WELFARE OFFICE TO OFFER
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
By. BINA ROBERTS
Acting Superintendent

Hyde County Dept. Of Welfare
Wednesday of last week one of
our ambitions for the Welfare
Department was realized when we
had the service of a psychologist
at our disposal right here in our
own county office. Heretofore
when a psychological examination
was necessary we have had to go
to Duke or to clinic in one of
the larger counties.
Sometime ago the superinten-
dent began working on the posi-
bility of having our own clinic.
Considerable "paper work" as
well as actual labor was perform
ed by her and the staff before DR..
McAndrew, the State Psychologist,
actually arrived. When we saw
her we Immediately decided it
would be best not to publish her
picture lest we be swamped by
males wishing to be psychoan-
alyzed. She is young, and good to
look at. But the best part of it is
the way she deals with a disturbed
child and its parents toward help
ing them to understand and solve
their problems.
While DR.. McAndrew was in
the County we took the opportun-
ity to talk with her about another
of our dreams-the possibility Of
having her work with this de-
partment, the parents and the
schools in behalf of children who
in the opinion of their parents,
/ the teachers or the case worker
could profit by such help. We are
happy to say she looked with IA
vor on the proposal. We have
talked the possibility over with
Mr.. Shelton who thought it would
be a good thing. We are now
hoping to be able to arrange for
| at least ,one such school project
for this school year. Then if the
teachers, parents and everyone
concerned wish it we may be able
to arrange regular clinics for next
year. Thus the children Of Hyde
County could be given an advan-
tage which up to now has been
available to only a privileged

AN EXPERIMENT IN
TEACHER EDUCATION

The Swan Quarter School and
East Carolina College are conduct
ing a joint experiment in teacher
education, according to N. w. Shell
ton, Superintendent of Hyde Coun-
ty Schools.
During the past week three stu
dent teachers from the Greenville
College have been observing and
assisting in the Swan Quarter
School. Miss jeanette Tillett of
Mays Head and Miss Marjorie
Smith of Kinston worked with Miss
Lola Watson in the first and Sec
ond grades. Mrs. Delton Perry of
Bethel worked with Mrs. Nellie
Mckinney.
The East Carolina seniors were
finding out something about teach
ing and the every day problems
away from a campus training
school. Local teachers found this
an opportunity to work with col
lege faculty and student teachers
to gain new and fresh ideas in
teaching.
The details of this program have
been worked out by DR.. Keith D.
Holmes of East Carolina College
and Miss Bette Swindell, Super
visor of Instruction in Hyde Coun-
ty. The general policy and plans
have resulted from conferences in
volving other East Carolina in
structors and officials, members of
the staff Of the College Training
School, Swan Quarter teachers, T..
A. Hood, principal; N. w. Shelton,
Hyde superintendent, and Miss
Swindell.
The student teachers week be-
gan on Saturday when they came
to Swan Quarter with College and
Training School teachers and Off
Gals for conferences with local
teachers and officials. The student
teachers remained over the, week.
end to get acquainted with the
community. Each afternoon the
regular teachers and the student
teachers held conferences on what
had been done during the day and
what was to be done the following
day. One or more of the College
faculty visited the school during
the week. At the end of the week
College and Training School off
Gals returned for an evaluation
conference.
This is the second group of stu
dent teachers to visit Swan Quar-
ter this year. In November Miss
Rachel Davis and Miss Maxine
Robinson worked with Miss Iona
Bonner and Mrs. Marietta McKin-
ney in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and
seventh grades.
DIR. Holmes, and several others
from the College and the College
Training School, visited the school
to observe its operation and the
work of the teachers before stu
dent teachers were sent out. These
visits also included conferences
with the teachers. T. A. Hood,
principal; Miss Bette Swindell,
supervisor; and N. w. Shelton,
superintendent, have been in con-
ferences in GreenviIle. Another
conference is scheduled for this
week to work on further plans and
refinement of this new approach
to teacher education.
In this program the College is
able to keep posted on teaching and
problems in the public schools,
student teachers gain off campus
experience in practical situations,
and the local teachers and the
school benefit from the resources
of the college in further growth.
The Swan Quarter School is the
only one in Hyde County whose
elementary grades have been given
q recognized rating by the State
Board Of Education.

terprises and enables underworld
characters to buy up legitimate
business and to claim respectable
fty by contributions to worthy
causes. The large financial re-
sources at the disposal Of criminal
gangs and syndicates make such
gangs and syndicates a serious
menace"
The Internal Revenue Bureau
should take effective action to stop
the continual violation by racket

taxpayers to keep adequate rec

Gambling casinos also outrageous
ly flout internal revenue require
ments by their so-called ''bookkeep-
ing" methods. They should be re-
quired to maintain daily records Of
moneys won and lost and to file
these records with the Bureau.
We felt that the biggest farce
and effrontery, in so far as the ap.
plications Of internal revenue reg
ulations to illegal gamblers 10 con-
cerned, is the fact that the present
law permits gamblers to deduct
wagering losses and overhead cost
as business expense" Such de-
duction often include the hidden
brides paid to law-enforcement Off
Gals. The Committee recommend
ed an amendment that would pro-
hibit any sort Of tax deduction by
Illegal enterprises.
Another recommendation was
passage Of Q bill completely out
having the state-to-state sending
Of gambling by telegraph, telephone
or other communication facilities,
by an outfit devoted to a substan-
tial extent to providing informa-
ton used in Illegal gambling" The
bill is aimed at the so-called Con.
tinental Press Service, which keeps
alive a multi-million-dollar industry
for the underworld throughout the
country.
The present law against inter-
state transportation Of slot ma.
chimes, we decided, should be ex-
tended to include the other gam.
bling devices on which individual
racketeers and organized crime
Syndicates thrive - punchboards,
roulette wheels and so forth. We
noted that ''the lowly punchboard
has attained the proportion Of
major racketeering enterprise"
We asked that penalties be In
creased against the Illegal distribu.
ton and smuggling Of narcotics,
that immigration laws be amended
to facilitate deportation Of unde.
sirable aliens, including criminals,
and to provide punishment for
smuggling, concesling or harboring
illegal aliens.
A bill which the Committee rec.
commended is designed to prevent
racketeering elements from enter
ing the wholesale liquor industry
and to eliminate such elements now
entrenched in it. The bill would
require liquor distributors to Sc
cure yearly renewals of their fed.
eral licenses.
On the community level, we en-
couraged the creation of more state
and local crime commissions
which, where they are set up, have
achieved effective results-more
