School And Your Child By John Corey Education Department Appalachian State Teachers College MORE ADULTS THAN YOUNGS TERS ARE ATTENDING SCHOOL More grown-ups go to school today .than all youngsters put to gether, reports Dr. Lee Reynolds cf Appalachian Staite Teachers College, Boone, N. C. In a recent year 58 million a dults engaged in some type of education activity, compared with 41 million persons enrolled Warlick Bush John or Wesley About this question: 1 often read about car thefts but it never struck home. Last night It was my car. Unless it shows up. I'll be out $2400. Is it true that about $10 would have bou ght theft, fire and glass break age protection for a full year? Consult the C. E. Warlick insurance Agency. Phone 739-3611. ; for elementary, secondary and college instruction, the Appala chian education professor points out. This may mean that education i today is replacing “'things” as a I symbol of one’s importance, or as a means of self-fulfillment, o pines Dr. Reynolds. In fact, “it is already known that automobiles are losing their punch as symbols,” says Dr. Daniel R. Davies, education pro-j fessor at Columbia University’s Teacher College. Cars look too much alike, the professor claims. Dr. Davis sees strong evidence that the acquisition of things of' any .sort is increasingly giving way to efforts to expand indivi dually, to devote time and mon ey to a “pursuit of learning.” In other words, for real distin ction one must know more. This changing American taste for learning, plus technological developments, fast - changing world conditions, and expanding populations account largely for the recent tremendous expansion in adult education, explains the Columbia scholar. Doctors, for example, return to school periodically for up-to-date briefings on new drugis, diagnos tic procedures, and remedial tec hniques. Mechanics must attend schools to keep up with new develop ments. Even top corporation executives sit in special college courses to learn the latest business techni ques. Churches and numerous other organizations send members to various schools to keep them bet ter informed. And thousands attend day and night classes on their own just to satisfy a hunger, which in creases with maturity, for liberal education. They yearn to know more about history, art, and lit erature. Many of these folks have per ceived that the chromium orna ments on their autos don’t repre sent any personal accomplish ment. Rather, they are the handi work of skilled designers and builders, made possible to the av erage owner through the creation of an “installment” type of fin ancing. Knowledge, not ownership of things, really gives one a greater sense of personal accomplish ment, they have learned. And not only is education the style nowadays, it is a necessity if one is to stay atop in business. Dr. Reynolds of Appalachian State points out that most of A-j merica’s six million unemployed have learned that “a person with only muscles to sell is certainly a lost individual today.” "And the ironic thing”, ex plains Dr. Reynolds, "is that there are five million jobs opened Without people to fill them — but the jobs require skilled and trained folks. Actually there’d be no unem ployment problem if those with out jobs could be trained, says Appalachian State’s Dr. Rey nolds. Training centers such as those established at Gastonia and Hic kory mark the beginning of an answer to the problem, Dr. Rey nolds feels. In the stampede for education, whait are the favorite adult stu dies? “Everything and anything”, reports Dr. Davies. Foir example, in a group of 15 families living in a surburban village, ithe professor found seven adults engaged in the following education activities: Person One, a Ph.D. who dir ects a research lab, attending a two-week conference sponsored by .his industry on new research problems and techniques. Person Two, a young interior decorator with a personal adjust ment problem, enrolled in a psy chology course in a nearby col lege. Person Three, a mother whose children had grown and who wanted to finish work on a tea cher’s certificate begun years a go. studying in a teachers’ col lege as a part-time student. Person Four, a homemaker, learning flower arranging in a local high school adult educa-; tion class. Person Five, an engineer res ponsible for the training of new employees for a large public u tiliity corporation, taking a cour se in teaching and tearing in a university as a part-time student because he felt inadequate as a teacher. Person Six, a young girl who had finished high school and was living at home pending out come of the courting process, continuing private home piano! lessons and working on a secre tarial course. Person Seven, an enthusiastic scoutmaster, tackling a long ser ies of courses ’by the local Boy Scouit Council to win his hono rary key. Dr. Davies salutes this Ameri can zest for adult education. He considers at to be “one of the most effective ways to improve individuals and a society of free, people.” STARTS THURSDAY - CONTINUES THROUGH OCTOBER 21 Home ol Belter Values f Archdalelj VAT-DYED COLORS!

Clerk Municipal-County Court Guilford County, North Carolina. 10:5 - 26 Telephone Talk bj FLOYD FARMS Your Telephone Manager MOST FOLKS ARE familiar with the part our telephone servicemen play in providing good telephone service. You might not know, though, that a telephone serviceman can serve in another very important way, if the need arises. Throughout the Bell System, more than 165,000 em ployees—including approximately 60,000 telephone serv icemen—hold first aid certificates! Each man’s truck or trailer n well-equipped first aid kit, ready to use. * IT’S FALL AGAIN and there’s so much to do — places to go—people to see. And more and more people are finding that shopping by phone is a good way of saving time and energy to do the things that need do ing. Many stores today offer a telephone shopping service . . . their ads in the paper and the Yellow Pages of your telephone directory keep you in touch. So, next time you’re in a rush, don’t forget the biggest time-saver of all: your telephone. * * * REMEMBER, TOO, when you have a minute to spare ... and when you can’t spare a minute, THERE’S NOTH ING LIKE A HANDY EXTENSION PHONE! * * * "555-4729" "INFORMATION.ARE YOU SURE?" Don’t be surprised if Information give you a number with seven numerals and no letters. It may sound strange at first. But it’s the new kind of number we’ll all have in the future. Meanwhile, if you call Information for the number of anyone in Grover or Shelby who has moved recently, you may find they’ve been given a seven-digit number. This is one of the first steps locally in the change to “All Number Calling.” This new numbering system will permit telephone service to keep pace with population growth and increasing telephone usage. mma WHEN THE ENGINE MOVED FORWARD-WHOOSH I Underneath that gleaming hood nestles Buick’s mighty 401 cu. in. Wildcat V-8 and go-happy Turbine Drive — now both standard on full size Buicks! Moved forward, they give the ’62 Buick faster wheel response, amazing sizzle and stability Moves power forward for arrow-straight going (this beauty slices the air like an arrow—won’t wander even in a wind). And, as the power went forward, the frame went wider for dead level cornering...the floor inside went neatly flat for luxuri ous new leg room. And, talk about luscious interiors, lasting quality! See for your r'-.irp neuter's! 6?RUM DEAN BUICK Co. 118 S. RAILROAD AVENUE Kings Mountain. N. ft
