Opinions represented herein do not necessarily represent those of this newspaper. If feasible, submit typed, dou-ble-spaced letters. Dear Editor: Several years ago, much effort was made by the people in the Bainbridge area to gain toll-free service with Greencastle. We expected this to include the Morton area since all numbers were listed among Greencastle numbers in the phone book and toll was handled through Greencastle for the entire area. Last winter, we were all pretty disappointed because we have expected free service with Morton as with Greencastle. I have been in correspondence with the Public Service Commission and received (a) letter from the Hendricks Telephone Corp. They seem ready to give us service with Morton if only General Telephone would agree. (A)map shows the North Putnam School District all of which can call any school or the high school in the North Putnam school area, either through the Fillmore, Bainbridge, Roachdale, exchanges of the Hendricks Phone Corp. the General Greencastle Exchange and the Waveland Bell Exchange. But Morton is still a toll call from home to school or from school to home. Mr. Norman Evans, Vice-Princ. at North Putnam H.S. must make a toll call to tell his wife if he will be late for supper. Fire protection is furnished the area served by the Morton Exchange by the Bainbridge Community Fire Dept. A toll call is necessary to call for such help. I do not know if the new spaper can be of help in this very unsatisfactory situation but 1 feel that several people should be working on the problem. I taught school at Bainbridge when we had toll calls from the school to almost half of the student homes. I have never had to call a fire dept, but 1 would be pretty unhappy to be held up as some have been on a toll call for such help. Sincerely, Albert E. Harshbarger

In Memoriam In memory of Lelaud Brown who, left us 6 years ago on Oct. 7. one by one our loved ones leave us. One by one they slip away, Down the dark and lonely valley. Which we too, must walk someday. We may long for their returning. But our tears are all in vain, For the family circle is broken. Never on earth to meet again. Sadly missed by Wife, Edith and Family

Inside Education

The North Ceatral Visitation By Dr. John Coomer

In a previous column dealing with accreditation we pointed out that the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools is the accrediting agency that serves a nineteen state area that includes Indiana. As we said at that time, a committee visits member schools every seven years to see that they meet North Central standards and, more importantly, to suggest ways in which the schools may better educate the students attending them. Since Greencastle High School will be visited by a North Central committee the 16th through the 19th of this month, we thought that it might be interesting to our readers to describe what is involved in such a visit and the preparation that goes into it. A year ago preparations for this visitation began. The local high school faculty began a selfstudy which has just been completed. Using standardized forms provided by the North Central Association the faculty spent long hours studying every detail of the school and its curriculum and rated itself as to how well the local situation ranked according to sound pedagogical practice. The self-evaluation is very important and most beneficial to a school. Through self-examina-tion and self-study areas for improvement become readily clear and improvement is much more easily accomplished if its need is self-realized and it is selfinitiated. Just at the beginning of the present school year a visiting committee of Fifteen educators was appointed by the North Central state office. This particular committee will visit only Greencastle High School; the approximately forty other schools being visited this year will have their own individual committees. The committee is composed of public school superintendents and principals, high school classroom teachers, and college professors. Dr. Lee Stoner of Indiana University will chair the Greencastle committee. As we said, all the members are practicing educators; they are not employees of the North Central Association. They serve on this committee as a professional obligation without pay. During the slightly less than one week that the committee is in

the school its members will scrutinize every detail of the school. They will use the volumes of paper work prepared by the faculty in the self-evaluation of the past year as a point of reference for their work. The total committee will break down into subcommittees to evaluate various subject departments in the school as well as certain general areas such as the school building and grounds, the administration of the school, and the school’s student activities program. It should be pointed out at this point that this is in no way a white glove inspection to be dreaded or feared. The members of the committee enter the school as professionals seeking to make suggestions for improvement to a school that has already proven its quality by being admitted to membership in the North Central Association. The emphasis is on helping a great school maintain its greatness. The purpose of the visitation is not to determine if the school can maintain its accreditation. When the committee leaves at the end of the week it has compiled a lengthy report. The chairman spends the next few months editing it and when he has completed this task he mails the report to the school. This volume of approximately 150 pages describes every facet of the school in detail, commends areas of strength, and recommends improvements as the committee sees them. The school then enters the final phase of evaluation, the follow-up. The school reacts to the recommendations of the committee and reports to the Association as these are carried out or gives reasons why they are not desirable. This phase may last for several years. When we began this column over a year ago we promised that it would not be used to give school news. However, we find the procedures that schools follow for a North Central visitation are interesting and important and feel that the general public should be aware of them. Membership in an accrediting association denotes quality. An evaluation by a team representative of that association, preceded by a self-evaluation, and succeeded by a serious follow-up study, assures that quality.

-DPU confirmed yesterday and he will serve a three-year term as a voting trustee. He will also serve on the Board’s academic affairs committee. The Rev. G. Ben Hershberger, Muncie, new trustee representing the South Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church, was sworn in with Hasten. Wood, the board’s new chairman, was named to his present post with Eli Lilly and Company last April. He attended DePauw, earned a B.S. degree in engineering from Purdue University in 1948, and was granted an M.B.A. degree by the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania. He joined the pharmaceutical firm in 1950 and has since held various positions in the financial and marketing areas including international assignments in Argentina and Mexico. He was named president of Lilly

—Continued from Page 1 International in 1970 and became president of the parent corporation early in 1972. Mahrdt first joined DePauw’s board of trustees in 1964. He was elected vicepresident in 1965 and in 1968 succeeded Bernard Kilgore, chairman of the board of Dow, Jones & Company, as chairman. “In all these offices, and especially as chairman, Kurt Mahrdt has served with high skill, great wisdom and deep devotion,” Kerstetter told the board regarding retirement of the 1928 DePauw graduate. In Memoriam In loving memory of William E. Powell who passed away Oct. 7,1967. Just a prayer from lips that loved you. Just a memory fond and true. In our hearts you live forever. Because we thought the world of you. Sadly missed by Wife Faye, Children and grandchildren

grades four, eight and ten were provided an opportunity during the last school year to express their opinions on several facets of vocationaltechnical educational opportunities and tend to be a supportive of the concept of an area vocational-technical school. “Their support, however, is not without two serious qualifications. Many parents indicated support for an area school but only if it were located in their district and a number of them expressed concern for the costs involved in establishing an area school.” The most common parental reasons stated for the encouraging children to enroll in vocational-technical education were the “relevance to living or the practical nature of such education.” An assumption frequently stated even by parents who endorse this idea is that such programs are for the “slower” students and that it is remedial for what are perceived as the failures of traditional education.” This misunderstanding concerning the nature of vo-cational-techical education by a substantial part of the adult community could cause difficulties in recruiting the more able students into the programs even where those programs appear the most appropriate for the involved students. “Therefore,” the summary states, “the community must be educated regarding the purposes, objectives, and nature of voca-tional-technical education.” Teachers of students in grades seven through twelve were asked to respond to a series of eleven statements concerning career development and vocational-techni-cal education. The teachers acknowledged that “students need help with career planning and agreed that providing secondary career training opportunities is as important as providing post-secondary ones. From 15.9 to 84.4 percent of those 1965 graduates who received questionnaires completed and returned them. This rate of return is considered exceptionally good by the summary and indicates to those making the survey a great interest in and concern for education by these guaduates. According to the summary of the survey, “considerably less than half of the graduates from many of the corporations indicated that their high school experiences prepared them for their present positions.” “All the groups who were surveyed apparently recognize additional voca-tional-technical educational opportunities as a need for the involved communities, “reads the summary. NOTICE The called meeting of the Putnam County Retired Teacher’s Association will be held at the Northeast Elementary School on Monday, Oct. 8 at 1 p.m. All retired teachers please note and attend.

Suggestions by the parents and graduates who responded which should be implemented into the program should one be started included the following: “any attempts at additional voca-tional-technical education should be practice-oriented and include on-the-job experiences. “Programs (should) utilize community resources and existing facilities as alternatives to an area school...A placement service should be a part of a career training program...Some vocational preparation (should) be made available prior to grades eleven and twelve.” To summarize the responses of both the parents and students, the survey summary stated that “substantial segments of the student bodies (appear to be) ill-in-formed concerning the variety of available careers, the training requirements for careers, and they do not hold realistic career goals by the time they graduate from high school.” YOU AND YOUR CAR By The Automotive Information Council Roadeo Tests Truckers’ Skills Once every year some of the nation’s top professional truck drivers get together and compete for honors and prizes in The National Truck Roadeo, a contest of knowledge, safety and driving skills. To be eligible to enter the Roadeo, drivers must have a perfect driving record for at least one full calendar year prior to the event. All competition at a National Roadeo is based on the knowledge and skill required of professional drivers in their daily work. Contestants first undergo oral and written examinations designed to evaluate their knowledge of safe driving rules and regulations, the trucking industry, first aid and fire fighting. The drivers then inspect a vehicle with built-in defects, just as they would ordinarily check some 79 items on their own vehicles such as tires and lights. The drivers are judged not only on their ability to locate the defects, but also on the efficiency of their inspection. Driving over an obstacle course and maneuvering the vehicles through prescribed situations is the highlight of the Roadeo. Contenders driving semi trailers must be able to park their 40-foot rig in a 44-foot space, deftly placing the huge vehicle no more than six inches from the curb. Duplicating the feat of holding his vehicle to a pencil-straight line on the pavement drivers must guide their trucks through a double row of small rubber balls, balanced on tees, with a two-inch clearance on either side of his wheels. Judges for the event are traffic and safety experts from the trucking and insurance industries. Interstate Commerce Commission, U.S. Department of Transportation and various state police forces and highway departments. Winners of the event receive trophys and cash prizes, not to mention the prestige of being tops in their field.

As a result of this investigation, seven basic areas of need were identified: An improved base for administrative and curricular decision making is desirable. It is desirable to minimize the present duplications of programs between districts. Expanded vocational-tech-nical educational opportunities are need in the eight county area. Any expanded vocationaltechnical offerings should be part of a flexible program which can be immediately responsive to community and

student needs and area employment opportunities. Students must be provided a sound base from which to make well-informed educational and vocational decisions. Community support and understanding is essential to the success of any expanded vocational-technical education for the tax dollar spent. Basic recommendations made by Gannon will be given and explained in the next article of this series which will appear in tomorrow’s edition.
