An Important Decision To Be Made

Several times In the past • few yea!-, decisions and situations have come up that have . been consideied mi’>t important • in matters pertaining to the 4 school situation for this area This matter we are concerned with now i' Mieth rtaimng to the Polk-Li* »ln-.h hnM>n School Corp ' at ion Tins year for the first time, a school board w:’’ be e.le t. I In the pa>t the n cterof v< • ng for school board members was nil. as they were appoint* d. Now, a free n >n political election will be held on May sth at the primary election This will be important to all registered voters of these three townships xs the board elected at this time will he the only board elected all at once From this time on. the terms of the board members will be staggered so that all cannot go off the board at once. One may wonder why this is extremely important at this time xs boards have always run the school's business and will continue to do so. However, now is about the time that some decisions of great importance will be made. First the real purpose of the reorganization is to make larger high schools where a wider curriculum can be offered. Larger number of students has more demand for many subjects not now being taught in many smaller high schools In other reorganized groups where schools are not yet in new homes, but doubling up in the present accommodations. the achool's size has been increased through just a little more transportation. This is one thing that seems to not interest part of the present board as no serious effort has been made to combine the upper three grades of the Tyner and Walkerton Schools, although this was recommended by the North Central Conference. This is the only way thia problem should be attacked.

What good does it do to put two buildings unde? one school and principal if the extra advantages are not offered to the students Maybe it does make a better basketball team or sports program, but is that the reason we nd the children to s. ho<»l now days? A second reason is simply that in the future somewhere, building plans are going to have to be co: idcrod Maybe this is two, three, or even *rv< n or eight years away and it is still coming and is something that may have to be pushed sooner than one now believes. Along with the normal running of the school’s business, which Is strictly big business in every way imagined, dollars and cents and personnel, the school board is always faced with problems that takes the attention of some level thinking people to operate to the best of their ability. The period is on us now when candidates for the school board are filing for the 1964 election. Several petitions for filing have been seen around and more we know will be if they aren't already. With election time less than two months away and a good battle shapng up in at lexst part of the three township area, if not all three, it will pay the voters to seek information about our school system and the proposals the various candidates choose to support before going to the polls. These candidates are becoming known to the people and certainly if they plan to fight hard to win. they will have to express themselves. This makes it the duty of wu. as a voter, to seek information and support the candidate of your choice on May 5. There is a lot to happen wt before the filing period closes and the voting date comes, but now is the time to start your obligations as a voter for this important election at hand.

Birdwhistle, Temple University anthropologist. The average person spends only 25 minutes a day in articulated speech, the rest of the time communicating by grimacing, smiling, frowning raiding an eyebrow, nodding, hunching the shoulders and other forms of “body English." "The woman who says she couldn't talk if her hands were tied is probably being quite accurate,” Dr. Birdwhitsell said. He is an authority on "Kinesics," the study of body motion communications. Elementary and secondary U.S. school enrollment in 1963 totaled 64 9 million pupils, 40 2 million in public schools, the rest in various private institutions.
