closed the backlog of problem
cases after praising the estab-
lishment Of a new pSychiatric
clinic stated by volunteers at
Mcfarland Junior High School
The Mcfarland clinic, opened
this month, is the second free
psychiatric service to come into
operation on a volunteer basis
in the school system. Another
has been in operation for two
years at Anacostia High School.
DR.. Corning said creation of
the two volunteer clinics demon
strates the need for such services
within the school system itself.
Not Adequately Stated.
Were not adequately stated
to handle psychological studies.
and we have no psychiatric serv-
ice in the schools whatever" the
superintendent said.
The school system gives psy-
Geological tests to youngsters
with behavior or emotional prob
lens or who are doing unusually
poorly in their work. The tests
are made at the request of
teachers.
There have been 2.162 such
requests in the active files so far

Crusade for Safety
In Traffic Planned
ByPresident's Group

The Presidents Action Com
mittee for Traffic Safety has re-
leased a preliminary report set
ting up plans for campaign
to fight the Nationwide traffic
accident plague.

ion IN the home, should have
added responsibility to develop

to a national campaign to edu-
cate the public and create sup
port for local programs.

wage earners or members of
their families"
Businessmen were urged to set
up civic safety agencies where
none exist or to join in extend
ing the program of existing or
CARNATIONS.
Finally. the report urged that
rural groups, such as the All
Clubs. the Future Farmers Of
America and others, be included
in the campaign. Land grant
colleges. the report said, should
be key agencies in promoting
highway education in the States.
1t noted that a large portion of
