No, despite the problems that do exist in our nation, it is still the best on earth, and the Thanksgiving season should give us a chance to give proper credit to our forefathers who established this great land. If nothing else, we should at least gain a determination to preserve the nation they built for us. But we have many other things to be thankful for here in this area of the nation. We. can be thankful we are somewhat isolated from rioting and turmoil. We can be thankful that, although we enjoy a community of mixed racial back- With the strife and throughout our nation and world today, one might find himself indulging in thoughts of self-piteven to the point of wondering what possible excuse people would have in celebrating and expressing Thanks this week. Can a person be truly thankful with things in such a dis-senti- on y, mess? True, so long as a person g holds a self-centere- fault-findin- d, attitude he can find very little for which to be thankful. However, one has only to open his eyes to his world of existance to realize the blessings that are his. For instance, as bad as conditions are played up to be in our great nation, would you choose another? Would you choose a European country, or a country in South America, where internal strife constantly poses a threat of governmental change, which in turn breeds military control and a curtailment of freedom? Or would you pick a country in Asia where living conditions are such that life expectancy is somewhat over 30 years? solve existing differences. This particular year, we can be extremely thankful for the bountiful harvest and the ideal fall season. This has indeed been a land of plenty. We do have a wonderful land one that provides us with security, peace and plenty. Lets never lose sight of the blessings we enjoy here, letting the prob- lems that do exist erase the age for good which our great nation reflects. im- Vernal since 1963, draws on a wide variety of experiences during his lifetime for subjects of his poetry.

Tuesday morning the TransEAgraM lunar landing module Intrepid II touched down on the "moons " surface. Guided by Instructions from "Mission Control the American flag was ceremoniously planted on the moon's surface. This Is just one of many experiences being enjoyed this year by Roosevelt elementary schools TransEAgraM class. The class was established for the first time this year to meet the needs of 15 specially selected 6- -7 year old students. This Is believed to be the only class of Its kind ln the state. Recent research indicated that a child of his will develop approximately 50 adult Intelligence by the age of four with another 30 coming by eight years. Researchers have found that a significant can be dechange of Intelligence rived through an enriched environment during early childhood. The more opportunities given to a child to make use of tils Intelligence, at an earlier age ln his life, the more he will be stimulated to learn. By Incorporating this Idea with Piaget's statement, "The more new things a child has seen and heard, the more he wants to see and hear, we have concluded that the desire and ability of a child to learn can be drastically changed by providing enriched experiences prior to the age of eight. We further believe that the amount of Increase of Intelligence during early childhood will be followed by a corresponding increase ln achievement during the formal learning years. Trans EAgraM has been organized by Dallas Murray, principal, as a class with a curriculum tailored to meet each childs needs, giving the teacher the opportunity to place learning experiences before each child ln a way ln which he will be receptive as well as successful. The children have liegun learning through simple experiences with basic concepts at his own level and are moving continuously to more complex planes. The children have direct contact, whenever possible with actual objects, and events, for example, their adventure into space they are given the opportunity to talk about, and put into writing, If they desire, their feelings and Interpretations of the experiences they have had. The name Is TransEAgraM since It is a TRANSltlonal ProGRAM based upon a Experience Approach to learning. From TransEAgraM comes, TEAM, which canotes the team, of home and school which is making development possible. In addition to encouraging his child at home each day a parent comes to the classroom to aid with the activities. A "lift off In each child's growth has already been evidenced.
