BENJAMIN BANNEKER
SCHOOL NEWS

The Banneker PTA was educa-
tionally entertained Monday eve
ming through a Panel led by Mr..
Douglas Gibson. The staff of the
school decided to close American
Education Week with a program
designed to reach all members of
the community. This was accom-
plished by a panel consisting of
two parents, two pupils, a minister,
and a teacher.
The theme was Developing
Worthwhile Citizens. With such
a heterogeneous group making up
the panel various viewpoints on
the topic were discussed. 1t was
found that along with a concept of
citizenship there must also be a
practical application of same. The
child must be able to live in an at
mOsphere which is cOngenial to
developing his potential qualities
of leadership and service to his
immediate community. This com
munity sphere includes the school
the church, and hte home. 1t is
the responsibility of the parents tc
create for the child a sense of be-
longing and a sympathetic under
standing in the home.
Following the response from the
members of the panel a very in
teresting question and answer ses-
sion was held. The parents and
teachers were able to get a better
understanding of one another in
regards to pupil advancement anC
growth.
The panel served to enlighten
and educate all in regards to the
needs Of the children. 1t made al
aware of the responsibility thai
each has in developing and beinE
worthwhile citizens.

There is growing trend in
welfare work to believe that more
effort must be concentrated by
agencies on the basic problems
of a family rather than first aid
in individual crises.
OF course, this latter is valu-
able and necessary, also, but
many of these occurrences might
have been avoided had the spot

early in the game the basic cause

Why Grow Old?
Wonnon's Great Service,
Keep Pleasant Home Life
grey color

the excitement of watching young
minds and personalities unfold,
if you realize what a tremen-
dously important job you are
doing!
Time after time case histories
show that emotional security is
one of the most important things
a child can have as he grows up.
In fact, lack of it accounts for
much juvenile delinquency. A
child must feel that he belongs,
that he is wanted and loved and
respected.
While it is most damaging to
a child to feel unloved, it is also
damaging to the health and hap
piness of adults. Every one blooms
in health and personality and
appearance when living in SYM
pathetic, gay, warm understand
ing atmosphere.
To my way of thinking this
is a woman's most important
service to life. We naturally eX-
pect a woman to be warm and
tender. to smooth daily hectiness
She cannot do this if she is ex-
hausted.
+ I suggest that you let up on
some of the less important chores
and invest more in the emotional
atmosphere of your home. This
seems to be your most important
duty and pleasure.
