had very nice rooms at the Palmer

over Lake Michigan.
On settling in the hotel the Fraz-

can't tell you too much about what
they did or where they went. Mon

Thursday the ladies took them

fleers. At 2:30 that afternoon. we
checked out of the Palmer House
and beaded southeast across In

spent that night. The wheat and
corn fields of Indiana were just as
I had pictured them. The rolling
plains, some times as far as the eye
could see with nothing but com
and a few miles further it would be
wheat. Soy beans were growing
in what seemed like mile long rows,
neatly cultivated. The agricultural
area seemed to be full of all kind
of farmers cooperatives. The whole
country , looked like rural prosper
ity. At Indianapolis we saw one of
International Harvester's largest
plants. As we left Indianapolis
Sunday morning we began to roll
into the hills, not mountains, but
reminding me of the foothills of
North Carolina. We continued
southeast to Cincinattl and through
the city that is the home of the
Tafts. We came out of Cincinatti
along the beautiful Ohio river and
for over a hundred miles followed
the river through the Ohio Valley.
We crossed the river at one point
and went into some small town in

market and the warehouses ' re

Home Work
(Continued from front page)
nothing wrong with his I. Q. There
was much wrong with his L-DO.
Many a student has been referred
to as not being college material
simply because he has not applied
himself and mainly because his
parents have not cooperated by
having a TIME and PLACE for
study. ;
. Today there is much controversy
about the advisability of giving any
nomework at all. A certain man
who serves as a college professor
in the summer and as a city school
superintendent in the winter, made
:he statement in his classes that he
was opposed to homework, ibc
facetiously gave as a reason the
fact that he was tired of doing his
jwrt children's homework at night.)
He contended that a student could
io his work at school if he tried.
Maybe, so, professor. But suppose
i student carries five subjects -in
ligh school and has one study pe-
iod. If he takes typing, he will
want to practice, typing at that
time (since he does not have a type
writer at home.) Perhaps a genius
:ould do all right without home
work, but even he' can profit by-
" leveloping study habits at home.
rhis week I contacted a former stu
dent of mine, a girl whose mental
ibility was, in my opinion, as good
is that of any other student I have
taught in my eighteen years of ex
perience. (Her rating on a Pepsi
Cola Scholarship exam and also on
a Civil Service exam supports my
contention that she is among the
best.) - I asked Mittie Ruth Wallace
Shivar what she thought ' about
homework. She believes that it is
necessary for one's growth and de
velopment that studying at home
develops the power of concentra
tion and strengthens one"Sv perse
verance. It does take a lot of per
serverance to study when friends
blow the born and yell, "Let s go
to the show!" ; (However, shows
that are good can teach more than
an evening of study. A movie about
David Livingston will instruct, in
spire, and build character. Seeing
'The Last of The Mohicans"- will
teach more about Indian life than
a book can teach.. Yet as a gen
eral rule, studying at home is more
helpful than seeing shows.)
Today I asked Steve Williamson,
a ninth grade bdy, what he thought
about homework. He said, "A lit
tle homework all along is all right
if they just don't pile it up on us
at one time". Thank you, Steve.
Maybe ' we need to assign syste
matically and not spasmodically. '
. Dianne Stokes, a tenth grade girl,
said concerning homework, T "It is
my honest .opinion that a pupil
could : accomplish more if super
vised study periods were provided
during school hours. 1 , This would
especially hold true In the case ot
the rural child, who is confined u
specified chores when he reache;
home and hasn't enough time tt !
give the proper amount of concen
tration:, to his studies...' I feel that
more woujd be gained by the use
of study periods during scnuu.
than by the giving of homework.'
Millie Burch, an eleventh grade
girl, said, "If any homework is as
signed it should, be very little. No
student should be , required to do
homework over the weekend ex
cept in case he has neglected' his
work and has gotten behind. Week
ends are for relaxation and social
development. ' t. must admit that
nore can be : accomplished if one
develops the regular habits of
studying at home.. I surely could
not get anywhere with my music
J I did not practice."'
A parent once said, "You teach
ers give too much homework. My
daughter sat; up about all last night
reading a book ana , writing a
theme." The teacher replied that
the book was supposed to have been
finished two weeks before and the
theme had already been handed in
by all the others In the class. That
mother's home had not been a place
that was good for study. .
Teachers and parents need to see
that schools and homes sire cpn
ducive to study Chaos at school
or chaos at home will not 'aid deep
concentration. The right kind of
atmosphere at school or at home
will make studying a pleasure. . ,
'What's the solution to the ques
tion about homework? You an
swer that question. I can't. . The
modern trend is to reduce it to a
minimum or to abolish It. 4 'You
know how we laugh when people
say, "Mr. Millard always whipped
a student who missed ONE word
In spelling." We may be laugheo
at some day. People may say,
"What do you know! Children used
to have to take a pile of books
home and study them at night!" '
I don't know what is best. Dc
You? . ..." - .

Postmaster ; General SummerflelQ

H. R. 6052 raises second-class rates
42 percent above the last two in
creases of 20 percent authorized in
1951. While the bill, at this time,
excludes within county circulation
from the proposed hike, it has an
impact on newspapers with, anj
"out-of-county" subscriptions ' anc
on publications located near'coun
ty borders with mail going across
the county line. The Post Offic
Department estimates the, second
class increases will cost publishers
another $20,000,000. The hiket
would be effective in two steps
October 1, 1953, and July 1, 1954.
And the third boost in the 1951
postal rate law would be set ahead
to October, 1953, instead of April
1, 1954. During the hearings Rep.
.Tnhn TAAtnclrl Ti nf Mich., urffeti
that second-class rates be raised to
cover SO percent of the cost cnargeo
against the publication. '
The Postmaster "General testified
that SECOND CLASS RATES
WOULD HAVE TO BE RAISED
MORE THAN 400 PERCENT TO
MAKE THIS CLASSIFICATION
SELF-SUSTAINING AT THIS
TIME. He also stoutly aeienoea
the reliability of the Department's
Cost Ascertainment system which
aas been freely criticized by all
classes of mail users as a guide to
postal rate making because of its
many short-comings. Basing his
statements on the cost report, Mr.
Summerfield told the House Com
mittee that "the taxpayers pay 80
percent of. the -cost of handling
publishers second-class mail."
Mr. Summerfield , has strongly
hinted that he is exploring the
long-established policy by Congress
of granting low rates to publica
tions as recognition of, their pub
lic . service. - This official claims
that this acknowledgement of the
functioning of newspapers in the
public interest "should be- reap
praised' in the light of new com
petitive media of communications.
He also stated tree in county costs
the Government $13,600,000 annu

i Instructions have been issued to
all postmasters, dated July 16, 1953,
containing revolutionary cnanges
in methods of collecting postage on
second-class matter. The new pro
cedures which are effective immed
iately discontinue manual weigh
ing of publications by postal em
ployees . to :' ascertain the ? bulk
weight. It is replaced by a routine
computing the bulk weight of one
issue and must be weighed by pub
lishers at their own offices. (De
tails may be obtained at the local
nnct ciffic -tohpr conies of Insert
No. 636, Order No. 55267, dated July

in early date.)
Until this revision was authoriz
ed the psyical end or so-called
.nanual weighing ot second-class
matter was checked by postal, em
ployees by utilizing scales at local
post offices or designated places
uke a publishers mailing room.
According to Post Office Depart

Warrant Issued For
Haywod Teachey
A warrant has been issued for
Haywood, Teachey as being an ac
cessoryyto a highway robbery which
occurred several days ago, when
Pearly Austin was knocitea un
conscious and robbed, of his wal
let which contained $Zd.
Pearly Austin was walking down
the highway, near Jerry Teachey's
store, and as -he was passing, Mick
ey Farrlor struck him on the bead
with a piece of slab rendering him
unconscious, . according to officers.
Farrior took his billfold and got
into a car with Thomas Gray Far
rior ' and Haywood Teachey and
drove off. Later Mickey Farrior
was picked up at the home of his
foster father, Richard Farrior.
Thomas Gray Farrior was also ar
rested but has been released under

It is expected that' publishers who
can do so will print their own
forms. Since a supply of the new
form has not been received, it is
being reproduced below. Arrange
ments should be made for pub
lishers to print the form and start
using it Immediately for the pre
scribed purposes. ' Reprints .of this
notice will be available for post
masters who request them."
- The form, appears to be a modi
fication or adoption of parts of old
Fprm 3539A and 3541. It will be
prepared by the publisher and filed
with the local postmaster. The new
form breaks mailings down at least -twice
a year to various zones. The
use of tone analysis will no longer
be necessary, since the statement
filed by the publishers on Form
3542 will show the information ne
cessary for the computation of the
postage charges) , All mailings
should be separated only according
to the distribution schemes.. Post-.
masters are advised that: "Pub
lishers who " have already 1 been
granted permission to deliver cop
ies of their publication at their own
expense and risk to other post of
fices and" elsewhere shall not be re
quired to tile new applications at '
this time. The authorizations which
have heretofore been granted will
remain in effect and postmasters
ind, others who have been accept
.ng copies from -such publishers
when accompanied with a com
pleted certificate tin Form. 3879
should accept the copies without a
certificate on Form 3979.' ,
. Of 'particular interest' to newspa
pers entitled to "exceptional dis
patch treatment" is the ellmniation
of certain ' delaying requirements.
Formerly these publications had to
be actually weighed for each issue
by postal employees. This is no
longer necessary, it the new regu
lations are observed. Many larger
newspapers have been permitted to
deliver copies of a second-class pub-,
lication at the publishers' expensst
and risk to other post offices or?
elsewhere , than at the office of
original second-class entry. It la
now permissible for the postmaster -at
the original point of entry to '
approve" pr disapprove such prac
tice and to notify other post offices
concerned and the appropriate gen
eral superintendent of the Postal'
Transportation Service. ! t-
