To live his me in the world he has to live in. will re quire faith and love and courage. So, teacher, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things ho will have to know. Teach him—but gently, if you can. He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, that all men are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel, there is a hero, that for every crooked poli tician there is a dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend. Let him learn early that the ’ bullies arer the easiest peo ple to lick. Teach him the wonders of books. Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mys tery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers bn a green hill. * Teach him about the world of work. Teach him that it is fur more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even 1 if everyone tells him they 1 are wrong. Try to give my son the strength not to follow the : crowd when everyone else is getting on the band wagon. Teach him to listen to all men, but to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and to take only the good that comes through. Teach him to sell his brawn THE CHOWAN HERALD and brains to the highest bidder, but never to put a price tag on his heart and souL Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob, and to stand und fight if he thinks he’s right. —, Teach him gently, but don’t coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, teacher, but see what you can do. He’s such a nice little fel low, my son. From the time a child is six until he graduates from high school, he probably spends more time each day, from September through May, in school or school related func tions than he does with his parents. Be assured that, each em ployee in the Edenlon-Cho wan Schools is aware of the importance of each and every child. Equally, wo are aware of the responsibility, dedica- tion and committment needed on our part to take each child “by the band” and to fooler his God-given strengths. We welcome the opportun ity for service. We solicit i the help or each . parent, church and the community at' large in this important task.
