There is q vast difference be-
tween high school and college
not only in what is taught but
also in how it is taught.
Recently I received this letter
Dear DR.. Mason:
My daughter, a sophomore in
high school, has just completed
plane geometry with a grade of
B. The course was taught al
most like a course in algebra
rather than as logic.
My daughter has looked at
sample college entrance exam
nations and feels that her
background in geometry is not
adequate. Is there anything she
can do at this point?
Mrs. s. j.,
Battle Greek, Mich.
Indeed there isl
Have your daughter get a
copy Of an "old-fashioned" ge-
ometry book from the library
or maybe your old one is still
in the attic.
Have her begin at the very be-
ginning, review definitions, ak
IONS and postulates and re-
study plane geometry as an ex-
erciSe in logical thinking.
With the background she al
ready has in geometry concepts
this process can be completed
faster than you would imagine.
Mote: Recent geometry books
are so cluttered with so-called
Illustrations and applications
that they bury the logic.) >

Dear DR.. Mason:
I dread the summer with my
fourth-grade child constantly
asking, what can I do now?"
What suggestions do you have?
Mrs. j. c., Newark, N. j.
It sounds like you have
smothered your child with
plans. Why not let him decide
on activities of his own?
One mother I know makes the
rule of mo playing with neigh
Dor children until after 10 am"
With non-directed play dur
ing the time Of day before they
are tired, her children are de-
veloping independence Of &C.
ton and are avoiding the habit
of dependence upon others for
planning and making decisions.
Dear DR.. Mason:
I have a boy In the fifth
grade. His teacher says he is
slow. She devotes most Of her
time to the smart children. She
says he will always be slow. Is
this right?
Mrs. J. S., Seymour, Ind.
The teacher may be COM
pletely wrong. A persons speed
is often a matter of habit.
I have known students to
more than double their speed

EDUCATION
FORUM
By BENJAMIN FINE

Question: Would you advise
a 16-year-old student who is
in the 10th grade and is not
always getting passing grades
to stay in school and learn
what he can, or quit and go
to work, and in time go into
the army? Would it be wise to
assume that he would acquire
some knowledge if he stayed
in school, or would he learn
more in the school of hard
knocks? He's had a mental
test and Is not retarded.
Answer: Keep him in school
as long as you can! There are
too many high-school drop
outs at present. One Of every
three students who enter high
school does not remain to grad
uate. Let us hope that your
boy is not among those who
leave before they get their
diploma. But you should, with
the help of your boys guidance
counselor, seek the cause of his
poor school work. If, as you
say, his mental capacity is high
enough to do high school work,
then we must look for other
reasons for his failure.
Discuss Problem
Is he taking courses which
are right for him? Can you
change some of his courses, so
that he will gain more con-
fidence in himself? Are his
home conditions conducive to
proper study habits? These
questions, and many more,
could be answered If you dis
cussed your problem with a
school counselor, or perhaps
some outside professional
agency.
The days when you could
learn through hard knocks"
have just about disappeared.
What with automation, the
space age, jet-propelled planes
and chronological advances, our
Nation and businesses seek men
and women who are trained
adequately and have profess
sional skillS. The boy or girl
without a high school diploma
is the last to be hired, the
first to be fired. There'l be
time enough for your boy to
go to work, or go into the
army. Right now he should be
encouraged to remain in school.
Question: Our son, a high
school freshman, has a high
10, and has been rated as a
boy with superior ability. Until
this year, he was an honor
student. This year he partici-
pated in advanced college
biology and English courses. He
failed miSerably. He plans to
drop the advanced courses next
year, but continue with the
college prep course. Do you
think he can eventually sue
coed or would he be wiser to
take a general course?
Adjusting to Pressures
Answer: BY all means, let
him continue with his academic
program. leading toward COL
lege. Just because he failed in
the advanced course is no indi-
cation that he will not be able
to handle a college program.
Not everyone adjusts readily to
the preSsureS and extra work
of advanced courses. Some
youngsters react as yours did:
They get discouraged and drop
out. But don't let this reaction
discourage you, or your boy, in
the ultimate goal: That of en-
tering a good college.
Why does a bright lad with
a high 10, fail when confronted
with a difficult program? It's
hard to pinpoint an answer.
But it is not difficult to see
that your boy must have his
confidence restored. Perhaps

sOMERS POINT, N. j.
One advantage Of the southern
New Jersey resorts is their prox-
unity to an important historic
area. Both the ground and the
waters around the area were
important to the early days of
the Nation.
Vacationists looking for mu-
seums to give some background
on our country's history US
ually eye the metropolitan Cit
les and often overlook the
small museums where much
can be learned.
3 One such small museum, the
Somers Mansion, is located
here. 1t is a State-owned his
toric site and headquarters for
the Atlantic County Historical
Society.
Erected by Richard Somers, I,
around 1720-1730, it stands at
the corner Of Mays Landing and
Shore roads. 1t is easy to reach
from all the seashore resorts
by driving to either Ocean City
or Longport (south of Atlantic
City at the other end of Abse-
con Island and then across
the meadows for about seven
miles.

The statement said: South

Asked if he felt it would be
inappropriate to comment now,
Gov. Ellington told q reporter:

However, Gov. Price Daniel
of Texas said en- route to the
conference that he doubted the
Governors, as a group, would
take any formal position on
Mississippi's integration crisis.
Proposal Rebuffed

ATLANTA, Sept. 20 (AP)-
Mississippi colleges and uni

accreditation because of Gov.
Ross Barnett's interference with
administration of the Uni

A stern warning came from

Following a closed session
