NORA IVANS LOCKHART Retired School Priacioel I believe thot man must become more productive if he expects to survive. There Is scarcity on oil fronts - energy, fresh oir, food, water, jobs, money, housing, wholesome recreation and much more. The survive! of the fittest is rapidly becoming the humon wotchword. And whose responsibility is it to grow this crop of "fittest" human beings? May we begin with the home ond the schools. Homes provide the school population - the good, the bod ond the indifferent. The school then has the dubious tosk of leoding these individuols into paths of useful citizenship, o useful citizen who performs sotisfactorily in society. Schools moy be willing and eager to shape the youth committed to their guidance into individuals with wholesome life styles, but if the curriculum offerings ore so limited that the wide voriety of needs ore not met, pupils wifi not remom in school and society will be forced to obsorb persons with no preporotion to cope. Consider the thousonds of youths in North Corolino who for 0 variety of reasons become high school drop-outs and the odditionol thousands who are awarded high school diplomas, but never enter college. These persons could be better prepared to use their full potentiol os productive members of society if more emphasis had been placed on troining their hands with their heads ond heorts. This special training should not be ossigned to separote Outside institutions; it should be a more integral part of the regulor public school program. My plea is for the inclusion of courses in the regulor junior and senior high «Sec TO STRENGTHKN, P, 2) MRS. NORA I.
