Teacher Speaks

AS a teacher, I am dismayed
at the attack on the schools
by the newly-elected majority
members evidenced at the No
vember 18th school board
meeting.
The ungraded school, along
with other research programs,
professional growth of teach
ers, curriculums developed by
teachers and administrators
working together, and freedom
to use a variety of methods
and textbooks, are not ideas
that have been foisted on us
by a dictatorial administra-
ton. They have been a direct
outgrowth of the search teach
ers continually make for i'm.
provement of education in this
country. Elementary teachers,
in particular, have been watch
ing the ungraded school with
great interest and wishing it
well. It holds the promise of a
better system which to teach
individuals. AS teachers, we
know that regardless of how
children are taught, they learn
as individuals. Master teach
ers are those who work to
meet individual needs in the
development of skills and in
the building of understand
ings.
Monday night l watched a
spectacle brought about by a
school board member who had
worked undercover to under.

dubious kind of action may be
the prerogative of a school
board member, as a fellow ma

it is demoralizing to the school
staff and destructive to the

From This Angle
The Price Of Ex+remism

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was elected
President of the United States by the people
of the United States in accordance with pres
cribed procedures He was not the President
of the Democrats or the President of the Re-
publicans He was the President of all
Americans.
One man. or one man representing the
feeling of a group, didn't like the President
of the United States, my President and yours,
so he cut him down with high-powered rifle.
This assassin was not satisfied with the single
ballot that our political system gave to him so
he overthrow our President with bullet.
At this writing the prime suspect is
reported to be a former defector to the Com
munists and member of some organization
purporting to be friend of Cuba. The type
of extremism that was embraced by this muir
derer is only one of many that might be
embraced. The important point for Americans
the ultimate result of extremism.
Extremists don't ask questions and seek
answers. They have answers handed down
to them in accord with some party line. Most
of them sound like parrots when they speak
on almost any issue They work on the emo.

impugn the integrity, the loyalty, and the

How to Take
Care of Your
School Books

Whether you have a few
shelves of favorite books, or a
row of handy school texts, with
some, understanding, a little eff
fort, and less expense, you can
improve and extend the lives
of your books.
The proper way to open a
new book is to set it ON its
spine, fore edges UP and me-
thodically open front and back
covers. Run yodr thumb down
both inside margins, repeating
this a few pages at a time until
you reach the center of the
book. DON'T grab a new book
and open it at two or three ran
dom places, bending the covers
back until you hear things
stretch and pop.
Shelves should be filled with
enough room SO that your hand
can fit between the volumes
and you need not pull a book
by it's back. BookendS should
be used as supports ON partial
ly filled shelves to keep the
volumes standing upright, since
bindings are damaged If books
lean to one side.
Cloth-bound books benefit
from slip jackets which pro-
tect them from Sun-fading,
dust and general wear and
tear. The original jacket can
be made more durable by re-
inforcing it before it begins
to wear with strips of invisible
mending tape placed across
the back and along edges ON
the wrong side.
Books which need repair
be attended to while
damages are still slight. Torn
pages can be mended almost
by a recently develop
ed invisible permanent mend
ing tape which is made of
thin acetate with a
non-reflective surface. This
unique finish permits the tape
TO be written on and seems to
disappear when applied to
oaper and other surfaces.
Small holes in pages can be
nended by covering each side
With a strip of invisible mend
ng tape. Print in the missing
Creased pages and folded
orners can be re1uvenated by
lampening the page and press
ng it between blotter sheets
Or a few hours.
