LEAGUE STANDINGS
School Teacher Lauded
In Campbell's Rotary Talk
Superintendent of Clare Public
School, Tom Campbell, was the
speaker at ROtary's regular Wednesday noon lunch meeting this
week.
"What the Classroom Teacher
Is Trying To Do", was the topic of
Campbell's talk. He told the- Ro-
tariaus that the everyday work of
the classroom teacher is what
really - makes the educatipnal
wheels go, 'round, and that this
same teaclier should be granted a
little more .than the usual credit
for the good work the schools are
doing.
Campbell said' there are six ways
in which the classroom teacher offers a modern program of better
teaching in these days: 1) He is
trying* to do a more effective job
of teaching the three R's; 2) Develop students better equipped to
earn a living; 3' Emphasis on human relations and International
understanding; 4> Offering students a more varied program of
studies and activities; 5) He is
trying to increase the holding
power of schools, (preventing
quits and drop-outs); 6) He is trying to cooperate more fully with
the home and community.
The speaker rejected' the arguments of fault-finders who sa>'
that public schools don't do their
job completely, when they fail to
teach Three R fundamentals, Modern education is called upon to do
more than just fill a child's head
with facts; it must help prepafe
the student to take his" place in
life and in his community, was the
theme of his answer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR .-
Reader Urges Action By
Lake George Group
To The Editor:
How do* you like the control of
the speed demons on Lake George,
that the meeting Some five weeks
ago provided? Neither do any of
us, and we. are fed us on stalling,
and Want immediate actioh. We
all know where the hold up lies and
we are giving notice that unless
immediate action is taken to remedy the intolerable condition that
still exists on Lake George, another
meeting will be called and those
put in command that we know will
get results.
On the day of the meeting some
five weeks--ago, a great number of
us donated our dollars to meet the
expense of setting «p a control of
the speed demons (especially-the
gay with the brick dust colored
pancake slapper, that has no respect for himself, or any stilt fisherman on the lake). Cottagots* w*;
ara rffoperty -owners and" taK pay
ers of Lake George." Let's nut" a
stop to it quick. Budd Lake started woceedings, the same time
Lake George started theirs, theirs
is in operation* ours should be.
Let's put a stop to this dilly dallying, and ifnish what we started
some five weeks ago.
Speaking for the. majority M the
cottagers Of Lake George, I am
for immediate action

Judge Donald E, Holbrook spoke
in explanation of a bill for reapor-

polls, provides for a Michigan; Son-
ate as at present, with but two new
seats added. One from Oakland
County and the other from Macomb.
It proposes to re_portion the
House on-the basis of population,
With ail increase of 10 new members.
The bill is said to have the Support of all citizens except CIO
members and "fringe" political organizations.
•Others who appeared at the rally
were: Mrs.-Harold "Schaeffer, president of tlie Republican Women's
Clul}.; Ra© C. Hookeiy Michigan

Ralph Claggett, pastor of the garrison Congregational Church, who
gJive the "Invocation; Leonard
Klaasse, soloist; and many other
state officials including Charles
Zlegler, iState Highway Oohuhis*
sioner.
The women who sponsored the
affair thanked Royal Akins, who
loaned a piano, ahd all committees
and workers who helped make the
picnip and rally a success.
We doubt that there was an un-
derstaricfing to the effect that dues
in the Lake George association
Were collected for the purpese of
"control of the spee*l demons", of
for control of any one particular
"guy", Raider* It seems more likely that the association would be for
the purpose of community good
arid a compromise agreemeHt with
recreation for all tastes.    Ed.
