Wareham school authorities said the postponement of tho game was due to continued wet grounds. According to Wareham spokesman it has been raining in Wareham all of Monday morning and it was said the playing Held was not in fit condition for a game. The game will be played on Saturday. November 22. WAREHAM POSTPONES FOOTBALL GAME with Bruce Besse What with the Barnstable - Wareham encounter being washed out twice and moved to November 22, there is little football activity to report. Instead of the usual anal ysis of performances by the Red Raider football team , this week an analysis of the institution they represent is offered instead. One of the difficulties severely hampering recent athletic teams at Barnstable has been the migration of its better athletes to pri- vate schools, and so this column is presented in defense of our hi gh school both athletically and academically against the ad- vantages most often attributed to the prep school. To begin with, the town is now blessed with a beautiful , modern educational plant for its children. Immaculate, well-lit . spacious, and properly equipped classrooms that surpass even the most plush of preparatory schools are now pro- vided for the student. While the ivy-covered, dark wood panelled. dimly lit surroundings of ancient private institutions may have more romantic appeal to some, the bright up to date decor of Barnstable High is far more conducive to efficient education. Great strides have been made in the trade courses offered in the local high school, but these are in- consequential to this comparison. Here we are interested in those students preparing to enter college, and the ability of Barnstable High to properly equip them success- fully in this period of extremely- high competition for the limited space available in the nation 's halls of higher learning. The quality of teaching at Barn- stable has been definitely on the improve. New teachers coming in- to the field are the product of col- leges who in recent years have tightened their standards appre- ciably. New instructors come fully equipped with the latest classroom technique. The master's degree ia now the rule rather than the ex- ception. Teachers are paid more, but they have to know more. More strict standards must be met to enter the teaching profession . In- centive programs better the teach- ers' lot financially, but the teach- ers must exert themselves by tak- ing advanced courses to qualify tor pay raises. Any addition to an instructor 's fund of knowledge is, of course, passed on to the student. The town school system is very fortunate to have a Superintendent who selects only the most quali- fied personnel, and a hard-working Principal who rightfully demands perfection from his staff. The re- sult is that Barnstable High has teachers that ARE able to proper- ly prepare students for college— the problem is getting the students to take advantage of their knowl- edge, and to convince the parents that it is the students and not the teac hers who arc responsibl e for failure. In a private school nearly all the student body intends to enter college, whereas in our high school only a small percentage even
