The Teacher Has Place In Society

and if he did not behave in accor.
dance to their dictates. he'6 have
no job. No satisfaction, however,
was given for the behavior Of the
child.
The attitude of this parent is no
exception. It is something that
most teachers experience.
This particular case is only one
Of the many experiences Of a tea
cher.
Most people look upon teaching
as a second rate position and are
prone to think of a teacher as .
failure in life. This should not be
the attitude. The teacher is en-.
trusted with the worlds most SER
ious work - the education Of our
children. Since this work is so inn
portant it seems only fitting that
we as parents, should stand behind
our teachers.

Coach White
Practices
D.H.S. Tigers
~ {. {. snABURY

The Douglass Tigers began foot
ball practice last Monday morning
at 8 o'clock with an average size
squad reporting for practice.
Thus FAR, Coach White, who is
plotting the Tigers for the first
time, has restricted practice drills
to physical conditioning with great
emphasis being placed on fInda-
mentals.
II is too early for even Coach
White to draw 4 conclusion as 10
what the strength Of the team
will be for this season.
This is due in part to the fact
that he is just getting acquainted
with many Of the regulars, and
ID still awaiting the return Of
many players who have been
away On vacation or working dur
ing the summer months.
This much we do know: that
even though Coach White win not
make 4 statement as yet as to
his candid opinion Of the teams
prospects, he faces probably the
toughest grid iron schedule in the
history Of Douglass.
As . vArsity three-letter man,
under the direct coaching Of
Jake Gather, famed Head Coach
Of Florida "A and NJ University,
we know that the boys will
operate from the traditional quote
reformation" And 4 our guess
Is correct, there win also be many
variations of the T.formation en-
plOyed.
The only direct statement Coach
White has made 50 fer Is that:
football was meant to be 4
tough game: and if the fellows
give me : fighting heart and the
willingness and aptitude to accept
instructions, wen be able to play
q much better brand Of football. :"

Dimes Drive
Ends Tuesday
Give Now!

Summer time is polio time. AS
epidemicS descend upon the ma
ton, the threat of polio moves
closer to you and your children.
Until now polio has been met by
the March of Dimes, fighting your
fight against this crippling
disease.
But this year, March Of Dimes
funds were exhausted.
This years test of a polio vac
cine placed an unprecedented
drain on March Of Dimes funds.
Contributions to the January
March Of Dimes were not enough
to complete the study Of the polio
vaccine and at the same time
continue help for many thousands
of polio patients.
In recent months, the March Of
Dimes patient aid program has
been operating on borrowed time
and borrowed money. Funds for
patient aid have been taken from
vital research and education pro-
grams. Hospitals have been ask
ed to hold their polo bills.
Hospital bills can be delayed
but not forever.
Polio cannot be put off.
The disease is striking now
across the nation. Polio is reach
ing out to claim new victims to
add to its toll of $1,000 patients
from previous years who still
turn to the March of Dimes for
lifesaving equipment, for help in
their struggle to walk again.
Hard-hit communities need iron
lungs, medical personnel and
emergency funds to strengthen
their polio fight.
Your help is desperately need
ed--NOW.
At least $2O,0OO,OOO must be
raised Immediately to combat the
menace Of polio. You can help
provide these polio fighting funds
with a generous gift to the
Emergency March Of Dimes which
ends Tuesday.

Well, Friends: We have reached
the place where something should
be said about the men who roam.
ed the outfield. We have had a
number Of very good outfielders.
We would like to begin with Che
leno Perez. It is a pleasure to re-
call the type of player he was =
very fast, smart with a good throw
ing arm, he was truly great. After
leaving Key West he played with
the Miami Giants until he passed
on. His brother, Panchito, was al
so very good fielder at that time.
Allen Smith who also saw action
with some of the great Negro
teams was an outstanding fielder.

can find anyone in Key West who

Douglass School Ready For
Opening Monday, August 80

Two weeks of tedious planning
and preparation for the Douglass
School faculty came to an end yes
terday, August q.
The principal and faculty as a
whole feel that a well-rounded pro-
gram has been welded together to
the end that a higher degree of
proficiency and greatly improved
instruction win be attained.
During the summer months,
many much needed improvements
were made where the physical
plant is concerned. The beautifica-
ton program which began last
spring is still in progress. With the
help and cooperation of the entire
community, we propose to make
Douglass School one of the most
beautiful sites in Key West.
In order for this to be achieved,
more children and parents must
be willing and ready to demon
strate their loyalty and love for
the school by their actual interest
and participation in this beautifi-
cation program. It must permeate
the hearts of all of US in an un-
yielding desire to beautify and pro-
tect our school and its grounds.
So far, the Identification pro-
gram has been somewhat retard-
ed because too few of our children
have rallied to the cause in the
manner in which they are needed.
We feel, however, that this atti-
tude can and viii very quickly be
corrected.
In an effort to clarity any mis-
understanding in regards to the
$500 fee which our children will
be asked to pay, l wish to make
this statement: "The fee is charg-
ed to all pupils in grades s
for materials and supplies which
they will use and own.
"These supplies have already
been purchased by the School
Board and Douglass School and
all the other schools in the coun-
ty, with the understanding that the
parents of Douglass School chill
dren and all the other schools win
pay these fees upon the child's re-
gistration in school. The supplies
have been bought in huge quanti-
ties thereby reducing the unit cost.
s'It is not a tax and the chill
dren will actually receive a great
deal more for your investment
than they would if you had pur-
chased the same items one by one
throughout the school year. We all
want our children to have the
same instruction and the same ma
terialS as all the other children in
the community.
"ThiS being true, we shall be ex-
pected to assume the additional
cost of our children's education
just as all the other parents of all
the other school children do. Sim
cerely we hope that this win clari-
fy any misunderstanding which
now exists.
1--WE shall welcome your visit to
the school and any future inquiry
into this matter which you would
/ like to make; for we believe that
our parents love their children just
as much as any other parents in
the world"
