Friday the group toured salt mines in Hutchinson and Lyons to determine the feasibility of adopting methods now being tested in the defunct Lyons branch.

Four officials of the Oak Ridge Laboratory took the tour with the Germans. An Oak Ridge spokesman said the Germans are studying American methods in Kansas because vast areas of German soil are filled with saline deposits as they are in this state.

Elm, at 1:15 am Friday. Art For Educators Admiring display of children's art is Janice Swanson, second grade teacher at Hawthorne school, who attended education meeting Saturday. (Journal Photo) 250 Teachers Attend Kansas Education Meeting Here The accepted practice of "teaching strictly by the textbook" on the elementary level was refuted by one of the featured speakers at the annual meeting of the Kansas Association of Childhood Education here Saturday.

Leveling the criticism was Dr. Bill Martin, head of the elementary English department for Holt, Rinehart and Winston publishers. Martin employed shock value in asking the assembled teachers how they would react if a young student used "an SOB expression" in their class, and questioned criticism of use of the word "ain't." Martin's talk highlighted the afternoon session in the Salina high school auditorium. It followed a business meeting and general, assembly in the morning at Grace E. Stewart school and a noon luncheon at the high school cafeteria.

About 250 Attend Attendance totaled approximately 250. New officers elected for 2-year terms were Rachel Grantham, Lawrence, vice president, and Charlotte Heide, Wichita, treasurer. Still with one year remaining on their terms of office are Ada Mae Tull, Topeka, president, and Ruth Ward, Salina, secretary. In charge was Althea Tucker, teacher at Phillips school Suptl W. M.

Ostenberg gave the welcome. In between meetings, the visitors browsed through elementary student art and handicraft dsplays. Exceeding the attendance for the state meeting was the turnout by local kindergarten students, who were invited to a free story hour Saturday morning at Lowell school. Over 500 heard Dr. Martin preside.

"Out of Tune" In regard to the question on the SOB expression, Martin told the ACE representatives their degree of shock at the phrase served to illustrate how far out of they were with the language of today. "We hafe not matured to the point where we really accept the language the children bring into our schooli," he said. "We allow deviation. Yet the street corner language fa Tery vital, dynamic and adequate. "Teachers believe we must change incorrect speech patterns as soon as we get them into school.

Before we can teach language, we must kr.ow the starting point of our children. Development is neces- sary, but we also need to listen to language patterns as well as teach them." Martin also scored objections of teachers to the word "ain't" as used by children, pointing out that Robert Frost used the word as an adult. "I am not opposed to he continued. "But there are many approaches other than workbooks. I can't help every child in my class.

But I can teach him that reading is a great adventure." Glued To Texts Martin said he believes much of children's dislike for poetry la caused by the way basic reading is taught In the classroom. Teachers become glued to textbooks. They are "not geared to listen to what the children say only to what they want them to say." Other exceptions taken by Martin to current education practices were (1) the tendency to push curriculum down to' lower and lower levels; (2) controversies over Eematics (2 plus 2 is, or are, 4); (3) making children outcasts because they become bored with textbooks; and (4) the use of grades in measuring claswork. The speaker at the morning session Dr. Richard Berg, director of music td- ucation for the Kansas City.

public schools. He spoke on "Quest for Self through Music." Berg said he wants to set music serve in all possible ways for boys and girls, giving them a chance to express themselves in music through school and all their lives. "It is important that children learn to read music, so they can learn to read vocal or instrumental music. In that way, they can become familiar with more music than simply by the rote method." Berg urged that children be exposed to some of the greatest musical works, to contemporary as well as traditional music. "Children have to have time set aside for music during tha school day, not only for tha music iteelf, but just for their emotional release," he concluded.

Wheat Program Attracts More The 1965 wheat program found slightly more popularity among Saline county farmers than its predecessors. At the signup deadline (5 pm Friday), 1310 of the county's 1516 wheat farming units were on the dotted line. The signup represented 86 percent of the county's farms and involves 94 percent of the county's wheat allotment. The 1964 program attracted 1282 farming units or about 90 Percent of the allotment. Agree To Divert Cooperating farmers agree to divert about 11.u percent of al- loted acres from wheat production and maintain the farm's normal conserving acres.

No diversion payment is made on the minimum diversion but farmers can if they choose, divert above the minimum to earn a diversion payment. Few county farmers will divert more than the minimum. The county ASC office said only about 175 acres are involved in diversions above the minimum. Cooperating farmers will earn domestic and export certificates on 90 percent of the farm's normal production. A feature of the 1965 program is an option through which portions of feed grain allotment! can be planted to wheat.

Under the plan, cooperators agree to divert 20 percent of the feed grain (corn, barley or milo) acres. Any or all of the remaining 80 percent can be planted to wheat. Many county farmers are expected to take advantage of the option and the county's total wheat acres conld be 10 to 20 percent above the The exact nature of the feed grain program hasn't been announced. But the requirement of a 20 percent diversion is known. Swedish Chorus Starting Tour The National Swedish Chorus, which appears in Salina Oct.
