Extra-Curricular AciiTMn—
How Many Axa Enough? i
From grade through high
school, opportunity exists for a
youngster to participate in at
least 100 or more clubs and ac
tivities aside from his
classroom work.
Educators call these participa
tions extra-curricular activities,
because they’re in addition to
required courses of study.
Schools sponsor most the
activities, which include fcom
petitive athletics, student coun
cil, newspaper, dramatics, cheer
leading, band and numerous
others.
Supplementing these are many
community-sponsored activities,
such as Girl and Boy Scouts,
4-H Clubs, music and art groups,
garden clubs, and
church organizations, just to
mention a few.
The rich and varied offerings
pose continuous temptations to
alert youngsters craving- to do
many things and move among
many peers, according to Dr.
Ben H. Horton, education de
partment head at Appalachian
State Teachers College, Boone,
N. C. And, it seems, they come
by the tendency naturally, says
Dr. Horton, the American has
been called the “doingest and
joiningest” breed on earth.
Still, students, even with wide
interest an 4 capabilities, can
spread themselves too thinly,
critics of extra-curricular activi
ties point out. So can parents
with numerous civic, fraternal,
social and church activities
available to them.
What, then, is the slice-off
point? Or is there one? •
Obviously, no clear-cut answer
can be given—much depends on
the individual, his desires, needs,
abilities, motivation and even
the purpose of the school he at
tends, the Appalachan professor
points out.
Dr. Horton says that practical
ly all educators like Dr. Mc-
Kown of Illinois, a national au
thority on the subject and' edi
tor of SCHOOL ACTIVITIES,
strongly advocate extra-curricu
lar participations, especially in
high school.
Dr. McKown sees activities as
.he key to one of the main goals
of the high school—“citizenship.”
Activities relative to student
council, newspaper, assembly,
athletics, safety projects, drives
and campaigns, and as officers,
committeemen and members help
to promote the general welfare
of the school.
“All these,” says Dr. McKown,
“represent actual citizenship in
natural and vital settings.”
A student, however, can’t be
promoted or graduated merely
.on his extra-curricular partici
pations. So a definite cut-off
for the activities would bd at
the point where they begin to
handicap progress Os the.ptipil’s
regular studies, says Dr. Mc-
Kown.
But what about the < *A‘* stu
dent who makes B’s because of
his activity participations? To
this. Dr. McKown says that the
relative value, of “A training
minus activities” as compared
to “B training plus activities"
must be judged.
It could be that a B grade
with activity experiences in, say,
a radio club may do a student
more, good than making an A.
For another youngster, however,
what he learns in lassoing an
A may benefit him more than
the activity.

; To emphasize, Dr. McKown
advises that “there can never
be a rigid rule which will ap
ply equally to all students be
cause no two of them are alike.
What is "enough” on “not
enough” for one—due to abili
ties and potentialities—may be
“too much” for another.
Generally speaking though,
Dr. McKown would say that
“enough” can be determined by
how well extra-curricular activi
ties help a student discover, de
velop and capitalize his abilities
and potentialities.
And who should be the judge?
The student—his friends his
parents—his teachers his ac
tivity sponsors school admini-
I strators?
“All of their judgments taken
(together and intelligently equat
t ed on the basis of their experi
; ences . . . will help to arrive
j at a justifiable answer,” advises
Dr. McKown, “but no one of
I them alone is competent to give
the final answer.”

Once upon a time this started
| out to be a column concerned
| with music, radio and allied
[fields. In my usual incompar
able manner, I’ve generally gone
I far afield. Just for a switch,
back to the subject of music
and, specifically, one of my fav
orite kinds of music, New Or
leans jazz, regarded by many as
this country’s most distinctive
contribution to music. The sad
truth is, that this type of music
is slowly dying out. Those folks
who still derive much joy from
this kind of music, those folks
who’ve grown up with it, dread
the day when it shall be no
more. New Orleans jazz, a most
infectious music, comes from the
souls of the musicians. In my
private collection of over 2,000
records are many New Orleans
' ( jazz collectors’ items, including*
, records by such all-time greats
as the late trumpeter, Bunk
Johnson, who once said: “Play
ing music is like talking from
the heart. You don’t lie.”
What’s left of the originating
points of New Orleans jazz?
Memories. The riverboats are
gone, the lawn parties and all
the social events that featured
New Orleans jazz are also gone.
Only the funeral parade tradi
tion survives. That story, by it
self, could constitute a separate
article. Briefly, members of the
funeral would head towards the
burial grounds playing appro
priate hymns then would head
back playing such now-familiar
items as “When the Saints Go
Marching In.” Hie exact ori
gin of these marching bands is
not too well known. Some say
that the Negroes of New Or
leans got the idea from watch
ing white immigrant residents
bury their dead with music.
The custom isn’t limited to any
single country, but in New Or
leans the music took on the fla
vor that was one day to become
jazz. And the sound of old
time New Orleans jazz is dis
tinctive enough to make similar
music pale by comparison. Any
way, one of the biggest funeral
parades took place just a few
months ago, when jazzman Isa
dora Barbarin died. The crowd

‘included barefooted shoeshine
boys, women holding parasols, a
grocery delivery boy and an old
man who tossed away his cane. 1
Down the street they shuffled,
pranced, jigged and clapped
their hands. The 10-piece Eureka,
brgss band opened with “When
the Saints Go Marching In.” j
Then it followed with “Bourban
St Parade,” “Down In Hohky
Tonk Town,” and "Panama
Rag.”
New Orleans jazz music is ele
mental, heartfelt, irresistible to
those who really give it a
chance. The trumpet plays one
thing, the trombone another.
While the various instruments
never get together, somehow
they manage to blend into a
marvelous counterpoint.
While New Orleans jazz has
yielded to swing, modern jazz
and rock ’n roll, it still lingers
in the fingers and on the lips
of a few old Negro musicians
in New Orleans. But in another
generation it probably will be
unknown. As the famed 60-
year-old clarinetist, George Lew
is puts it: “After us, there’s no
more. The young musicians
can’t play jazz.” I«wis distin-i
I guished New Orleans jazz from •
Dixieland and more modern j
forms, this way: “We improvise
and we don’t solo. The other
bands, they solo and some of
them rehearse. They play the
same thing over and over. I
have different recordings of the
same tune made by us. They’re
different, with no two alike.
That’s real New Orleans jazz.”
Closing thought: A state is
a perfect body of free men, unit- 1
ed together to enjoy common |
rights and advantages.

Sunday School Lesson
FACING MY SIN
International Sunday School
Lesson for November 6, 1960.
Memory Selection: “If we con-1
fess our sins, he is faithful and]
just, and will forgive our sins,
and cleanse us from all un
righteousness.” (I John 1:9).
Lesson Text: Psalms 32; 51.
The purpose of our study to-!
day is to show the nature of sin
and to point out some ways in
which God’s grace can help us
overcome it.
Psalm 32 has as its purpose
the telling of the blessings that
follow confession of sin and the
experience of divine forgiveness.
In Psalm 51 David prays for the
remission of sins, and for sanc
tification. Together they are a
peon of glory to God, and an'
acknowledge of human frailties.
Sin is everybody’s problem.
We are too prone to recognize
it on a personal basis as our
neighbor’s concern —or on an in
ternational basis—again as our
neighbor’s concern. But it is
also our problem —a matter
which is strictly personal. “If
we say we have no sin,” writes
John, “we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us.” (I John
1:8).
Not only that, but sin is our

most serious problem. Sin is a
sickness of the soul; if it is al
lowed to go unchecked, it brings
death. God’s declared purpose
for us is health and well-being
of both body and spirit. “I
came,” said Jesus, “that they
may have life, and have it
abundantly.” (John 10:10).
Paul spoke truly when he said,
“The wages of sin is death.”
He was referring to the death
of the soul, rather than to that
|of the body, the mortal shell.
For sin destroys the inner man
and all we are capable of be-
I coming, under God. But we
i have a Healer for our sicknesses
' —a Divine Healer, in the person
of God. We must remember,
nevertheless, that although the
real triumph comes from God,
certain action is first required
of us.
Victory over sin begins with
t remorse for our wrongdoing. As
long as we are content with sin,
it has complete and utter pow
er over us. A student will cheat
sa long as he is satisfied with
I cheating. A thief will steal as
long as he is content with steal
j ing.
i The odd part about it is that
I we are willing to live with sin,
for a very curious reason. It
seems to have a hypnotic effect
upon us. The more we are in

CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
efrth.dor the huilding of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spidtt(al values- Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend services
regularly and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his
children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) For the sake
of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
daily.

I call Bruce my combination angel-terror.
Soon he will be four, and he is a fascinating
mixture of mischief and goodness.
At bedtime, I always tiptoe into his room to
be sure he’s covered. Then it is that I am struck
by the innocence of his face in sleep. Then it is
that I realize how helpless is this small dynamo,
who plunges with such boundless energy about
our house and yard all day. Then it is that I am
struck by the awesomeness of my responsibility.
I realize it is entirely up to me to see that
Bruce learns right from wrong, to see that he
grows into the sort of man who will be a credit
to his family, his community, and his country.
I must teach him to keep a steady heart and a
level head, to resist the many temptations that
will be strewn in his path, to hold honor and
truth and integrity high.
When I think of my task. I send a small and
special prayer to God to aid me. And I thank
God for his Church on earth which, for years to
come, will be helping me, again and again, in
making my small mischief into a man.
