[ SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD
*T John Corey, Appalachian State Taachan Collage
So your child’s teacher is a
lemon?
What can you do about it?
There’re many things, but in
forming the teacher of her
shortcomings or demanding , an
other instructor certainly isn’t
the immediate answer declares
Professor Cratis Williams, dean
of graduate studies, Appalach
ian State Teachers College,
Boone, N. C.
First, ascertain for sure if the
teacher isn’t up to par. And
. don’t depend entirely upon Jun
ior’s judgment, advises 'Dean
Williams.
Remember, every child meets
a variety of teachers, some of
whom he likes, some he dislikes.
Often there’ll be a personality
clash so that one child gets
along poorly with a schoolmarm
while another gets along well,
adds Dr. Robert J. Havighurst,
famous University of Chicago
education professor and writer.
The child that doesn’t get
along “must learn to put up
with such a teacher unless the
conflict between the two is so
great that everyone agrees there
should be a change,” states Dr.
Havighurst.
Teachers form a part of re
ality to which children must ad
just, according to Professor
Havighurst. He remembers a
sensitive and spoiled eight-year
old who came home at noon in,
tears because “The teacher’s 1
voice hurts my ears.”
The mother gave the boy a
hot bath, put him to bed and
then took the lad out of school
and tutored him herself.
This probably was a mistake,
Havighurst thinks. The mother
should have sympathized With
the youth but at the same time
acquainted him with the fact
of .life that boys must learn
to get along with people—even
"'those with unpleasant voices—
and sent him back to school.
Occasionally, there’s a situa
tion where a teacher is bad for
nearly all children, admits Dr.
Havighurst. In this case, par
ents can do little other than to
complain to the principal or su
perintendent so that the teacher
will either be removed or under
take a basic change in her per
sonality.
A husky, aggressive woman
teacher punished a class ofnsth
graders to the point that even
Conservation, A
Farm Program
Is conservation of our agri
cultural resources the concern
of the farmer alone? According
to H. D. Godfrey, Administra
tive Officer for the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
State Committee, you. could
"fobout as truthfully say that our
military or missile program is
just for the soldiers or just for
the scientists, as 40. say that
ASC’s cofeervdtron'TW%gratn? s '
just for the farmer.
When a farmer sig*s to par
ticipate in the Agricultural Con
servation Program, he indicates
that he is going to help build a
better farm for himself and a
better land for all people.
This participation is a recog
nition of his responsibility to
help protect the nation’s soil
and water resources. It also
signifies that he is cooperating
with other farmers in the pro
gram and that all of them are
working with all the people of,
the country to keep our soil,
from washing away and to keep

the toughest little boys were
afraid of her, the professor re
calls.
After becoming progressively :
worse for three years, the wo-,
man was finally dismissed. She
then took a department store
position, winding up a success
and a more pleasant person, says
Dr. Havighurst.
Suppose, however, a child is
under a teacher who all, includ
ing school officials, agree is un
acceptable. But a qualified re
placement can’t be found be
cause of low salaries.
In this situation, and it’s a
common one in many areas of ■
the nation, parents must be
satisfied with the teaching per
sonnel their salaries bring in or
else up the local pay scale that’ll
attract better teachers, explains
Appalachian’s Dean Williams in
cold logic.
In the meantime, however,
Junior’s still in the lemon teach
er’s class. What can be done?
Williams says this:
Giving the instructor a piece
of your mind seldom helps.
Neither does it do any good
to let Junior know there’s a
clash between home and school.
Probably the best thing is to
visit the teacher and inquire in
a friendly manner how you can
help Junior improve his school
; work. Inoffensively mention that
, the boy doesn’t appear to be
working up to his usual capacity.
This indirect hint and your dis
play of interest in the class may
clue the teacher to her own
shortcoming and motivate her to
adjust.
Still, Dean Williams summariz
es, there’s no substitute for a
good teacher. If you love your
child and care for .America’s fu
ture begin this minute exert
ing every effort and influence
toward making teaching a pro
fession with the means of ac
cepting only top-drawer per
sons.
“Then Junior won’t have to
be soured by lemon teachers,”
j concludes the Appalachian grad
uate studies dean.

it productive. Farmers who use
the ACP to help build a strong
er agriculture through conser
vation are the farmers who are
helping to provide a better liv
■ ing for all the people of the
country.
! Since the beginning of the
ASC Program in 1936, says God
frey, agricultural production and
food consumption have been
steadily climbing. The per capi
ta consumption of food is now
more than 20 per cent above the
iAt the same time our popula
tion has been increasing at a
net rate of seven thousand per
day. The farmers who have
been carrying out conservation
practices under the ACP have
been helping to make it possi
ble to feed this increasing pop- J
ulation and at the same time i
to raise their standard of liv-l
ing. i
So much depends on agricul
ture that the nation cannot af
ford to allow farmers to waste
the soil and water resources of
the country. Many nations re
quire certain conservation prac
tices by land owners; but in the
United States, the Nation coop
erates with its farmers by shar
ing the cost of needed soil and!
water saving practices.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Man’s real, satisfying identity
will be emphasized at Christian
Science churches Sunday in the
Lesson-Sermon on “Soul and
Body.”
Scriptural selections will in
clude this verse: “I will praise
thee; for I am fearfully and won
derfully made: marvellous are
thy works; and that my soul
knoweth right well” (Psalms
139:14).
To be read from “Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy is
the following (302:3-8): “The ma
terial body and mind are tem
poral, but the real man is spirit
ual and eternal. The identity of
the real man is not lost, but
found through this explanation;
for the conscious infinitude of
existence and of all identity is
[thereby discerned and remains
! unchanged.”
Is it not strange that desire
should so many years outlive
performance?
—Shakespeare.

Sunday School Lesson
THANKS BE TO GOD ,
International Sunday School
Lesson for November 20, 1960. j
Memory Selection: “Bless the [
Lord, O my soul; and all that,
is within me, bless his holy[
name! Bless the Lord, O my (
soul, and forget not all his bene
fits.” (Psalms 103:1-2).
Lesson Text: Psalms 96; 103
Today we consider the import
ance of learning to say “Thank
you,” especially to God.
Psalm 103, which we are
studying today, is a pean of
thanksgiving to God for all his
goodness to us. It is, indeed,
one of the noblest of all the
Psalms. Its witness *o the truth
that “God is love” is unsurpassed
in the Old Testament. As we
read its verses, who among us
can fail to be moved by its
charity, the beauty of its cad
ences?
“Thanks” is such a little word
—it is but one syllable, in fact.
But how great is its scope! And
how neglected!
The New Testament tells of
men who came to Jesus in the
death grip of a dread disease,
and whom he sent into life heal
ed and whole again. Only one
returned to say thanks! How

difficult it seems to learn to
say “thanks!” It is as if we
are afraid that, by being gra
cious, we are parting with
something of ourseives, and
against that we rebel!
But gratitude is a virtue we
should cultivate. To give thanks
is a just debt we owe to oth
ers. Although it is the least we
can do, it means much to them.
Our gratitude strengthens their
faith in God and man, encour
ages them in virtue, guards
against their becoming weary in
well-doing, and gives them a
sense of worth and joy that is
beyond the price of rubies.
The practice of gratitude is
helpful to us, too, as individ
uals. Only those who remember
to give thanks fully enjoy their
blessings.
As we look around us, it is
easy to see the grateful people
in this world. And if our eyes
i are truly perceptive we will no
tice a strange phenomena.
All too often the people who
fail to give thanks for their
blessings are the very ones who
have the most to be thankful
for. A beautiful home, wealth,
position, a life that is full of
ease, with none of the tensions
of poverty, no risk of the dread
diseases that poverty so often
trails in its wake. And these

Yes, faces are different the world over. But
hearts have a common hunger. For Hope . . .
Life . . . Truth. ,
Therefore, expressing the fervor of the citi
zens and churches of this brave, free land, the
American Bible Society has sought for 144 years
to translate and distribute the Scriptures for
every nation and tribe.
Many local congregations, directly or through
their denominations, are supporting this vital
work. In addition, the suggested readings which
appear regularly in these advertisements are pro
vided by the American Bible Society, and reach
you as another contribution of American citizens
and churches to this important cause.
You see, worldwide Bible reading is the
simple, practical expression of one of our fun
damental convictions: The Bible IS the Book for
Everyone.
Tonight—at the dinner table or in a quiet mo
ment—millions of American homes will put that
conviction into earnest, reverent, daily practice!
Will yours?

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual 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: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his
childrens 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. Flan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
daily.
