Highly Critical Audience Watches Opening of Schools Principal Asks For Fund Support E. B. Comer, principal at New port School, has requested the aid of individuals, alumni and civic groups in making the Newport School Endowment Fund grow. The fund was started four years ago, the purpose being to help worthy students finance their col lege education. Mr. Comer reports that one student benefited from the fund two years ago and ano ther this past year. But the fund amounts to only ?lightly more than $200 and there fore is not of substantial help to college students. Persons who would be interested io contributing to the fund, or or ganizations which would consider raising money for the fund are in vited to contact Mr. Comer at the school. There's good news for mothers in (iris' dresses with hems that can be lowered for lengthening without leaving a crease. ? By FRED M. HECHINGER Education Editor, Parents Magazine A highly critical audience is watching the opening of school this fall. It is to be hoped the events of the past year will not blunt their judgment. Following Sputnik, we have heard a great deal about education in the USSR ? school six days a week; and for the ablest students who are not diverted at 14 into the labor reserve and technical schools, ten years of mathematics, four years of physics and four years of chemistry; government scholarships for all talented youth; two and a half times as many en gineers and scientists being grad uated each year as in America. Does this mean that only a blind imitation of the Soviet system with a one-sided emphasis on science and technical education will save the day? Or does it mean that we parents must examine our attitude toward our schools to determine what meaning American education should have. A carefully planned program to educate the scientists and en gineers that our defense forces and industry need so badly Is, of course, vital. But it is even more important that American children should not grow up to be illiterate; that they get a good basic educa tion, which is so essential to our democracy and our economy. We can't have peace, prosperity and progress without an educated citizenry. Even our scientists need to relate their discoveries to man's whole history and to communicate intelligibly with their fellow men. None of this should give edu cators or the American puMic gen erally the comfortable excuse that no changes are needed. While the Soviet program of ed ucation must be avoided, this does not mean that the Russian achieve ment and toughness in demands on the minds of able students should not be taken as a lesson. In the days before World War II, German science and technology were probably as far ahead as the USSR appears to be today. Yet, the stamina and integrity of the minds and hearts of the free world, overcame the handicap. Two New Teachers Join Faculty at Camp Glenn R. W. Davis, principal of Camp Glenn School, has announced the names of two new teachers on his faculty for the 1958-59 term. They are Mrs. Mary Holt Rich ardson, who comes here from Stan hope School, Spring Hope. Mrs. Richardson is a teacher gained due to the increased enrollment last year. She will teach fourth grade. The other new faculty member is Miss Mildred Hamilton, who re places Mrs. Margaret Fulcher as a sixth grade teacher. Other faculty members remain the same. They are John Duncan, Thomas Cordova, Miss Margaret Hall, Miss Helen Collie, Miss Joyce Ann Taylor, Mrs. Patti McKinley. Miss Annie Fleming, Mrs. Ma mie Swain, Mrs. Etta Duke. Mrs. Lallah Williams, Mrs. Mary Brown, Mrs. Cora Russell, Mrs. Vera Freeman. Mrs. Inez Lina, Mrs. Rosalie Davis, Mrs. Betty Sewell, Mrs. Esta Lee Pigott, and Mrs. Sallie Mason. The enrollment at Camp Glenn is expected to be 30 to 40 more than last year. Floors in the school have been refinished over the summer. Mr. Davis also said that the swamp area which has been filled in in front of the school will be sown in grass seed and shrubbery will be planted. He said that the school wanted the place filled in because water was always lying in it, children would get in it, and snakes were also known to inhabit the place. Classroom Interiors At Beaufort Painted All classrooms in Beaufort School have been painted this sum mer and floors cleaned and waxed. Hallways will be painted this win ter. Because tne former band room is now converted to a cafeteria, there is no band room. B. E. Tar kington, principal, said that con sideration is being given to obtain ing a quonset hut as a band room.
