Get ready
A short dozen years ago, the Paul H. Pew-
itt school was opened and it was a model op-
eration for a rural area.
The design was sound and the sp®.^e was
ample for a sparsely populated area.
Then Lone Star Steel began to grow and
more and more people from the school district
were employed by the twin Bowie county in-
dustries, Red River Arsenal and Lone Star
Ordnance Plant.
The trend of a declining population was
haMted and reversed. New people moved into
the district.
Artel in that dozen years, Pewitt school has
become crowded and the shortage of classroom
space is Incoming more acute each year.
The problem pinched last year. When the
new crop of: first graders finished registering,
there were 72 of them.
Experts sa y 25 is tile maximum number of
students which should be taught in one sec-
tion. Pewitt ha? stayed a little on the high side
of that ideal fo'r several years by maintaining
two sections in each lower grade.
But 36 in a class where a number of the
children needed more individual attention and
where the basis of an education is laid were
too many.
The school dug into its maintenance and
operation fund to afford another teacher. The
classroom was provided by taking space which
had been used for cafeteria supply storage
and furnishing it.
It was costly but there were no other al-
ternatives.
That was the situation and the solution
at the beginning of the current school term.
Another term will begin in five months
and there is no indication that the problem
will be any less severe. In fact, chances are
that it will be worse and solutions more scarce.
There is no indication that enrollment will
decline and there are no more cafeteria store-
rooms to convert to classrooms.
n 12 short years, Pewitt school has be-
come crowded beyond the point of tolerance.
The only way to cure a classroom shortage
is to build more. We may as well get ready.

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Russians use lie detector
tests to pick diplomats
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm takes a look at
lie detector machines this
week.)
Dear editar:
I've been noticing lately that
more and more people are
taking lie detector tests.
Football and basketball play-
ers take them, coaches take
them, criminals take them,
suspects take them, etc. But
more than that, I understand
business is now employing the
lie detector, and prospective
employees are sometimes re-
quired to take the tests to in-
dicate whether they can be
trusted later on.
Why some people have even
suggested that politicians take
the tests, but nothing much
has come of it. I guess they're
waiting till sturdier models of
the machines come out.
Another use for the lie de-
tector machine which nobody
else seems to have thought of
and which I offer free of
charge would be in the public
schools.
One of the worst chores of
teaching, I understand, is grad-
ing papers. My system would
eliminate this.
All you'd have to do is strap

each kid in a lie detector ma-
chine at examination time.
Then instead of asking him if
Columbus discovered America
in 1492, ask him simply if he
knows when Columbus discov-
ered America. If he says yes
he knows, the machine will
automatically record whether
he's telling the truth or not,
and an adding machine attach-
ed to it would register the
grade at the bottom of the
test.
By using the machines from
first grade through college, I
figure one billion man and
woman hours of labor each
month grading papers will he
eliminated.
I don't know whether this
is true or not, but I've heard
a rumor, which I made up my-
self, that the Russians are
years ahead of us in the use
of the lie detector machine.
For example, say the Russi-
an bosses need a few more
diplomats. They pick out a
large group of prospects and
give them detailed lie detector
tests. The men who make the
lowest score are graduated at
the top of the class.
The last thing the Russians
would want in their diplomatic
service would be a man who
had the unstable trait of tell-
ing the truth. I don't know
what brand of machine the
Russians use, but obviously
they're years ahead of us.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
