From The Files Of The Box Plea to Teachers 25 Editor: Dear Teacher, Im not a parent who has been mentally counting the minutes until the doors open for another year of school. Its hard to give my children up to you. Summer has been too short. You get my children during the choicest part of the day. They are alert and eager to learn from you and their classmates. I fear for them in the choices they make through this year. Will you please try to reaffirm the principles of respect for you and those in authority; respect for their country, its founders and its flag; and above all, a desire to respect themselves as children of great by the evil segment of this day that would wish for them a life of misery among those enslaved by disrespect, disobedience and drugs. I am not a perfect parent as you are not a perfect teacher but you must join me in seeing that we produce something better than either of us. Joann Penrod, Brigham City worth-unpollut- ed . al Years Ago This letter is in regards to all the talk on the news about women raiding mens locker rooms, etc., for equal rights. Today with all the problems and crisis we have to face, its a shame that we have to be put down by a few kooks, who are burning their bras and fighting for equal rights, among men and women. I cant help but feel sorry for the generation of women coming up that will never know how it feels to be treated like a lady and to know the real gentleness and strength of a man, if this equality ever becomes a reality. As for myself, and I am sure I share the views of millions of women, I would rather look to the man as the stronger of the sexes, one to turn to for protection, understanding, and help when needed. I still enjoy being treated like a lady, with men allowing me to enter first, opening doors, stopping to help if I am in trouble, and all the rest that women my age have enjoyed for so many years. I do believe in equal pay for equal work, but all the rest is crazy. I think that it is about time that we speak out in our own defense. Lets put men back where they belong. Just sign me proud to be a woman, and glad that men are still men. Sincerely Eula Thompson RFDNo. 1 Tremonton Fleeced, But Good Editor: I would certainly like to know how other parents feel this year about registering their sons and daughters in high school. I feel like I have been fleeced, but good, and do not feel the caliber of education nor the teaching education nor the teaching meuioas are that great. In fact, there are some teachers who do nothing but harm to the kids and they come out of the classes at the end of the year having learned little. If anyone wants to name names, certainly there are plenty of teachers who could be listed as marginal. My girls got into college for about the same amount it has taken my son to get into high school this year. And it isnt the end. Everyday some class wants a fee for something, and to top it off, they chose the first week to peddle school pictures. I really dont see how some parents with large families can afford to send their kids meeting Friday, Sept. of the Peach day committee was held last evening at the Commercial club rooms, and some of the details of the big celebration were threshed out. Chairman A.M. Hansen of the parade committee, announced that the parade will be a real feature of the day, and the business houses are giving loyal support to this part of the program. A wire has been received from Rex Smith stating that he will be here with his flying circus. Mr. Fitch of the U.S. Novelty company will be here on Peach day with his illuminated circus and his grand daylight and evening fireworks display. Recently Mr. W.H.

Spoc!c-- f, larked Generation Dr. Benjamin Spock, whose book, "Baby and Child Care," influenced the rearing of a generation of children in this country, spoke in Canberra, Australia, a month or two ago. In the course of his talk he told of an experience that he had when lecturing in a medical college in this country where he found that the attitude of the students toward authority any authority was such that it was almost impossible to control his class. He said that the very experience made him angry." However, though he admitted that his book had had a great influence in producing a "generation that won't be intimidated by authority for its own sake, he said that, if he were writing the book again, he wouldn't change it. Some people never learn. "By the Book" Spock's adopted atti- e was by many parents who tude toward child-rearin- g disapprove of. It is. of course, totally unfair to lump together all the members of one generation as if they were all alike. They are not. There - are many respectable, industrious, young people who are dedicated to achieving something worthwhile with their lives. But some members of the younger generation have given themselves over to destroying our society and they have had ah exceedingly unfortunate effect. One trouble is that they were brought up "by the book" the wrong book. There is another book which, if it had been used, would have produced an altogether different result. The Book to which I refer is the one which says, "Train up a level-heade- d ELDER ar Answer By Les Dunn, - Volunteers Director Volunteer Program The need for more individualized instruction in the classroom has long been recognized. Teachers have been burdened more and more each year by the responsibilities that are placed upon them. Each new program and each new responsibility that the schools accept places additional clerical or supervisory duties on the harried teacher, and as a result, she is forced into the role of part-tim- e teacher, secretary, bookkeeper, ticket-takecashier, etc., and the list lengthens each year. In spite of all of these difficulties the teachers have done and are doing an outstanding job. Something must be done, however, to release the teacher from many of these chores, and allow her to get about the job for which she is prepared non-teachi- r, time-consumi- teaching. 3. Employ 4. Recruit paid aides. and train volunteer aides. Choices one, two and three require additional funding, and money for education is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. The fourth choice appears to be the answer. By using volunteers, a school district finds that it has a broad spectrum in which to work, and the classroom can become a place where students are exposed to all of the skills and knowledge of the facilitate this individualized help, the school district is faced with four choices. It can: 1. Employ additional professional ORDER TO help. 2. Reduce the classroom load. Why is it that the wrong book was used by so many parents in rearing the present younger generation? Learn from Mistakes Primarily, it seems to me, there are two reasons. The first is fashion; it was fashionable, immediately after Dr. Spock's book was published, to follow Spock's advice, even though it was contrary to the best ex H. Bradbury that difficult time between adolescence and retirement when you have to take care of yourself. Middle age is IT WOULD BE impossible to list all of the tasks that volunteers might perform. However, there are five general areas where they might be utilized: 1. Teaching or instructional aides 2. Clerical aides 3. Supervisory aides 4. Resource aides 5. Library aides.

However, when we realize that our children are our most important product, parents and citizens alike should support this program with the same enthusiasm that other volunteer programs are supported.

The other reason is that the Book which contains the best counsel on how to rear children does not make the task seem easy. It calls on the parents to provide a good example for the children to follow. It points out that parents are responsible to "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Parents can't do this without first committing themselves to the Lord. Those who are unwilling to take this first step are unable to do what is required to be the kind of parents that their children ought to have. Let's learn from the mistakes of our past. Lets bring up our children by the Book and both we and God's Book our children will reap the benefits. emm opinion MOVILLE, IOWA, RECORD: One snowflake doesnt amount to much, but a whole skyful of them falling can stop a train.
