North Carolina is rot the only place where
ecucat.cn :s a rr.ajcr problem. In fact the
r.at:on as a whole is confronted with many of
the ame problems, as evidenced by a recent
article written by A. N Spanel, president of
Intt-rratitna! Latex Corp. The article ap
peared ir. national publications, in part as
follows:
The sun won't shine so brightly for Ameri
ca i children in the years to come, a condition
brought about by the shameful neglect and
ir.ci:fTerence of their parents who stood idly
by -.chile more. than 350.000 schoc! teachers
q-.t the teaching profession since 1939. The ,
h. ..re is staggering. It represents over one
th.r l of the total number of school teachers
:n America. The loss of these teachers has j
v. eiker.ed our schools to a frighteningly low
-.. ; The harm to America's children is i
be-;. -s.r. calculation.
Tr.e situation is getting worse. Nobody
wants to be a teacher. Young people turn
to other occupations. In colleges, where
teachers are trained, the seats are empty.
There is no one to take the place of the teach
er wh-.. ;s leaving the profession. j

Does anyone know where "ideas" come from?
Answer: If you're thinking of
"original ideas", all that we can
be sure of is that they don't "come
into our minds" out of the wild
blue yonder; they rjse out of the
"unconscious". Basically each idea

to ignore the fact that physical
