WHAT is OBLIGATION?

That question is susceptible t,
many answers. An interesting one
is given by U. S. COMMISSIONS
of Education Brownell in an ar.
ticle appearing in Today's Health
a publication of the American
Medical Association. To him, edu-
cation is san investment in the
guidance and growth - mental
physical and spiritual - of to-
days children, youth and adults
He adds, cit is an investment pro-
tected always by community ira
dition, local pride and response
blhty for the school"
Commissioner BrownelPs article
bears the title Challenges to Our
Schools" AS everyone who reads
the papers and magazines knows,
these challenges are very real and
IN many instances severe today.
Their most obvious manifesto
ton is found in oVercrowding of
the schools and an insufficiency
of teachers and classrooms. In adj
dition, there are less p%ublicized
problems - including that of
health, with which the Browneu
article is largely concerned.
Our population growth has been
enormous - the census rolls have
Swelled by 100000 in less than
two years. The Commissioner
quotes a government official as
stating that "the stork has dis
placed the eagle as the most rep
reSentative American bird" The
1856 academic year will see a
record school enrolment. There
will be some 36,718,OOO young
sterS in the public and non-public
elementary schools, and an addi-
tional 2,839,000 students in col
leges and universities.
And this, the commissioner
points out, is only the beginning.
When the 1859 = go school year
rolls around, it is estimated that
the public elementary and secon-
Diary schools alone will have an
enrolment of $685. 900, and stu
dents in nonpublic schools will
up the figure to 42,818,O0O.
Statistics, Commissioner Brow
nell observes, challenge leaders
in health as well as those in
education Some 8,0OO,0 900 Amer
leans are estimated to have some
known chronic disease, physical
impairment or mental disorder.
It is predicted that one in II of
U. S. children will spend some
time in a mental institution. Ac-
cidents claim the lives and health
of the young as well as their
elders, which has led to many
schools adopting motor vehicle
instruction as part of the curri-
cula. Juvenile delinquency is a
related problem which grows
steadily more critical DR..
Brownel believes that "educa-
tors and health specialists can
probably do much in a preventive
way" There are nearly 5000, 900
children who need specialized
education attention because of
physical, emotional, mental and
other abnormalitieS. And we still
have a long way to 60 in eradi-
eating illiteracy. To quote him
again, "We have a nationwide
problem of educating the physi-
cally and mentally handicapped
child as well as the especially gift

Are you all ready for Christmas?
By the time you read this you
should have all your shopping COM
pleted, your gifts wrapped, the
menu for Christmas dinner made
out and some of the fnod already
prepared and in the freezer. You
have your paAing ali finished, lots
of candy made, Christmas dresses
seWed and Sunday suits pressed,
the tree is trimmed and all the
lights are working, you're trying
your best to control the exhu-
brance and excitement of the chill
dren in your household or they'll
be worn out and so will you by
the time Christmas eve arrives.
You can just sit down now and
relax until it gets here, can't you?
If you're like most of us though,
things haven't worked out that way
at all, even though last year at
Christmas time you vowed that
this year things would be different.
you weren't going to wait until the
last minute with some of those
tasks. That day Of the oath of

washed and put up, SO they'll be
so bright and lovely on Christmas

ingenuity, but it's still so much
fun, it makes you think longingly
of that period in your life when
you, too, could get so excited and
happy. l love those little ones in
my Sunday School class so very
much, and envy them too.
Whatever you do, don't let any
one spoil this Christmas for you.
There are always those perverted
and Schooge-like characters who
can't stand to see anyone happy
any time, and certainly not at
Christmas. They grippe and grumble
about all the festivities they have
to go to, or about how much every
thing is going to cost, or = we'll,

formation was bright, and some of
if on the gloomy side.
Another enjoyable thing about
meeting such as this is the fact
that you meet SO many interesting
people, some folks you've known
a long time and others are brand
new acquaintances. I've often
heard the name of Bob RouSh
mentioned, / knew that he is
mighty busy farmer, he milks cows
on his dairy farm, he's president of
the Sandusky County Farm Bureau
Coop board and also that county'S
organizational director Chats
full-time job in itself. He's very
active in his church, teaches Sun
day SIefool, is Boy Scout leader,
etc. | know he has more activities
than that, but these are the only
ones | can remember right now
from the information l got during
a conservation with Glen Maddy,
associate County Agent in Sandus-
ky County (another new acquain-
tance of mine. I'm SO happy to say.
Well, just by coincidence, Bill and
l happened to be sitting just across
from Mr.. RouSh at this meeting,
and thus | got to know him. He is
positively one of the most alert in
dividuals I've talked to in "a coon's
age. he has a wealth of know
ledge about so many things that
farm people should be vitally in
terested in, and the ideas that he
has on trying to solve some of the
problems that farm people are hav-
ing are we'll thought out" and
sound. He had various clippings
that he'd cut from the editorial
pageS of certain newspapers, and
I'll bet that if he'd have chance
to debate with some of those writ
ers, he'd really set them straight on
a LOT of things. asked him if he
would come to Fremont some Sat
urday morning so we could con-
tinue our discussion and at the
same time fet you hear him too,
He said he would indeed, and we
set the date for Saturday, Jan. 7.
So if you farmers would like to
listen to him talk, (and we'd really
be lucky if there were more like
him in high positions of authority
in farm organizations it'll be worth
your while to listen in.

they're just downright cynical and

one. / was so shocked to hear
certain wife and mother say that
she just hated it when Christmas
came, her husband was raising

makes 1t particularly bad when
there are children in the household,
they sense this undercurrent of
feuding, and when they do get
those gifts, they can't enjoy them
because they're made to feel as
though they never should have had
them in the first place, and feel as
though they must go and crawl in
some out of the way place if they
want to play with them. Unlike
Schooge, these characters never do
change, | guess it's the way they're
put together. Yesterday morning
listened to DR.. Norman Vincent
Peale's radio broadcast, and he said
that the one thing that mature in
dlvlduals will have to learn is to
take people the way they come,
and try not to let them get on your
nerves. Thank goodness there
aren't too many people like that,
and if you know someone who falls
in that category, let's hope that a
little bit of this wonderful peace
and good will that we feel will
soak through that she'll and sort Of
soften them just little.

that every one of you have the
most blessed and happy celebra-
ton of this birthday of Jesus that
