A LOOK AT SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

AS H SCHOOL year comes to an end the time
seems appropriate to make mention OF the need for
more, or better, or different, discipline throughout the
entire school system The department Of school children
in the streets, in public places and buildings, and in
general is such as to cause considerable concern on the
part of adults the Island over. This is no simple, laugh
ing matter to be dismissed by the simple e~xpedient Of
excusing the whole thing on the fact that they are
children.
THE CHILDREN OF today are the citizens of to-
morrow, and if these Islands are to do better than they
have in the past land God knows they need to-, then the
school community will have to give a more promising
example of what may be expected Of it when it becomes
total and wanton disraspect for their fellow citizens, and
even their attitude towards their teachers and education
as a whole is sometimes alarming.
DURING THE vacation the authorities
directly responsible could come up with ideas for solv-
ing the problem. Certainly in this they would have the
help of the School Boards, scholarship committees,
parents and citizens on the whole. Of course, we are not
unmindful Of the fact that many parents, either through
lack of understanding or a superabundance of synthetic
zeal for their young ones, contribute to the situation by
refusing to assume the proper responsibility for their
share Of work involved.
RIA A SHIFT of school officials here and
there might seem to solve the problem, but that is en-
tirely localized in character and does not touch the basic
problem. It will require more than that. In fact, the
standard pattern among baseball teams is to fire the
manager if the team is not winning. That may or may
not solve the problem.
WE BELIEVE that the entire community should be
willing to pitch in and help those directly responsible

which may have been left in barn
yards or pastures.
These pieces of metal collect in
the fore stomach, and may then
work their way through the wall,
piercing such vital organs as the
heart or liver, and causing death.
The best way to prevent this prob
lem is to make a systematic clean
up of lots and pastures, collecting
all such items. The Foundation
suggests that now, before the heavy
work season, is the time to do it.
If an animal shows signs that
hardware disease is developing, a
veterinarian can sometimes remove
the harmful metal sugrically.
Symptoms of the onset of the dis
ease include loss of appetite, a
sharp drop in milk production, a
variable fever, and the animal may
make grunting noises, and walk
with an arched back.
Where owners wish to guard
valuable animals against this con-
dition, veterinarians generally in

metal particles and holds them in
a position where they cannot do

Milbouer emphasized that the self
employed applicants claim will be
processed sL.uch sooner if he pre-
sents a copy of his income tax re-
turn, along with evidence that it
has been filed with the Director of
Internal Revenue.
Most people self-employed in a
trade or business were covered by
social security beginning with
1851 provided the annual net earn
ings are $400 or more. Net earn
ings from self-employment as an
architect, professional engineer,
accountant, or funeral director, are
covered by the Law for taxable
years ending after 1854. If you are
Ia self-employed lawyer, dentist,
osteopath, veterinarian, ,chiroprac-
tor, naturopath, or optometrist,
your earnings for taxable years
ending after 1855 will count to-
ward social security benefits. The
self-employed farmer is covered by
the Law for taxable years ending
after 1854, if his net earnings from
self-employment are $400 or more
in year.
If you desire more information
relating to old-age, survivors and
disability insurance, you should go
to your social security district off
ice, where a staff is waiting to
serve you. This office located at
504 West 10th Street, is open from
$3.50 a. m. to 500 p. m. each week
day, except Saturdays and legal
holidays.
