THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1960 (# f P THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina ^ PARENTS AND SCHOOLS You're The Teacher World Is Classroom, •_ . r » (Sevenlh in a series of ar ticles prepared by the Nation al Education Association, to help parents understand school problems.) Their transportation is often the school bus, their ticket, a per mission silp from Mother. Destin ation can be around the world or around the corner. It all adds up 10 today’s students becoming the best travelled in history. Learning, educators say, is no longer confined to the pages of books or the four walls of a class room. More and more students, with their teachers, are ventur ing outside the school to do their learning anywhere from the neighborhood dairy to the Champs Eiysees. Last summer for example, 64 selected high school student coun cil members and their faculty ad visers spent almost seven weeks visiting eight European countries trying to learn as much as pos sible about the European way of life. Serious travellers on a seri- ( ous mission, they not only deep ened their own international un derstanding, but transmitted it to others when they returned home. Described Trip In the past school year, these youngsters have made more than 1,500 public appearances before ischool and community groups. End have described their trip to a total audience estimated at al most 200,000 people. The whole effort with these ‘ junior ambassa dors of good will” was so success ful that the sponsor, the National Association of Secondary-School Principals, a department of the National Education Association (NEA), intends to repeat it with another group of students in 1962. According to a recent travel survey, students make up the fastest-growing group of Ameri cans abroad—some 80,000 crossed the ocean this year, an all-time high. And the trend will continue. A new book pubiished by the Na tional Council for the Social Studies, another department of NEA, foresees the day when the entire junior class will depart from their high school for three months of work and study in a foreign country, absorbing social studies first-hand. How Fit In? How do you—the parent or pri- es- vate citizen—fit into the act, pecially for trips in your commu nity? If you’re a businessman, it’s quite likely students would be in terested in visiting your place of business. If you’re a city official, they may visit your office in city ball—giving you an ideal oppor- tunit to impress future voters with their responsibilities in civic affairs and political activity. A guide to field trips, publish ed by the National Science Teach ers Association, another NEA de partment, suggest some steps the businessman can take to develop successful field trip programs— with an eye to building good will. Set up a definite field-trip pro gram, with one person in charge. Distribute maps and brochures of the company’s history, pur poses, and physical layout. Give “open houses” for local teachers, along with previews of proposed trips for their students. Develop evaluation sheets the students can fill out. Field trips range from the sim ple to the elaborate, but the stu dents always come in contact with “real-life” situations. Around the Block The National Council of Teach ers of Mathematics, another NEA department, mentions a walk around the block in which stu dents list all measurements ob served, or a visit to a bank, where youngsters follow the steps taken m processing checks. Units on ‘city helpers” in the elementary grades prompt trips to the fire and police stations, nearby farms and airports. For high school students, the field trip often serves as an in troduction to possible careers. English classes profit from trips to newspaper offices and broad casting studios. Social studies classes make tours of stock mar ket and brokerage houses in the nearby city a highlight of their study of economics. As a parent, you play a part in the success of a field trip. First of ail, you will sign a permission slip. Without this, no child is al lowed to attend the event. The permit does not waive the respon sibility of the school or teacher. It merely signifies that the trip is taken with your consent. You might be asked to accom pany the group as an adult lead- With The Armed Forces Sgt. Donald T. Lutz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lutz, 173 Hardin St., recently re-enlisted for three years in the Regular Arnw while serving with the 101st Airbornfe Division Band at Fort Campbell, Ky.

You will then be provided with a copy of the study guide, a iist Of the children, and a descrip tion of the place to be visited. Not a Picnic Even as a stay-at-home parent, you can contribute to the trip’s success. The National Council for the Social Studies urges that “students be impressed with the fact that the trip is an education al experience, not a picnic. Par ents can make things easier for the teacher by informing the child on proper manners and dress for the trip and basic safety precau tions that he should take.” OUTDOOR SPORTS Outdoor sports are top attrac tions in North Carolina during November. Mid-South golf courses are in prime playing con dition, the hunter’s quarry ranges from wild boar in the mountains to waterfowl on the coast, and salt and fresh waters yield au tumn dividends to fishermen. Mild weather and bright foliage enhance early November travel in the nibuntain vacatiorilands, and last until after Thanksgiving across the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. young Leathernecks for further specialized infantry training at Camp Lejeune.
