WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS

facts:
On any day in the year, there
are as many people hospital
lied with mental illness as with
all other diseases combined.
And half of all medical and
surgical cases treated in hos.
pitfalls or privately are primarily
emotional or complicated by
emotional factors.
An emotional or mental dis.
order may be as mild as 4 head
cold or. as severe as a coronary.
In other words, mental ILL
ness and mental health aren't
black and white Between are
every color and shade of the
spectrum, graduation from the
quite normal person to the
mentally sick person for whom
there is little hope-at present.
In recent years scientists
have discovered ways to treat
disorders once considered hope
less, and long range research
continues to probe for the fac
tors-the ultimate mystery OF
the different kinds of mental
illness, the cause or causes OF
psychoses about which we now
know little.
Psychoses and neuroses are
the two major groupings OF
mental and emotional illness.
Psychoses are severe mental
illnesses. They are found in all
parts of the world, primitive OF
civilized; many Of them are un'
related to standards of living,
ideologies and other enviorn.

The psychotic is forced by the
factors, partially or totally, into

TrompoIines

As a Montgomery County
high school student, / would
like to disagree with Mrs. Nor.
rison's attitude on trampolines
and rebound tumbling.
Any aspect of physical educa-
ton has an element of physical
danger involved. Students could
be injured participating in any
of the sports, games, and activi-
ties taught by the schools. The
only way to lessen this element
of risk is to adopt and practice
basic safety rules.
Using the trampoline necessi-
tates care and 4 proper attitude
by the student. The first points
taught in my physical education
class during our unit on re-
bound tumbling were the cor
rect way to get on and off the
trampoline and the correct way
to conduct oneself while jump.
ing. AS a result, a student using
common sense ran almost no
risk of injuring herself.
I can think of no substitute
for rebound tumbling to teach
coordination and balance. Obvi.
ously, different students will ex.
Gel in different types Of physi.
cal education. To allow only the
best students to use the tram
poline, as Mrs. Morrison sug-
gests, would be to discriminate
against those who might have a
definite aptitude for tumbling,
although not being especially
good at team sports. The major.
ity of students lin my own
school enjoy the trampohne.
1t would be unfair to deny it ia
them because of a few unfor-
tunate accidents.
There is always the chance
that there will be an accident.
This, however, is not the fault
OF the student, the equipment,
or the teacher, in particular.
Accidents can and do occur In
baseball, soccer, hockey, foot.
ball, basketball, or track and
field, but there is no demand to
abolish these. If students viii
exercise caution on the tram.
poline. they will find that it is
not dangerous or risky, but fun.

of life.
The pattern may be escape:
Avoiding people; taking long
flights into fantasy, day dream

drinking; avoiding change, re-

marriage.

shoulder; sensitivity to advice;
hostility sights set for any tar.

fellow worker, neighbors and
friends.
Then there is the better.than-

in politics; seeking wealth to
display superiority or women to
prove manliness. It's normal to
try to excel, but the neurotic

The egocentric pattern is easy
to recognize-in others! Talk.

not listening when others talk.
The self-centered neurotic can
not share. Friendship If he can
find it, is a one.way street. He
expects to be given time, atten-

When we have an ulcer we
feel pain. We may relieve it
with a drug or a selective diet,
and follow a regime of dos and
sdon'ts to encourage the healing
process. With variations, we
guard ourselves against many
Illnesses. Our century of med
ical achievement has taught us
chow to give ourselves the best
possible chance when sickness
threatens.
And that includes mental
sickness.
Mental and emotional disor.
ders are sicknesses: They are
disturbances OF function that
can be diagnosed and treated.
And the earlier many of them
are treated, the better the
chances of recovery.
So there are things you
should know to protect yourself
and your family against mental
illness.
But you may ask, "Why me?"
sand declare you aren't ready
for the BOBBY hatch" and that
your Aunt Sara may be 'eccen-

These are flip whistlings in the

thought of mental disorder fills
you with alarm; perhaps be.

carded the superstitions and
stigmas which still cloud the
subject-in spite of the under.
standing tn a t has broken
through the miasma of miscon.
captions that have obscured
mental illness throughout the
centuries.
The first step toward mental
health is to acknowledge that a
mental disorder is nothing that

it can happen within the circle
of your family and friends. II

Public School System

The public school system of
the United States is not just
another school system but a
democratic institution which de-
serves the same esteem and
allegiance as the Presidency, the
Congress and the Supreme
Court. No American has any
more right to evade taxes for
public schools than he has to
evade taxes used to pay the
salary of our President or a
member of the Supreme Court.
Arguing against Federal aid
to education from honest objec-
zion is one thing and arguing
that any American should be
excused from paying taxes to
support the public schools is
quite another. No American,
regardless of faith or race, has
the right to evade his duty to
support the public schools = it
doesn't matter whether his chill
dren go to school in Rome or
Timbuktu. Some of this anti
public school propaganda going
around borders on subversion.
We could end up like Spain with
all education in the hands of the
church and all government in
the hands of a dictator.
Public schools educate our
children for life in a republic
where church and state are
separate and where narrow Sec
tartan loyalties do not intrude
into our government or the pub
lie schools. Like the Constitu-
ton, oui public schools encour-
age all faiths and creeds to live
together in harmony. Our pub
lie schools are Goddess" in the
sense that they espouse no sec
tartan viewpoints. Our fore
fathers knew of the evils of
bringing the clash of narrow
sectarian creeds into the educa-
ton of our children or into the
government. Our public schools
teach that all religions have
