A Progressive County Adams county, is one of just 21 counties in the state which have completed school reorganization, having reorganized the entire county. Wells has also completed reorganization. There are 46 others partly reorganized, including Jay, and 25 which have made no progress at all, including Allen county, another neighbor. Adams and Wells counties are frequently leaders in the state in modernization and advancement. There are many who still do not understand the purposes and intent of school reorganization — the elimination, not of schools, but of taxing units — units which were grossly unfair to the taxpayers and to the students themselves. Unfortunately, many people see schools not as educational institutions, where children get their only chance to advance in the world, but as community centers, like churches. They seem to worship the building, forgetting the purpose of the building. They are blinded by the glare, in effect. We laugh at the ancient Greeks for believing in the Oracle at Delphi, and in “holy places,"..yet we practice the same thing. When you, as a church member, or a school member, refuse to consider relocating at another spot, you are, in this same sense, regressing 2,000 years to the idea of a “holy spot” which somehow is better than anomer place for a church or school. .. —— ——.— , This kind of thinking is slowly being overcome by education. It is a pity to perpetuate erroneous thinking, but it is part of the Democratic process. It will be a complete generation before many people can really see the advantages, or disadvantages, of a change or lack of change. In worshipping God, or securing education, it is not the location, but the spirit, that is important.

You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Reading programs in schools have been under attack by noneducators and educators alike. What effect has this criticism had on the schools throughout the country? In many situations, the only change has been an increased emphasis on the teaching of phonics (sounds). Some years ago the phonics method was under attack and the answer was the present look-say •method. This cycle has not achieved much progress. What is wrong with the reading program? An analysis of instructional methods and materials 11 County Students Gain Honor At I. U. Eleven Adams coupty students have qualified for scholastic recognition at Indiana University's founders’ day program next May by being named to the dean’s honors lists this past semester. Students in the junior (freshman) division are so honored by earning a “B” grade average; sophomores and upperclassmen must earn an average of nearly “B” plus, or 3.3 out of a possible 4 point average. Also, to be recognized at founders’ day, when the university marks its birthday with tributes to scholastic excellence, will be a similar group of students winning the honor the first semester of 1963-64. Following are the names of local persons who qualified the last semester;.: r Berne — Patricia Matchett and Richard Smith. Decatur — Michael Carr, John Cowan,- Barbara Johnson, Mary Kocher, John Kohne, and Carol Norquest. Geneva — Stanley Augsburger, and Jerry Mosser.

. seems to indicate a variety of problems. Some of the books leave much to be desired. Take a look at your child's reading textbook. The stories may be dull and lack imagination. A child is looking for excitement in his reading. Our modern world is full of fascinating events. These real events have more creativeness than made up stories. Must Arouse Interest Would you read a dull novel? Why * should your child? There cannot be true motivation to learn unless an individual’s interests are aroused. Consider the kind of reading materials which children do enjoy. Have you ever had difficulty convincing your child to sit and read a comic book? Boys race through the “Tom Swift” series. Girsl are intrigued by the “Bobsy Twins.” “Alice’ in Wonderland” is a classic. Why attempt to make children enjoy reading about a boy’s dull trip to his grandmother’s house? A research study, designed to determine the kinds of stries most interesting to children resulted in some particularly pertinent information. An analysis of the combined responses of boys and girls indicated that they were interested in action, adventure, surprise, and humor. Boys as a group preferred themes concerned with games, sports, hobbies, and handicraft activities. Girls indicated interest, in stories about jumping rope, playing house, collecting dolls and doll’s costumes, and caring for the baby. Valuable Information A study of this type supplies valuable information as to the kinds of stories which would interest young boys and girls. Where are the best -seller lists for children’s books? Here is in untapped market. There are millions of youngsters waiting. Parents ■ would not intentionally deprive their child of the opportunity to read a good book. The majority of textbooks give the impression that nearly everyone in the United States belongs to a middle class family and lives in a private* suburban home. How unusual this must seem to the apartment dweller who lives in a large city. Books should offer fantasy, escape. excitement, knowledge, un- ' derstanding, and interest. I Clarence J.

*9 «U Cardinals Win To Gain Half Game In Race * By United Press International Those incredible Cardinals simply won’t quit, particularly one bird who ruined the Dodgers last year and appears to be doing the same thing again this year. The culprit is 34-year-old Curt Simmons, generally considered “all washed up” when he was dispatched to the minors four years ago. This same Simmons, who didn’t cost the Cardinals a penny, cost the Dodgers more than a quarter million dollars last year when he shut them out in the final game oi the season and forced them into a playoff. He was up to his same old tricks Friday night when he pi tc he d his third consecutive shutout in a space of nine days to beat both Warren Spahn and the Milwaukee Braves 7-0 and boost the streaking Cards within IV2 games of the National. League lead. The victory was the seventh in a row for the Cardinals and their 16th in the last 17 games. It not only ended an eight-game winning streak by Spahn but also enabled the Cards to gain a half game on the somewhat shaky Dodgers. They lost the opener of their twi-nighter to the Phillies 3-2, but won the nightcap 2-1. Simmons gave up only five singles, struck out seven and contributed a run-producing double during a five-run second inning rally that clinched his 15th victory. Not bad for a guy who lost his big toe on his left foot in a power lawn mower in 1953, supposedly lost his fast ball in 1955 and lost his major league address, temprarily anyway, in 1959. The Dodgers dropped their opener to the Phils when Maury Wills.’ wild throw in the ninth inning enabled two runs to score after Frank Howard had put Los Angeles ahead with a two-run homer in the top of the ninth. Chris Short struck out 14 and hurled a four - hitter for his seventh win. Sandy Koufax started for the Dodgers, struck out eight to run his NL strikeout record to 284, and gave way in the eighth to loser Larry Sherry. Ron Perranoski picked up his 15th victoy in the nightcap when he blanked the Phillies over the last three innings. Dennis Bennett was the loser. The Dodgers broke a 1-all tie in the eighth when Ken McMullen grounded out to first baseman Roy Sievers with the bases full to account for the winning run. Sievers had no play at the plate. In other NL games, Pittsburgh beat San Francisco 5-4 in 13 innings, Houston blanked New York 1- and Chicago nipped Cincinnati 3-2. The New York Yankees clinched their fourth straight American League pennant with a 2- victory over Minnesota, Chicago defeated Washington 5-2, Detroit beat Baltimore 3-2 Boston downed Kansas City 7-3, and Cleveland outlasted Los Angeles 7-6. Willie Stargell, who hit a threerun homer earlier in the contest, ended the marathon between the . Pirates and the Giants with a 13th inning triple off loser Bob Garibaldi. Bob Friend picked up his 17th triumph in relief. Don Nottebart stopped the Mets on two hits to post his 10th win for the Colts. Roger Craig, who absorbed his 21st defeat against five victories, blanked Houston until the ninth when rookie John Bateman singled home the only run of the contest. Rookie John Boccabella’s eighth inning single snapped a 2-all tie between the Cubs and Reds and earned reliever Lindy McDaniel his 12th victory.

Yanks Clinch Flag, Bouton In 20th Win By United Press International Not even the grandest of all Yankees is feeling as high as Jim Bouton today — and it’s not all the result of champagne. Winning the American League pennant is a matter of habit for most of the veteran New Yorkers, but there’s nothing routine about a 24-year-old pitcher clinching the flag and gaining his 20th victory of the season in the same night's work. This is what Bouton accomplished Friday night with a masterful 2-0 decision over the Minnesota Twins that boosted his record to 20-6 and gave the Yankees their fourth straight pennant, their 13th in 15 years, and the 28th in their colorful history. It was the earliest American League clinching since the 1941 Yanks put the Flag away on Sept. 4. Bouton, who posted a 7-7 record as a rookie last year, relied mainly on a “hopping fast ball’’ to 1 strike out 11 Minnesota batters, i He was mobbed by his teammates i after retiring the last, batter in t1 the ninth inning and was bathed with pink champagne in the club--1 house. In Trouble Once Bouton gave up six hits and was in trouble only in the eighth inning when the first two Twins reached base and the bases became loaded with two out. But after falling behind 3-1 on Harmon Killebrew, Bouton induced the Minnesota slugger to ground Out to Tony Kubek. Pascual, who went eight innings before going out for a pinch hitter, was tagged with hi s ninth loss against 18 victories. Chicago moved into a secondplace tie with the Twins, 14 games behind the Yankees, by beating Washington 5-2. Elsewhere, Detroit nipped Baltimore 3-2, Boston defeated Kansas City 7-3, and Cleveland outlasted Los Angeles 7-6 in 12 innings. In the National League, Los Angeles split a doubleheader with i Philadelphia, winning the night- • cap 2-1, after the Phils took the opener 3-2; St. Louis shut out Milwaukee 7-0, Pittsburgh edged i San Francisco 5-4 in 13 innings, • Houston topped New York 1-0, and i Chicago beat Cincinnati 3-2. i Herbert Wins 12th i Ray Herbert spaced out ' eight hits and contributed a tworun double to gain his 12th vici tory for the White Sox. Pete Ward ; got a single to tie a Chicago club I record of total bases for a rookie 1 with 278. A ninth-inning sacrifice fly

by George Thomas provided the winning margin for Detroit and helped Phil Regan to his 13th triumph in 20 decisions. Dick Stuart and Lou Clinton drove in two each and Jack Lamabe pitched two innings of scoreless relief ball to preserve the triumph for the Red Sox and Earl Wilson (11-16). Joe Adcock’s 12th home run of the season broke up the Cleve-Icnd-Los Angeles battle. Gary Bell, the fourth Indian pitcher, received credit for his seventh victory against five defeats.
