The magazine is published by The Parents' Institute, Inc. Thus the staff of Parents' Magazine, which devotes its full time to Writing for and counselling 1,625.004 American families every month on raising children, makes its advice available to you in this secton. In addition this newspaper lias enlisted the cooperation of local school, health, traffic safety and civic organisations In preparation of thia special section, which is dedicated to the welfare of our school children. The articles are supplemented by announcements from local business people outlining their own preparations and readiness to serve parents and children alike, as the new school term ap proaches. All of the articles in this Section were specially written for it. These articles discuss the needs of school children, from be ginners to college students. They deal with the mental as well vs Ihe physical aspects of getting the children ready for school. Teachers, Doctors Show Concern Over After-Class Activities Of Students Teachers, doctors and others are ? worried about the (effect of too esj many activities upon the school An child, report the editors of Parents' pF( Magazine. Typical of these extra- acl currtcular activities are Sunday we school, scouting, music lessons, r(H dancing school, sports, school CU| 1 clubs, and work for organizations .,c| 1 like the Red Cross and Community Chest. Parents encourage this I>articipation. and rightly so. as ,ll{ desirable for the development of .* the child's personality. But what happens to the over busy youngster? Physically tired. nervous, restless, he is unable to . 0 concentrate. His school work % suffers. ? Parents can remedy this silua , tion in several ways. They can consult the family doctor for his re< imate of their child's stamnia. i easy-going, placid child can >bably take a greater amount of ivity than a nervous, under ight one. The child's school :ord Is also a picture of his paciiy for engaging in other ivities.

This is in prepa ration for a White House confer ence called by President Eisen hower for November 28th to De cember 1st. The Commission has prepared free booklets entitled. "How Can We Discuss School Problems?," available free on requests address ed to 2 West 45th street, New York 36. N. Y. i Preparation More Important Meanwhile school administrators, pointing to the immediate problem created by the approaching start i of the new fall term, declare that ? because of such factors as class room shortages and the lack of i sufficient number of teachers, if is more important than ever this year, that parents undertake earlier than ever the task of preparing their children, mentally and phy sically for their return to learning. More can be done to help chil dren advance along the road of learning during the weeks preced ing the opening of school than can Usually be accomplished on a hit and miss basis later, in the opinion of many authorities. It is almost entirely a matter of orientation for the child to be ac complished by doing as well as talking. And this year, significant advances and trends are develop ing to make the task easier for ail the parents. On the health side is the pro gress that has been made toward conquering polio, most dreaded of diseases to which school age chil dren are susceptible, with the ad vent of the Salk vaccine. This step forward is especially welcom ed during an era when overcrowd ing of schools is inevitable. Trend to Good Grooming It serves to point up the impor tance of scheduling physical exami nations at the professional level for the children, before school starts in order to allow time for remedial measures if required. Ex aminations of teeth, hearing and eyes are pre-high school opening musts for which appointments should be made now. The mounting wave of interest among school children of all ages in better grooming is welcomed also for its importance to character building. The growing trend gives every evidence of banishing the sloppy fads of the past which re - i that will sound soon to sum i new school term?scheduled lin a few weeks?is preceded ill of their parents, educational authorities in all one voice, inspired by another ig school enrollments, hat last year's total school en climb by approximately two j le growth to be felt in every Their Schooling pour into classrooms as begin > will be dropped from school in greater number than ever, leed for better trained adults heir parents, seek to continue and universities, ool system are working mira ; of the term, to stretch class der to take care of educational expanding more rapidly than ceived their share of blame for creating difficult behavior and learning problems. Designers of children's wearing apparel?now on display in the stores?have met the growing de mand for career clothes for school children with functional fashions made out of the new easy-to-care for materials that also are easier 011 the back to school budget. A great eagerness on the part of children, to return to school for a new term has been growing apace to help parents stimulate the proper mental approach. In grade schools the trend is attributed in part to the newer teaching methods which make school more interest ing to the children and to the promise of new adventures held by every new school year. Among high school and college age children, the trend is credited to their growing awareness of the mounting need and preference for , better educated and better trained personnel In all walks of life, after schooling is completed. In botb instances the wholesome newer attitudes toward school re j fleeted by children is vastly stimu lated by parents themselves, who I iiave learned to encourage the youngsters to take more interest in their own schooling. What Parents Can Do This attitude is best stimulated by concrete evidence on the pari I of parents of their own enthusiastic interest in the careers of the chil | dren, whith is learning. Wise parents begin talking with ! their children about the return to j school well in advance of the open j ing in terms designed to stimulate i the interest of the children. Wise parents invite the young sters to participate in selecting the clothes and supplies they are going ; to need for going back to school. Wise parents encourage young sters to make friends of theih doc tors and dentists. Wise parents further encourage their children by participating in adult school conferences. Parent Teachers association activities and by taking a definite and active in terest in school sports. PLAN AFTER SCHOOL SNACK Providing a balanced diet for the school child can be easier if mother includes the after-school snack and "milk breaks" In her planning. Out of 222 naturally occurring mineral commodities produced or utilized in the United States, only seven are not known to occur in California.
