A WORD TO OUR PARENTS
Much criticism has been made
in recent years of modern teach
ing methods. The school Of yester-
day was one in which the child
had to adjust to the school. Re-
gardless Of his ability, physical or
mental, no consideration was
made for him as an individual.
Our modern school is one where
the child and not the school Is
primary. The entire school pro-
gram is built around the needs of
the child. Compare the tradition
al program of pinning a child
down to a day of drills and reci-
tations on what the prescribed
textbooks, only, presented with
a modern one in which the child's
needs and interests determine the
center of work for the day. There
is no sacrifice of drills on skills
in reading, writing and arithme-
tic, but there is definite expan-
sion of information obtained from
every available source to enlarge
on the subject at hand. We feel
that the contributors to effective
learning are a healthy mind and
a healthy body both resulting
from proper health practices on
the part of parents and the love,
encouragement, feeling Of security
physical comforts such as clean
surroundings, clean bodies, good
food, proper rest and recreation
that is due your child, and is i'm
perative to effective learning
habits. Let's be as modern in our
acceptance of improved teaching
methods as we are in our accep-
tance of modern practices in med
icine or even in plain old wash
ing. 1t used to be the rub board,
but now it's the washing machine
and we like it.

What happened here, how

cally that Trumanites in the
South have taken the initiative

This was an occasion when
the Dixiecrats could have put

to retire from the field.
