Moe flUU ANDREWS GIRLS LEADING CONFERENCE The Andrews Girls Basketball team now leading the conference with a 7-0 record appear to be a strong contender for the championship. The team sparked by fast breaking forwards owes much to the excellent defensive play of the guards for the team's record.

All home games will be played on Tuesday Night for the remainder of the season.

Child's Real Education Comes From Home, Bishop Tells PTA True education for our children comes from within each child's own home and is the direct re flection of the parents' attitudes, Episcopal Bishop M. George Henry told Andrews PTA members and guests last week. Bishop Henry was guest speak er for the Parent and Family Life Education Committee of the An drews Parent-Teacher Association. Having taught College Chemis try prior to hie theological educa tion, Bishop Henry spoke from the faculty's point of view: and since he and Mrs. Henry have four chil dren of their own, he also could speak from the parents' point of view. His AB degree from Carolina is in Chemistry. He holds a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary and a Doc tor of Divinky degree from the University of South at Sewanee, Tenn. He was introduced by Dr. Ger ald Almond. Special music by Rev. and Mrs. John C. Corbitt preceded the address. The Bishop defined true educa atlon as?not the simple process of gathering facts, nor merely 'book-learning', but Instead (true education is) tbe evaluation of farts, in relationship to other facts so that a person may live happily and usefully. Evalua tions must be made on the basis of truth, and values must be true and in keeping with reality. With the National Congress of Parents and Teachers for 1952-1955 emphasizing moral and spiritual values, Bishop Henry brought the responsibility back to the founda tion' on which the framework is built?the child's own home. Getting straight to the point. Bishop Henry told his audience that there is an acute lack of real ization among today's parents con cerning the importance of the edu-, oation which children receive con stantly within their own homes, I and which is absorbed by the chil- j dren?with or without the con scious efforts of the parents. The j very attitudes of the parents and home are reflected in the attitudes and actions of the children. Parents are leaving the educa tion of their children too much to the institutions of learning. while falsely assuring themsel ves that thig schooling will ade quately equip their children for living a happy, useful life in to day's world. When a child enters this wqrid, his hereditary in fluences are already established. This we cannot change, the Bish op said, but to every human be ing is given that Divine spark of freedom. So?a child is born in to this world?the child devel ops?his general environment presents varied influences, but a child's own home DETERMINES his education. Referring again to his definition of a true education, Bishop Henry emphasized that evaluations made by parents must be on the basis of 4nfth and in keeping with reality. For example, he said that telling a child that goodness pays' is in-, correct in the materialis mof today I Therefore, parents should teach' the truth of just what the world ,1 gives and what truth gives. This | I is not easy, but the truth is that, I the world of materialism does not. | give goodness a reward. That a child may accept himself, (Continued on page 4) Murphy FFA Boys Win Seed Contest A team of four ninth grade boy* of Murphy School's Vocational Agriculture classes took first place in the annual Seed Identification and Judging contest last week In Bryson CKy.
