Letters From Oar Readers:
Editor's
Mailbag
Suggests upgrading
TO THE EDITOR:
America's Education Should Be Upgraded
The foundation should be laid in the lower grades by
proper guidance in the early stage of a child's life in
order to make progress in our changing society. If this
is done, the child is in position to climb the ladder step
by step until he or she has reached its goals. If this is
done, the child is in the right channel that leads to pro
gress and enjoyment. This is the only way to upgrade
our schools for better Americans.
It has been recorded that many of our high school
graduates are not reading and writing well enough to 1
compete with our changing society. It is too bad that the
foundation was not laid in the lower grades but only
created a major problem in the pupil s life. Children
should be taught the basic skills, such as reading,
writing, mathematics, science and vocational training. (
I believe the quality of life depends on education in
our society. Therefore I urge the local government, the ,
state government, and the national government to pro
vide an environment that enables each individual to en- {
joy equal rights and to pursue a full and complete life j
regardless of race, creed, or sex. I

The total cost for the new
fence came to $8,466.50
with the work being com
pleted near the projected
date. Some slow down in
work was caused by recent
bad weather.
The seven-foot fence is
designed with an extra rail
midway for additional sup
port and has an extra
galvanized coating.
One worker at the pro
ject site described it as
"one of the finest he'd ever
seen" and Superintendent
Pat Harrell expressed
pleasure with the project
calling it "a welcomed

A thought for the 4th
Each July 4th I count my
lucky stars America has a
representative government
and the individual free
doms inherent with such a
system.
But lately, I've won
dered, "Can such freedoms
long exist in a nation .whoee
moral values are collapsing
all about?" Morality
cannot be legislated. We
cannot expect representa
tive government to provide
values to a people living in a
moral vacuum, uur ays
tem cannot provide mean
ing to one's life. It can only
provide a channel through
which our moral energies
can be directed. Thus, if we
lose moral values what,
then, will we channel
through our System?
