SCHOOL AMD YOUR CHILD By John Corey, Appalachian State Teachers College The Junior‘High Schooler How good is the junior high -chool in your community? A yardstick for measuring .schooling offered the baffling /th,' Bth and 9th graders comes from former Harvard President James B. Conant in RECOM MENDATIONS FOR EDUCA ;;ON IN THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS (Educational Jesting Service; 50c). Dr. Conant’s sound advice, di ected to school boards, general / reflects what educators, who mow their trade, have advocat ;d all along, says John T. How 'll, principal of the elementary ind junior high school on the rampus of Appalachian State Teachers College, Boone, N. C. It pleases Howell that an out sider has spelled out not only what’s wrong with education but how and what’s needed to im prove it. Here’s some Conant junior high specifications, which the distinguished and public-respect ed American describes as “pur posely conservative.” How does your junior high measure Up to his conservatism? —Science should be full-time subject starting in the 7th grade. Approves beginning biology in 9th grade (usually taught in 10th) if lab facilities are avail able. —Foreign language should start in 7th grade for “some, if not all, pupils.” Thumbs down introducing foreign language in elementary grades unless “com munity demands it.” —Art, music and physical ed ucation for all boys and girls. I Home economics for all girls and industrial arts for all boys. In communities where youngsters quit school early, vocational skills should be pushed. —English for all pupils, mak ing sure that each child can read at 6th grade leyel to en able him to comprehend the front page of ,a newspaper at about 200 Words a minute. Minutes Os County Board Os Education i —,— /> December 5, ISHiO 1 The Chowan County Board of Education held its regular meet ing December 5, at 10:00 o’clock A. M., with the following mem bers present: Mrs. F. A. Ward,: Eugene Jordan, Sherlon Layton, Garland Asbell and G. B. Potter. The meeting was called to or dert'by the chairman, Mr. Pot ter, with the secretary read the minutes of the previous meet ing. The minutes were adopted by. a motion made by Mr. Lay ton, seconded by Mr. Asbell and duly carried. The local school fund treas urer’s reports and the county ac countant’s report for November were received and adopted by a motion made by. Mr. .Layton, sec onded by Mr. Asbell and duly carried. The report of the Division of Insurance was presented. The report for appraised values was accepted, except for the grand stand and fence. A motion was made by Mr. Jordan, seconded by Mr. Asbell that the grand stand and fence be appraised for SI,OOO instead of SSOO was duly carried. The Grand Jury’s report for November was received, and that part pertaining to schools, noted. Motion was made by Mr. Lay ton, seconded by Mr. Jordan that the report be adopted, wias duly I carried. j Other items were discussed,’ such as size of the Chowan High j Good Reading |or the Whole Family the Christian Science Monitor —'Arithmetic for 7th and Bth graders. Algebra for brightest in Bth grade. —Homework, the “meaningful” type, in one hour dose a day for 7th graders and two hours for 9th graders. —Repeating grades is sound up to two years to assure mas tery of skills. But no youngster should repeat more than twice in the first eight years because of “social and psychological problems involved with over-age pupils.” —Grouping in “three groups in academic courses with the bulk of the pupils in a particular grade in a large middle group.” Prefers grouping subject by sub-, ject. —Teachers should be tops be cause of the difficult pupils they instruct. Understanding and pa tience especially needed for youngsters undergoing transition from child to adult. The junior high should certainly “be no training ground for senior high teachers.” —There should be an average of one teacher per 20 students. One guidance and testing spe cialist for every 250-300 students in grades 7 and 8. —And the junior high should be no “replica of the senior high school with its attendant social pressures.” Conant frowns on marching bands, big-time foot ball and showy commencements. Dr. Conant’s yardstick for measuring the junior high re flects his study of 237 schools visited in 23 states. He con cludes: “I am well aware that some of the recommendations may re quire additional expenditure of funds. Guidance personnel, for eign language teachers in grade 7, 50 professionals for 1,000 pu pils—these cost money. School boards in many communities should make it plain to the people that more money is need ed if better schools are to re sult.” i School lunchroom, noted in the ! Grand Jury’s recommendation, covered walkways to lunchroom and Agriculture Building. The bills paid during Novem ber were read and approved by a motion by Mrs. Ward and sec onded by Mr. Asbell, duly car ried: Current Expense $2,805.93 j Capital Outlay—NDEA.... 1,153.34. Teacherage 36.00 Vet. Depreciation 74.11 Total $4,071.38 There being no further busi ness, the Board adjourned. G. B. POTTER, Chairman W. J.

Bankers Again Win National Award The diversified farm program conducted by North Carolina’s bankers has again won for them a top national award. The. county key banker for Chowan County; Richard S. At kinston, Jr., vice president Peo ples Bank & Trust Company, Edenton, N. C., has been ad vised that the N. C. Bankers Association has won —for the 16th consecutive year the an nual Agricultural Award present ed by the American Bankers As sociation to the state association With the best record for farm service. Bankers of this State spend more money and time on their farm program than on any oth er single association activity. At 1 least 500 bankers participated actively as committee members last year ip conducting the vari ous farm projects sponsored by the NCBA. The projects include a short course in modern farming, at tended by about 150 young farm ers; a two-day farm credit con ference attended by hundreds of bankers and farm leaders; a land judging meet in which nearly 20,000 FFA members participated last year; and numerous other specialized regional meetings em bracing all phases of agriculture. The bankers’ organization each year appoints an agricultural lia ison man in each of the State’s 100 counties. These representa tives are called “County Key Bankers” and they work closely with the Agricultural Commit tee. A book introduces new thoughts, but it cannot make them speedily understood. —Mary Baker Eddy. “The foundation upon which Democracy rests is faith in the moral instincts of its people.” The foundation of our ser vice is personal sincerity—the desire to serve tactfully, gracefully and with a rever ent diqnity. let's $0 1 0 lilt ur tit Sunday Sunday School Lesson THE GREATEST SERVANT International Sunday School Lesson for December 18, 1960. Memory Selection: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I,am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matt. 11:29). Lesson Text: Isaiah 61; Matthew 11:27-39 As we pick up our Bjbles to day, the purpose of our study, will be to show in what ways Jesus was the greatest servant, and why we should follow his example. As we go through life not one among us is immune to the de sire to be important; it is as nat ural as breathing, this yearning for a sense of significance. It therefore should surprise us lit tle when we come upon evi dence of it time and time again in the New Testament. On at least one occasion it came to the surface among the disciples, and Our Lord dealt with it in no uncertain fashion. “Who over would be great among you,” he declared, “must be your ser vant.” (Mark 10:43).

Do you want to rank in the kingdom of God? Then lose yourself forthwith for the good of others. Since this seems to be a revo lutionary requirement, contrary to nature, Christ has given us a classic example—that of the incident that occurred during the Last Supper. When the disciples gathered for Supper with Jesus on tuat fateful night, it seems as if everything that could go wrong had done so. Their Leader, once the idol of the crowds, was be ing denounced as a subversive, and charged with blasphemy and treachery. And so the disciples that night were wrapped in their own gloomy thoughts, hosts to the doubt and decisions of the best way of saving themselves. And as a natural consequence they neglected the courtesies commonly practiced on such oc casions. It was the custom in those days for a servant to re move the sandals of the guests and bathe their feet in cool, clear water; this was a welcome service, for most people traveled on foot, over hot and dusty roads.

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 I 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 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.
