Alternative Schools Begun For Lawrence Children
By TERRY SHIPMAN
Kennan Staff Writer
There is an alternative to use Lawrence Public Schools System for parents with children aged 14 and younger.
the alternative is a "system" of three schools supported by the Lawrence Association for Education East Carolina. The other system is quite different from the public schools in that it is a "structuredless" learning institution, with "no rigid curriculum" or "classroom setting."
According to a handout from the organization, The school is expected to have an understanding and the assumption that they have a strong, inner desire to work.
The schools were characterized by Mrs. Rita Lucas, coordinator of the group, as being a collection of influences ranging from the British elementary school to the full Elliott实验学校, free education. Mrs. Lucas emphasized that their system was not a copy of anything, but rather a constantly changing reaction to the people involved.
IN THE FREE school system
o opposed to the public system, if a child develops an interest in a particular subject, the student can follow that subject as long as a teacher teaches it. Teachers teach the child practical skills in connection with his field of interest. In other words, the schools are student centered, and the teachers can help the schools can take time to help each child individually because their teacher-student ratio is approximately one to four, considerably more than the ratio in public schools.
The free system is non-denominational, though at present all the schools are meeting a requirement for non-discriminatory, with scholarships available to enable children from lower-class backgrounds to take advantage of the opportunities the schools have for training. Una said. At present, she said, there are few students from minority groups in the program. She attributed this to the lack of accreditation at the schools and said that they need to be lowered to be cautious.
Bad Checks Cause Local Restriction
Cheeks written against no accounts or against insufficient funds in Douglass's problem that Lawrence businessmen found it necessary to hold "a bad cheek" to allow them and to restrict cheek cashing.
Martin Owens, assistant
Chairman of Commerce, reported
recently that large grocery and
department stores mdt to discuss
The businessmen originally own large personal checks as a set of their local customers. Because of this 'good will' services, many businesses now accept them.
A mutual agreement was met by those attending the clinic, Owens said. There will be no phone calls after 6 p.m. There will be a $2 charge for returned checks up to $20, a $5 charge for checks from $30 to $40, a $5 charge for checks from $40 to $50 and a 10
percent charge on all checks over $50.
Cases concerning insufficient funds and no accounts rose from 280 in 1969 to 280 in 1970. This included 240 misdemeans and 58 felonies. However the percentage of bad check cases as compared to all cases heard down from 31 percent to 29 percent.
Mike Ewell, Douglas County attorney, estimates spending 5 to 10 percent of his time prosecuting bad check cases. He said that only about 10 percent of these involved professional criminals.
In Douglas County, the court will dismiss a case if it is a first offense and costs are paid. With the court must prosecute, the court must prosecute.
The pennalty for a misdemeasure if the check is for less than $50 is a fine of up to $2,500 and imprisonment for up to one year or both. A case involving a cheek provides a fine of up to $,000 and imprisonment for up to five year or both.
THE FREE SCHOOL people hope to accelerate change within the public schools, since they realize that students will continue to teach the majority of Lawrence children. At a meeting Tuesday night of people connected with the free school movement in Congregational Church, a group from Career Education, a department of the Lawrence Public Schools system, gave a presentation about changes within the public system.
Many of the people at the meeting were students from the University of Kansas who had gone through or were in the School of Education. They were disillusionment with the schools they had seen in their student teaching and said they were looking for an alternative. They were encouraged by the teachers from the free schools, who told of their experience with teaching at such schools.
Over 100 children are enrolled in the system, attending either SomeDay school, Loren school, Student school, Tuition for a full-time student at any of the schools is $30, unless qualifies for a scholarship
It was stressed at the meeting, that volunteers were needed as instructors or assistants.
Plans are being made for a
and school along the same lines,
but without any other information.

Northern Ireland Plans Crackdown
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP)—Northern Ireland's hard-pressed government said Tuesday it would stamp out a bill violating its civil disobedience with massive new police and legal moves.
"There is no question of the containment of terror in the British Parliament, said the eve of a debate in the British Parliament on the Ulster crisis.

We don't know where you stand in the political spectrum, but we have had a thought or two about the way the wry nature of this reaction reached. As in physics, the wildest positions are reactions to other wild reactions. Our idea is simply that all the effort in reacting might protect us from old-fashioned action. Let us know what you think, won't you?
