As the end of the scholastic year dsnarwis nearer, some kidis are happy and anxious for that final day. Yet, as unblievable as it may seem, there are some students that honestly dread he final days of school. They are the ones who really enjoy receiving an education and have made a success of the year, by having learned much and enjoying it. Still there are the group of kids left, who look toward the last days of school as nothing but an enormous maze of tests' and exams. They are right, but the proper attitude is an optim- Advancing the mental health haven't you Fortunately, there are pro- grams and services which serve as examples and illustrate at least some of the kinds of ac- tivities we need to he'p children in our communities. Here are two examples of how our children's mental health can be helped. "Jackie is a lonely boy, I think he needs a friend," a welfare worker tells the staff of the WinoosM Family Consultation Service in Monltpelier, Vermont. Or, a teacher may report: "Sue is an She's the youngest of a large family, who all constantly tear her down If one of your student volunteers could ' help her to feel better about herself, I'm sure her school work would be better, too." In this volunteer work in Vermont, students from nearby colleges give troubled children, at home, an experience in friend ship by serving as a big brother or sister. A staff member from the Family Service discusses the student's assignment with him, then goes along to introduce him to the family. The young volunteer, who responds spontaneously to the children usually becomes a very welcome family friend. In this rural area, the volunteers who give troubled children a therapeutic experience in friehdlship perform a valuable service and one that has proved especially helpful for young children.

It is not hard to recapture the excitement and enthusiasm we felt for the school programs and special interest goups, the Headstant program, the special aids and sevices provided under Titles 1 and 3 .of the Federal Aid to Education program, and to other programs explained to us. The new methods of teaching and the new curriculum are exciting. The overall praise and respect we have for those people working in this vital, great educational industry is deeply felt. The realization that there is a communication pan between the people, parents and business, and the school system is much in evidence.
