Thornwell F. H. A.
Meet, Plan Activities
\
The March meeting of the Thorn-
weli chapter Future Homemakers
of Amenca was held at the high
school March 4
Miss Lillian Cookson, president,
led the opening ceremonies. A pro
gram on the meaning of the FHA
emblem, pin and flower was pre
sented by eight members of the
tenth grade. Mrs. James Camp ex
plained the organization’s degree
program and the requirements for'
these.
Scrapbooks were completed to be
presented at the bi-county meeting
at Ford High School, Laurens, on
Friday, March 7, at 4 o'clock. The
Thornwell chapter is entering all
FHA contests.
Miss Jane Wofford was elected to
run for state second vice-president
and Miss Jenny McClellan for dis
trict reporter at the bi-county meet.
Songs were sung for the FHA and
a movie, ’ Beauty and The Bride,”
was shown.

Congress gets out of
session this time, there is going
to be a lot of effort put forth to
secure millions or toUlions of fed
eral tax funds for education on
premise that to meet Russian
development in rockets, more
money should be spent.
* • •
Tet, It Is p< rhaps time
go deeply into
just how effi
cient are Amer
ican education
methods befor»
letting loose a
lot more
money.
*• • •
There is no|
question the
American peo
ple spend more c. w. Harder
for youth education than any
other nation, past or present.
Y’et. as evidenced by the Russian
technological advances, such
huge expenditures do not seem
to be doing the maximum either
for the youth or the nation.
• • •
For one thing, a system hss
been developed whereby thou
sands of youngsters might truly
be said to go to school only to
eat lunch.
• ao
Educational pressure groups,
a few decades ago, in their zeal
to build up the educational pro
fession, were responsible in get
ting passed a nurfiber of laws in
most states that militate against
an efficient educational plajU.
• • • *
Many states now hav>. laws that
make it compulsory for a young
ster to attend school until attain
ing the age of 18, or until gradu
ating from high school. There is
nothing that can be done but to
keep studies at a sufficient low
level so dull student can some
how manage to stay In school.
• o *
Thus, that percentage of the
nation's youth that could develop
into brilliant scientists, and other
professional people, are held
(g) NbIIooaI P*d«ntiofl of Independent Bus Intis
back by a course of study set at
a low level. Thus, harnessing the
turtle together with the hare can
have no result but developing in
time a group of low speed hares,
see
And In all the hue and cry for
trained physicists. It seems to be
widely overlooked that Russia
must also have some pretty com
petent machinists, metal work
ers, and other craftsmen. It is
pretty well substantiated that
only the brightest and most in
dustrious students in Russia get
classroom privileges.
a • •
Those who are not competent
to become, for example, theo
retical physicists, are encouraged
to become skilled at a trade.
• * •
And it also seems obvious that
thousands of mediocre white col
lar workers turned out each year
by the present American educa
tional system would be much
happier in learning a trade. Of
course, the unions have more or
less frowned on any apprentice
ship system,
o * a
And it also would seem quite'
obvious that the same talent that
can be developed into a machin
ist capable of turning down a
hard steel shaft to a tolerance of
100 one-thousandths of an inch is
quite often not the same talent
that can memorize the exact data
of the battle of Hastings.
• « «
With eyery local tax bill show
ing a sizeable amount for local
schools, this rigid examination
of the purposes of American edu
cation should undoubtedly start
at the grass roots level.
* • *
It appears nation’s taxpayers
ark being tapped billions of dol
lars in an attempt to jam square
pegs into round holes.
o*o
After all, you ran jam a lot of
poetry appreciation courses at a
kid who would much rather bo
building an engine, and still end
up with a kid who lactai any
skills and still doesn't like poetry.
