Article discusses
educational aid
Massive federal aid to public
education is likely to result in
inefficient local school systems
and careless use of financial
resources, two Newberry Col
lege professors contend in an
article scheduled for publication
in the January issue of The Ed
ucational Forum.
Federal air creates “new and
Gargantuan problems” not en
countered in locally financed
school systems, Dr. James F.
Cummings and Dr. James R.
Rinehart say. They call con
tinued massive injections of fed
eral money into local school dis
tricts “highly questionable and
disquieting to say the least.”
Dr. Cummings heads the New
berry College department of ed
ucation, while Dr. Rinehart is in
charge of the department of e-
conomics and business admin
istration. Their paper is en
titled, “Burgeoning School Bud
gets and Economic Scarcity.”
Local public opinion and the
power of the ballot compel
school administrators to estab
lish acceptable priorities in the
use of local funds, the authors
argue, whereas federal plan
ners are less restrained in their
spending:
“One of the advantages of
having the financial rein on the
educational enterprise in the
hands of local citizens is that
they can withhold funds when
they feel the money is being
spent unwisely.”
Few adequate guidelines ex
ist for federal spending in ed
ucation, Cummings and Rine
hart assert. They admit local
planning is far from perfect,
but say it is gentrally more re
alistic than federal planning be
cause of the pressure of tight
local budgets.
The Educational Forum is a
journal published by Kappa Del
ta Pi, national honor society in
education.
Pine plants
available to
4-H clubbers
The distribution of nearly
15,000 pine seedlings to 4-H
Club members in this county
has just been announced by for
estry officials of West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Company, of
Charleston, S. C.
The little pine trees, part of
Westvaco’s “Seedlings For
Youth” program will be plant
ed by boys and girls through
out South Carolina as part of
their individual forestry pro
jects. This year these youth
groups will plant enough trees
to restock over 1125 acres of
cutover timberland-this is an
area equivalent in size to a 30-
mile strip of one of our modern
interstate highways.
C. H. Niederhof, Wood Pro
curement Manager for the
conservation-minded company
in Charleston, noted that pine
trees are a renewable crop and
under proper management, can
be planted, grown and harvest
ed for a profit on a sustained
yield basis. He further stated,
“Established forestry enterpri
ses have demonstrated that in
come from a rotation of planted
pines is sufficient to generate
substantial profits after ac
counting for the costs of in
tensive protection and manage
ment.
The slash and loblolly pine
trees are given free of charge
to the youth groups with the
hope that the seedlings will
increase their interest in for
estry. They are not requirtd
to sell the mautre trees to the
company but may dispose of
them as they desire.
Westvaco officials also noted
that there are a small number
of seedlings still available for
other conservation groups who
request them. They may be se
cured, while they last, by con
tacting Westvaco’s local pulp-
wood yard.
