Glenn Louds Team
In Talk to Congress

Follo1Ding is the tert OF
Col. John H. Glenn'S speech
before today's joint meeting,
of Congress-:
Mr.. Speaker. Mr.. President,
members of the Congress Of
the United States.
I am aware of the tremen-
dous honor being shown us by
this joint session of the Con-
gresS today. When I think of
past sessions that involved
heads of state and equally no.
table persons, I can only say
] am most humble to know
that you consider our efforts
to be in the same class.
This has been a great expert
ence for us all and I am glad
to see that pride in our coun-
try and its accomplishments
are not a thing of the past.
I still get a hard-to define
feeling inside when the flag
goes by and I know you do, too.
Today, as I rode up Pennsyl-
vania avenue from the White
House and saw the tremendous
outpouring of feeling on the
part of so many thousands of
people, I got that same feeling.
Let us hope that none of us
ever loses that feeling.
Praises Thousands
The flight of Friendship 7
on February 20 involved much
more than one man in the
spacecraft in orbit.
There was, of course, the vi
sion of the Congress that estab-
lished this national program
of space exploration.
Beyond that, many thou
sands of people were involved.
Civilian contractors and sub
contractors in many different
fields; many elements, civilian,
civil service and military. all
blending their efforts toward a
common goal.
To even attempt to give
proper credit to all the individ-
uals on this team effort would
be impossible. But let me say
that I have never seen a more
sincere. dedicated, and hard
working group of people.
From the original vision of
the Congress to consummation
of this orbital flight has been
just over three years.
Notes Dedication
This, in itself, states elo-
quently the case for the hard
work and devotion of the en-
tire Mercury team. This has
not been just another job. 1t
has been a dedicated labor
such as I have not seen before.
1t has involved cross-cut of
American endeavor with many
different disciplines co-operat-
ing toward a common objective
Friendship 7 is just a begin
ning-a successful experiment.
1t is another plateau in our
step-by-step program of in
creasingly ambitious flights.
The earlier flights of Alan
Shepard and Gus Grisson were
stepping stones toward Friend
ship 7. My flight in the Friend
ship Z spacecraft will, in turn,
provide additional information
for us in striving toward future
flights.
These are the building blocks
upon which we shall build
much more ambitious and more
productive portions of the pro-
gram.
AS was to be expected, not
everything worked perfectly on
my flight. We may we'll need
to make changes-and these
will be tried out on subsequent
three-orbit flights, later this
year, to be followed by 49,
orbit, 24-hour flights.
Beyond that, we look forward
to Project Gemini-a two-man
orbital vehicle with greatly
increased capability for ad-
vanced experiments. There will
be additional rendezvous ex-
periments in space. Technical
and scientific observations -
then, Apollo orbital, circum-
lunar and finally, lunar-landing
flights.

The term "self-reliance"
means Just what it says-re-
lance on ones self.
Many school children fail to
live up to their potential be-
cause they lack this ability to
do things on their own.
That is the problem that
confronts Mrs. J. F. of Hills
borough, Calf. She writes:
Dear DR.. Mason:
Our 9-year-old son in the
fourth grade has great poten-
tial. He will do anything for
me if I demand it, including
writing highly original verse.
But he does it under protest and
it stops there.
I would like to develop self
reliance in this child-but am
at a loss as to how!
The pattern is the same out
side of school, he completes
nothing that he starts.
Mrs. j. F.
BY doing things at your in
sistence and to please you, your
son gets no practice in relying
upon himself.
I suggest you discuss this
matter with him in a calm and
serious manner. Let him talk
about the problem and let him
suggest a solution, or at least
a small beginning.
Once he decides to start and
complete one project under his
own steam, you have made a
beginning.

Louisiana Integrotion
Plan Wins Acceptance

bi-racial school districts start
ing with two grades in Septem-
Der 1868, and continuing with
one additional grade each year
thereafter. The appeals courts
schedule called for elimination
of bi-racial districts in two
grades in September 1858, in
five grades in September 1864,
and in one additional grade in
each year after that.
Appeals court approval is
necessary before the transi-
tionary plan can go into effect.
The school board asked the
appeals court to modify its de-
segregation orders and approve
the school boards plans.
Court Approval Needed
Board President Theodore
Shepard, jr., said Negro attor-
neys and Judge Ellis accepted
the plan for the 1923 school
year with only minor changes.
Of the 233 Negroes who ap-
piled to white or former white
first grades last spring. two
were rejected because their ap-
plications were not in order.
OF the others, lis were ad-
mitted and the application Of
the other 116 was left unde-
cided pending approval of the
boards decision to convert the
three schools into Negro
schools.
The board plan adopted last
Monday was its first attempt
to draw up its own desegrega-
ton plan. Previously, deSegre-
cation had been under plans
ordered by the Federal courts.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25
(AP). - The Orleans Parish
County School Board said to-
day that Negro plaintiffs and
United States Dist. Judge
Frank B. Ellis have agreed to
the boards school desegrega-
ton plan for the 1962-63 year
Under the plan, the board
would admit 1877 Negroes to 81
desegregated public schools
September 6. Last year, IL Ne
groes attended six former white
public schools under a token
desegregation plan started in
November, 1860.
The board made the an
nouncement as it asked the
5th United States Circuit Court
of Appeals for a rehearing on
its August 6 desegregation or
der. which went beyond earlier
orders by Judge Ellis and the
boards plan adopted last Mon
day.
Three Major Differences
There are three major diff
ferences between the boards
plan and the appeals courts
directive:
l. The appeals court directed
transfers be permitted Negroes
in second and third grades
during the 1962-63 school year.
Under the school board plan,
the only desegregated Negroes
in those grades would be the IL
who attended former white
school last year.
2. The appeals court said
none of the IL Negroes, nor the
233 Negroes who applied this
year to white first grades,
could be resegregated without
their permission. The board
said the II could transfer after
three formerly white schools
we're made Negro schools next
month, but did not grant the
same privilege to the 116 Ne
groes who had applied to those
schools.

EDUCATION
FORUM
BY BENJAMIN FINE

Question: Should I offer re-
ward or punishment to increase
by children's enthusiasm in
school?
Answer: Rewards, by all
means. 1t has been fairly well
established that children Cor
adults for that matter do bet
ter If they are praised rather
than criticized, If they are re-
warded rather than punished.
Prof. B. F. Skinner, famous
Harvard psychologist. has
shown in his series of expert
ments with pigeons that the
learning process is improved
through rewards. Experiments
with school children have
shown, time and again. that
youngsters respond better to
praise than to criticism.
The rewards do not have to
be tangible. I am opposed, for
example, to bribery" as a form
of rewards. I would not recon-
mend that you give your child
a dollar for every A that she
receives on her report card.
Silly as this may seem, some
parents write to me that they
do just that. 1t is not neces-
sary to give children money or
similar types of rewards.
However, you can reward
your children in much better
ways. Praise is a mighty good
way to start rewarding any
child. If your child does well
in school, praise him Cor herr .
Take an interest in his school
work and show that you are
pleased at the progress being
made. If you show an enthu-
siasm in the work your child is
doing, that spirit is liable to
rub off on your children.
| 1t has been found that homes
that take an active interest in
their youngsters school prog
ress develop better attitudes on
the part Of the children. This
is particularly true when your
children grow up and are ready
for college. If they are properly
motovated-that is, rewarded
they are more likely to attend
college than children from
homes that take a negative at
titude (punishment) toward
learning.
Question: In view of your
statement that the majority of
students do not decide on their
future careers until they enter
college, while many do not
know what they want even
after they finish college, how
much Importance, if any, do
you attach to aptitude tests
and vocational guidance in the
case of young children?
Answer: Despite the inability
of high school or college stu
dents to make up their minds
what they want to be when
they grow up, I believe that ap-
titude tests and vocational
guidance are important. How
ever, these tests. no matter now
reliable they may be land that
