BUSH MESSAGE WAS LOST AT GREAT DEBATE
(Column ~ 10/18/92)

(Column ~ 10/18/92)

REFORMS IN EDUCATION MUST BE FORGOTTEN
(Editorial ~ 10/18/92)
Sikeston's school district has taken aim at a 200-day school year. In Cape Girardeau, school officials offered reasonable responses on why this schedule won't come to pass here in the foreseeable future. This specific question has been asked and answered. Fine. However, at some point in the aftermath of Proposition B's defeat, we must resume thoughts of school reform.

HOUSE CLEANING AFTER MARTINS AND SPARROWS
(Column ~ 10/18/92)
I like the way Robert Frost announces in his poetic way what he is going to do that day. For example, "I'm going out to clean the pasture spring," and "I'm going out to fetch the little calf..." Somehow, long ago, Frost got me into the habit of announcing to myself, even before I get out of bed of a morning, what I'm going to do that day. Of course, in the course of a day, naturally I'm going to do many things, but the main thing that I have in mind doing is what determines the announcement...
