We share U.S. Education
Secretary William Bennett’s
frustration over how to edu-
cate the “worst 5 or 10 per-
cent of the public school stu-
dents,” but we have some res-
ervations about his proposal
to have them enroll in the na-
tion’s Catholic schools, which
would then receive state or
local funds for educating
them.
The proposal immediately
runs into constitutional prob-
lems that would result from
the use of public funds to pay
for the education of students
in private, religious schools.
Apart from that major hur-
dle, however, is the question
of whether Catholic schools
could do a better job of edu-
cating these students than
have the public schools.
There is no question that the
nation’s Catholic schools have
done an outstanding job edu-
cating their 2.5 million stu-
dents, including the 22 per-
cent of minority students,
many of whom live in the
inner city where public
schools have often failed.
Having acknowledged that,
however, can we now jump to
the conclusion that Catholic
schools could do a better job
with the “worst 5 or 10 per-
cent” of the public school stu-
dents? No. In comparing pri-
vate schools in general with
public schools we often over-
look a fundamental differ-
ence between the two sys-
tems — that public schools
are required by law to accept
any student who walks into
the classroom while private
schools select who is admit-
ted. Private schools can and
do quickly expel troublemak-
ers while public schools must
go through a more cumber-
some expulsion process that
usually results in more class-
room disruption.
Private school students in
Catholic and other facilities
are usually more motivated
because their parents must
make a substantial effort to
keep them in the school —
whether they pay tuition, ar-
range for a scholarship, or
participate in school and/or
church activities. Parental
motivation and higher expul-
sion rates have played signifi-
cant roles in those instances
where inner-city public
schools have had spectacular
success in raising achieve-
ment levels.
Public and private educa-
tors, however, still have yet
to discover how to educate
the student who does not want
to learn or even be in school
and whose parents do not
care whether their child goes
to class. When it is discovered
how such students can be
motivated, both public and
private schools may be able
to reach the “worst 5 or 10
percent.”

Repetition and fatigue can lead to
errors.
Patients should check with their
personal physicians concerning
paps and where the screening is
taking place.
Pap smears are extremely im-
portant and should be a part of the
annual examination under the ad-
vice of your physician.

A crowd estimated at be-
tween 250 and 300 persons
attended the annual Cooke
County Fat Stock Show here
Tuesday, termed by County
Agen Neil Tibbets as “one of the
most successful we’ve ever
had.” A grand champion calf,
hog and lamb were picked by
judges, who awarded numer-
ous blue, red and white ribbons
to the participating 4-H and
FFA members. Grand Cham-
pion Calf went to an animal
owned by Anthony Dresser of
the Gainesville Boy’s 4-H Club;
Top Swine Award went to a pig
raised by Paul Hess, a Lindsay
Senior 4-H member; and the
Number One Sheep Award
went to one raised by Cecil Mc-
Farlin Jr. of the Valley View
FFA.
To the editor:
Women taking pap smears in
Gainsville should be reassured of
quality control since these smears
are read and classified by our local
pathologists at Gainesville Mem-
orial Hospital.
Recent TV and newspaper ar-
ticles have reported errors by
large, high volume labs where
screening is performed by tech-
nologists who screen 150 to 200 paps
perday.
