The Life Science Department gives the student the opportunity to learn more about the plants, animals and fellow human beings which inhabit this world with him. Botanical studies assist in identifying the flora of this and other areas, but gives the student little chance to enjoy the rainbow within a dewdrop on one of the leaves he studies. Biology, zoology, and physiology give one a better understanding of the similarities and differences in animal life; while the Family Science helps each one how to get along with his fellow man, and how better to take care of himself on his own. If social attitudes determine educational emphasis, then our society is deranged. The glory placed on liberal education, graduate degrees and learned people is warping society with intellectuals who lack common sense. For this reason the status of vocational and technical education must be ameliorated to keep pace with society's demands. The strict emphasis on advanced liberal education degrees must be re-examined; society must realize good plumbers and mechanics are as valuable as psychologists or mathematicians. Michael D. Richards Once upon a time, the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of "a new world." So they organized a school. They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming, and flying. To make it easier to administer the curriculum, all the animals took all the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming, in fact better than his instructor; but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. Since he was slow in running, he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running. This was kept up until his web feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming. But average was acceptable in school, so nobody worried about that except the duck. At the end of the year, an abnormal eel that could swim exceedingly well, and also run, climb, and fly a little, had the highest average and was valedictorian. The prairie dogs stayed out of school and fought the tax levy because the administration would not add digging and burrowing to the curriculum. They apprenticed their child to a badger and lated joined the groundhogs and gophers to start a successful private school. Does this fable have a moral? G. H. Reavis Educational Counselor
