Mrs. Bishop (June) is the mother of two children, Ronald 11 years old and now in the 6th grade, and Sue Ann, ten, who is just finishing 5th grade.

I believe that it is the the span between everyday life duty and obligation of the Home, WHAT I EXPECT THE SCHOOLS TO' TEACH MY CHILDREN By Mrs. Merlin Bishop When I was in the 8th grade, a teacher defined education as That which is left after the facts we have learned in school have been forgotten. At that time, I thought that a good definition. Now, I believe education has a much broader meaning. For my children, I want not only facts to be remembered or forgotten, but much more. I believe a better definition of education is one from an old dictionary: Education is the training of the mental and moral powers, either by a system of study and discipline, or by the experiences of life; the knowledge, training, or ability gained in either of these ways. Education comprehends all that we assimilate from the beginning of our lifes in the development of the powers and facilities bestowed upon us at birth. Education then, extends into everything we do, whether it be learning how to work a scientific problem, or learning to work with a fellow student. Rest Roans To Do Dull!

To the schools, I would give the job of teaching my children the fundamental skills. But while theyre teaching these basic skills, I also would like them to keep in mind their social and moral and physical needs. Such things as SportsCitizenship, Personality, manship, Courtesy, Tolerance, the Social Graces, Physical and Mental Health are today important in a d education. This responsibility, of course, should - be shared by the Home. However, some aspects of character building may be better understood by the teacher than the parent. The teacher has the opportunity and ability to observe a child objectively. They are trained to teach. And most important, they have the child when he is most eager to learn. Also, there are times when the Home is inadequate and fails to fulfill its obligation to the child. For these reasons the school should assume a great responsibility in the character building of a child and act as a stabilizing influence in cases where the Home fails to provide such guidance. The welfare of YOUR children depends to a great extent on how well the needs of MY children are met and the welfare of OUR children depends on society as a whole. I believe a more intensive educational system covering all phases of human relationship as well as the basic skills is the answer to our problems today, Maxine Lewis Is DIIS Student Dody Proxy-Elect Maxine Lewis has been elected student president of the 1955-5- 6 body at Duchesne High School.
