Editorially Speaking
Setback To The Community
A serious setback to the community is the abandon-
ment of adult education classes at the Dallas High School.
It is a matter of dollars and cents, depending entirely
upon millage. If the program cannot be financed, it has
to go by the board. Area school boards are up against
stone wall.
When the adult evening school was first projected,
it was an outgrowth of a PTA project launched by the
Dallas Borough, and housed at Dallas Township high
school.
An earlier evening school sponsored by the Recrea-
tion Department had fallen through after a trial run. It
was housed at the present Westmoreland building.
With the adoption of an adult educational program
by Dallas District, people who had very little outlet for
their desires to improve themselves, found themselves
hobnobbing with folks who worked during the day but
‘seized the chance to learn a language, paint a picture,
or improve their typing at night.
Interchange of ideas was valuable.
We know one person who embarked upon a career,
entirely based on impetus gained from an evening class.
~ Many former typists polished up their work.
Many women discovered the delights of sketching in
black and white, or translating an autumn hillside into
a riot of color on canvas. !
Dozens learned how to turn a length of material into
* a modish dress.
Education, we believe, is not entirely for the young.
It is for people who really WANT to discover and create,
folks who are anxious to learn, and willing to share their
dearly-bought wisdom with others.
The adult education program was something to which
a resident could point with pride, a come-on for potential
future residents, a step toward a far-seeing community.
Too often this area has not been able to see the forest
for the trees.
We have passed up chance after chance to preserve
some small area of park space within our crowded areas.
We are now passing up an opportunity to make our
area outstanding in another way.
Education costs money. Schools cost money. Custo-
dians cost money. Teachers cost money.
It is going to skyrocket. It is skyrocketing now.
It is going to cost more and more, because the de-
mands are greater and greater.
Considering the overwhelming total bill, can we
afford to abandon a proportionately minor cost, when
the cost will render a needed service to the community?
There are plentv of people who think that anything
beyond the classic Three R’s is a waste of time and the
taxpayers’ money. They will tell you: “Well, look at ME.
I never had nuthin dona for me when I was a kid. J got
. ont and'duo for it. And I'm makin’ more than any of them
high priced teachers.”
There is no percentage in arguing the point.
The fact that the uneducated are invariably jealous
of those with a diploma, is completely natural.
There was a lot of sane and sensible education to be
obtained in a one-room school. The small ones learned
from the older pupils. Many presidents of the United
States started their careers by learning their spelling
lessons in a one-room school.
One-room schools were what we had. And the idea
of a grown-up going to school would have been laughed
down.
Education never ceases. It requires an open mind.
It is a great advantage if there is a community focus
where people who want to learn, can go and do so, meet-
ing with other peonle who have the same desires.
We feel that this area should not satisfy itself with
education which ends with graduation from high school.
It should offer open doors to those who are eager to
keep their minds alert and growing.

Speaks At Convention
“Ted R. Johnson
DALLAS, PL
From—
Pillar To Post...
by HIX
So many people have inquired about that dog-bite, that it seems
timely to state that nothing happened, and that the dog, so far as
we can determine, is doing well. :
It was a spectacular looking wound, but. unfortunately it could
not be put on exhibition. Social usage forbids.
Three weeks later it is barely visible, the black and blue fading
into green and finally into a pale yellow, whence it just sort of dis-
appeared into the surrounding scenery.
It was interesting while it lasted, and made a rip-snorting col-
umn at a time when columns were hard to come by.
Lucky it didn’t happen last year, on the brink of a trip to Eng-
land and Ireland. ;
It wouldn't have made sense to take off by plane while still
nursing a reminder of what it feels like to win an gropalanty con-
test with a police dog.
That trip I still can’t believe that it happened. Every
step that brought it nearer was a milestone. Badgering the State
Department into admitting that if I hadn't been born I was a very
lively sort of a non-ghost; making connections with a passport, losing
the passport along with a wad of cash and a round trip ticket to
Shannon Airport, finding the items after a somewhat sleepless night,
that was only the beginning.
The real bang was mounting the ramp to the plane at Kennedy
International Airport, and hearing the jet engines scream as the
big bird took off.
Out over that wide dark ocean, high above the clouds.
And dawn meeting the plane, pink clouds beneath, with a tiny
shadow of the plane riding along, down under, microscopic in soace,
and nothing, absolutely nothing else in all the circle of the horizon.
Not exactly frightening, but remindful of how. small we are in
relation to the universe.
A swoop down through the clouds, and there we were at the
Shannon Airport, no prevue of the landing except for one split sec-
ond of bog land rising to meet the plane.
Going by sea is far longer, in point of time, but there is that
long, leisurely voyage, where you can’t be reached by telephone
unless in’ dire emergency, where you can sun yourself in your deck
chair, where there is a comfortable cabin awaiting you for an after-
noon nap. ;
Absolutely nothing to do, and what a delighitil, change if it
doesn’t last too long.
The blue of the Gulf Stream, with the propeller churning up
what looks like Monday morning suds with plenty of bluing, the
white wake stretching back as far as the eye can reach.
Flying fish, and golphins breaking in formation through the bow
wave.
Days and days of it. Too much to eat, too much time to rest
and read, too much sunshine, too much breeze. ;
And then that never to be forgotten landfall.
It is only a smudge on the horizon at first, maybe only a cloud.
But as the hours pass it takes shape, and it is the White Cliffs of
Dover, or the port atLeHavre, in France.
And nothing has ever been more beautiful than the sight of
‘land after days at sea.
That is what you miss in a transatlantic plane trip, that first
ecstatic feeling that you are actually going to set foot on solid earth
again.
A long plane trip leaves you tired, your own personal inner clock
either too fast or too slow. You are not raring to go, as you are
when you walk down the gangplank of a ship. Your own clock
tells you it is five hours earlier, and that instead of eating lunch,
you ought to be dithering over a cup of coffee at breakfast.
But it’s something you wouldn't miss, and something you will
always remember.
