EDITORIAL THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION IN OXFORD The best educatronal program for any town would be one provrdrng the greatest benefits for the greatest number of people It would contnbute toward tralned and more productrve crtrzenry for the communrty and for the natlon At the present tlme there are asrde from general sublects two courses of study offered rn Oxford Hrgh School the College Preparatory and Commerclal Courses and a student who wlshes to study other Sp9ClallZ6d subjects has to go to schools outslde Oxford There are two pomts that should be thoroughly un derstood IH the consrderatron of thrs srtuatlon Frrst IS the fact that some parents though legally pernutted to send therr chrldren to other schools 1f they w1sh them to take specrahzed courses such as Domestxc Scrence are not able to do so because of lack of transportatron and because of expense Thrs does not seem to be really democratrc equahty of opportunlty The second pomt IS that those parents who are able to send thelr chrldren elsewhere take away students from the home school thus takmg tu1t1on money out of Oxford Thls money gomg to other schools were It to be used 1n Oxford could pay for another rnstructor to teach other courses such as Industrral Arts or Domestrc Sclence Further there are famrlres rn surroundrnv towns whlch do not have hrgh schools who now send therr chrldren to other towns It would be much more loglcal to send them to Oxford rf there were more courses offered here Thus rf we could keep Oxford puprls IH Oxford and recelve tu1t1on from other towns rt would lncrease the money avallable for educatlon here We could then pay the costs of addrtlonal courses Of course rf we should do thus we should have a larger student enrollment and we should need more burldmv space and facrhtles To that end we would propose a burldmg program whlch would provlde 1 burldmg for hlgh school onlv However SIHCC room facllxtres are llready becomlng madequate and rt w1ll be necessarv to burld 1n the near future any wav we suggest that th1s broader pro gram be mcorporated 1n any burldmg program that IS undertaken In short we beheve that a program should be consldered that would provrde an educatron whrch IS more truly surted to the needs of all the puprls rather than a part of them To a large extent we beheve that th1s program would pay for rtself but over and above that the addltronal cost would be a step forward rn provldlng opportunltres for Oxford s young people that are enyoyed by tho e of other commumtles It would be glvlng all the young people of Oxford as near IS possible equal OppOl'tlIIllI'l0b to choose courses suited to thelr needs and dbllltles M rrylyn Bartlett 53 Igdztor m Chzef . . . 7 Q Q Q ' Q , Q . .. - .- Q- Q , . .
