"Our
Growing Edge"
MRS. MARTHA GLOTFELTY

Our Schools Vast ASSETS
1t would be unfair, and down
right untrue, if all Of us failed to
recognize the many fine things
ow. schools are doing. So, in eyal-
uating them, we look again at their
accomplishments.
First Of all, there are the physi-
cal assets, which comprise build
ings, equipment, etc. Never before
have we had, on the whole, such
efficient, attractive buildings as we
have today. Some elementary
schools need repair.
Our two new high schools are
examples of beauty, convenience
and good taste. They are real as
sets to our communities Many
were not sure, when they were
contemplated, that because Of dis
tances they would serve our needs.
Yet | believe they have wolke4
out well in that respect. l believe
that is the opinion Of most of our
parents.
Never before have teachers hal
so many and varied aides for teach
ing. Visual aides, well-stocked IL
braries, shop equipment, the best
possible equipment for the teach
ing Of home economies, arts and
crafts, commercial subjects, and
equipment for sports and physical
education. Taken all together, they
should make the teaching profess
sion one Of the most interesting
ones in todays world.
l believe that, on the whole, our
teachers are better trained than
ever before. There are at the
present time only 1871 percentage
of emergency teaching certificates
held here in this county, compared
with 35.6 in Anne Arundel. Seven
counties have a lower percentage
than Garrett.
We should not fail to mention
the fact that our boys and girls
have a larger and more compre-
hensive curriculum than ever be-
fore. They have the opportunity to
select courses Of study that We're
not possible a few years ago.
As for school program that
includes music, and the arts, we
heartily approve, and 90 along
with them. Organized ana competi-
tive sports are a necessary and I'M
portant part Of a total education,
and we believe they teach our
youngsters many valuable lessons.
There is the fact that many Of
our students leaving Garrett
County for schools Of higher edu-
cation are making marked success
es Of their WORT; Many are on deans
lists, and many have been outstand-
ing in various fields of cndeayor.
There have been years when Gar
rett County has taken most Of
the prizes in Statewide Judging,
and other competitive activities Of
our Vocational Agriculture pro
gram.
To lose sight of these accom-
plishments is both unfair and I'M
just to our loyal, Woodworking
teachers and administrators.
( l would like to say n this re-

ard, that in my limited Parent
Teacher work, l nave had 1000
cooperation by both teachers and
administrators.
have heard discussed at teach
ers' meetings the need for building
solid foundation Of basic learn
ing from first grade to twelfth
That, in my opinion, is the basis
for the hopes of most OF our par
ents. To see our boys and girls ac-
quire, to the best Of their ability,
excellence in reading, spelling,
writing. learning how to study, now
to think, how to speak we'll and
effectively. We should be satisfied
with no less.
l could be completely wrong, but
it seems to me that we sometimes
try too hard to sugal-eo our
teaching of children. We are 50
completely sold on the idea that
they should have no drills, no un-
interesting porting over problems.
Yet it sometimes distulbs me TO
think how inadequate that can
make them to face real problems,
that are sometimes genuinely
tough.
All progress, all Development
comes from challenge and a con-
sequent response to it. Taal is why
| believe, it is most unrealistic to
eliminate competition from so
many Of our learning processes.
A prominent educator has said
by exposing our children to the
best values we have found, to the
values that history has proved
tluest perhaps we shall be a6le to
produce that ringing message,
full of content and truth, satisfying
the mind, appealing to the heart,
firing the will, a message on which
one can stake his whole ,ife.'
We have the assets to do Just
that.

like this, but it's only natural for
farmers to want to raise as big
crop as they can, it's not only
good for their ego, it's good for
their pocketbook as we'll.
From what we read, this prac-

This fertilizer is put into the
soil by means of a certain imple-

ming from tank on the back of
tractor down the side of special
ly designed blades to a depth of
four to six inches beneath the soil.
The ammonia is in liquid form in
the tank, but when it's released
it turns into a gas, which unites
chemically with soil particles,
thus it's ready to go to work right
away to make things grow.
a lot of crops do take tons of
nitrogen from the soil, and farm
ers have been putting it back by
applying solid forms of ammonia,
or by blowing under leguminous
crops such as alfalfa. Now they
claim that by using anhydrous

pay crop every year without de-
pleting the soil.

However, according to an expert
on the subject, that is entirely

that geraniums give you the most

on neglect. I'll bet if | planted

He says to plant them in a

them for a week at time.

time to take cuttings from these

Representative Robert F.

short biographical talk and
then turned himself over to
the press in a question and

Endorsed for Governor at the

that one of the major issues

Guardian Afro Plan

President Dwight D. Essen
hover, through his secretary,
has expressed warm interest
in the recent Boston Guardian
series of articles advocating
closer relations between the
United States and Africa while
utilizing trained Afro-Ameri-
cans as a federal nucleus of
workers to aid Uncle Sam in
the fight against communism.
While no official comment
could be expressed at this time,
the presidential communication
did state that the Guardian
plan outlined recently in "Bos-
ton Baked" would be placed
before the proper authorities
and would be given serious
consideration"
Should the plan bear fruit,
theGuardian editors are not for
claiming undue credit. Many
other Afro American editors
have advocated the same policy
for many, many years. Never
theless, the Guardian is hon
ored to have been a standard
bearer recognized by the White
House.
Editors and columnists for
the most part have continued
the more than fifty year pro-

equality for colored people.
