I Conservation Is Still Good Buy Says ASC Office Conservation is sitill a good buy, according to Ralph Harrill, County Office Manager of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, who noted that to the farmer on the land, purchase of conserva tion is by far the best by. Con servation returns dividends im mediately in many cases and in all cases for years to come, he added. Hairrill reminded Cleveland County farmers that the 1960 Ag ricultural Conservation Program is Still open for the sign up of new participants. Through the ACP this “good buy” of conser vation is made even better by the government sharing part of the cost of the conservation. The government’s willingness to bear a part of this cost, Harrill ex plained, comes from the fact that all good conservation of ag ricultural resources is a long term program that benefits not just the farmers, but all people. Harrill urged farmers who have ia conservation need to come by (the county ASC office and discuss their needs with the k ASC personnel. After this dis ¥ cussion f armers whose needs can be met through the program could then sign up for needed conservation practices under the 1960 ACP. Conservation is a good buy for the farmer but it is also a good buy for townspeople when they, through the government, share with the farmer some of the out- J of-pocket cost of carrying out needed practices, Harrill contin ued. Townspeople have a defi nite Stake in conservation of our agricultural resources ito assure that their sons and daughters and future generations of our rapidly expanding population will be able to obtain sufficient food and raw materials from the farm, he added Brought before a judge, a Mil waukee, Wis., woman admitted starting nine fires in hope of re sparking her romance with her fireman boy friend. She said she set all the fires in a two-block area, hoping to bring her boy friend back to the area where their romance began. Teaching Machine Is On The Way Editor’s Note?—Schools come in all shapes and sizes. Some are tall and some are short; some are large and some are small. Some reflect ithe sun in shiny glass and metal and some are ivy covered, yet they have one thing in common—children. Parents, too, come in many shapes and sizes and they, too, have something in common with other parents and with schools— children. Schools and parents are much alike. They believe in chil dren. “What did you learn today?” To help provide an answer the Kings Mountain Herald in coop eration with the North Carolina Education Association, presents a series of articles concerned with parents, schools and teach ing. We, TOO, believe in chil dren. “Please, Miss Jones,” Mary said, “will you tell me what I learned today? Every night my Daddy wants to know!” RALEIGH — All this talk a bout teaching machines and oth er mechanical monsters in the classroom leaves the average mother (who is often hard-put to replace a fuse) feeling a little faint. The mental picture of her Johnny learning reading or a rithmetic or French from a “tea cher” who looks more like Uni vac than Miss Jones is far from reassuring. She wonders if all education will be dehumanized in the next few years. The answer, according to Dr. A. C. Dawson, executive secretary of the North Carolina Education Association, is an emphatic no. “Children in the modem schools of North Carolina will soon learn from these machines, but we can rest assured that no mechanical monster will replace Miss Jones in the classroom,” he states. Just as educational television has helped the teacher, so will the teaching rpachines, for they are on the way to the modern child’s classroom.

McGinnis FURNITURE COMPANY Phone'322 South Battleground Avenue duction far general Classroom teaching. The Department of Au dio-Visual Instruction of the Na tional Education Association re cently published a bibliography which reveals that there are now no less than -25 different mac hines in actual use. Thirteen companies are manufacturing these machines, and more than 13 research and education groups are developing programs for the machines. According to /these research and education specialists, the teaching machine, far from ma king teaching less personal, will make it more so. The machines leave the teacher free for the more creative aspects of teaching —including more individual at tention to students and more conferences with their parents. A machine, after all, cannot hold discussions, debates, con duct demonstrations, or diagnose a student’s adjustment or learn ing problems, or smile as she helps a first grader don his over shoe$. These are the things only a real live teaehetr can do — and can do more effectively, when she is backstopped by a machine to take care of some of the re petitive or mechanical drill work which is a necessary part of all learning. “The teaching machine,” wri tes William H. Allen, editor of the Audio-Visual Communica tion Review, “signifies a major breakthrough toward the eman cipation of the teacher to fill his proper instructional role.” Although mother may never have a talk to ‘a teaching mac hine, she will talk about them. Most machines have two win downs which the student faces. The study problem or question appear in one window. The student punches out his answer. The machine then indicates whe ther or not the answer is correct. The (Student may not proceed to the next (problem until he gives the correct response. Somewhat like trying to unlock a safe — you musit have the right combin ation to enter. And the machines have the eternal patience of the safe lock, unlike most human beings, and can repeat an ex planation over and over without tiring and without irritation. Among other advantages to automated learning, say some of the experts, are these: the stu dent proceeds at his own speed; difficult tasks or materials can be broken down into easy pro gressive steps; errors are imme diately made known to the stu dent and he can correct them; the student becomes an active, rather than passive observer — he, and he alone must provide answers when he’s face-to-face with the machine. Teaching machines are being developed by the new age of re searchers for the coming new age of boys and girls. As the new age of researchers were educa ted for better things, so are they in turn helping to educate their children for still newer ages yet to come.
