ferences between parents and
teachers should be held. he said,

lay. representing Catholic grade
and high schools in the WASH

IAN interested, sympathetic.
happy teacher is one of the best
assurances against juvenile de-
linquency."

Don't nag your students. Don't
henpeck them. Because a hen
pecked student feels just as had
as a henpecked husband
Another speaker, The Rev
Ramon A. diNardo, assistant di-
rector of education for the Arch
diocese of Washington, said for
tunately juvenile delinquency
here is not as great a problem
as elsewhere. He warned how
ever, that now is the time to be
concerned and take preventive
measures.

afternoons session which closed
