How Ball Bounces

No playing-rule is of great
er validity in the world of
sports than that one which
demands. Keep your eye on
the BALI" In a government
of, by, and for the people and
in which the ordinary citizen
can influence the course of
events only by his vote for
public officials, it is especially
necessary that the voter keep
his eye on the ball" In Vir-
ginia in the Democratic pri-
mary election on the 14th
the voter must know "the
ball" when he sees it and act
accordingly.
Here in the Tenth Virginia
District we hear many candi-
dates declare that the ball"
is the matter of public
schools, while other candi-
dates say that 1.-The ball" is
the race question or some
thing special among our
rights named civil rights"
1.-THE ball" is none of these.
THE ball" this year and for
some years to come is, and
will be "the right of local
self-government," the right
of local people to decide the
local questions which affect
them, the right of a COM
munity to conduct its own
affairs free from interior
ence by nosey outsiders, a
right Embedded in our Con-
stitution and in the constitu-
tionS of 40 States which we
call States rights"

good guidance counselor" DR..
Rail said. "She must know a
great deal about college admls-
Sions, about job qualifications.
about teen-age psychology.
TO a teacher or a parent, a
date may be unimportant, but
to the teen-ager it can become
the most important thing in his
life. If we laugh at or ridicule
the problems of the high school,
student, we can create emo
tional problems that may leave

DR.. Bedell explained that the

They attract competent teach

given to a pupil 10 years ago
will probably not be true today.
Many youngsters find. when
they apply to college, that they
should not have dropped the
third year Of French or the
second year of math. They
need both of these subjects to
enter the better colleges or uni
versities. But then it is too
late.
Youngsters need assistance
in many areas. Getting into
college is just one; another is
the choice of a profession or
a vocation. The guidance
counselors are called upon to
evaluate the Students record
and decide whether he should
be urged to continue with his
studies or to seek job upon
leaving high school. The
counselor is asked: Shall I go
into medicine? Law Engineer
ing? Social Work Or none
of these.
Helps Utilize Resources
Guidance" explained DR..
Bedell, enables students to
make the maximum possible
use of their education. 1t en-
ables the schools to achieve the
maximum effectiveness with
their students. And it helps the
Nation to utilize its resources
to the fullest"
In high school, DR.. Bedell
said, one guidance counselor
should be available for every 300
students. Unhappily, this stand
ard is rarely met. Some high
schools in New York City may
have two guidance counSelorS
for 1000 seniors. You have to
make an appointment weeks in
advance to see them.
1--WE given up trying to see
my guidance counselor" one
young senior in a large city high
school noted sadly. After
wait weeks, ! get about 10 hur-
ried minutes of the counselor's
time. I just don't know where
to turn for advice"
Many States recognize the
importance Of counseling
Whereas until recently the
slogan was Anyone Can Be a
Guidance Counselor" now
school systems have established
definite training standards. Be-
fore a license is granted, the
potential counselor must take a
year of graduate work, half OF
it in the professional field OF
guidance and counseling.
Catch-As-Catch-Can
IL; But many States still oper-
/. ate on a catch-aS-catch-can
basis. Sometimes the high
school principal will say: Mrs.
Jones, YOU have three vacant
periods a week. Evidently there
, isn't enough interest in ad-
vanced French this year. I want
you to serve as guidance coun-
selor for those three periods"
What can we expect under
this arrangement? There are
not enough qualified men and
women to go around.

NEW YORK. Dec. ia Ma
tion-wide campaign to strength
en- guidance and counseling in
the public schools Is now under
way.
The Federal Government will
spend IS million in 1860 to help
train men and women to

An estimated $4,000 guidance
counselors are now attached to

A serious shortage of guild

poets of millions of boys and

larly in the rural areas or III
small cities, are unable to pro-
