Turkish Education Explained (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Turk ish exchange student st Frank lin High continues writing a bout Ufe in his country.) By ADEM UNAL Alter studying for five years in elementary school, a student may go to a secondary school. The six year course Is split into two pe riods. The first three years are attended in a middle school. At the end of middle school, there is a graduation examination for ad mission to a high school. There is again a graduation examination at the end at high school. The vocational education is the same, only this education is five years In two peiods, instead of six years as in secondary educa tion. The school year begins after the middle of September and ends a baut the first week in June. It is divided into two administrative sessions with 32 hours of work each week. The curriculum in middle school consists mainly of Turkish his tory, geography, civics, current events, mathematics, physics, chemistry, a foreign language, art, nature study, music, physical edu cation, home economics, handi crafts (elective fur girls) or agri culture (elective for boys). In high school, philosophy, psycho logy, military science, advance geometry, algebra, trigonometry, q imposition, geology, astronomy, logic, and seciology are added. In 1955 and 1956 six high schools were opened whete all sub jects, apart from Turkish and so Economists Give Livestock Poultry Outlook For 1961 , "Greater numbers of livestock and poultry during the next 12 months will have an abundant supply of feed grains and a close balance ?:{ high protein feeds." So states the Feed Survey Com mittee of the American Peed Manufacturers Association, which is composed of 24 "college and ex periment station men, represent ing all areas of the United States. The 1981 spring crop will be 10 pec cent larger than the 1960 cial science, are taught entirely in English. In this way, it is ex pected that when students are graduated they will all be profi ciently bl-Ungual. The government had long sought to put such sohcMs tn operation and if the ex periment Is successful as It Is ex pected to be, other foreign lang uage schools might be opened. It is true that, after this attention, many schools were opened, over and over, in which the subjects are in English. In the schools, grades and pro motions are decided by periodic tests and yearly final examina tions. We may go to the university after a comprehensive baccalaur eate examination for university en trance. During the first year in the life of the republic ? 1923 ? there were 72 middle schools and 23 high schools in the entire country with a combined staff of 1,300 teach ers and an enrollment of 7.000 stu dents. Today, there are 550 middle schools, 102 high schools. 8,403 teachers, and about 200.000 stu dents. About 20,000 are graduated! each year from the middle schools and 8,000 from the high schools. I'll tell about higher education in Turkey in my next writing. spring crop, acczTdlrg to the committee. Beef cattle numbers are expected to be up 4 per cent during 1961. Increases of 7 per cent a:e anticipated in both tur keys and broilers. Numbers of layers may be down 4 per ceot. HLIwever, relatively little change is expected in production of dairy and sheep and lambs. The calculated feed balance for the year ahead indicates high pro tein feed use to be within 1 per cent of estimated supplies and an excess of grain supplies by more than SO per cent. It's anticipated that total of 131 million tons of feed will be used. The 1960 fall pig crop is esti mated to be 41400,000 head, which is 4 per cent less than the pig crop of the preceding fall. It is estimated that a proximate ly 54,000,000 pigs will be produced in the spring of 1961, which is 10 per cent more than in the spring of 1960. The average number of layers for the feed year beginning Octo ber 1, 1960, will be aproximately 285,000,000, which is a 4 per cent decrease from the previous year. This decline is expected, due to the small number of replacement pullets raised during 1960. , The number of chickens raised i far replacement purposes during I the calendar year 1961 is expected I to increase by 10 per cent for a 1 total of 313,000,000. Commercial broiler production for the calendar year 1961 will total 1,925,000,000. This is an in crease of 7 per cent over 1960. It is predicted that 88,000.000 turkeys will be raised during 1961, which represents a 7 par cent in crease over 1960, most of which will be with heavy rather than [Pigs-in-BlanketsJ ?aan NEW! holiday hostess helpers from Dulanq 5 festive new frozen roll prod ucts ? tender-light pastry rolls, filled to bursting with luscious f meat, fish or dessert-fruit fill ings.

The number of cows to be milk- j, ed in 1961 is cxpected to be 19, 400,000. The down-trend in cow numbers has leveled and appears that it may turn up slightly in 1961. The increases in cow num bers in fluid milk a eas tend to ! be offset by declining numbers in other areas. i Total milk production of 127.1 . billion pounds is an increase of 1 slishtly more than 1 per cent over 1900 and is the result of a slight increase in cow numbers coupled with a 1 per cent increase in yield per cow. The rise in yield will be due to heavier wain feed ing to better cows. Beef cattle numb s are ex pected to increase 4 per cent dur ing 1961. Cattle slaughter is ex pected to increase by 5 to 10 per dent over 1960 in. the year ahead.
