The Association for Childhood
Education International of which
Mrs. Clarice Titles is president,
met at our school on Wednesday,
Jan. IL.
We were disappointed over the
attendance at our PTA meeting
on Monday, Jan. Is. We are
thinking that the poor attendance
was due to the cold weather and
perhaps that the meeting was not
held on our regular date - the
first Monday of the month. Plans
are now being made for our Feb.
6 meeting.
Miss j. Bellamy, Mrs. z. Jones,
Mrs. r. White and Mrs. c.
Crumpton continue to have the

we ask you parents to give your
children permission to remain 80
minutes after school for Bible
Glass. We are also deSiri0uS of
having our pupils attend Sunday

a very interesting trip by bus to
Africa. u. S. A, Boca Ration.
The group was eager TO see the
sights and animals roaming about

VISIT TO zoo AND
SEAQUARIUM

A large number of Carver pup
lis attended the Crandon Park
Zoo, where they were able to
view animals and note their char
acteriSticS, and habits. A smaller
number visited the Seaquarium.
They were very much impressed
with the beauty of the place.
During the show, several por-
poises jumped many feet above
the water for fish. A trained por-
poise displayed the ringing of a
bell with ease and brought back
a dumb bell in place of the orig
inal and raised flag. The group
observed a baby male nursing
from her mothers breast. They
were amazed. At this interval
they learned that the poropise is
not a fish, but a warm blooded
mammal born alive as the hu-
man. A trained sea lion further
captivated their attention as he
balanced a ball on his nose and
took a high dive. Many other ami
mails were observed such as the
sea turtle, shark and octopus.
The group enjoyed having lunch
in the patio where they sat in the
sun in the. comfortable lawn
chairs. This taste of desegregatior
was very pleasant.
This trip was experienced by
the science classes with Mes
DANES Arthurine Chavis and Elsie
Williams sponsorship.

DOUGLAS ELEMENTARY

Now that the reading practicum
is about to come to close. we
can honestly say that we have
gained through our practical ex-
periences in irving to improve
reading at Douglas. This program
is nation wide. but the teachers
at Douglas have really concern
ed themselves with this ever ores
emit problem, and are evaluating
their methods of instruction in the
light of the problem and compil-
ing data to prove their statements.
Even though the class will end
this month we will continue our
study in terms of progress re-
port after the facts are compiled.
Mrs. G.. Williams wasted no
time after the holidays in adding
10 the enjoyment of her pupils.
The class visited the Seaquarium
last and was amazed to see the
number of wonders of the sea.

panied Mrs. N. Cars class on

child'S morale when they can see
evidences of parents interest in
their school activities. What bet

Germ than by frequent visits to
the school, classroom, and by 60
ing along on excursions.
If you missed PTA meeting ON
Thursday you missed a treat that
was a splerdor to behcld. In spite
of the inclement weather a large
number Of parents were present
to hear Rev. E. Graham, minister
of Mt. Zion Baptist Church speak
on his recent visit to Europe. He
fascinated everyone with slides
made on his sojourn, accompani-
ed by brief description of each.
Space does not permit me to
name of all the scenes, but to
mention a few, there were scenes
taken in London, Paris, Italy,
Egypt, Ethiopia and Jerusalem.
Mrs. Cherrye M. Boyer, PTA pres
ident, was in charge Of the pro-
gram. She encouraged all of the
parents to pay their membership
fee in order to defray expenses to
send a representative to the State
Conference that will convene soon.
Douglas pupils were made
aware of the crisis that is being
faced by the migratory workers in
South Dade through an appeal
made by Mrs. Mallie H. Johnson
on Monday. Pupils responded gen.
erouSly to this call by bringing a
food collection to help relieve the
suffering that the workers are en-
countering due to our recent cold
spell.
Off the sick list and with us
again are Mesdames Madge Por-
tier, Hazel Cato, and Eolyn KIM

PHYLLIS WHEATLEY

Time was when schools closed
because of cold weather. that is
really in the past. Our school
buildings are now delightfully."-
well heated and very comfortable.
We are soliciting the cooperation
of our parents in assisting in the
Mothers March ON Polio. This is
very urgent and every mother is
needed. The services your child
rem receive from this fund is be-
yond the reach of most parents.
Your child receives equal care,
there is absolutely no discrimina-
ton. Won't you join forces? One
never knows whose child will be
next.
Colds have almost reached the
epidemic stage. Proper clothing.
food and rest are the best pre-
ventives. Each day some child has
to be taken to or clinic because
of illness. A close check ON your
child's health is so very impor-
liant.
We are happy to welcome Mrs.
Kenneth Washington, daughter Of
our principal, >and her two child
rem who are continuing their visit
with Mr.. and Mrs. Albert.
We extend a most cordial invi-
tation to all of our parents and
friends to visit us at any time
PERSONAL TO PARENTS
Dear Parents:
Many times you underestimate
your child'S abilities just as you
overeStimate them. On each We'd
nesday morning, we have our gen
eral assembly at which time the
different classes present programs
These programs are usually class
plays. It is very gratifying to note
the talent many children display
You would be very proud 10 see
them. Your presence would really
put them at their best and your
pleasure would lend the much
needed encouragement that gives
a child something to live up to.
Many parents do attend the pro
grams when their children are In
cluded, but not nearly as many
as should. Strange to- say thai
parents who show the creates
concern and interest are th0S<
whose children are succeeding
more consistently and SatiSfac'
tor;.y. Remember each WedneS'
day at $50 O'Clock.

What We Don't Know About Polio
What we don't know about
polio today will some day fill
great many books.
We know enough to be able to
say that polio will eventually be
controlled, but there remain wide
areas we lack knowledge. March
Of Dimes research projects are
now working to fill in the gaps.
We do not know for example,
how long the effect of the Salk
vaccine lasts. The reason we don't
know is that there has not been
enough time to find out.
We don't know how to make the
Salk vaccine without using mon
keys. Several scientists working
uiNder grants from the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis are now looking for kind OF
cell that will multiply indefinitely
in the laboratory and will pro-
vide suitable tissue to cultivate
virus for the vaccine
We don't know whether the
Salk vaccine can be improved.
VaccineS for other diseases have
been greatly improved over the
years.
We don't yet have drug that will
'3revent polio or that is effective
in the treatment of the disease.
We don't know if Snch drugs can
be found.
Despite the long study that has
been made of polio we don't know
Of simple diagnostic test which
can be carried out in the aver
age laboratory.
There are other vast unknown
areas. Scientists are working to-
ward better methods of caring
for those who have alreayd beens
stricken by polio.
Enough is known about polio

"WHY JOIN A, SORORITY OR
FRATERITYT

FRATERlTYr'
NOTE: This. weeks column Ia
dedicated to all Greek letter sor-
critics and fraternities, o..
The organization OF the Greek
letter sororitieS and fraternities
among college women and men
has been one of the inevitable re-
suits of the development of col
lege life among students in Amer
ca. College fraternal groups have
been the special development Cd
college life among students in
America. College fraternal groups
have been the. special develop
ment of the college and university
life of the United States and Can
ada. Relationships may be noted
with the fraternal organization
and convicationS Of the Middle
Ages and with corps of German
universities in the modern period.
The underlying basis for their or
ganization is found In two funda-
mental attractions for youth
through all ages. (1) the comrade-
ship which youth Graves and finds
for itself, and ~ the spirit Of
high idealiSm which youth has
been ever willing to follow.
1t is claimed that sororities and
fraternities are outside inStitu-
tons which tend to DESTROY the
class related activities of a college
campus. This we do not believe.
FraiernitieS and soririties have a
very definite place on q college
campus. The class related activi-
ties certainly have their place on
the college campus because they
are directly connected to the col
lege curriculum, however, the
founders of our colleges have
failed to recognize the fact that in
order to develop a full person
there should be a saocial side to
every students nature; that col
lege life should consist of some
thing more than study of the
dead Greek culture, mathematical
puzzles, or psychology and other
scholarly Investigations. Study be-
comes WeariSome if pursued I'M

No better outlet could be provided
