EDUCATIONAL week
NOVEMBER 8.I4

The 33rd annual observance
of American Education Week,
November 8-14, will again di-
rect local attention to the work
of the schools, according to an
announcement by Miss Mar
guerite G. Sullivan, Principal
of Hyde School.
The central theme of the
1858 program is aimed toward
the individual citizen: GOOD
SCHOOLS ARE YOUR RE-
SPONSIBILITY TO MAKE A
BETTER BOSTON.
American Education Week is
a time to review the purpose
and accomplishments of the
schools, to consider their needs
and problems, to sharpen pub
lie interest in school improve
ment, and to strengthen the
bonds of home, school and COM
munity cooperation. An effec-
tive COMMUNICATIVE obSer-
vance of American Education
Week is a good foundation for
a yearround program of school
public relations.
Every effort will be made to
bring the people to the schools
and to take the schools to the
people. Newspapers, radio and
television will explain the
school problem. Legion Posts,
Home and school organizations
service clubs, and others lay
groups plan special programs.
Posters and neighborhood store
displays of local school activi-
ties will tell the work of our
schools.
Every community should
make this occasion a time for
to education,
which is the bulwark of our
democracy.

By Muriel Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
childhood was very unhappy,
lonesome and insecure. Whether
because of this or not, have diff
ficulty adjusting to adult life and
responsibility. I realize my in
capacities and have tried con-
stantly to train myself to do the
everyday duties of a wife and
mother. These things come nAtu-
rally to most women. My house.
however, is a constant mess and
sometimes the problem for me Is
almost insurmountable. My hus-
band is wonderful, and under
standing; because Of his attitude
/ am more than ever concerned.
Lately, I've been so nervous that
I am constantly breaking dishes
and anything else I pick up. Do
you think I'm on the verge OF q
nervous breakdown? Also, ] am
very sensitive about other peoples
attitude toward me. S.H.
ANSWER: Medical diagnoses
are not in my line, so can't
even hazard a guess as to the
possibility of a breakdown. but
it certainly is obvious that you
need doctors care. Analyzing
yourself will do no good what
ever; you can admit your made
uuacies, realize that you're
nervous, conf1de in your hus-
band, but without professional
help you'll accomplish nothing.
| When you are worked up about
your own physical and mental
condition. naturally you can't
devote the time or attention to
your household that the job
requires. You must get straight
within yourself before anything
outside will be orderly.
It might console you to know
that by no means do all women
take naturally to household
tasks. Most housewives have
difficulty with at least one or
two of their manifold jobs.
Tidiness comes automatically to
few people, and to no one does
it come without some effort. It
takes work, concentration, and
a good rating of what jobs come
first to give household work
efficiency. Perhaps you have
too many things" around the
home; dispose of all non essen
tials such as bric-a-brac, cur
tains, drapes or spreads that
require too much care, super
fluouS kitchen equipment, and
see if that doesn't cut down your
work.
