Schools Inaugurate New Band Program A district program to formalize early instrumental instruction in the Decatur school system, and thus improve the pre-high-school band and orchestra program, to build a sound foundation for future high school bands, was inaugurated Thursday afternoon by the principals of the grade schools, the city superintendent, and the band instructor, Richard Collins. The program will continue work with third and fourth graders with tonettes, the cigar-shap-ed instruments used to build a sense of tone and rhythm in the youngsters. At the end of the fifth grade, those who think that .they would like to go into the band will be given special summer instruction and work. Those who complete this work will then go into a music program in their sixth year of school. Those who do not decide until their sixth year that they are interested will have to wait until their seventh year to get into the formal band program. The reason for this is to keep the entire 'group as close together in proficiency as possible. If those who have precticed for six months are thrown In with those just beginning, the entire program suffers. The new program will also encourage early choice of band work, and will prevent those who suddenly decide they want band, | only to drop out later, to undergo a preliminary period of learning before formally joining the band. Dead Porcupine Is Found Alonq Highway Elroy Winteregg and Floyd Bowers, state highway department workers, report finding a dead porcupine along U. S. highway 224 near the truck stop east of Decatur. It had apparently been run over by a car. — Only Huntington Exceeds Quota — During the past two weeks only Huntington county has exceeded its quota in blood donations during visits of the regional bloodmobile, a check of local newspapers show.

The bloodmobile tries to average 125 pints a day to keep the necesssary amounts of all blood types on hand for the hospitals of this 34county area in two states.

STATE SCHOOL (Continued from Paga One Field Trips Every corner of the old buildings, or of the ones not condemned as unsafe, is used for some part of the instruction, he stressed. Often the students are accompanied uptown on buses, or out into the world, so that they can readjust to non-institutional life" The aim of the school is to return as many as possible to useful life. The philosophy of the school is that each individual is important] as an individual, regardless of his mental level. Whether he is a genius or below normal, he is important because he is a person. Therefore, it is important to develop the personality as far as is possible. Each student goes as far as he can in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and social learning, and is then taught a trade of some type so that he can be a useful member of society. Loyal Worker* Those who are returned to society prove to be diligent, hard workers who are almost always extremely loyal to their employers, he ex-] plained. The rehabilitation shops were shown, with the work of the students. The students range in age from the very young school children to 94. Unfortunately many of the older people, who under present methods of treatment could be trained to return to society, became so used to the place that they no longer could adjust to non-institutional ways,. Many are quite useful working at the school. In fact, the oldest patient jwas_a bricklayer, and helped build many of the buildings now making up the school grounds. The program closed with a showing of the dedication of the first two new units — one by former Gov. Harold Handley, and the latest by Gov. Matthew E. Welsh. Questions Answered Questions from the audience established that about 20% of the students have no contact with relatives or friends. About 200 are released a year and returned to society, where they are carefully watched "until they have made full adjustment. Parents are encouraged to visit the students frequently, to take them out for lunch, or to take them nome on leaves. The only regulation of visitation is after hours at night, when the
