Problems Of Small Schools:
Should Texans Be Worried?
. .1
WITHIN THE LAST 10 years the number of school
districts in Texas has been reduced from 4,474 to few-
er than 1,700 but about one-seventh of those 1,700 are
considered too small to provide the services intended.
As a matter of fact, as late as 1956 Texas had 141
one-teacher school districts. More up to date figures
are not available but the trend of the small schools
seems not to have changed remarkably since then.
The price they’ll pay for crude
oil has been cut in parts of Texas
and New Mexico by some refin-
eries.
Several big producers have cut
their selling price for crude gf
in Venezuela. Rumors of similar
cuts to come are being heard in
parts of the Midwest.
Demand for oil products has
risen each year since the war,
but the rate of rise has slowed
in the last two years. At the same
time the industry’s capacity to
produce has continued to grow at
borne — and especially abroad.
Various state authorities have
cut back the amount that Ameri-
can wells are allowed to produce.
And the federal government has
tackled the problem of holding
down oil imports — without no-
tably pleasing either the oil im-
porters or the American produc-
ars.
Recently the Communist coun-
tries have entered the picture
with sale in this country of resid-
ual oil—heavy fuel oil for indus-
try and shipping — and benzine,
an oil product. . I
Light fuel oil, used in homes,
has risen in price during the win-
ter season of greatest demand. So
has the price of kerosene. And
even with that season now ebbing,
some refiners are muttering that
they can’t absorb the cost of the
new wage boosts either for fuel
oil or gasoline.
' Stocks of gasoline normallv rise
in winter, since the refineries
must turn out unneeded gasoline
to produce the heating oil they
can sell. But supplies, though
large, are seven per cent below
those at this time a year azo. And
if soring isn't too far behind, in-
creased motoring is counted upon
to bring stocks down to reason-
able levels.
Profit margins are something
ewe it may take a manta® Pe%-
up in demand to offset the rising
operating costs.
In his note to Eisenhower ask-
ing hospital leave,- Dulles said
"Id like to devote a few weeks
to physical recuperation" and,
since he'd be in the hospital
awhile he added, he could use the
time thinking about the West
Berlin problem still to be settled
with the UJ.S.R.
Dulles brushed off any Idea that

Nothing major is wrong with American schools un-
less it is a complacency on the part of the public.
But the standards of quality, even in an area the size
t of Texas, vary widely. Most of those standards could
be improved.

"With the state now pouring more than 300 million
dollars a year into our school aid program, and now
being asked by the Hale-Aikin Committee to put an

Grand Prize For Congress:
The Undecided Voter Bloc

The politicians figure there are

capilol’kllsdendtngzrintsondinacoingbswheh
Many Texans will be wary of such words on the bas-
is that the school in many of the smaller communities
is the last remnant of perhaps a once flourishing and
growing town. School activities, the center of many
a rural community, are unmatched except for church
activities. That’s the main reason so many rural resi-
• dents won’t even consider parting with the identity
of their school as far as consolidation is concerned.
That argument is not wholly without basis, yet more
and more it is becoming hollow. Dr. James B. Conant,
the distinguished educator who has just completed a
detailed study of American high schools, concludes
that a good education is all but impossible for students
in a high school with graduating classes of fewer than
100 students. The basis for this contention is the
facilities needed—as well as the funds for other teach-
ing aids—-are simply not adequate for the type of edu-
cation most of us prefer to attach to a high school
diploma. You can aak almost any student who's at-
tended a small high school and then a larger one and,
no doubt, you’ll find the best testimony available on
this point
if that is the case, what is Texas to do in its far-flung
environs where consolidation might require many,
students to spend several hours per day getting to and
from school?
Forced consolidation would be the simplest means
of battering schools—on the surface—but would be the
least likely plan to gain approval. Certainly, wide-
spread public approval would be needed in such a vast
social change, for consolidation would be a major social
change in many of the rural communities.
For that reason, if Texans are convinced that educa-
tion can be vastly improved on a state-wide basis, resi-
dents in the hundreds of smaller school districts them-

WASHINGTON (AP)-Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles ap-
proaches illness like a conference
with the Soviets: it will be a prob-
lem, but he has his plans made
and it won’t last forever, and
when it is over he will have other
problems.
Despite physical setbacks which
would have floored other and
younger men, President Eisen-
hower, M, and Dullee, 70, have
treated their serious illnesses like
temporary discomforts.
OPTIMUM
Eisenhower, who has had a
heart attack and an intestinal
operation, and Dulles, who has
had surgery for cancer and now
faces a hernia operation, seem to
look upon the secretary’s latest
hospitalization with great opti-
mism.
The White Huse has denied not
only firmly but picturesquely
speculation that Eisenhower has
been discussing with his associ-
ates the possible retirement of
Dulles.
Eisenhower's press secretary,
James Hagerty, is the one who
gave picturesqueness to the de-
nial although his figures of speech
were mixed: "I can say it (the
speculation) was completely cock-
eyed. doubled in spades."
Before he went into the hospital

sion his hernia operation wouldn't

UNPARDONABLE ERROR
Others will overlook or pardon al-
most any grammatical error (even
one as obvious as "between you
and I") except the misuse of verbs.
One “I taken." "I throwed," "I
seen," "I drunk” marks you as a
person of little education.
There are almost 1,000 verbs in
the English language but only
about 300 of these need to be stud-
ied. It is worth your while to study
these.
Remember that there are no
forms throwed, growed, blowed,
drawed, swang. brung, busted
Never use these words.
Read aloud the following forms
until you are positive you know
them. Correct speech is largely a
matter of training the ear.
Yesterday I went, I took, I grew,
I rang, I swam, I did, I came, I
fell, I ran*, I threw. I drank. I
began, I asked, I blew. I swung,
I sat. I ate, I lay, I sang.
Today I have come. I have seed,

BEDFORD, VA., BULLETIN: "Out in Colorado
several weeks ago a 10-year-old boy calmly drew bead
with a deadly weapon on a woman as she walked home
from a bus stop and inflicted a severe wound. Ques-
tioned by officers he told them that he had seen a
woman shot on TV in much the same manner and
thought it would be fun to duplicate that performance.
In Denver a juvenile court judge said: ‘kids get a
steady diet of violence on TV. Even those in Juvenile
Hall Detention quarters, they got the idea that the
way to escape is to hit somebody over the head’."
"The “IT’ is that Dulles is eway
up in years, illness has piled up
on him, and he has worn himself
down in his service as secretary.
Therefore it's possible he will not
respond physically aa well as he
and Eisenhower appear to think
be will.

happens — it is pretty dear that
