ABUNDANT LIFE
by ORAL RCBERTS
HOW TO MEET LIES STORMS

or a spiritual need, go to Christ
in prayer. When your work
becomes a burden to you, call
upon the Lord. Christ will give
you happiness and strength that
you may enjoy abundant life.
In these testing days, your firm
faith in Gods sustaining power
will give you strength and con-
idence. Although, for the pres
emit, you may be compelled to
bow to the inevitable, you shall
not break.
With Christ in your life, you
can bend with the storms and
problems of life. You need not
break under the strain and load.
With Him as your guide, you can
do all things.
Many people who seek medi-
cal attention today have ailments
brought about or made worse by
prolonged emotional stress = too
much worry, anxiety or tension
They have not learned to bend
with the storms of life.
IF you fnd-that its difficult to
bend with the storms and ten
sions Of life, get down on your
knees and ask God to give you
strength and guidance. He an
swers prayer. You will find the
solutions to what you thought
were Deep unSolvable problems.
God is the answer to all your
needs.
The Lord is our rock; in Him
we hide. He is our shelter in the
time Of storm; in Him we need
not fear. He is our l;gl in dark
ness and our strength for each
day.

cipated more in all organized stu
dent groups except religions and
service activities, earned each
year a higher percentage Of nom
academic honors, had better
orientation to the choice Of voca-
tons, and demonstrated more ac-
tive concerns for what was going
on in the world.
The authors Of the study eonclud-
ed:
Clearly, among the Thirty
Schools, the more experimental
the school, the greater degree Of
success in college. Furthermore,
although students Of high aptitude
seem to have profited most from
experimental education, students
of low aptitude profited al much
from experimental education as
their matches did from conven-
tional schooling"
Does this not seem to suggest
that the academic achievement
Of students in the new programs
is as high as that in the traditional
programs, and that students in
the new programs tend to acquire
additional skills, knowledge, and
interests? Is this not supported by
the opening portion of my talk in
which / observed that our st.
Croix students are much better
prepared in a~variety of ways, and
that, in general, they not only sue
coed, but do well in Institutions
of higher learning; although we
have not yet depressed too far from
the traditional?
People in st. Croix should be-
gin to realize that there is vari-
ance in every group. Just as some
are tall and some are short; and
some are fat and some are thin;
SO are some academically or vo-
cationally of high aptitude, while
some are average, and others are
low. One Of the results of this
truth is that in each graduating
class, some are extremelyapt and
some are not; but all have met
the basic requirements of the
school. Ii you employ the one
having the lowest rank, do not ex-
pect "A" performance ordinarily
expected of the top-ranking stu
dent. However, with guidance &
training, because of the fact that
the basics have been fulfilled,
tina individual may develop into
your best clerk, or electrician, or
auto mechanic, The same anology
holds for the person who enters
higher education. incidentally, our
vocational training is So designed
that upon graduation the individ-
ual should be classified as an Adj
vanced Apprentice; rather than as
a Journeyman. Please let me em
pahsize this. Further, every 1861
vocational graduate who wanted

1 happen to know Of the men
who worked on the famous Eight
Year Study, which was a COM
prehensive investigation of the eff
fectiyeness of traditional and ex-
perimental high school programs.
Without going into the meehan-
les of the study it is worthwhile
to explain that thirty schools were
studied, each with a varying de-
gree of experimental programs
designed to meet the educational
&E
needs Of young people. These high
school curricula ranged from the
slightly experimental to the highly
experimental Thegraduates Of
these schools upon enter
ing college were matched ideally
as possible with an equal number
of students who were graduates
Of traditional high schools, and the
findings were reported by Cham
herlain, Drought, and Scott in
Did They Succeed inCollege?
New York: Harper & Bros. Inc.
1912, PIP. 2O7- 2O9, The significant
findings were:
/. with respect to regular course
work, the experimental grad
yates earned asslightly higher
total grade average, earned
higher grades in all subject
fields except foreign lang
guage, and received more
academic honors each year.
2. with respect to PERSONAL
qualities, the experimental grad
yates were more often judged to
possess a high degree of intellect
ual curiosity and drive; they were
often judged to be precise, sys-
tematic, and objective in their
thinking; and among other things
they more often demonstrated a
high degree of resourcefulness in
meeting new situations. Although
they had the same problems of
adjustment, they approached their
solutions with greater effective
ness.
s. with respect to interests and
activities outside their regular
courses, the experimental grad
yates participated more frequent

Russian Fete
Causes Powell To
Drop Indignation
Amendment

Washington, D. c. April II -
The Russian fete of becoming the
first nation to send a man into
space and bring him back to earth
alive has caused famed Negro
Congressman, Adam Clayton
Powell, Democrat of New York to
drop the now famous Powell
Amendment which he had intend
ed to ad to the Kennedy School
aid Bill.
The addition of the Powell
Amendment which would deny any
federal aid to states having sepa-
rate Negro and White Schools
has been credited with bringing
about the defeat of several school
aid bills presented during past
sessions of Congress.
In view of the new Russian
success, Congressman Powell said
the need for immediate strength
ening of American education was
more urgent than the integration
amendment, and in order not to do
anything to block it's passage he
would not offer his amendment to

federal pressure for increased
school desegregation comes from

tons that even in the Deep South
the alternatives are coming under

A recent statement by a Missis-

the pressure of desegregation
