educational opportunity li con
cerned.
Even within a single system,
some schools arc far better than
others.
In large metropolitan centers
where both affluent suburbs and
miserable-slums exist within the
city limits, parents in the
wealthy areas fight fdr a bigger
slice of the system's financial
pic to be allotted to their schools
—and frequently get it.
As a result some slum schools
wind up with nothing redeem
ing and everything wanting.
The city slum child is not the
only one, however, who is being
educationally shortchanged. Ru
ral schools, too. have an uphill
struggle in bringing educational*
programs up to par, although
district consolidation has help
ed.
Quoting a prominent educa
tion writer, Mr. Kaufman said,
“In some poor Appalachia coun
ties, the schools spend' on four
children what the suburbs spend
on one; the son of a commuter
earning $30,000 a year gets his
boots free while the children
of jobless mountaineers must
buy theirs.
A child’s educational oppor
tunity should not be dependent
on where he lives or how much
money his father earns. Nor
should he be cheated because of

his academic ability ... or lack
of it.
The educational fashion in the
lute fifties was to concentrate on
the gifted child; since the early
sixties emphasis has swung to
those of lower academic ability,
especially the culturally disad
vantaged.
The result is now that the av
erage child I; gleaning the edu
cational left-overs. As someone
has said, we’re so busy helping
the poor students and spurring
on the gifted that the great mid
dle group is vastly neglected.
Educational inequality really
threatens the world of the edu
cationally privileged, Mr. Kauf
man noted, adding; “America
cannot maintain a system of edu
cational ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots.’
Our commitment to full equality
of educational opportunity must
become a reality.”

BELATED
A Pumpkin's Pleo
I iat on the ground
And grew nice and round
In a great open field
With my sisters and brothers.
One day 1 was found
And brought into town
And placed on display
Amongst hundreds of others.
I’m here on display
Please look my way
And choose me someone
For your Big Celebration
Carve me a face
Put me in a place
Where I can be seen
In grim scary elation.
Don’t let me die
A mere Pumpkin Pie
I’d like to do something
Big, Bold and Bright
Like frighten a ghost
Off your back fence or Post
Let me Light up the World
For one Halloween Night!
