f Letter To Editor
The writer wishes to give a
, -iborough consideration of what
;.tha schools know about their pu
pils as individuals, and of what
;tbey do for them as individuals,
;Jto make tt clear that tha limited
'scops of the high school curri
culum is not alone to be respon
sible for young people's lack of
ijsoclal competence. Pupils often
fall to profttasfullyasthey might
even from tha present currlcu
lu,: because many a time tha
acboola have no consistent plan
for seeing that Individual pupils
get what they need from their
1 claaa work.
j Finally: Teachers should recog-
nlze individual differences. Pu
' pits who are leas able academl-
cally than the average are often
S over-looked end aa tha result tha
' abler pupils are seldom chal

ability.

The high school graduate Is
facing the most important deci
sion In bis Ufei What he will do
with Us Hfe. Many of the
graduates are frightened. This
decision - which must be made
independently and will remain
irrevocable to a large extent -will
be the first major decision
ever reached by many of the grad
uates, the first decision ever
made completely on their own.
These young people are depart
Ing from a world of cotton candy
and laughter, the panacea of par
ental protection they are en
tering adulthood, entorlnga world
where nuclear warfare taunts
humanity wtth extinction, enter
ing a world of senseless global
conflicts where scientific techno
logical advancement has provided
nations and men with sophisti
cated weapons of death and de
struction, methods that have de
humanised the ritual of killing.
The graduates will be leaving
their homee to enter college
and military service, to choose
that occupation which they will
follow for the rest rest of their
lives, to begin the adventure of
marriage - but all will learn
the truth explored by AshevlUe
novelist Thomas Wolfe: 'You
Cant Go Homo Again."
Their parents, churches and
schools have tried to prepare the
graduates for this phase of life;
but is any preparation adequate?
Can moral and Intellectual cour
age be learned in the pontifical
sense of learning?
Facing a future of independence
and responsibility for the first
time is awesome, but also tt is
exciting and challenging. Today's
Leaving The Farm
Cr eaten a Problem
The problem is not, "Who
will produce the food?" Tre
mendous technological develop
ment, and efficient farming
methods, see to that.
Yet their backgrounds fit
them for agrl business pur
suits, at a time when agri
business jobs, vital to national
survival, are going begging.
The problem Is this: Many
of these people come to the
city. Many are untrained for
city living. But they must lire;
and they must work. Often
they add to the explosive eco
nomic and social problems of
the dtyv
MJWt swa TcW flVtvl eMtt Waft V
graduates enjoy more freedom,
in every sense of the word, than
any of their predecessors. The
opportunity has never been bet
ter for creative and sensitive
people to make the world a bet
ter place for all people to live.

tefore I hod chance to say, "Ousts
who," Jack knew It was I. We're like
that -maybe It's because we're twins.
We've always bean close. When we
were small, wo had a private adven
tureland out In our back woods. Hard
ly a day went by that Jack didn't help
me out of seme scrape. Ha was the
one who was able to entice me down
from that tree when I fell halfway
from the top and lay paralysed with
fright between two branches. I balled
' him out of several misadventures, too.
. When It came to collage we chose
the same one. And If t been nice, iv
ory now and then we get together
and talk out our problems, ut as we
always have. We go to church to
gether, too. .
We're glad Mom and Dad made the
Church an important part af our lives.
When wo think of graduation and the
Inevitable parting of our ways. It's
good to know that each af us hat an
ever-present source of strength and
guidance In Ood and His Church.

MEMORY SELECTION! "I wlMi;tortive thee for a light
to the Gentiles, that thou msystbej my salvation unto the
end of the earth." ' .
"' " - (Isaiah 49:6)
LESSON TEXTi Genes lal4-jJfgua 11; John 4-1-30.
Perhaps more than any 'book that has been written, the .
Bible is truly the "Book of Life"; for t is concerned with -all
kinds of people, from every walk of life ... the rich,
the poor, the educated, the uneducated; It Is concerned wtth
their hopes, their (ears, their rektlohshlD with one another
- their relationship wtth Ood. But over-all -it la
concerned with God's redemptive love for all mankind. It
is concerned wtth the past, wtth the present, with the future, '
B is aU-encompaasingl
And where you deal wtth people, you deal with history;
you deal with their customs, their belts fs; their fears ...
and their prejudices. For, even though the people of Biblical
days lived In times vastly dlfferentfromours,human nature
does not change so very much! Today we nave the "free
thinkers" - to whom we ascribe all the ills that befall our
modern world. We blame the "radicals" for the stats the
world Is lntoday;yet-wasttso different in Biblical times?
(Tssus was, perhaps, the most "radical" figure of all . . .
for the Bible is full of anecdotes where He flouted tradition,
and lived according to His bellsfs - the beliefs of the
Fatherl). Christians?, in other words, was gaining a foot
hold, ft was suffering the blrthpanga, and (like all sweeping -changes)
brought confusion and uncertainty in Its wake.
But, to really appreciate the portent of Christ's ministry
on earth, one must have at least a working knowledge of
the history of those days and times. To this snd, an Atlas
of the Holy Land as she was si mat time is invaluable; so,
also, is a background knowledge of her people, and of their
ways. A really good Concordance lsnottobe ignored, eltherl
. The story of the woman at the well illustrates, perhaps
most aptly of all, all ofthe things which have to be taken into
consideration - the long-standing feud between the Jews
and the Samaritans; the differing viewpoints of religion;
the differing customs of the races.
Jesus, deciding to leave Jerusalem to return to Nazareth ,
and pursue His ministry there, rather than engage In to ,
opportune conflict with the Pharisees, elected to take the
shorter route, leading through Samaria - which devout
Jews shunned, and was, once again, making His "free- , '
thinking fett. Here be was declaring that His concern
was for all tha people of the world ... not Just the "chosen
race", to sending Bis disciples into the city to purcbass- '
food, He was, also, striking at the accepted idea that meat '
touched by an unbeliever was "unclean' - and therefore
: forbidden. ::?
But how can we appreciate the overtones and undertones
of the story unless we know the historical background? We ''
need, first, to bs aware of the fact that when the Northern
Kingdom 0rael) fell before Assyria, the best of the people
, of Israel were taken into captivity, and that In the course oi .
time the captured Israelites inter married withtheAesyriaha.
Wei also need to know that when the Bouthern Kingdom (Judah)
fell to the Babylonians and wsre taken captive, the Jewa .
from the Southern region kept themselves to themselves,
and the bloodline was thus unadulterated". After seventy '
years, when these Jews returned to their homeland, they
mad pans for rebuilding the Temple. Some Samaritans,
hearing of the p!an, very gsasrously Journeyed to Jeru
salem and offared f-'r by !i the project, but were
bitterly repulsed. And so it s tut the Samaritans returned
to their homeland and dcisrmined to build their own Temple
on Moust Gerizlm. -
Knowing these background facta, the Scrlpturea become
much c lower to the stuiiat, and azty much more weight.
One rttXzss the parir of Chrlri's actions, and la both
overi-c'-jied by its nuances, and is iipired to have courage!
" For carifiiyy seeds tbat same dogged courage and "free
tt!a!aE5" today that tt did then.
Eow couraous a Christian are YOU?
