EDUCATION BY TELEVISION
A NATIONAL EFFORT to pro
mote the use of video in ele
mentary and high schools is an
nounced by the National Broadcast
ing Company. It will start next
week with a program "Watch The
World." Early reactions of the kids
brought the questions, "What com
edian is on it?" and "will there be
much shooting?" Current events
will grasp the imagination of small
fry only if there is a sheriff's posse,
a cowboy, a standout horse or fast
comic in the setup. Latest de
velopments in science will be tele
cast to the schools, for example,
but how many kids will stick with
Professor Einstein unless co-starred
with Tom Mix or Gene Autry? Can
a child of today be fascinated by
the professor's routine unless his
theory of relativity is stolen by a
gang of cowboy desperadoes and
ultimately recovered after a sen
sational pursuit along the edge of
a mountain precipice?
Suppose NBC decides to show
the kiddies how Dr. Howell pro
duces rain. Will there he much
interest unless the doctor is
ordered by gangsters to leave
510,000 worth of rain in a paper
bag at the point marked "X"
by 8 p.m. or else? And why not
have the doetor cross up the
gang by leaving snow instead,
and bringing on a pursuit
through heavy traffic with tires
screeching and police sirens
howling? Pictures showing
youngsters their government at
work are promised, but won't
they walk out on Harry Truman,
Tom Dewey and Bill O'Dwyer
unless the Cisco Kid, Dick
Tracy and Lassie come in on
the scene somehow? Can you
imagine Junior listening to an
address on the state of the
union delivered by any Presi
dent who doesn't ride up to the
mike on a fiery cowpony to
cries of "Heigh ho, Harry!?"
We wish NBC luck, but think tele
vision has given the children so
many pictorial "whodunits," with
no gory details missing, that they
will accept nothing from video that
hasn't plenty of gunplay, knife
wielding and general bludgeonings.
Even now the only public school
teacher who gets anywhere is the
glamorous dish who keeps looking
from the school window as if sens
ing danger and who turns off the
lights, screams, and comes up off
the floor with a dagger in her bosom
to recapture attention of her class.
Teachers tell us that arithmetic
has hard going these days. We
know one mathematic instructor
who is figuring out a way to tie the
study with murder cases, mystery
faces at the window, slumped bodies
in phone booths and pools of blood
between the addition, subtraction
and multiplication tables.
On with "Watch The World,"
boys! But you'd better work in
some boxtop contests and sheriff
badges.

School Affairs
The 1949-50 edition of the Laurel
Leaves received the highest rating
possible at the Montana state uni
versity school of journalism. The
rating was an all-state, and was
the third such rating of the Leaves
in 20 years of history, and the first
all-state since 1945-40, when the
Leaves was under the co-editorship
of Billie Lou Braswell and Don
Graff.
This year the Leaves was an
extra-curricular activity published
by co-editors, Donna Sheets and
Lowell Anderson and adviser, Lois
Elda Larson, with a staff of 27
volunteers.
Mrs. Larson received word that
four students on the staff of
school paper won first places in
a school newspaper writing contest
sponsored by Quill and Scroll, na
tional high school journalism so
ciety and Northwestern university.
Quill and Scroll awards a "State
Winner" certificate to the piece
selected as best from each state.
This appplies to each of the six
journalism classifications:
story, feature story, editorial, in
terview, column, and sports. Laurel
students entered four of these di
visions and received the first place
for the state in each. Maxine Boyd
received first in the 1950 feature
story contest; Ellis Ward, first in
the 1950 editorial writing contest;
Bob Stickel berger, first in the
1950 column writing contest, and
Jimmy Graff, fh-st in the 1950
sports story contest.
Entries were clipped from a pub
lished school newspaper and
mounted.
Mrs. Larson sent several entries
in each of the divisions entered.
She states that one honor earned
by a Laurel journalist would have
been a "distinct reward" and the
four first are "overwhelming" but
"exceedingly gratifying."
Lowell Anderson received the
silver key award for outstanding
work in journalism for the year.
The silver key is given to each
school belonging to the N. I. E. A.,
by the Montana state university.
The winner is chosen by the stu
dent body, in cooperation with the
school paper staff, the adviser,
school principal and the local ed
itor. Each year the award will be
given to the person who has made
the greatest contribution to the
success of the paper. Eleanor
Fisher was last year's winner.

Mrs. Ed Coombs, was elected to
membership in the senior honorary

From Missoula comes word that

spirit of fair play of Babe Ruth
and his benevolent and constant
interest in the youth of America.
We want them to perpetuate the
highest quality of sportsmanship

broadened to include all activities
in the community, the state, the
nation and ultimately in our inter
national relations.
