I hope too. that the statement made with respect to the consequence of the hearings held so far by the Subcommittee on Migratory Labor. by DI. Donald Thomas of the University of Wisconsin. will also hold true for these billsthat they will serve a remedial function rather than just a therapeutic one. It is. perhaps. hard to grasp the actual human impact on the individual migrant child who is deprived of an adequate educational opportunity. or. conversely. who is treated to an educational experience not expected or hoped for. As Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell said just a year ago: Look beyond the screen of statistics at the child behind in school. in poor health. housed in a coop. whose father works for 131 days a year for 50cents per hour. That child hasnt much of a chance to develop his talents. to be useful to himself or his country. This is the ugliest kind of human waste. I am sure the Members of this body will be interested in a look behind the screen of statistics at the benefits achieved from the good educational system&for migrant children that have been started in a few areas across the country. Recently I received a letter from the superintendent -of schools. Mr. Brautigain. in Dowagiac. Mich.. reporting on the experimental school established there for the migrant children. which included the impressions of a teacher who had participated in the program. Here was a teacher who had come face to face with the problem of educating migrant children and who discovered that there wasnt a "nicer group of children to work with. For the most. they were smart children. eager to learn. appreciative. and loved books. Somewhere they have either learned good work habits in school or just that eager to learn." That the children did indeed appreciate their educational opportunity can be seen in a heartwarming letter written to the teacher by a migrant child. .Mary Ann Castilleja. "You are still the goodest teacher Ive had and you all ways will be." she writes. In reading over the hearings held in the Midwest last fall. I came across another report. written by Mrs. George Cnudde. chairman of the Bay County Farm Bureau Citizenship Committee in Michigan. which describesthe operation of a 5 weeks demonstration summer school there. Mrs. Cnudde was much impressed by how anxious migrant children are to learn. and how very anxious their parents are to have them attend school to get an education that most of them did not have. Mr. President.
