SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD
*T Mat Corey, Appalachian State Teacher* College
Teachers Need
And Encouragement Too
Voet parents teach their chil
t'ren to respect their fathers and
t' tethers and to revere their
Maker. Some also instill a high
Tigard for and appreciation of
he work of teachers.
But in some schools there is an
v 1 ((visible wall” between teach
. as and parents which makes the
teicher’s job almost impossible.
And excessive current criticism
of education is building the wall
higher.
Genuine respect for the teach
er has several values, says Dr.
William S. Gray, professor emer
itus at the University Chica
go. Pupils adjust to school re
quirements more willingly. They
cooperate better in learning ac
tivities. Most important, they
learn more.
Further, where no barriers of
Antagonism exist, needed' person
y*L guidance can be provided by
feathers more freely ihd ex
pertly.
Student biases and antagon
isms often reflect parental atti
tudes. Parents who really want
to help their children succeed in
school can do so by persistently
cultivating respect for the teach
er’s position,, advises the Chi
cago, professor. Likewise, of
course, teachers should constant
ly endeavor to win the confi
dence of their pupils and estab
lish that educator’s dream, “.good
rapport.”
Ethel Kawin, director of the
Educational Project at
’.the University of Chicago, has
worked many years for better
home-school relations. She re
ports that real efforts to im
prove have paid off in some
schools. On the other hand, the
“invisible wall’ that separates
parents and teachers still ex
ists.
In fact, says Miss Kawin, the
current tendency to be excessive
ly critical of American education
in general is reflected in the at
titude of many parents toward
specific teachers, with the inevi
table result that educators be
come resentful and defensive.
The child is caught in the mid
dle. He is the one who suffers
most from feelings of hostility
between his parents and teach
ers—who don’t often see each
other.
Dr. Gray emphasizes that par
ents should be careful "to avoid
criticizing teachers in the pres
-oence ,of their children. If on oc
casion you believe that a teach
er has erred, discuss the mat
ter directly with her, not witii
the child. In fact, the child
should never know, with but
rare exceptions, that the teach
er’s actions or efficiency have
been questioned.
To be happy and effective,
teachers like everyone else need
praise and recognition, says the'
professor. Too often their con-|
tacts with parents aye limited to.
the occasions wften thqJtidiyajiTw
plains about Junior’s low grades'
dr marks in citizenship.
The father or mother who
drops in after school to give
the teacher a “pat on the back”
for his excellent teaching or
leadership does nearly as much
for the teacher as would a raise
m salary!
Under the teacher’s profession
tive to unfriendliness as are
those .of an incoming first grad
er. Respect and consideration,'
are required if either is to do
his best work.
L Although many schools have'
Irules which prohibit pupils from
wiving presents to teachers, par- 1

«its may on occasion encourage
Aeiy children to show gratitude

in some appropriate concrete
way. Why not invite the teach
er to spend an evening in your
home? This should always be
done as an indication of friend
ship and respect, of course, and
not as a bid for favor.
The finest presents that can be
given to the classroom teacher,
says Dr. Gray, are a jrind word,
whole-hearted cooperation, and
other evidences of respect and
appreciation.
Good Cottonseed Will
Be Short This Year
High quality cottonseed for
planting this year are in short
supply, according to a report
'rom Foil McLaughlin, assistant
director of the N. C. Crop Im
provement Association.
McLaughlin urged cotton grow
ers to see their seed dealer im
mediately and insist upon good
seed if at all possible. He sug
gested that seed dealers, in re
turn, contact their certified seed
growers.
“We ship a lot of both certi
fied and registered cottonseed
out of the state each year,” Mc-
Laughlin explained. “If we
make the demand known soon
enough,” he added, “we may be
able to use some of these seed
in the state.”
McLaughlin warned that the
seed supply situation is not go
ing to get any better, and that
other states are faced with the
same problem.
I Realizing that the supply will
Ibe short, the directors of the
N. C. Crop Improvement Asso
ciation have authorized the low
ering of germination standards
from 80 to 70 per cent for reg
istered and certified cottonseed
produced in 1960.
Seed germinating from 70 to 79
per cent will bear a tag “Sub
standard for Germination.”
“Even by lowering the stand
ard, seed are not going to be
plentiful,” McLaughlin predicted.

Sunday School Lesson
WHY IS CHRIST OUR
AUTHORITY?
International Sunday School
Lesson for January 29, 1961.
Memory Selection: “Truly, truly,
I say to you, he who bears my
word and believes him who sent
me, has eternal life; he does not
come into judgment, but has
passed from death to life.”
(John 5:24)
Lesson Text: John 5.
Last week we came to grips
with the question of who Jesus
is, so now we are ready to move
on to the next question what
authority does Jesus have in and
over our lives? In today’s lesson
we shall consider the question of
the nature of authority. In what
sense is Jesus our authority?
Byway of approaching this
question, let us turn to John
5. In this chapter we read of
Jesus’ healing of a man, thirty
eight years lame, on the Sab
bath day, and we read of the
anger of the Jews as a conse
quence. We see Jesus defending
himself by telling his critics he
does only his Father’s will ,that
God is a working God, not one
who rests on a given day, but

There are many versions of
authority, It is quite different
from any of those mentioned
- thus far. It is the authority of
a person who by virtue of his
very being evokes a response of
trust and loyalty. Such a one
1 may or may not have specialized
knowledge in a given field. He
may or may not have great pow
er to enforce demands. He may,
iin some instances, seem quite
J innocuous in many ways—and
yet he may exercise great pow
er in the lives of people. He
may exercise influence for great
good or great evil, but there is
something about him which
i draws others to him in a re
jsponse of trust and loyalty. No
. one can estimate the importance
ol such people in the history of
mankind. It is the authority of
a life. This, in a sense, is the
type of authority we are study
ing today.
It is evident that the Gospel
of John thinks of Jesus’ authori
ty as having to do with his re
lationship to God. “I have come
in my Father’s name.” The gos
pel thinks of Jesus as the reve
lation of God and the giver of
