college will make your daughter
a better mother, a better house
wife and what is just as i'm
portant, a better citizen and
voter.
I know that our colleges are
overcrowded. But instead of
putting a quota around women
students, let's build more COL
legeS. Unless we have enough
competent college trained men
and women. we will never be
able to maintain our place in
the space-age world of today.
Don't sell our women short!
Question: My 13-year-old
boy is in the eighth grade. He
will enter high school this fall.
He's doing poorly in school.
Shall we send him to a private
boarding school so he can learn
better study habits and i'm
prove his scholastic work? We
want to do what is best for him.
Answer: You can't escape
your responsibility as parents
by sending your child away.
Private schools have a valuable
place in our educational scheme
OF things, but they are not
meant to be homes of correc-
ton or disciplinary centers.
There may be a number of rea-
sons why your boy is not doing
well in school. He may be a
slow learner. He may have an
emotional problem that needs
psychiatric help. He may be a
late starter.
Sending him away will not
solve these problems. In fact,
they may be intensified, par
ticularly if your 13-year-old is
immature or emotionally un-
stable, I'd suggest that you keep
him at home for another year,
let him finish junior high and
If by then he has not snapped
out OF it, consider sending him
to a good boarding school next
year. He'll be a year older then
and you'll have a better picture
OF what he can do.
Question: I'm planning to
buy an encyclopedia. Is this
worth buying for junior and
senior high school-age young
SterS?
Answer: By all means I be-
lieve in surrounding children
with good reading material,
1here is nothing better than
a good encyclopedia around
the house. But be certain that

pedias, only to put them on an
inaccessible shelf as a show
piece. Your boy or girl will
probably do better work in
school if he consults his en-
cyclopedia at home frequently.
Question: My daughter wants
to take her junior year abroad.
She feels that a year in France
or Italy will be more valuable
to her than a year in her own
Eastern college. What do you
think2
Answer: The junior-year-
abroad movement has Grown
tremendously in recent years.
Hundreds of men and women
now spend their third college
year in any one of several
dozen countries in Europe,
Latin America or Asia. The
students who go abroad for
their third year are supervised
and get a good college course.
In addition, they are able
to do considerable travelling.
Also, they get to see sights and
places that might otherwise be
little more than pictures in
their geography or history
books. I would strongly recon-
mend the junior-year trip. 1t
is somewhat more expensive
but well worth the extra price.
Question - am a high
school junior and would like
to get information concerning
the Future Teachers of Amer
lea. How can I start a chapter
in our school?
Answer-Talk to your guild
ance counselor. If you don't
have one, write to the National
Education Association, 1901
Sixteenth street NV, Wash
ington, D. c., for advice. The
NEA sponsors the Future
Teachers organization. hope
you find satisfaction in teach
ing.
Question My child gets
nervous when she has to take
a test. Sometimes she gets
physically sick. Is this un-
usual?
Answer No, it is rather
common. Prof. Seymour Sara
son Of Yale, in his recent book,
Anxiety in Elementary School
Children" found that more
children worry about school
work, grades and taking tests
than adults realize. His sug-
gestion: Let's stop putting so
much pressure on our chill
dren. I agree completely.

June Graduates Show Little Interest in Politics
By DR.. BENJAMIN FINE

A record 2 million students
are being graduated this
month from the Nations public
and private high schools. They
form the first graduating class
Of the 1960S, and among them
are many who will be the
economic. political and social
leaders of the 21St Century.
They will be in their SOS when
the year 1000 comes around.
Who are these young men
and women who will be making
the big decisions a few years
from now? What are their
hopes? Their fears?
To find out, this writer has
made a study, including many
interviews with students, teach
erS and officials, of the gradual
ing class of WeStbury IN. "
High School-as typical a class
as any.
First School in 1S4O
Westbury, % miles from New
York City, is a village of $500.
Its first public school was
founded in 1910 at a total cost
OF $179.16 building and fur
nishingS). Its first high school
was opened in 1915 and four
years later its first class-of
three StudentS-was graduated.
This month 189 Westbury
seniors are receiving their di-
plomas. In common with grad
yates everywhere, they are
divided into two groups: Those
who plan to go to college and
those who will start working
Immediately.
Seventy per cent of the
Westbury seniors took the COL
lege preparatory program, but
only So per cent have been ac-
cepted by colleges to date. The
others, with varying degrees of
hope. are still waiting. (The
Westbury class is somewhat
above average; as throughout
the United States only about
90 per cent of the high school
graduates go on to college.)
Students Are Younger
One fact Immediately ap-
parent on seeing the Westbury
graduates is that they are
younger than their brothers
and sisters Of a decade ago.

school students are taking in
strumental music courses.
An estimated 1,400 Alex
andria students started sum-
mer school Wednesday, about
325 over last years enrolment.
In addition, ITS pupils are
taking special music training
at Minnie Howard Elementary
School.
R e m e dial instruction in
mathematics or English is
being offered four hours a day
for elementary school pupils.
Secondary Subjects
Secondary school students
are taking classes in most reg
ular subjects except foreign
languages. Both remedial and
credit work is avail
able. Students can graduate in
the Alexandria summer session.
Elementary school classes will
end August 3, but the secon-
Diary school program will con-
tinue until August II.
In Fairfax County, over 1900
secondary school pupils are at
tending daily four-hour classes
began June II and will
continue until August IL. About
325 elementary school students,
the same number as last year,
are attending daily one-hour
sessions that started June 16
and will run for six weeks.
Two types of secondary
school classes are being offered.
About 1850 pupils are attend
ing tuition classes in most of
the regular subjects at AMMAN

and school officials as liable and

Your Education Forum
BY DIR. BENJAMIN FINE

North American Newspaper Alliance
Question: My son has
f1unked out of his university,
He has been told he can't re-
apply for at least a year. But
if he is accepted elsewhere
during this time, he will get
credit at his own university
when he returns. Is there any
college that will take him un-
der these conditionsP
Answer: Not very likely at
this late stage. Most colleges
have just about filled up their
fall classes. However, a year
at another institution might
be Salutary and give your son
more incentive to do better
work. I have seen boys dropped
from one college who went on
to another and accomplished
an excellent scholastic record.
I don't know the names of any
colleges that would accept your
son, but you might talk with
the guidance counselor or dean
at the university. Each year
thousands of college students
funk out. I believe that many
should receive another chance
to make good.
Question: AS a widow with
three children, I am quite con-
cerned about financing a COL
lege education for them. Do
you have any suggestions?
Answer: College is expensive
and becoming more so each
year. Here are the ways to get
help: Through scholarships, if
your children do good work:
through Federal loans, offered
by the United States Govern
ment; through student loans,
offered by most colleges and
through part-time employment
on the campus. None of these
will provide full tuition and
other costs, but they will 90
a long way toward Tightening
your burden. Lack of money
should not hold back bright
students from going to college.
The country needs trained
personnel.
Question-My child will be
5 years old in September. Shall
send her to kindergarten? Or
would it be better for nv
daughter (she's shy) to remain
at home with me?
Answer I would recon-
mend a kindergarten. We have
enough evidence to suggest that
child who goes to kindergar-
ten for a year is better adjusted
later when she enters the first
grade, and acclimates herself
to school work quicker. OF
course, much depends upon the
child, the home and the school
Some children at S are too i'm
mature to go off to school bv
themselves. But as a general
rule. 1 would recommend kim
dergarten.
QuestiOn-Should girls 60 to
college? 1 guess I'm old-fash-
1oned, but believe that men
should get the first choice at
college. Since the colleges are
over-crowded. and there won't
be enough room for all who
wish to enter, why not limit the
number of girls to be admitted?
Besides, is it important for a
girl to have a sheepskin in Or
der to find a husband? Will
mathematics make Mary a bet
ter mother?
Answer-You've opened up a
hornets nest! This is the age
old question: Should girls get
an education? My answer is
yes. I believe college is Just
as important for girls as it is
for boys. We are not utilizing
our women to fullest advan-
tage in this country. Only one
third of the college enrolment
consists Of women. Few go into
engineering, medicine, science
Evening star., 1960-06-26

This is true throughout Amer
ica. OF the 2 million June grad
yates. 10 per cent are 16, As
per cent are II, 35 per cent are
18, and 10 per cent are 10.
At Westbury, the students
may be young, but they are
serious in their thinking and
their views. Many are worried
lest a push button" war de-
Stroy them and the world be-
fore they can get started in
life. Some are fatalistic about
the dangers of a nuclear holo-
cauSt.
Yet despite their fears, the
high school students are not
very active politically. They
keep away from picket lines,
from signing petitions, or from
joining discussion clubs.
I'VE can't vote so why sign
a petition for Stevenson or
is the way Alan Lar
ris. II, who has been admitted
to Cornell, put it.
Draft Worries Boys
The boys are worried about
the draft; they do not know
whether they will be called UP
for two years before they fin
ish their college work.
81 want to finish by college
first" said Stephen Neidell. IT,
who has been admitted to the
University Of Rhode Island. If
drafted, I'll have no choice but
to go. But I want to get back
as quickly as possible to a
non-Army life"
Today'S seniors wear rosy
glasses. They haven't the
slightest doubt that they'll re-
ceive good jobs at high start
ing salaries. Those who are
going to work expect to make
from $50 to $100 a week. And
those who are entering college
think in terms of $4,000 to
$4,000 year.
Will Settle for Less
After I get out of college
I expect to make $4,000 a

f1cials are facing problems be-
cause far fewer pupils than
they expected have thus far
signed up.
Prince Georges County Of
flcials are using the summer
session to try out several ex-
perimental programs, including
Russian for high school stu
dents. Other jurisdictions also
are offering several special
programs.
In Montgomery, officials
were planning for $500 ele-
mentary students and 4,1O0
Junior and senior high school
pupils. To date. l,035 ele-
mentary school students have
signed up and applications have
been filed by only 2,1OO
secondary school pupils. Last
year, there were 1900 children
enrolled in the elementary pro-
gram and about 5000 in the
Junior and senior high school
summer course.
The reason for the Mont
gomery decline this year has
school officials stumped, said
William L. Broomall, summer
school co-ordinater. He said
the application deadline has
been extended from May 81 to
July 6.
CuSpcCtS illuminated
- Because Of reduced enroll
ment, Montgomery officials
have been forced to cut several
subjects they had hoped to
offer junior and senior high
school students.
Courses which will be Of
fered for grades 7-12 include
corrective and accelerated
reading, speech therapy, litera-
ture, mathematics, science,
instrumental music, some
foreign languages, journalism,
several review subjects and a
University of Maryland mathe-
matics project for eighth and
ninth graders.
The Montgomery summer
session will end August IL for
elementary students and Au-
gust l9 for junior and senior
high school pupils. RegiStra-
tions will be accepted at local

the summer program. There is
a $50 fee for each subject. Out
