The Democratic vice presidential

He repeatedly urged his listeners
to remember the depression OF the

publicans controlled the Govern
ment in the early years of that
period.
The Alabama Senator, the first
national campaigner to invade
upstate New York this year, at
tackled G. o. P. Senator Mccarthy

torcade was to roll into Auburn.

There are such chapter headings
as The Art of Happiness, The Art

different containers best suited for
freezing and canning. Her topic
was Food Preservation"
For freezing, containers that can
be reused, such as the pliOfilmI
bags, plastic boxes with lids and
the heavy waxed boxes are more
economical. The size and shape
should be considered when placing
in the freezer.
When using glass jars with the
new type lids, you should buy the
kind that you can replace with lids
and not have to buy the jars again.

At the same time, Easter sales in

Math Needed In
Schools, Prof. Says

The mathematical needs of Del
aware high school students are not
being met in the schools, according
to Russell d. F. Dineen, a member
of the Bancroft School faculty, and
president of the Wilmington Teach
ers' Association.
Mr.. Dtneen, in an article in the
current Delaware State Education
Journal, calls for a supervisor or
chairman for a much needed de-
partment of mathematics" in the
State Department of Public In
Istruction.
The mathematics teacher writes
that he reached this conclusion
last summer while attending the
summer session at the University
OF Delaware. 1T is certainly quite
shameful to see a college graduate
unable to do the simplest of arith-
metic problems" Mr.. Dineen said.
He claims, as a result of his
summer school work, that the
mathematical needs of the high
school students are not being fur
nished. He says that, in most in
stances, this failure is due to one
or more of the following causes:
Il. The failure to recognize the
importance of mathematics in
structiOn other than that needed to
satisfy college entrance requir-
ments.
y. With inadequately trained
personnel, operating with poor
teaching facilities. it is almost i'm
possible to create the kind of new
approach that is needed to meet
the needs of all sections of our
present-day high school popula-
tion.
3. The major fraction of teach
ers prefer to teach the traditional
courses in mathematics, as in other
subjects, because of their lack of
practical and meaningful life ex-
periences.
a. Administrative difficulties
such as excessive teacher loads and
the failure to adopt flexible
scheduling of classes"
"5, There is still a significant
segment of the professional per.
sOnnel and influential lay leaders
which does not accept secondary
education for all the children o.
all the people but prefers to think
. of our high schools as public pre-,
paratory schools"
"6. The fact that many of Oul
elementary teachers are so pOOrl!
trained in mathematics that they
cannot possibly prepare students
for a sound and successful higl
, school education"

Article Outlines
Plan Used In
Teaching Here

An article, Catch En- Before
They Vote, appearing in the May
issue of the WOman's Home Com
panion, out today. describes the
history and workings of the Citi-
zenship Education Project, Teach
ers College, Columbia University, a
project in which the Milford High
School is pioneering, Supt. of
Schools, DR.. CObbs said, today.
Our school system is among 400
in the nation which is aiding in
developing methods for teaching
citizenship so that students may
come to appreciate their personal
stake in our American freedom,
Supt. Cobbs explained.
In his article, Murray Teigh
Bloom, the author, explains how
students learn how they can func-
ton as citizens and how important
the views of just one citizen can be
under our system by dealing with
real citizenship situations.
For instance. in one Eastern city,
students put on a get-Out-the-vOte
campaign in a municipal election
which substantially increased the
number of persons voting. In doing
this, they organized a rally at
which 21 of 90 candidates for Office
spoke to some 1000 students and
adults. In addition, they served as
baby sitters, worked as volunteers
in the offices Of candidates, helped
prepare publicity and aided in a
number of other ways. This is Just
one of a number of examples cited
where students participated in
community affairs to learn citizen
ship "know-hOw" through actual
experience.
"The 400 schools now working
with CEP will serve as a nucleus
for improving citizenship education
throughout the country" Supt
Cobbs added. I'VE feel strongly
that because of the treats facing
our American freedom, it is more
than ever essential that our stu
dents learn what it means to bC
free, the things they must do tC
remain free and how to do them.

their wedding plans along.
Hayes, Lynne, Dawn and l ar
rived at the Pasadena Community
Church in St. Pete at 4:45, Satur-
day afternoon, the 5th of this
month. This wedding was unusual
in the fact that it took place in the
church yard. And l could we'll un-
derstand why Frances had decided
en- a garden wedding when / saw
the lovely one that this Florida
church had provided. The wedding
guests were all assembled in a
/ squared off portion of the YARD
which was surrounded by shrub
berry, lovely budding gardenia
bushes, and blOssoming flowers oil
many varieties. In the center of the
garden there was a fountain, cen.

was the imprOvised alter.
