I would like to comment on
the man who hasn't a high
school education.
Often people use this as an
excuse for ignorance and
really don't want the educa-
ton badly enough to work for
it. The opportunities in this
area are unlimited. Hundreds
of people go to night school.
They are in the high schools
all over the District and I
know of some in Maryland
and Virginia, but I will men,
ton those in Washington be-
,ause / know more about them.

'lour a night three nights a

courses which meet one night
for three hours). You may
take them for high school
credit, or for pleasure If you
are already q graduate. They

Mrs. E. N. W. Washington
I am so pleased to read the
opinions of X. A. c. about
nicknames for junior-they
coincide exactly with my own.
Can anyone give one good
reason for juniors? They say,
His father will want it," Why?
Can't his father like him just
as well with another name?
And those nicknames!

To the lady who wanted a
nickname for her son, Jack,
jr.: Why not call him by his
middle name? Please do not
infiict on the child such a dis
gushing nickname as Junior,
Bruz. Chip. Ditto or anything
else so cute" Such names
prove to, be a humiliation as
the child grows up. / cannot
imagine why people do not
sense the cruelty in giving a
child that kind OF nickname.
For that matter, why do
people persist in naming their
sons junior and even jack III,
when this practice leads to SO
much confusion?

If you really wanted to, I be-
lieve you could divide humanity
into two broad classes; those who
don't like to wake people up and
those who do. I, myself, belong
to the first class; it's practically
impossible for me to jolt anyone
out of a sound slumber. This is
a mighty inconvenient attitude
for a person who has to awake
two school children every morn
ing. AS a result / let them sleep
until the last possible moment
very bad training for later life
and then give Dell a ten minute
start on Sam. After all, earrings,
lipStick, makeup, and cologne do
take time to apply. II either of
them sneeze, or look flushed, I
Immediately decide to let them
sleep, and then two seconds later
/ change my mind and wake
them up - with profuse apollo
gies - to inquire how they feel.
Usually all this silly fluttering
around rouses them sufficiently
and it's seldom indeed that ! am
forced to pluck them out by the
hair.
My reluctance to disturb slum-
Der is even greater in the baby's
case Many a time I've started
to get him up from his nap early
$50 / can put him to bed again
at eight o'clock and just haven't
had the fortitude to go through
with it. Edwin is always SO sweet
and innocent when he's asleep
and so wicked and impish when
he's awake.
There are lots of people, how
ever, who do not suffer from
this Hamlet-like "to wake or not
to wake" dilemma. Nurses, l have
found, belong to this category.
They are especially CHEEKY and
vocal at five in the morning and
get positive pleasure out of turn
ing on overhead lights and polk
ing thermometers at people.
Hotel clerks are also among
those who have no qualms about
waking people. You probably did
leave a call at the desk for seven
o'clock. but after the clerk has
rung six or seven times and got
no answer, you'd think he'd re-
alize you had changed your mind
and didn't want to get up so
early - if at all. But no, he
keeps plugging away until in des-

TAKE CUE FROM
A NEIGHBOR

There used to be something about
queStionnaires from a school that irk-
ed parents. Evidently the trend is
moving toward acceptance of such
practices.
AT least. only SO of ISL parents
at Gnideway. failed to return theirs
to the school
Such questions as: Are you satisfied
with the school lunch program? Do
YOU believe your child is progressing
according to his or her ability? Have
YOU discussed your child's work with
his or her teacher? Do you believe
that the grades placed on your child's
report card are accurate and show
true indication of the work being
done by your child? Do YOU see that
Your child does his or her home work?
Are you satisfied with your child's
bus driver? Would you attend an
open house i'll January or February?
These are the kinds of questions
asked. They are important in that
they pertain to virtually every phase
of the school pattern.
Of more Importance is the fact that
such questions tend to force parents
into thinking about the school. Oft
times parent might not give thought
TO whether or not his child is receiv
ing adequate lunches at school. Thus
the QUESTIONABLE prompts him to
learn more about the program.
Only one pertinent phase of school
parents relations seemed amiss. And
that only in the light of overwhelm-
lngly approval of the other school
activities. SiXty-three parents noted
they had discussed their child's work
with his or her teacher. Fifty-nina
replied in the negative on the sarae
question.
BY returning the questionnaires
parents have given school officials an
opportunity TO survey the situation
and plan to correct any phase that
might be tagging.
We commend Guideway parents
Tor taking such an active interest in
their school. Parents in other COM
munities could take cue from these
neighbors.
