KMCTT 203 IOCAN AVENUI klviouc uiNoa THl II OtHOtH II Services For Claude S. Guyer Held P.M. At Free Methodist Church Friends May Call After 1 P.M. Tuesday Evening New Including Large Inch Check Square Dear Sirs: Since I graduated from Belvidere High School in June of this year and am now attending the Univer sity of Illinois, I have been quite interested in the District 100 referendum. Following closely your ar ticles concerning this defeat, and the Readers Opinion, I was4 amazed to find that people want to live in the past with little regard for progress.

A letter in the Sept. 20 edition of the Belvidere Daily Republican written by "A Thankful Taxpayer" bothers me; in that I cannot force myself to accept as true several of the statements made by this per son. The thankful taxpayer who calls himself one of the eld. folks, speaks of "a lot of wasteful nonsense that could be left out as school subjects." Just what does he classify as wasteful nonsense? Has he ever attended a class or course that he considers as such in our present school system? Perhaps, he should sit in on such a class before condemning it. This thankful taxpayer also states "The three R's were good enough for my generation, why isn't it good enough today." I agree that the three R's were, no doubt, good enough fifty years ago, but this is in much the same way that the cave served the cave man thousands of years ago.

Do we live in caves because they served the generations before us good enough? Of course not! Our schools must move forward with progress as everything else has. Are we just going to sit still and watch the world and Its pro gress pass by us? If our future generations are going to succeed and make progress, our school system must not stand still or move backward. Reports show that at this time Russia is turning out more scientists per year than we are gradu ating here in the United States, hence we need to get on the ball with our schools. Studies have shown that the food we eat, the clothing we wear, and literally everything we use is of higher quality than ever before, True, things cost more today, but pay checks are better and men work fewer hours than ever. Therefore our schools have to move for ward if they are to keep up with the changing times.

Furthermore, we receive exactly what we pay for, and nothing more. We pay less for our schools than most other Illinois towns, and we- in return, receive less which I realize more every day as I meet new students from other Illinois towns here at the univer sity: Now is the time to be looking toward the future, before it is too late. Let us awaken to reality and face the facts of the ever changing and progressing times. Hooray for those who have enough common sense to realize that times are changing and the schools must do likewise! If some of the people had their way, we might still have one room school houses since these were good enough for them. Let have a school system for which Belvidere can be proud.

We have a fine town. lets keep it that way, and make it even better yet. I sincerely appreciate the oppor tunity of expressing my views here, and since I am not ashamed of my letter, I will sign my name.

At that time we were to build our two hospitals I offered to drive for four months and donate my pay, the sum Of $600, to the two hospitals. I was told by the same man that I didn't have to give anything I didn't want to. I knew that before I offered. But I didn't drive. I said thank you.
