truman doctrine may go down in imhistory. And whats far more portant, the peace of the world may be materially stabilized. things as sexual morality, temperance, reverance for things that should be considered sacred, regard for the rights of others, respect for parents, honesty, dependability, and faith and trust in a Higher Power. It is fitting and proper that our thanks and appreciation at this, the end of another school year, should go out to all the principals, teachers, and supervisors of our county schools for the splendid work they have been doing. f Dont Blame the Car! When things go wrong it s human nature to look around for a goat, and the public has seldom, if ever, been known to nominate itself. Dr. Herbert J. Stack, director of the Center for Safety Education at New York University and one of the countrys eminent accident prevention specialists, reminds us most convincingly, however, have no one to blame but that we the public ourselves for the intolerable slaughter that has been taking place on our streets and highways. Keeps Em Guessing Gov. Melvin Thompson of Georgia didnt learn anything about President Trumans political plans for 1948 when he visited the White House recently, but he came away with a nice compliment for the people of his state. Thompson, the man who finally triumphed over Herman Talmadge during the hectic days of two Georgia governors, left the door wide open for Mr. Truman to reveal his 1948 intentions. He reported that the Georgia Democratic convention had instructed its executive committee to send a solid Truman delegation to the Democratic national conven-- 1 tion next year. Truman grinned his appreciation, but gave no hint as to whether he plans to run in 1948. In fact, he seemed more' interested in international and domestic affairs. Theres nothing so unusual about our problems, he comAil postwar periods mented. are accompanied by unrest and people clamoring for things they cant get. You have had your own probMr. Truman' lems in Georgia, added with a laugh, and I thinkj the people of Georgia are to be' complimented on the way they ban-- 1 died things. I refer, of course, to the1 famous battle of the governors. ' Without mincing words, the distinguished safety educator declares that while the past two decades have seen marvelous improvements In the motor car itself, there have been no such improvements in the drivers or even pedestrians. Those are pretty harsh words, but their author backs them up with facts that few people will find easy to duck. He shows that faulty drivers and pedestrians cause of all accidents. Then he submits a crushing bill of particulars citing four primary causes of bad driving and bad walking. nine-tent- Perhaps the greatest strides have been made In the last 35 years. A glimpse of this may be seen In the development of our two County High Schools. .There were only 4 or 5 teachers on the faculty the first year, and the first graduating class of North Cache had four members and South Cache had seven. This year there were 165 graduates at North Cache and 128 at South Cache. There are approximately thirty faculty members hi each school now. The Century has seen many changes in the concepts and aims of education and in approved methods? of teaching. There is now practically no illiteracy in the state. Statistics show that there are more university and high school students in Utah in proportion to the population than in any other state. There are more Boy Scous and more citizens listed more young men hi Whos Who In America and women sent into the arts, especially the theater, than any other state. In spite of these wonderful, achievements, however, some of our foremost educators feel that there are some phases of our education in Top billing goes to intoxication people who have been drinking dont react fast enough, cant see well enough and are unable to think clearly enough to cope with modern traffic conditions. Second place goes to emotional upsets people who are worried or angry are definitely accident prone. Daydreamers whose minds aren't on their job come next and extremes of fatigue are listed as fourth. Impatience and bravado get dishonorable mention. It is useless to argue with facts that are substantiated by statistics. Obviously, therefore, it is equally useless to blame our traffic headache on the automobiles or their makers. As Dr. Stack says, our troubles will not be cured until wef have looked ourselves honestly in the face, iut the blame where it rightly belongs, and made up our minds that all of us, drivers and pedestrians alike, have got to do better. If we dont, we must be Making Democracy Llyi Mayor McKeldln of Baltimore compelled to. recently set aside one Sunday as Honking Sunday, during j !

The marine corps commandant d made such a appeal to congress to prevent the marines being swallowed up by the army that Eisenhower sent for Vandegrift and asked him to talk things over. From a Leathernecks point of view, the meeting was not unsuccessful.
