, going. and she's fixed my
daughter with . blind date at
Cornell. Shall I consent?
Answer: There's nothing per-
sonal about this question,
You're in the same boat with
many other parents who are
more than slightly concerned
at the freedom that our young
people have nowadays. When
your daughter leaves home for
the first time. and then asks
permission to 60 overnight
away from her own campus on
q blind-date party. it does give
you reason to pause and think.
! know. I've been through
this. With two daughters in
college-one Q 21-year-old SEN
ior, the other an 1S-year-old
freShman-my wife and I have
wrestled with the problem Of
weekend dates. But we have
said yes each time. and Our
faith in our daughters has not
been misplaced.
If you have given your
daughter Q good moral and
spiritual background, If she
has high ethical standards, you
need not worry. After all, you
cannot be with your daughter
at all times anyway. II she
wants to 60 of the moral res
ervation. she will do so without
the excuse Of q fraternity
party.
I'm betting on your daugh-
ter. though, and on daughters
and sons everywhere. Basically
our youth is wholesome and
honest. They have their own
standards. and in the main
they are no worse than ours
were q generation ago.
My advice: Say yes.
Question: I'would like to get
q teaching job. I don't have
q license in this country, but
I taught history in Cuba before
I left suddenly Q month ago.
Is there any private school or
college that would take me? ]
have three degrees.
Answer: Despite your good
academic background, you'll
have trouble getting q teaching
post. Unfortunately, we don't
have central placement agen-
cies for persons who need the
help you require. During
World War II, when Hitler
forced many brilliant teachers
and scientists to flee. some
public-spirited individuals and
agencies set up university In
exile" centerS. That has not
taken place as far as "exllcs''
from Cuba or other countries
are concerned. You might
check with the State officials
where you would like to teach,
to see>what courses, If any, you
would need to meet minimum

EDUCATION
FORUM
By BENJAMIN FINE

Question: I am planning to
move from Ohio to New York.
I am interested in learning
about public schools in that
State. Can you suggest sources
Of material that would give
evaluations and comparisons
Of the different school systems
in New York State? How can I
tell whether the school system
is good or inferior?
Answer: Your question is
asked daily by thousands Of
families. They, too, want to
know how to- judge q good
public SCHOOL, system, and
whether the NEW community
they win move into has good
schools. That is the problem
faced not >only by those, like
yourself. who move from one
section Of the country 10 an
other, but even by those who
move within q State, or from
the city to the suburbs.
School systems vary widely
from State to State, and from
city to city within the State
itself. There Is ne answer to
your question. Unfortunately,
you cannot 60 to q central
agency In New York or any
other State and get an ac-
curate evaluation Of one school
system versus another.
There are. however, certain
rules Of thumb to guide you.
How. much are the teachers
paid? What Is the turnover
rate in teacher employment?
How much money does the
community spend per child?
How modern are the buildings
and other facilities? How
active is the Citizens Com
1nittee for Better Schools, the
PTA. or other school groups?
Have there been many con-
troversies over the election of
school board members? In
short, is the school community
relationship good. and do the
citizens support the public
schools?
To get answers to these ques-
lions, you would first have to
determine to what section Of
The Stste you plan to move.
Then you might write to the
local PTA president, the chair.
man Of the citizens committee
or head Of the school board for
further details. Above all, once
you move to the new commu-
nifty, become active and inter-
eSted In school problems. I
have found that the commu-
nifty reflects the interest Of the
parents. II you have good civic
interest, you will have good
schools.
Question: This Is a somewhat
personal and perhaps delicate
question. Ny daughter Is at
tending an exclusive Eastern
women's college in New Eng
land. Some Of her classmates
are going to Cornell for q frat
ernity week end. I don't want
to sound old fashioned. but I
am concerned. Is 1t safe to
permit an 18-year-old girl to
spend . week end on another
campus? Her roommate Is

pairing their recommendation.
Assuming that the soil tests
go PHI then the owner might
well apply an inexpensive grade
of sulphur, 21z pounds per 100
square feet of bed, which
should lower the PHI reading
to so. This is about the max
imum change that should be
made in one season. The sui
phur treatment is inexpensive
and easy to apply. Simply pull
the mulch away from the root
area, spread the sulphur and
put the mulch back into place.

to the azaleas they suffer and
are subject to winter injury. We
do not see these problems and
when the leaves and twigs ap-
pear dead in the spring.
We should start our program
for the control of these tiny
pests the first 10 days in May.
That is when the sucking in
sects are starting to multiply.
} Fortunately, this season, we
have a new material to include
in the spray mixture used to
fight sucking insects, TEDION.
Its value lies in the fact that
it kills the eggs and nymphs
whereas most of the other
miticides kill only the adults.
By combining Tedion with NAL
athion the complete population
can be wiped out with one
thorough going application.
The effectiveness of any con-
troll program largely depends
upon covering the undersur-
face of every leaf. The twiggy
growth of the azalea makes it
imperative that a high pressure
application be made from be-
low.
With thorough coverage only
s few applications need be
made during the growing sea-
son. A program might be once
in May, June, August and late
September. If nearby host
plants were sprayed reinfeSta-
ton would be materially slowed
down and fewer applications
might provide the desired pro-
lection.
The correction of the soil
acidity should be preceded by
a soil test to determine the
amount of acid forming mate
rials that should be used. Soil
tests may be made with one of
the small Soil-teSting kits COM
monty sold by the garden sup
ply stores; it also may be made
by one Of the State soil labora-
tories.

The second cause, common in

Pastures
Due to the extra cool days
and nights during the first part
of May grasses have made very
little growth in the pastures.
Most of our early clovers are
dying and will play out within
the next few days. In order to
stimulate new growth of grasses
it would be advisable to apply
nitrogen at the rate of 1850
units per acre on grass pasture.
If you have lots of lespedeza
in your pasture apply phosphate
and potash and leave off the
nitrogen. Where such grasses
ds bermuda and common graS-
ses occur it would be advisable
70 use your nitrgen on such
areas.
One acre of pasture fortified
with 40 = go units of nitrogen
at this time will give you more
grazing than four acres of I'M
fortified pastures. Unless you
have an excess of grass at this
time in your pasture it certainly
would be to your advantage to
fertilize in order to keep plenty
of grass for your cows to eat.
Temporary Grazing
Millet and sudan makes ex-
cellent temporary grazing. Most
OF our livestock producers US
ually find a shortage of grass
In July and August. If you have
available land adjoining your
pasture that could be planted
to INLET Or sudan for temporary
grazing during the months your
pasture is short, it would be
well to do so.
Keep it in mind that the time
you plant your millet it would
usually be 4-6 weeks before you
! would be able to Craze the area
depending upon the amount of
fertilizer and moisture you
! have in your soil. Your millet
or sudan should be fortified
with $3.50 units of nitrogen per
acre. Where planting broadcast
prepare a good seed bed and
plant approximately 80 pounds
of seed per acre broadcast. If
you want to plant in rows plant
10 pounds per acre. It would
be well to cultipack well after
planting seed.
, Your may begin to Craze your
millet when 1913 inches tall.
One acre of INLET on good land
! fortified property will Craze
As COWS over a period of 30-35
days with controlled grazing.
u you do not need the millet
or sudan for temporary grazing
later on you can harvest it for
sudan anytime during the sum-
hay. You may plant millet Or
mer from May 1 to July 1.
