w High schools today offer wide
^varieties of subjects, ranging

~ooometry and ancient history to

In a few months thousands of
; boys and girls about to enter
-?high school or those already in it
Z lace the question : "What to take
~ next year?"
- Who should make the important
~ decision?
-> The student himself, inexper
~ ienced, often without specific
alms?
- The parents, who want the best
> for their Junior but not sure
what it is?
- The cchool official, who often
knows more about a youngster's
abilities than the parents but less
about home and personal factors.
Strong motivaters behind youth's
desires and ambitions.
A logical answer comes from
Dr. Roy R. Blanton Jr., principal
of the laboratory Appalachian
Iligh School on the campus of Ap
palachian State Teachers College,
Boone, N. C.
He recommends all three? the
parents, principal and Junior?
making the dicislon together in
"B?ch poiiwm special infor
maboo the other doeea't have,"
My* Dr. Blanton. "Pooling It to
gether aj a team enable* the con
struction at a realistic course of
study which ia bMt for Junior "
The parent neglecting to come
together with the principal and
hi* child doe* the youngster an
injustice, the eighteen-year veter
an educator warns.
Just what subjects Junior se
lects should be determined large
ly by the vocation he wishes to
enter. Dr. Blanton advises. Care
ful analysis by the team Is es
pecially necessary to estimate
Junior's ability to succeed in hi*
chosen pursuit.
If the vocation calls for college
education. Junior must take cer
tain courses to meet college en
trance requirements such as a
language, which many students
prefer detouring. Schoolmen ac
quaint themselves with college
and university requirements.
If the team decides it's best for
Junior to end bis formal educa
tion at high school graduation, a
variety of courses should be se
lected to famaliarize him with the
world in which he lives and pre
pare him for responsibilities of
a democracy.
The average high school offers
several vocational courses . In
these Junior may learn a worth
while occupation. Most school
curriculums carry business sub
jects such as typing and short
hand. Some offer auto mechanics,
carpentry and agriculture.
And for the high schooler unde
cided about his future, a gener
al course of study is a good bet,
states Dr. Blanton. It exposes
him to many fields, one of which
could key bim to a calling of his
liking

The seeding of grasses and le
gumes U only a part of the job of
most effective conservation. The
1959 Agricultural Conservation
Program also contains practices
providing for the application of
liming materials on farmland,
contour atripcropping and forest
tree planting, and several others.
To help farmers use the pro
gram to the beat advantage, elect
ed farmer-committeemen are
available in every farming com
munity. Ratcliff urges all farm
ers to use these men in analyzing
the conservation needs on their
farm. "Conservation can be the
salvation of farmers in their time
of need," he said. "They should all
go by their local ASC office, dis
cuss their conservation needs with
the personnel there and, if their
needs can be met through the pro
gram, they should sign the neces
sary papers on that visit."
