Sweetnessand

LightBy CHARLES E. GREGORY

I have been devoting a: major share of my efforts; these past fiye years to find-" ing some plausible answer to

our school problem. I think*I found it last week in Cam-abridge. .

i * " * * *

7- ' There will be those, _of- course, who prefer the sq--• called conventional approachi; to school buiiding .with its••* traditionally inordinate ini-;, tial expense, plus the annual

expense of maintenance. The" implications in the latter

consideration, may have their: importance to those who dis-l pense the perquisites, but in

Woodbridge Township at the;, moment we must confineI. ourselves to the reality of our£ responsibility to educate our| children. If we,are willing toI do less than this, then I sug-g e s t we turn in our citizen-f ship papers.C * « * jt ..1 For some reason which:.often is even inexplicable toZ, me, it was I who first in-£ quired into the new, eco-| nomieal and - quick: methods[ of school construction. Then

it was I who sought to get an.* independent and authorita-

tive evaluation of these. methods. After I was able to

get the help in this of Pro-lessors Voss", and Gumpertzat the Massachusetts Insti-tute of Technology, then I

,- arranged for ttie"pTgrirn1a|e^fo hear their report, This in-^vprved chartering a Trahs-: World Airlines Constellation„ Irom Newark to East Boston,

arranging the" charter fee of$1,050, and then getting abus to transport the partyfrom the airport t$ Cam-bridge.

• In the meantime. Of course,I'-also had to find the way totarn my meagre Jivi&g and.-aliving for those who workî th us—and in Biy sparetime I fumbled around beingthe president of the PerthAmboy General hospital ,andattended to my menialchores as a director of theFirst Bank an4 Trust Com-pany. These are not impor-tant facts, in a way, but mayexplain why my time is socrowded I don't have toomany off-moments .to spendin the saloons.

* * * *Before I get, too far in

these casual reminiscences,and into my solitude, I wantto express my deep and last-ing appreciation to myfriends at M.I.T. for theirwillingness to giê a full dayto help us. I 4on't knowwhether they will get anyany other curtsies, but theyshould, and if it should occurto the Board of Education tosend off a note of gratitude Iknow it will be appreciated.I only hope I can reciprocatethe kindness which was ex-tended to us, for I know it

i stemmed from an interest^ similar to nay very §wn.

* * * *As another story on this

page indicates, our Board ofEducation recej$|4 advice—free — from oul, country's

_ foremost authofi% on con-struction materigjs. I knowthere have been sttme-.snideremarks about the independ-rence of this advice, but I

. have sufficient djgclosable in-formation to indict these re-marks for what they are, andto explain the reason theywere made. I better not heartoo many more of them.however—because I will com-pare in print the Voss integrity with that of "those who

Authority Completes Final• Draft for Housing Code

EDISON—At next Wednesday'smeeting of the township commis-sioners the final draft of the hous-ing code for this municipality willbe submitted to' CommissionerMartin J. O'Hara, Sr., for intro-duction at the meeting.

Tnej announcement came froma; meeting of the Housing Au-thority Tuesday night in the mu-nieipal building.

The housing -code is part ofthe "workable program" whichmust be in effect or in processof realization before federal fundswill be allocated to the authorityto proceed with the rehabilitationproject in Potters.

Housing Authority membersalso requested a meeting with thetownship planning board and itsconsultant to discuss progress onthe township's master plan, an-other phase of the workable pro-gram requirements.

The authority also authorizeda request to be made of the town-ship commissioners to forbid allsales of land or- of tax title liencertificates in the entire Pottersarea pending developments in therehabilitation project.

Worthless ChecksHold Nixon Man

EDISON—A 26-year-old Nixonman is to be arraigned today oncharges of forgery and contribut-ing to the delinquency of a minor,as the aftermath of the fine workacomplished by local police.

The Nixon man is Frank B.Kelly, Jr., 15 Second Street. Ar-rested with him and turned 'overto county juvenile authorities wasa 16-year-old girl friend.

Pol'"p beân working on thecase following the appearance offorged checks in this and othermunicipalities. An effort to appre-hend the suspect in Plainfield onMonday failed and led to the send-ing of an alarm and the eventual


ment has been made in Boston byStructo Schools Corporation thatit has entered into a contract withAlexander Merchant, local Boardof Education architect, to repre-sent it before the State Depart-ment of Education.

William J. Deegan, executivevice-president of Structo, also ad-vised he expected Mr. Merchantwill submit design and specifica-tions this week to the state inbehalf of the Borough of Kinnelonfor a Structo school approval.Prior to 'this presentation, only aline-drawing of Structo buildinghad been offered the state.

Kinnelon, thus, will be the firstcommunity in the state to seekapproval of the Structo design, adesign which last week won theunconditional approval of Professor(emeritus) Walter C. Voss of theDepartment of Building Construc-tion and Design of MassachusettsInstitute of Technology. It also isthe plan of Kinnelon to instigatelegislation which will permit it tofinance the cost of constructionunder the Structo financing pro-posal.,

Under New Jersey requirements,all school building plans must besubmitted by an architect regis-tered in the state. Mr. Merchant,who was architect for the new $3,-100,000 high school in Woodbridgeand has been retained to plan forthe conversion of the old highschool into a junior high, attendedthe meeting in Cambridge lastWednesday when the Board ofEducation heard the Voss report.He made no inquiries of the Struc-to methods, nor did he offer anycomments in respect to the Vossconclusions.

Contract ReceivedMr. Deegan at that time stated

his company was in process of re-taining a New Jersey-registeredarchitect to present its plans tothe state, but did not divulge theidentity, of its choice. His an-nouncement this week was thefirst that the local architect hadbeen selected and that "his signedcontract has been received."

Mr. Merchant, whose firm Alex-ander Merchant Associates, hasprincipal offices in New Brunswick,was retained to build the Wood-bridge high school after the Boardof Education severed relations with


Voss Report HighlightsAdvantages of Structo - Type Buildings over

Old - Style Methods are DescribedWOODBRIDGE—Taken from a stenographic text, following

are some, of the highlights in the evaluation report of StructoSchools by Professor (emeritus) Walter C. Voss of MassachusettsInstitute of Technology:

"The question of what is a satisfactory school has quite a numberof facets. Among these, let us put function first . . . I might say,as we go along the Structo School provides these functions, asmany or as few as you want."

# # * *"The second thing, is the thing structurally sound and has

it a reasonable life, as compared to some of the old frozenmasonry and concrete we have seen in years gone by . . . (Structo)structurally is sound and just as durable as considered fromthe usual measures of durability (as) any of the older buildings."

. * * * %"The Structo School also has this characteristic, ttiat it may

be disassembled in part and reassembled to meet new conditions,which is not true of buildings like the one we are sitting in at thismoment . . . ."

t . * & * *

"The third facet of this acceptability is: what does it looklike, would the people like it. This is something that is very hardto pass on for every community. For every person that likes thelooks of a new school design by an architect, three think it isterrible—-and none know anythingabout it. . . . "

* # *. *". . . The important tiling that is taking place, today in school

buildings generally is the indifferent squandering of money on un-necessary amenities, unnecessary from the point of view they con-

If You Have No Financial Problem,You DonYNeed Us/ Structo. Says

WOODBRIDGE — The posi-tion of Structo Schools in re-

- latiofl, ,to. Wqodbridgre Townshipis set forth in the followingexcerpt from the transcript ofthe Voss report. The statementwas made by William J. Dee-gran Jr., vice-president ofStructo:

"We are: not trying- to sellschools except to communitieswho can't make it otherwise. Ifyou can, you do iiot want us.If you can, let our materialsand our manpower g-o to thosepeople who have their back up

against a fiscal wall. We arenot in competition with con-ventional methods.- If you-havea fiscal situation where youcan't make a go of it, the re-sults of our entire research pro-gram are available to you with-out any obligation whatsoever.

" . . . we have been able todevelop a pattern where manu-facturers' efficiency will allowcheaper, safe, attractive flexibleschool plants at a reasonableprice, quickly, by taking ad-vantage of the new technologi-cal developments."

tribute nothing whatsoever to the functional purpose of the schoolthat cannot be contributed toy the people who are using the buildingsor that could be construed as a question of luxury rather thanfunction . . . " • • :

• * * * *

"This (Structo) method of construction which is beingused in houses and industrial plants all over the country hasall the characteristics that will produce economy and that willallow you the greatest amount of flexibility of plan and arrange-ment without doing a whole lot of special thingrs that cost, money.. . . I think Structo schools have all these characteristics. I haveno reservation on its structural strength or durability. . . ."

* * * *"The question of leakage, water and thermal resistance are

all provided in these panels so as to take care of whatever geo-graphical location and exposures the building has. It is also light,it does not need the support of a heavy foundation. . . ." -

* * * *"I don't own a TV set myself, it is too much of a time-

waster. In Michigan State, the students walk through the corri-dors, and there is a TV set in the wall so they, can keep up—and bereally befuddled when they so into the next class. These are notnecessities for education. I think the personality, the methodthe teacher has of motivating- her students, her background ofgiving illustrations and thinking — all that — kindness and every-thing else can do more to educate people than textbooks. . ."

* * * $"Don't lose sight of this—that coupled with the expenses you.are

going to have on new schools . . . you have to give definite thoughtto raising salaries of -teachers—you have to give them the motiveto go into teaching. We need them badly. Competent people arenot going into, teaching today unless their soul says T am goingto do this thing even if I don't have a loaf of bread left'."

* * =B *

"I have a gripe, and this runs diametrically against the opinionsof the NEA and teaching: profession, that we now have the con-cept, that we should have about 24 students per teacherYoung people go to college and get into a lecture room with500 freshmen to listen to a teacher doing a pretty good job. . ."

- - ' . * * « =* ' '

" . . . you may get a cheaner school by the use of wood and theelimination of accoustic ceilings or this, that, or the other—butit will be a cheaper school, with the accent on cheap—rather thana less expensive school. There is a big difference."

Opinion, StillWary on Trial

WOODBRIDGE — The Boardof Education veers slightly in fa-vor of modular, curtain-walltype construction in school build-ings if approvail can be securedfrom the State Department ofEducation.

The conclusion was reached byThe Independent-Leader todayafter a telephoned interview witheach of the members of the Boardwho attended the conference inBoston last week to hear the re-port of Professor Walter C. Voss,head of the Department of Build-ing Construction and Engineeringof the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology. The professor gaveunequivocal approval to the. con-construction, specifically that of-fered by Structo Schools Corpor-ation.

The only question raised byBoard members was .that they didnot see a finished building putup by Structo. The stated pur-pose of the visit, however, was tohear the Voss report. There wereno representations Structo schoolswould;be viewed..

Opinions voiced by the individ-ual board members were as fol-lows:

Andrew Aaroe, president ofthe Board of Education: "I got agreat.deal out of the. trip. The.product is a good one, I knowthat for I have seen it before.However, I was under the im-pression we were going to seeschool buildings. The big bugaboois in Trenton but I believe thatpublic sentiment and pressurecan break, down that barrier. Iam in favor of the Board applyingimmediately to the State Depart-ment of Education for permissionto use the product. I want to saythat. I feel Professor Voss' reportwas the result of an impartial sur-vey."

Edwin Casey, vice president:"I listened • very attentively tothe proceedings and if Structorepresents a 100 per cent low-cost school I am very much forit. I was disappointed, that wedidn't see a finished building,and I would rather see more of itbefore giving a final opinion."

Harry Burke: "The meeting wasan education in itself. Dr. Vossis a wonderful personality and hecertainly knew his topic. WhatI liked the most about Structowas its moveability—that you canmove such a school from one partof the Township to another as itis needed. Something like thatwould have been practical whenfor years Keasbey school waspractically closed down. I believewe should build such a school ifthe State department gives us theO. K.

'Worthwhile Trip'John J. Csabai: "The trip was

worthwhile indeed. Dr. Voss waswell-versed in his subject and Hepresented his case so that it wasunderstood. The building in myopinion has possibilities but Iwonder if the public would taketo that type of building. If thestate approves that type of con-struction I am willing to go alongwith it."

James Mullen: "I thought itwas a very worthwhile education-al trip. But the laws of the Stateof New Jersey at the present timedo not permit us to go aheadwith that type of construction. Ifthe law is altered, I would betickled pink to see such a schoolbuilt. The more, publicity givento it, the better, and perhapswe could get Trenton to changetheir ideas."

J. Lester Neary: "I got a greatdeal out of the trip and I ammore than willing to go along ifit can be cleared, in Trenton. Ihave, no objections to Structo andI am certainly in favor of low-cost schools. I thought Dr. Vosswas a really brilliant man andhe certainly knew what he wastalking about. If we got startedhere in Woodbridge, I feel thatthe Structo-type constructionwould go like wildfire all-overthe state."

Tells of Lifeuritryside of N* H*

SEWAREN'. — Mrs. W. FrankBums, former Sewaren residentand former correspondent for theWoodbridge Independent-Leader,has written an interesting ac-

, count of her life in the NewHampshire country-side.- (Ad-dress: Star Route, Sanbornville,N- H.)

"Each year I love it more. here,in this magnificent hill country."The house, which was built about70 years ago, faces toward. San-ford, Maine, (16 miles east) andis on Highway 109 at the top ofa high hill. I am 2V2 miles fromthe village ci Sanbornvflle alonga narrow, twisting.road that fol-

f-lows beautiful-Loveil Lake. I livej alone during the winter, except

for visits from the children, butnever .really feel lonely.

"Pat, Chet, Flip, Tom, and theirf dog, Widget, (Mrs. Burns' son-in-i law, daughter, and grandchildren:' Mr. and Mrs. Chester Filarowitz,

Perth • Amboy) were up here- forThanksgiving. My son, Jim, andhis wife, Lola, come out. eachweek-end to stay with me.

"Jim and Lola now live inRochester, N, H, with her mother.That is about 25 mile south ofhere. Lola teaches fifth gradein North Rochester, and Jim is atthe University of New Hamp-shire in Durham. He hopes tobecome a veterinarian.

"Kay, Bill, Barry and Storm,the boxer, (Mrs. Burns' other son

^ and daughter-in-law, Mr. andMrs. William Burns, Holton St.,Sewaren, and son) got up for aweek the end of October and itwas lovely to see them. Other Se-waren visitors in the last fewyears: have included the PercyAustens, the Harper Sloans, andthe Harry O'Connors.

"Main feature of the farm is'The Barn' which was remodeled12. years' ago—hand-hewn rafters,

huge stone fire-place, sleepingporch, etc. Below barn is a two-car garage and under sleepingporch is a work-shop. Views ofthe valley, pastures and surround-ing mountains with glimpse ofLovell Lake take your breathaway. A place of utmost delightto relax in for almost fivemonths. Now, however,- it is com-pletely boarded Tip—waiting forspring—and summer visits fromfriends and grandchildren.

"We had an automatic oil fur-nace (forced hot air) installed inthe main house before I movedup last March from Milton soI am very comfortable.

"I love the healing quiet uphere—rooms are flooded with sun-shine. Tell Ruth Wolk thatWolfeboro. on Lake Winnipesau-kee is only about 18 miles fromhere. Saw in her column thatshe was up here last summer.North Conway with the ski-mobileis only 35 miles north.

"The autumn foliage is fabu-lous. Winter, too, is magnificent.Snow stays white. Each, year Ilearn to love -New Hampshiremore. Hunting and fishing are abig attraction here. You often finddeep freezers in homes that haveno central heating or modernplumbing—so' many up here getdeer and big catches of variousfish and small game which is.frozen to provide many a mealthrough winter and summer . . .All in all, it's a fine life."

GKEGOEY: Professor Voss andProfessor Gumpeftz, we havecome her-e today to hear whatyou can tell us about the Structoschool. In our group are eightof the nine members of the Wood-bridge Board of Education, Ma-yor Quigley of "Woodbridge, andothers representing other schoolboards, banks' and the New Jersey'State Department of Local Gov-ernment, as 'well as-some schoolarchitects. We are all interestedin the problem of getting children

into schools quickly and at a costwe can better afford. With theStructo school this seems a possi-bility, 'and that is why we im-posed upon you before and arehere today. The principal thingthese folks aie interested in iswhether these Structo schools are,in your judgment, satisfactoryschools.

VOSS: The question oi what isa satisfactory school has quitea number of facets. Among theselet us put function first. Certainthings go on in a school that have

.got to be provided for by func-tional use. I might say as we goalong thait the Structo schoolprovides these functions, as manyor as few as you want.

The second is, is the thingstructurally sound and has ita reasonable life, as comparedto some of the old frozen massesof masonry and. concrete that wehave seen in years gone by. This isa test also. Structurally it is

^sound and just as durable con-sidered from the usual measuresof durability of any of the olderbuildings. The question of dura-bility, however, is related to howmuch money you spend, howlong you amortize and can you•just discard It after a period ofyears as, time and conditionschange.

The structo school also has this: characteristic, that it may bedisassembled in part and re-assembled to meet new condi-tions, which is not true of build-'ings like the one we are sitting inat this moment. Here it wouldcost more to raze and re-erecta Building today than it would; to erect it in the first place. Pan-elized buildings in general, suchas used in industrial .plants, canhave their faces lifted, can be ex-tended, altered. The move is. gen-erally in that direction in con-struction. THirthermore, it elimin-ates large portions of site labor,it makes it possible to do a lot infactories. Existing panelized ma-terials can be combined in sucha way that they can be shippedas a unit and erected by sitelabor, which is not true in build-ings like the one we are in or insome of those in the past.

^Indifferent Squandering*Of School Money is Target

The third facet of this accepta-bility is, what does it loot like,would the people like it? Thisis something that is very hardto pass on for every community.For every person that likes thelooks of a uew,jsghool design byan architect three -think it is•terrible and none know anythingabout it. It is the conventional

"which dictates choice in everypublic building. The importantthing that is taking place todayin school buildings generally isthe indifferent squandering ofmoney on unnescessary amenities,unnecessary from the point ofview that they contribute noth-ing whatever to the functionalpurpose of the school that cannotbe contributed by the people thatare using the buildings or thatcould be construed as a question

of luxury rather than function.Now these three things are

hard to evaluate, particularly thelast one. Some might think theStructo school is good looking,some might think it looks likea ^factory. But there are any num-ber of buildings in use that looklike factories because of architec-tural design., A school today is de-signed not only for providing aneducation but it is also consideredas a unit on a landscape that musthave tremendous symmetry. Re-cently I sat in on a conferencewhere an owner was going topay $330,000 for landscapingaround a factory. I almost drop-ped through my chair. He wasgoing to pay it for his employees.He could afford it, a communitycan't.

Economical Design NeedsFull-Time Building Use

Let me give you my conception,then, on the basis of these threecategories that I believe in. I be-lieve that no building, a school,or anything else,- is economicallydesigned if all the space in thatbuilding is not used a majorityof the time. We have auditoria,gymnasia, cafeterias and whathave you all over .this country asseparate entities at terrific cost.They are used less than 10%-of the time during a year andI am opposed to it in the ifaceof costs because they contribuenothing to the educational processthat cannot be derived from thestaff and from the equipmentprovided in the space^ that is usedmost of the time. I-'Jive; you oneillustration:

In my home town in Weilesley,at a meeting (which was a townmeeting at the time, now it isa representative -town because wehave grown) about, two-thirds ofthe people got -up at the meet-ing and stated that- they wanteda separate auditorium becausethe kids never had a place tograduate from. SCF we built aseparate wing that would do jus-tice to a very line theater in NewYork, at a terrific .cost. ComeJune graduation the same peopleinsisted that their children wearcaps and gowns and be gradu-

ated from Alumni Hall in Welles-ley and since that day the audi-torium hasn't been used oncefor a graduation. There it is, aninvested 'bunch of money whichhasn't been used except for townmeetings. They also wanted separ-ate gymnasia, a boy's gymnasiumand a girl's gymnasium, with du-plicate shower rooms, locker rooms,all costing a lot of money. Thecafeteria is used for about anhour and a half once a day.This is a tremendous area with alot of equipment: dumb waiters,tables, chairs. Those three unitsalone are about 40% of the costof that entire school and are used10% of the time.

This is the kind of thing thatmakes me believe we should havea multi-purpose design. This isa question of scheduling. Schoolauthorities insist "we can't dothat because we can't schedule itright." You can. In England to-day there is a federal law thatall places of this kind must'havesingle multi-purpose rooms andthey are. building some schoolswithout any of these amenities.They are depending upon teach-ing; and if you know anythingabout what the Russians are do-ing—they are spending their timeteaching and not tap dancingduring class hours.

Structo School FlexibilityIs Important Advantage

This is my concept of how farwe have gone wrong on the edu-cational process, including thebuildings. The important -thing &to provide seats, rooms' and teach-ers. I don't like to see appropri-ations reduced any- more thanyou have to. The larger propor-tion of funds shouftd go intothe human element of the educa-tion process, that is, the teachersand the equipment to have themdo their job effectively.

Sfcructo, in the plans 1 have

seen, gives you units that youcan combine to give you anythingyou want. You can enlarge it, ifyour site is thought of correctlyin. the first place; you can addor contract. It should be locatedin such a place so that it can beexpanded, and so that the struc-tural parts can be used as alreadyfabricated for the erection, or re-moved and made into a, new schoolin' another place with the samepanels used to amplify the spaceat that point. This is true in

MISSION TO M. I. T.: Above is shown the members of the Woodbrlclge Board of Education, Mayor Quigley and others interested, upon their arrival at Logan Airport,East Boston, on a Trans-World Airlines chartered Constellation. They then went to Cambridge to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to hear the evaluation

report of Professor Walter C. Voss on Structo Schools.

the gas station industry today.They are panelized and can betaken down, moved over night andre-erected. It is also true of largeindustrial establishments. Thefixed partition is gone in modernthinking so that you can havethings the way you want.

It therefore seems that anyonethat can offer to the communitiesof this cbuntry a standardizedunit that has pretty decent lookswhen combined in different ways,as a concept of the person whounderstands about architecturaltreatment, and if the area is suchthat it can be used or rearrangedfor a multiplicity of changinguses, or enlarged hi case you haveto put in more seats, has donea great service. This is all plannedfor, done on paper, not doneby trial and error in the fieldas we are doing now.

When you remodel a frozen ma-sonry school it, costs, you moreto remodel than to get three timesthe volume in new constructionbecause you have to avail your-self of existing conditions. Thisdelays the thing, makes it impos-sible for the general contractorto figure except with a generouscontingent. He would be crazyif he did not put in a large con-tingent for he will surely run- intothings he knows nothing aboutahead of time and that he willhave to fix.

The reason I like the approachof Structo :school, people is thatit gives me all these possibilities.At the same time whether I likethe looks of the outside is my per-sonal opinion. There are a lot ofbuildings I don't like, a lot ofarchitectural taste I shudder tolook at, reminiscent of the classi-cal Greek. We ought to be livingtoday. 'Buildings like the one weare in now are wrong, the ceilingheight is too high for one storyand not high enough to put a sec-ond/one in between. There isn't adoor that doesn't have to be madeto order if you need a new one.

Prefabrication isn't anythingnew: Today 40 to 50% of all partsgoing into any building are pre-fabricated. Pipe, radiator, brick,stone, these are all prefabricatedta -small units that have to beput up by -site labor. Site laborkeeps a weather eye on "whenis .this job going to be completed,when am I going to. slow down tomake it last a little longer." Whenit finally gets down to the lastfew days or weeks, sometimes theboss of the contractors has togo in and do some of the painting.The others leave to go to anotherjob just starting. Your costsmount up as a result.

This panelized method of con-struction which is being used inhouses and industrial plants allover the country has all of thecharacteristics that will produceeconomy and that wiHTallow youthe greatest amount of flexibilityof plan and arrangement withoutdoing a whole lot of special thingsthat cost money. Mass produc-tion of units that can be assem-bled into panels is low in cost be-cause millions are being madefor lots of uses in lots of places. Alarge market makes the price godown. If you eliminate a lot of

site labor and . the specialties,which you can do, and at the sametime get your flexibility andfreedom of movement for use,then I would be even inclined totake something I didn't like thelooks cf if I had to think aboutfooting the bill.

This is my theory relating to thisquestion of schools.and also thebuildings, and I think Structoschools have all these characteris-tics. I have no reservations on itsstructural strength or durability.The thing that is important is thatyou get something that is made inan industrial plant, that has tomeet the critical eye of many peo-ple who are not acquainted witheach other but know what theywant. You will get something agreat deal better than if it wasmade. just for your job. The sitelabor is dependent upon the con-tractor. If he is good, meticulous,you get a good job. But with thesame materials, used by a care-less contractor, you get a terriblejob.

The question of leakage, waterand- thermal resistance are allprovided in these panels so as totake care of whatever geographi-cal location and exposures thebuilding has.

It is also light, it does not needthe support of a heavy foundation.Sinking piles and caissons to sup-port a heavy concrete mat costsa tremendous amount of money.

On the John Hancock Buildingthe foundations, piles and con-crete, before they even started thebuilding, was 28 % of the total cost.Of course, they had the bright ideathat they had to go up a lot ofstories so anybody could see itfrom Boston.

The Johnson Wax plant in Mil-waukee cost $12.80 a cubic foot asagainst the $2 that we are talkingabout in school buildings. Thatwas for advertising—and also gaveFrank iDloyd. Wright a chance tospread his wings. If. you knowanything about Prank LloydWright that was not hard for himto do.

We have the same thing in ourauditorium where we have spreadour.wings and done somethingdifferent. This same sort of thingcarried into school buildings weare rieyer going to bs able to af-ford. I can see in the future some3f these buildings. will have sal-vage value, you can send themdown to lesser places. (Turningto Mr.: DeeganV You could buythem back at 25 cents on the dol-lar and sell it at 35 cents and thepoorer community will have abuilding out of something othersdon't want any more.

It is a critical situation in thissountry, using up exhaustible ma-terials. It is better to salvage. Thisis an element in my theory on howto :build buildings instead ofdumping them or burning themdown.

That is the extent of my exposi-tion on this thing. I am sure thatif you can say that you like theappearance of what comes out ofthis use you will be setting a pat-tern of what will go from coastto coast, because the pressure ofcost is upon us.

Pressure of .Cost and TimeIs Vital Building Factor

..Pressure of cost and time. Timeis also important. Trying to builda building like this one we are inis-. a'". question of a year or 18months to get one done, layingone..-brick upon another. I think,that this has the ; earmarks M ksolution to the problem confront-ing us all over the country today.In Arkansas and Arizona the cli-mate eliminates a lot of cost.

Here you have to have air con-ditioning in its broad sense, heat-ing and cooling. All of theseamenities add to the cost, 22% to56% today. We want air condi-tioning in the summer time, wewant refrigerated cool water, TVand all the rest. These don't meana thing to me. I don't own a TVset myself; it is too much of a timewaster. In Michigan State the stu-dents walk through the corridorsand there is a TV set in the wallso they can keep up and be reallybefuddled when they-go into-thenext class. These are not necessi-ties for education. I think the per-sonality, the method the teacherhas of motivating her students,her background of giving illustra-tions and thinking, all that, kind-ness, and everything else can domore to educate people than text-books or run-of-the-grade freehours and things of that kind.Don't lose sight of this, that, cou-pled with the expenses you aregoing to have on new schools forhousing these activities, you haveto give definite thought to raisingsalaries of teachers, you have togive them the motive to go intoteaching. We need them badly.Competent people are not going

into teaching today unless theirsoul says, "I am going to do thiseven if I don't have a loa'f of breadleft."

Here at the Institute each mem-ber has one day a week availablefor private consulting work so hecan amplify his salary. It is also agood experience which broadenshim and helps him motivate hisstudents better. Teachers shouldbe given this sort of thing too be-cause this is education.

The building has nothing to dowith education. At the Universityof Virginia in the summer timeclasses are held out of doors andbuildings are empty. Perfectly allright for history or English classesor something of that kind. Youhave to keep these things in mindwhen you think of school. The realobjective of school is to turn outintelligent, independent - thinkingyoung people who can answer thequestion of "why" every time somestatement is made. This is thekind of education we need.

KELLY: You were talking aboutsaving money in buildings withthese types of classrooms. Say theaverage classroom in the State of.New Jersey is somewhere around$30,000 a room fully equipped,what percentage otf that cost canwe save by using this type?

VOSS: If it is $30,000 you cancut it in two.

KELLY: Completely equipped?We can build a classroom forS12.00.0; but when we add corridors,cafeteria, gymnasia, etc., thatbrings the cost up to an averageof $30,000.

Cost ofCalled 'Inordinately'High

VOSS: I should say you cantrim that, provided. you- don't goInto too much multi-story con-struction, perhaps 20%. $30,000 isinordinately high, even. now. Idon't agree with you that youhave to have auditoria and gym-nasia as separate entities. It isperfectly possible to arrange aspace in a spare building con-nected by a court • or bridge toserve at times as a gymnasium,cafeteria and auditorium, buthaving surrounding rooms thatfurnish necessary equipment. Thisis being done in Norwood, Massa-chusetts, where an architect iscombining two rooms and a corri-dor. The Structo school has thepossibility of a two-story sectionwhich gives you some architec-tural appearance that can be usedsome way. The tendency today isto have Uaese as separate entities.This is fine because if you wantto have a really good locking audi-torium you have to build a lot intoit. It has to be different from theroom, used two hours ago forsomething else and some require-ments for each use have to be builtinto the room. If we tried to playbasketball in the auditorium atWellesley we would hit all thatgold leaf lying there at a total

loss. The senior high school builtin 1937 or 1938 cost about $850,-000 completely equipped and ithas a population of about 900students. So it was cheap. Theaddition we are going to put to itnow costs almost as .much as theoriginal building and suppliesabout half of the floor space. Thisis because of higher costs now.You have to make up your mindas to whether you have the moneyto provide these separate units.In some towns the town is com-bining the facilities of the townwith the auditorium for the useof a school on a campus site. Thisis true in new locations where thewhole picture is different. This isa possibility where you can getout of a thing of this kind facili-ties for the town activities as wellas for the school. But many havethem for each school and this isan unnecessary expenditure.

I think Mr. Deegan can tell youmore about the Stracto schoolthan I can. I think I have givenyou all the results, all that cameto me as I went over his drawingsand details, after Mr. Gregory vis-ited me, to re-assess my opinionof what I thought this thing was:structurally sound plus th e ele-ments of flexibility and time. And

also safety. For example, if halfyour power plant failed. In theusual situation if the power plantis out you shut down. But in thissituation each is a unit with itsown light and power plant and ifone goes out the others are stillall right.

GREGORY: Dr. Voss, some ofthese folks may be concerned withthe proposed heating arrange-ments, lighting, etc., some of thosedetails. Have you had a chance toconsider that?

VOSS: I never become excitedabout heating, air conditioning orlighting in any building. You canhave a great variety in the samespace by just changing the pat-tern, it doesn't cost any more tohave these components in a dif-ferent place, as long as it doesn'thave to be taken out and put inanother place. The chances forthese things not going wrong arevery great because these. Structopeople have made all the mistakesat someone else's expense and arepassing on their knowledge to you.You get the experience of a broadbase of what to do and what notto do, whereas on the individu-ally designed school the architectdoes a new thing and is not sureit will work out there just becauseit worked out in general in someother place. You can have theheating and lighting you want asyou want it, depending upon-yourpocketbook and what you thinknecessary. That is our incidentathinking.

But if you have got to heat largeareas that are not used and runpipe or long ducts to heat areasfar removed from your center oipower you are never going tcamortize those rooms by what youget out of the area in availableuse. People think of the first coswithout thinking about how muchit is going to cost later to operatea building. A conventional schoo-for the same price as Structo. buone of those that is spread arounclike that. Everyone would say tha'would be the answer. No. Fixedcharges start going on year afteryear and reduce the amount pos-sible for amortization. Whereas inthe Structo school charges are inevidence and you can quicklyamortize the cost of that school.

Actually you don't amortize thecost ol a school. Every architect'sthinking of the useful life of abuilding is different. But this ishow we design office buildings andplants and we should be takingthat kind of thinking into schools.This is what is 'happening, in someplaces: Private people are buildingschools and renting them to thetown. We have some figures on it.These people are not in businessfor love. They are furnishingrooms for less than the town canbuild, and maintain its own. Butyou have to think of the long-range cost. I am talking aboufurnishing the heat and light toareas far removed, year afteryear," without any use of the space.

One of bur concepts here aM.I.T., that goes back to whenDr. Bush was in charge here, ishow much each square foot ofspace is being used and when wewent in for additional space wehad to prove to ihim that we weregoing to use it 65 per cent of thetime or we did not get it.

I have a gripe, and this runsdiametrically against the opinionsof the NEA and teaching profes-sion, that we now have the con-cept that we should have about4 students per teacher. I was

educated under 54 students perteacher and I don't think I suf-ered. But I had a bang-up teach-

er. Six rows of nine students eachin every class there. Now we havet,he same size classroom and only24 students. That means moreteachers: I think most teacherswould be glad to double that ifwe double their salaries. Theywould do just as good a job, and:here would be more competitionand more association among thetudents. This is heresy from the

standpoint of ths NEA but that'swhat I think. Young people go toollege and get into a lecture room

With 500 freshmen to listen to ateacher doing a pretty good job.

We don't use our space, efficient-ly in. schools. There are any num-ber of schools that could take on25 per cent more students, put inmore seats, without building anactual school. I know that my edu-cation was not neglected on thatscore and I know that teacherspaid what they should be paid arenot concerned.

The progressive idea is whereyou give the students a six-gun, abolo knife, a bottle of sulfuric acidand an infernal machine and say'Now children, express your-selves!" You know what happens?They blow the damn place up! 'Where anybody ever got the con-cept that a youngster in school hashe background to know what isjood for him, I don't know. These

xids laugh up their sleeves overwhat they did in high school. Evenin our first grade rooms we now -have a room that has all the mudpies and running water in trays50 they can see the flow of thewater—to learn hydraulics! Theythrow chairs in corners. This isexpressing themselves. This is finein somebody else's place. But theseare all elements of the whole prob-lem and I recall them to you be-cause you remember you did notgrow up in such conditions and Iam sure your education wasn't ne-glected. How well educated a per-son is will depend upon himself,no matter what the roadblocks are.Our youngsters know what is go-ing oh and more than we do inmany respects. I don't want a stu-dent to laugh at me because I amtoo easy. I want him to respectand love me. Some hate me whilethey are in school &~-"3 years laterthey slap me on the back and say .something I taught them "hasserved me many, many times."We have this argument all thetime, about electives in courses,etc. There are high schools in thiscountry where a student does nothave to pass a single course inmathematics to graduate. How can.anyone live in this country withincome tax blanks and not knowmathematics? This has nothing todo with school. School authoritiesare thoroughly appreciative of itand they therefore have to followthe dictates of the community. IfI had my say I would abolish everyparent-teacher's organization inthe United States. They are tryingco tell experienced professionalpeople how to do a job that they

haven't been able to do at homebecause they happen to have anotion at the time Johnnie comeshome and cries to Momma. Mom-ma raises hell with the teacher.Is this training character?

DE COSTER: I heard you men-tion something about cost. Thereseemed to be a difference betweenthe possibility of building at $12per cube against a reasonable $2or $3.

VOSS: No. A school built likeShis one we are sitting in, even ifwe got rid of all this expensiveimestone, would be somewhere inthe neighborhood of $1.80 a foot•with all necessary equipment. Itwould be possible to build such aschool for probably $1.50 to $1.60a cubic foot or less. This is a sub-stantial saving. You are payingfor air, you are paying just asmuch • for it. Take a cubic footoff and save even 20c a foot. Ina. 3-million-cubic-foot installationyou are saving $6,000 to $8,000.which I think is a good bunch ofmoney to save, even these dayswhen we talk about billions. Iihink it could go further as ex-perience with this type of con-struction develops and as the costDf maintenance drops becausegreater demand and mechaniza-tion of production gradually re-duces prices. Even with additionalInflation the price shouldn't riseover a period of years. Inflationwill offset savings in material.

BURKE: You mentioned some-thing- about the height of class-rooms. In your opinion what isthe:best height?

VOSS: This is related to thesize. No one ought to design aroom where it looks like the ceil-ing is going to bop him on thehead. For the usual schoolroom,say 24 by 36 feet, relating to light,,it would be amply high if it were10 feet. But most of them are 12.The minute you add another twofeet per story you are adding to;he volume you have got to heator cool, inside and outside finish,weight, etc. These things pyramid.Even though you can get that ad-dition at a little less per foot thereis no sense in spending thatmoney.

of them to lhave lunch at theRitz-Carlton, which unques-tionably is the finest hotel inthe country today because ofits meticulous service, itswarm charm, its accent onthe nice amenities of enter-taining. I believe it remainsthe only hotel in the UnitedStates which has a complete,operating kitchen on everyfloor. It has no bars, butserves drinks in parlors—andall of its public rooms areladen with fresh flowers.After you have been to theRitz in Boston, you've had it.

After lunch, we arrangedfor a car to take our friendson a sight-seeing trip of thecity — the Library, BostonMuseum of Pine Arts, theold North Church and StateHouse, Faneuil Hall, theCharles River Esplanade,Harvard, M.I.T., Pie AUey,which is hard by newspaperrow where I once worked andfrom which I ignominiouslydeparted — these views ofBoston. I think some folkswhom we shall probablynever see again have a happyrecollection of the day.

$ * $ $This expense, I want to

say for the record, has beenborne by four of us—and notthe taxpayers. The Board,and those who were theirguests, paid only actual costsfor themselves. The rest ofus paid our own travelling-charges and entertained thecrew. This, with our meetingat M.I.T., was our contribu-tion towards our community—and free, adequate educa-tion—now.

Note Where?It was our purpose, in arranging an eval-

uation of modern school-building tech-niques by the nation's leading authorityon cbnstuction materials, to demonstratethat our community can .build adequateclassrooms and. still ayoid bankruptcy.

We confidently .feel-we have achieved thispurpose. We have been •.told, by incontro-vertible argument, that the price we havebeen paying for classrooms is "inordinatelyhigli." The question'which must be an-swered by the Board of Education now isv/liether we are to continue with these in-ordinate costs, or whether we are to availourselves of the economies which modernbull ding affords. We beJieve there can bebut one answer, and that it must be madepromptly. ' • " • ' - . '

One of our fears, in' the face of wantonbuilding expense, has been that when wewere finished we would be in no positionto pay for education. We are in a seriousdrought of teachers for the simple reasonthat:we do not pay our teachers adequatelyand we do not provide them with the neces-sities of their profession because we havebeen so profligate in our building practicestliers is not sufficient money to meet theserequirements. • •

After all, we must decide whether we areto have a quarter-of-a-millim-dollar sta-dium—which we have—.and •yhieh we usea few paltry days every year, or whether weare to set up afi adequate educational pat-tern-)" which will really contribute to theintellectual growth of children. We mustdecide whether we need a miniature Radio

jiuditorium which will be handsomes, or whether we will curtail inion in order to encourage young

id women to enter the teaching pro-I. Do we want education or do we pr.e-

fer*g]amour and show?Again, we believe the answers are ob-

vious. We insist, further, that we mustabandon at once any concept of buildingwhich permits the erection of a $3,100,000high school, less than half of which is avail-able for classrooms, and then divide ourstudent body into a morning and afternoongroup. "We had that miserable condition be-fore we spent $3,100,00.0—and jiow we arein debt to that extent without having im-proved a single iota the educational oppor-tunities of our youth. They still must catchbuses, they still are deprived the full poten-tial of extra-curricular activities, they can-not remain after school for help in difficultsubjects. We have all the frills, to be sure,but we have no sound, firm policy whichplaces teaching first. : "

"If you would accqrripfish this thing,"Professor Voss said, "and rid your schoolcosts of excessive frills, building so you can

accommodate the children you have withthe money you have, you will do a wonder-ful and big job that will be an example fromcoast to coast and border to border."

To do a big job requires big people.Do we have them?

GLASS 'MENAGERIE

The Small Independent CollegesThis is the time of year when citizens

in high income tax brackets, especiallythose who head large businesses or cor-porations, should seriously consider givingfinancial aid to the small independent col-leges of the United States.

We have mentioned the plights of thesmall colleges on earlier occasions, andwe feel that there is no need for us topaint a picture of the merits and accom-'plishments of these colleges in the UnitedStates. In case the reader is not aware ofit, the small colleges have produced mostof our Presidents, and most of the leadersin the field of industry today.

These small independent colleges, whichstress liberal arts, citizenship, characterand Christian living, to a greater extentthan the mass-production colleges can, arethe very foundation" of our heritage of in-dividuality and individual freedom. Theyare, however, caught in a rising costsqueeze that has made their financialplight most serious.

Between now and the end of the yearbusinesses, citizens and all those who canhelp, should make tax-free contributionsto these small independent colleges ofAmerica. Many larger corporations haveannounced plans of support, which pro-vide matching funds for every donationmade by an employe of said corporationto an independent college he attended, oris connected with through his family.

This program is profitable from two di-rections — increasing the interest M feeworking man in his Alma Mater, increas-ing contributions by getting a larger num-ber of graduates and former student togive (when they know #iey wi|l be creat-ing another gift), and" &y demonstratingto the public that: industry Is not goingto let the small independent college go bythe wayside. . ; ' ,

IUig§ GtfUgeColfls,Dr. Almqn F. Halpern, of Dallas, recently

told an audience attending a SouthernMedical Association meeting many chil-dren catch colds watching TV, "while ly-ing on the rug." Halpern said mold anddust on a rug can cause a .cold. .

It is an allergic type of cold, Halpernsays, and children sensitive to such mate-rial will often develop colds after close con-tact, such as lying on the floor watchingtelevision. Halpern suggests such rugs besprayed, and that stuffed furniture besprayed in the TV room, if there is sucha room in the house, when possible.

He says sprays can very effectively con-trol the materials ,and, particles which areoften airborne which cause these allergiccolds. . ; .;..

Although a vaccine is being perfectedwhich is expected to prevent all but themost serious types of colds, parents mightfind it profitable to spray stuffed furnitureand rugs, which may be dusty or moldy,in the television room.

While doing so, we suggest they alsospray the television sets, not that it willhelp the aroma caused by some shows, butin the hope that some of the sorrier pro-grams, which definitely cause' allergic re-actions, mentally or otherwise, might bemodified in their effect.

EDUCATION CONFERENCE:FIRST REPORT

The White House Conferenceon Education has come up withits first report. It was not ar-rived at, as some members havebeen .insisting, by a majorityvote. The purpose of this con-ference is not legislation, but abringing of light to the manyfeasts pi a complex problem.And its method of small-group•discussion, culminating in inter-pretation os the thinking of an"indicated majority," seems wellsuited to, .that purpose.

This first report, moreover,does not deal with the mostconcrete, most publicized, con-troversial, and speciously sim-ple issue before the parley:whether and how much the fed-eral government should aid localschools financially. Apparentlythe conference believes that oneshould think where and why

one is journeling before decid-ing- whether and how much one.can spend or must earn or boi-row or ask for the fare.

The report dealt with the pre-viously posed question: "WhatShould Our Schools Accom-plish?" And .the delegates, be-ing tnowledgeabJe people, tookaccount of the fact that boththe terms, ."schooling" tasd "ed-ucation" mean many things tomany people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Under-'the Capitol Dome§y «l. 4eseph Origins

TRENTON—Eighty-one legis-lators, experienced in a numberof professions and occupations,will begin to grind out a batchof new laws when the 180th NewJersey Legislature convenes atnoon on January 10.

As in previous years, lawyerswill predominate in both housesof the new Legislature. Of the21 State Senators, sixteen arelawyers. The remaining law-makers include two publishers,on of whom edits a nationalmagazine and the other a weeklynewspaper; a manufacturer, an

: engineer and a personnel super-visor.

Nearly half of the sixty mem-bers of the 1956 General Assem-bly are lawyers. They number 28.Four labor leaders will also servein the new House of Assembly,as well as five housewives, foursales executives, two business-men, three public officials, afruit grower, a chemical engi-neer, a church pastor; a whole-sale liquor dealer; a teacher, acontractor, a retired real estatebroker, two farmers and abanker.

Women lawmakers will repre-sent Essex, which has three;Ocean, Passaie and Union Coun-ties, which have one each. At-lantic, Cape: May, Cumberland,Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer,Morris, Somerset and WarrenCounties will be represented inthe General Assembly exclusive-ly by lawyers. Members of thebar in the Senate come fromAtlantic, Bergen, Burlington,Camden, Cape May, Cumber-land Essex, Gloucester, Hudson,Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex,Monmouth, Passaie, Union andWarren Counties.

The State Senate in 1956 willcomprise 14 Republicans and 7Democrats, while the GeneralAssembly will be made up of 40Republicans and 20 Democrats,the same as this year. The entiresixty members of the 1956 As-sembly were elected on Novem-ber 8 for two-year terms. ElevenState Senators were also -electedfor four-year terms. The termsof the remaining ten Senatorswill expire in 1958.

In accordance with custom,payday for the lawmakers willbe on January 10 when the 180th

session gets underway and they"are administered the oath of of-}flee. Each will receive a cheekyfor $5,000, which represents a"pay raise of $2,000 a year overjthe past several years.

FAVORITE SON: — New Jer-sey's Governor Robert B. Mey-ner will occupy the role of a"favorite son" candidate for•President when the DemocraticNational Convention gets under-way in phicago next August 13.

-State Democratic leaders feelthe enlarged delegation fromNew Jersey will be in a morestrategic position to deal withthe pulling and hauling activi-ties at the convention, if it isofficially pledged to Meynor forpresident.

'Present -plans call for sending116 delegates to the convention,most of whom will be empoweredto cast a half vote. The delega-tion will comprise 28 districtdelegates with one-half voteeach which paves the way for56 persons to attend the con-vention; 8 delegates at largewith one-half vote each, allow-ing 16- more persons to be sent toChicago; 28 alternate districtsplit by convention rules, and'8 alternate delegates - at - largewhose votes can be split in halfto allow 16 more persons to goto the Windy City.

Governor Meyner feels thatAdlai Stevenson is leading in theDemocratic presidential nomina-tion race with United StatesSenator Estes Kefauver, Tenne-see, second. Governor Harrimanof New York is also in the pic-ture as a presidential aspirant.

The Republican national con-vention will be .held in Chicagoone week later, starting August20. New Jersey Republicans arehoping (President Eisenhower'shealth will permit him to seekre-ele,etion. If so, the New Jerseydelegation will be pledged to hiscandidacy.

TY COBB: Ambition to im-prove , and go higher in anyphase of life is the recipe of suc-cess, Ty Cobb, famous GeorgiaReach xjif baseball fame, toldGovernor Robert B. Meyner dur-ing a recent visit to the StateHouse.

Huge bonuses being paid to

youngsters these days by majorleague teams stops that ambitioncold, Cobb said. The man whoholds the record of stealing 96bases in 1911, also declared thatsuch bonuses also peeve the reg-ular and older .players, thuscausing dissension in the ranks.

"It's only natural that theregular players who did not geta wanted pay raise at the begin-ning of the season are going tohaze him," said Cobb. "They'renot going to like him and thathurts the boy. They'll give it tohim at the hotel, on the train,on the streets, everywhere. It'sjust bad for the boy, that's all."

To become a good hitter, Cobbadvises boys to use the spreadgrip on the bat; that is, to holdthe hands four inches apart onthe bat. This gives the battergreater control over the bat, andmore hits, he claims.

AUTO DEATHS:—MiddlesexCounty leads the tragic paradeof the dead whose lives weresnffed out in traffic accidentsthus far this year.

Up to last week, 57 personswere killed by cars in MiddlesexCounty in 1955, although moreaccidents usually occur in themore populous counties. EssexCounty had 55 accidents, whileBergen County experienced 51deaths by autos.

More people have died fromcars in Atlantic County this yearthan in crowded Hudson County.Atlantic had 49 deaths and Hud-son, 48.

December 5. 1955Mr. Charles E. Gregory,Editor, Independent-LeaderWoodbridge, New JerseyDear Sir:

Your lead editorial on Decem-ber 1, 1955, deserves high praise.I commend you and ferventlyhope that you will ferret out theinstigators ,cf this prastiee.

I sincerely hope that yoxi willseverely criticize thoss membersof the Board cf Education whohave approved this method ofusing the taxpayers' meney.

I suggest .thai; Mr. Neary bfiasked to state why he has or-dered large qixantiti:s of stonewithout benefit of bid price. Ialso think that Mi-. Nearyshould be required to tell us whyhis committee planted pansiesthroughout the school systemwithout first giving thought toproviding proper playground fa-cilities for the children at theInman Avenue sshcol.

Sincerely,"MRS. TAXPAYER"

December 5., 1955Mr. Charles E. Gregory,Editor, Indepsndent-LeaderWocdbridge, N. J.

As one who has felt a decidedinterest in ehe.Republican Partyand who believes implicitly in thetwo-party system, I hope thatthe current conflict between afew disgruntled persons and thelocal Republican party does notbecome any further an undigni-fied free-for-all. I believe thatArnold S. Graham, RepublicanMunicipal Chairman, has donean excellent and honorable joband he should not lend dignityto the cheap publicity babbledout by the few, by replying tosuch untrue statements. I sin-cerely hope that the public re-alizes it is just two persons andtwo or three of their satelliteswho are causing all the "war-fare."

Who first mentioned "dirty,mud-slinging campaign?" WOW!

I interpret the gibberish, whichhas been handed out as designedto rip apart the character of artindividual through spite. In around-about way it is an attemptto insult the very thoughts and

opinions of anyone whowithin the past few years,in any way sympathetic to the Igcal Republictn cause. Furthmore, it seems also indirectlysigned to destroy completelyrestoration, of the two-party %tern in Wood-taridge Township, ftinterpret the two-parly system &§•meaning two-party j-epresenta^,tion within our elected governingbody — and I am all for it! '1}X

I am sure .that there are adulik•minds still within, or otitainabig"by; the Republican Party to ne jrpreserve the dimity and nespee|that goes witn serving .the pubs-lie interest. Children with theieerratj,e self-control do not be*;long |n anything as serious astour local government. (My apol<ogies to all eight-year olds.) I*

One 4oe& not have to be £anat^ically Bepublican or Democraticto choose a party and work f^its interests. It is a way of a fcountry for free people toan active and informed part iasthe "affairs of their government?—national, State or local. But, i ^sur,e doesn'£ Sgem either fanat--fically.Republican .or Democratic,*,or cricket, to blast publicly yourSfown party. Despite defeats you*jsimply, ,with" tact and dignity,*struggle along if you are sincerein 'your belief. Most every family^prefers to keep their battles in-their oirai house, but you never-can tell, how mush the childrenare going to spread around!

Thank you for allowing me to -express myself, which I haven'thalf done, frut I'm not going fco-ask to be blasphemed!

Opinion 'of Others(Continued from Editorial Page)of others," ".ethical Taehaviorbased on a sense of moral andspiritual values," "aesthetic" ap-preciation and self-expression inthe arts" — to name a few.

The delegates, the report in-dicates, are in accord that theAmerican people are committedto providing opportunity to allwithout discrimination for afree public education, leavingthe choice open as to whetherthe opportunity is exercised by.way of public or private schools,and that the -continued successof our democratic way of life re-quires .that every individual beafforded that education neces-sary to enable' him to make anintelligent choice and to effectnecessary compromises on mat-ters of public policy.

And it hints the parley feelsthat while public education isprimarily a local function, nolevel of government "should berelieved' of its appropriate re-sponsibility."

The great value of qualifiedand nationally spotlighted con-ferences such as this is not thesetting up of one more pressuregroup, but bringing into focusmany ideas and opinions frommany walks of life as a basearound which public opinion canform and upon which govern-ment can map out its course ofaction. Thus far the 1955 White

House Conference on Educationseems to be fulfilling this func-tion. — The Christian ScienceMonitor.MAN AT C3IZH

With the priqes ,ci: -the nation'sso-called basic commodities unrder unrelenting ' pressure ifrciiithe huge gluts piled up underour post-war .system of high,rigid price supports and with thefawner caught in a squeeze tae^tween lagging .farm prices andthe rising cost of industrial ma-terials and labor, Secretary of,Agriculture Benson has been un-der political pressure from Re-publican politicians to steal theshow from the Democrats bypulling a Republican rabbit outof the hat. As for the politicalopposition, it is not only deter-mined to present the farmer tothe public and to himself gs adrifting economic derelict, butto create the- impression . thatMr. Benson's sole "program"consisted of the restoration offlexible price, suports f-.-i thebasic comodities.

This is a caricature with littleresemblance to .the truth. It isno reflection on any of Mr. Ben-son's predecessors to say that hehas probably been the most ac-tive and hardworking Secre-tary of Agriculture we have everhad. He has spent much of histime exploring, the problem atits grass roots or travelingabroad to see what he could: do <about stimulating the sale of •some of the surpluses that are •weighing so heavily on the mar-ket. (And he has succeeded, in-cidentally, in doing a greatdeal.)

As for the myth that he isunresponsive to suggestions foradditional programs, Mr. Bensonhas said repeatedly that he isopen to any and all proposalsthat will help us to achieve Jhesound agricultural policy we areseeking. That is quite a differentthjng, of course, from sayingthat he is prepared to adapt anyproposal merely because it isoffered as a panacea. The Sec-retary's statement .that lie willintroduce a proposal for a -soil'bank before Congress is typicalof his approach to such policies.The present version, he ex-plained, is the sixth consideredby his department, and the firstfound aceptable. However, thereare still details to be worked out,and he intends to submit the.plan for .approval to the Na-tional Agricultural AdvisoryCommission when the lattermeets in Washington a fortnightfrom now.

Mr. Benson apparently be-lieves — and we share this viewwith him — that the long-termproblem of the farmer is not go-ing to be solved by introducinga program just to "do some-thing." He would probably addthat the legislation you don'treject because it is unsound canat .times be more important thanlegislation you propose. The rec-ord-breaking government - held,commodity surplus that we findin our hands today is convinc-ing evidence of the soundness ofthat philosophy. — New YorkTimes.

It seems the easiest thing inthe world to feed a baby. Then:you start to do.it and that is the~end of that idea. You never knovf.whether the baby is taking the'food too fast or if he is getting"enough.

Most adults don't realize that,one must learn to swallow solid"foods. It is not as simple and na-;tural as breathing. A new babymust learn new uses of his tongueand throat muscles when he firstbegins to eat finely-strained babyfoods.

Patience is the key to dealingwith children and babies. This isdoubly true during the first weeksof learning. Some babies learn fas-ter than others. You must helpthe baby learn to eat without forc-ing him.

It is best to introduce new foods *one at a time, and in very smallamounts. A new flavor or a newtexture most often meets with re- .sistance on the part of the baby. •-Don't worry, however, he will be-:"come used to new things and wilt"accept them.' I t is usually a slow*process.

Never try to force new foods on-him — simply introduce it again.the next day. Another good sug--lgestion is to offer new foods at the!beginning of the meal,, when baby;is hungry, rather than when his,appetite is satisfied.

Be very careful when feeding a"baby. Their mouths are tender ancfeasily bruised. When the baby is.a little- older, his gums may imi-tate him and here "again patience^in abundance is .important. Be-fcareful during feeding that yottdo not strike a tender spot where"a new tooth Js about to come*through.

The N.J.S.I.A.A., the dictators of scholastic spqrts,met Tuesday afternoon to decide the various sectionalfootball champions, and when their get-togetherreached its conclusion, Plainfield was crowned theGroup IV Central Jersey champs over Wpodbridge.

We are not familiar with the Colliton Rating Sys-tem which Mr. Walter Short and his committee swearby since it cemented the Barrons 5.8 points behindthe Union County eleven even though they failed tolose to a Group IV school during the entire 1955 sea-son. Plainfield, on the other hand, dropped a decisionto Asbury Park and tied .Woodbridge. The Colliton sys-tem establishes a set of points for each school in thestate but fails to consider its locality, its; presentstrength and its past records.

In other words, the Barrons could muster morecounters by playing the patsies from North Jersey thanthey can from taking on Linden, South River andCarteret who are usually tough.

We are not attempting to take anything away fromPlainfield—they deserve the title—but no more thanthe Barrons. Our neighbors fattened up by playingsuch Group IV schools as Barringer and Columbia, whocannot rate with the Central Jersey squads.

In all fairness, the N.J.S.I.A.A. should have madethe Cardinals and Barrons co-champions of CentralJersey—we think the move' would have made every-one happy. Coaches Nick Priscoe and Frank Capraroand the Red Blazers can find some solace from theruling Coach Frank McCarthy received years backwhen his club completed an undefeated season butfailed to win a championship. The N.J.S.I.A.A. claimedCarteret, a Group II school, played too many GroupIII clubs during the course of the season to receive con-sideration for a Central Jersey title. As Priscoe statedearlier this week, "Wait until next year."

New Little LeagueMove is Forbidden

LEWISBURG, Pa. — FormerLittle League Baseball Commis-sioner Carl E. Stotz was under aFederal court order restraininghim from attempting to organizea new league for the nation's smallfry players. ^ ..

The order was handed down yes-terday by U. S. District CourtJudge Frederick V. Follmer aftera long series of meetings in hischambers on an injunction peti-tion filed against Stotz by l i t t l eLeague Baseball, Inc. The orderwill remain in effect until thehearing resumes tomorrow.

The league asked for the in-junction when Stotz, founder ofthe league which governs the playof 250,000 boys up to the age of12, attempted to form a newleague after he was fired from his$14,000 post as commissioner lastmonth. Stotz wants to get leaguesin various States to join a newgroup called "The Original LittleLeague."

Most of yesterday's hearing wasconducted behind the closed doorsof Judge Follmer's chambers. Hemet with attorneys for both sides,the league's directors and Stotz.

John C. Gault, an attorney fromWilliamsport, Pa., where theleague has its headquarters, wascalled into one meeting to testify.After the session, he said he toldthe judge the Little League Was"not the brain product of Stotzalone."

Gault said two other couplesworked with Stotz m ironing outthe "details" of the league, butStotz "took all the credit."

an-d Industry reports.State Labor Commissioner

Carl Holderman claims for themost part, these layoffs wereonly pauses in one of the busiestseasons in several years sincestatewide employment levels inthe industry have held remark-ably steady during the pasc threemonths. ,

The proportion of garmentworkers among the unemployeddid increase slightly because ofthe in-and-out character of sea-sonally tied production sched-ules, the - Commissioner said.Unemployment today, he claims,is largely of the between-: obsvariety.

Predictions are that unem-ployment in New Jersey will in-crease not only because of sea-

sonal layoffs but largely as theresult of persons entering thelabor market to seek pre-holidayjobs. Manufacturing . industriesproducing for the Christmastrade will also tend to progres-.sively slow down and add to un-employment.
