Jefferson Bee Editorials We're glad it's over Regardless of the outcome of today's election, millions of Americans will heave a sigh of relief when the returns are all in and the noise of political battle has subsided. It has been a bitter campaign fought more on a basis than normally and for that reason has been distasteful to most voters. At the national level there has been cloying sweetness and paternalism from Mr. Johnson and personal vituperation and wishful thinking from Mr. Goldwater.

It doesn't add up to much as far as the voter is concerned. At the state level, as far as The Bee is concerned, both parties have failed the State of Iowa. Neither has had the fortitude to face up to the need for a greater share of local tax revenue to be raised by taxes other than property. Both have played 'Tootsy" with the problem, just as both have done since Dr. Bill Murray of Ames, with his pro- posal for an increase in the sales tax, was defeated by Governor Loveless.

We don't share the expressed opinions by those on both sides of the political fence who warn of the collapse of America if the "opposition" wins. We doubt that they believe it either. America has ofter weathered mediocrity in the past--and can do so again. If the leadership seems not as effective as that offered by the "outs" four years from now, the voters will make the necessary changes to put the nation back on course. They have done so before and will do so again.

Now might be a good time to suggest that the period of time devoted to the general election campaign is too long. If presidential conventions were held in August instead of July, there would still be plenty of time for the full "exposure" of the candidates by November now that the electronic media are available and candidates are traveling by jet instead of train. The French school A young friend of ours who is spending a year in southern France as an AFS exchange student writes of the French high school system. The contrast with the American is marked in several respects. It is obvious that there is not the "compulsion" in France that there is in the U.S.

about school. As a result, students in school are those who WANT to be there and who are serious about getting an education. Almost the entire grade for the year comes from the final exam, or "baccalaureate" so- called. The student through the year is almost entirely on his own. Also noticeably different is the complete lack of school activities in the French system.

The school is given no responsibility for the social or moral development of the stu- The Jefferson Bee FRED E.

It is first and solely concerned with intellectual matters. This is quite different from what we expect our local schools to do. While we Couldn't want to trade systems, there are things we can learn from the French.

't is obvious that their teachers are not expected to be policemen nor baby-sitters. Frequently our teachers must feel they are in social welfare work as much as in education, particularly when they have to deal with problem parents in addition to problem children. Our own schools have made fine progress in recent years in providing an enriched curriculum. A comparison of subject matter offered today with that of a generation ago is startling. But even more needs to be done and it will be done only when the public demands it.

This will be marked by greater emphasis on scholarship, on teaching proficiency and on up-to-date school plants. Youngsters may be careless and lazy at times but they're not dumb. They know what their parents and their community expect from them and they're able to discern the value that the community puts on education. If football and music contests and the class play arc more important than class work, then that's where the time will be spent. If the community says a modern high school building isn't worth what it will cost, youngsters can scarcely fail to be influenced in the value they themselves place on the school too.

Savings bond winners Winners of grand prizes of $18.75 savings bonds at the Jaycee Halloween parade and party Saturday night were Lori Dunivan, daughter of Mr and Mrs Bill Dunivan of Jefferson and Danny Day, son of Mr and Mrs Don Day. Lori costumed herself as a "modern witch." Danny was dressed as "Davy Crockett." Some 225 youngsters took part in the parade and party. Church News St Joseph's Catholic Church 501 North Chestnut Fr.
