Soil Conservationist Chowan County supervisors will hold their regular meeting Thursday night, September 21, at the local work unit office in the abasement of the Post Of lice in (Edenton. ' . Several items of business will be discussed, including applica tions from farmers to become district cooperators and requests -for assistance on soil and water conservation practices. The two watersheds, 'Pollock Swanjp and Burnt Mill Creek, will keep SCS 'personnel busy this winter. Farmers are re quested to make appointments I for their individual work. This ’ will allow SCS personnel to ser vice them and keep up the wa tershed work. Watershed Meeting Landowners in the Bear Swamp section of Chowan and Perquimans Counties held their! » second meeting this year on the, small Watershed program ‘Thurs day night, September 14, at the Hill Community Build ing. About 30 landowners at- j l tended and made plane for con-: tacting other landowners. Chair-[ man Archie Lane appointed B.j P. Monds and Cernon Asbell to' contact Chowan County land-i owners. A committee wa§ ap-j pointed to work with Perquim-; ans County landowners. Area Conservationist W. A. j McLeod explained the watershed! program and its benefits. He pointed out that the require ments to get a high priority with the State Soil Conservation Committee was local interest, need and size of the project. Mr. McLeod stated that it cost! almost as much to serve a small project as a large project. The area in the present Bear Swamp .drainage district is only About 7,000 acres which is considered; a small project. Other groups,; such as Bethel Creek, could i come under the same project as!

Conservation Work A large number of Chowan County farmers' have conserva tion practices planned for this fall and winter. Murray Good win'is planning to dig an open ditch this fall. The field sur vey and design has been made on his ditch. W. A. Twine, Cisco, has re vised his \ conservation farm plan. He planned a tile drain age system to be installed over a four-year period. This fall he plans to install 1,000 feet of six-inch drain tile. Technical assistance for revising his con servation farm plan was furnish ed by the local soil conservation district through the Soil Conser vation Service. Mr. Twine planned to install diversions and grass waterways to control erosion. District cooperator J. B. Hol lowell, Cross Roads, plans to es tablish grass waterways to stop erosion on his cropland. These practices were planned in his conservation farm plan. Robert Francis, Edenton, plans to dig an open ditch in his woodland for fire protection and drainage. Mr. Francis has im proved his woodland by poison ing undesirable trees and set ting loblolly pines. Field survey work has been done on the Layton-Perry group ditch in the Rockjt Hock com munity. The local soil conser vation district is furnishing this group technical assistance in planning their group drainage project this year. Soil Conser vation Service is furnishing the assistance.

But he points out the -diffi culty in a parent determining this. “For example,” says Katzen meyer, “one father claims that his boy had Miss Jones and didn’t learn a thing. Does that mean that if your Junior had Miss Jones hd won’t learn either? “Probably not,” continues Kat zenmeyer. “Anyone who works with kids knows that they are as alike as bonnets in the Eas ter parade. “Most children respond well to most teachers. But sometimes we find a child who responds exceptionally well to a particu lar teacher. Another youth may not respond at all to the same instructor. Is the teacher a lemon? “Seldom so,” says Katzen meyer, father of three children THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 19*1. ALMOST HUMAN —Alexander the Orangoutang puckers his lips as he finishes off his orange ice on a stick. He was trying to refresh at Regent’s Park Zoo in London, England. himself. “We’re just seeing hu- j man beings being human.” Usually, good teachers and 1 administrators try to make the 1 best placement f6r each child. | KatzenmeyeiAthinks a good as-] signment method is that used i by many schools in which teach-1 ers and principal sit down to-, gether before classes end in the; spring and work out the teach T er assignment for each young ster for the upcoming year. In discussing a placement, for instance, one schoolmarm may say, “Rocky raises more mischief than the entire class. I’m not sure how to handle him.” The other teacher replies. “I think I can handle Rocky’s type. You’re good with Sam’s kind. I’ll take Rocky and put him in Jerry’s and Jim’s group and you: take Sam. That’ll be good for! both boys, don’t you think?” 1 Similar discussion based on experience and information about each pupil goes into ev-| ery placement decision, says_ Katzenmeycr. j In schools that practice ’group ing, an additional factor affects placement. ! Katzenmeyer would put each student into a class having a reading group at his level. In this case, assignment to a teach-j er other than the one of his, reading group might constitute poor placement, at least as far as studies go. What about schools that use the “pick names out of a hat” method in determining assign-] ments? Katzenmeyer disapproves of the procedure. He thinks a parent is justified in requesting um y ; MW > Mgk imi omb. * IHh jfBUB wt ~"Y> : 1 EdflM 1 ■ mm Wm l rlllEl mg inUn ■^MznnHTv. - .... and meet the men who stand behind it '—T&dMj You’ve seen how people look at the new cars ~. slam a door, lift the hood, perhaps kick a tire.

By and large, however, you need not worry. Teachers and principals sincerely concern l themselves with placing each child under the best teacher for him.
