Strong motivaters behind youth's desires and ambitions. A logical answer comes from Dr. Roy R. Blanton Jr., principal of the laboratory Appalachian Iligh School on the campus of Ap palachian State Teachers College, Boone, N. C. He recommends all three? the parents, principal and Junior? making the dicislon together in "B?ch poiiwm special infor maboo the other doeea't have," My* Dr. Blanton. "Pooling It to gether aj a team enable* the con struction at a realistic course of study which ia bMt for Junior " The parent neglecting to come together with the principal and hi* child doe* the youngster an injustice, the eighteen-year veter an educator warns. Just what subjects Junior se lects should be determined large ly by the vocation he wishes to enter. Dr. Blanton advises. Care ful analysis by the team Is es pecially necessary to estimate Junior's ability to succeed in hi* chosen pursuit. If the vocation calls for college education. Junior must take cer tain courses to meet college en trance requirements such as a language, which many students prefer detouring. Schoolmen ac quaint themselves with college and university requirements. If the team decides it's best for Junior to end bis formal educa tion at high school graduation, a variety of courses should be se lected to famaliarize him with the world in which he lives and pre pare him for responsibilities of a democracy. The average high school offers several vocational courses . In these Junior may learn a worth while occupation. Most school curriculums carry business sub jects such as typing and short hand. Some offer auto mechanics, carpentry and agriculture. And for the high schooler unde cided about his future, a gener al course of study is a good bet, states Dr. Blanton. It exposes him to many fields, one of which could key bim to a calling of his liking Many U.

The 1959 Agricultural Conservation Program also contains practices providing for the application of liming materials on farmland, contour atripcropping and forest tree planting, and several others. To help farmers use the pro gram to the beat advantage, elect ed farmer-committeemen are available in every farming com munity. Ratcliff urges all farm ers to use these men in analyzing the conservation needs on their farm. "Conservation can be the salvation of farmers in their time of need," he said. "They should all go by their local ASC office, dis cuss their conservation needs with the personnel there and, if their needs can be met through the pro gram, they should sign the neces sary papers on that visit."
