At the beginning of the ninth

cide at least tentatively whether to
prepare for college, a business ca-

ed trade.
If you child is certain he does
not want to go to college but does
want a business or technical or 1

while to let him commute to the
nearest city where appropriate
training is available. But if a
youngster is undecided about what
he wants to do after high school,
the college preparatory course is
probably the best choice.
Subjects studied in the ninth ,
grade are considerably more dif-
ficult on the whole than those stud-
ied in the seventh and eighth
grades. All pupils continue to stu-
dy English. Pupils who find the se-
lections too difficult may acquire
a lasting dislike for serious litera-

parents have a right to this type

STUDY THOSE GRADES
Any parent who sincerely wants
his child to get a good education
will study each report card care-
fuly and discuss it with his young-
ster. Most report cards carry a
notation asking parents to discuss
the card with the school authori-
ties. Do you accept that invitation?
If you do, you are the exception.

On Closing A School:
Things To Consider
DENTONITES who have children in the Center
Point School on the city’s south side probably did not
’ relish the Board of Education’s decision to hold a pub-
lic hearing on a proposal to close the school
Last year the proposal to cut out the school cafe-
terias which don’t pay their way brought some Center
Point residents to their feet to protest. Their school
cafeteria would have been affected but a way was fi-
nally found to finance the Jupch program.
The school cafeteria problem at Center Point last
— year is just one on a series of problems any .smal
school faces, no matter where it is. Thats why its
hardly possible—or fair—for other taxpayers in the
school district to pay the out-of-proportion expenses
needed to maintain a school of 40 students in six grad-
es when other schools are needing more teachers?
School officials say the 40 at Center Point asily could
be taken care of at Robert E. Lee School, which is
situated in an area not experiencing rapid residential
growth. ... . ,
It's unpleasant to think of closing any school, no
matter what size. But we hope the residents in the
Center Point area will think of those besides themselves
when they ponder the merits of the proposal that will
be considered Monday.
scholastic program. He needs all
the encouragement you can give
him. A large number of pupils
leave school at the beginning of
the 11th grade. They give all sorts
of reasons but seldom admit the
most common one, inability to do
the work.
We all want our own children
to take a good high school pro-
gram, with courses in general ed-
ucation as well as specialised ones.
President - Emeritus James—B.
Conant of Harvard makes these
recommendations: "Each child
should be required to take four
years of English, three or four
years of social studies (including
two years of history) a senior
course in American problems or
American government, one year
of science (biology or general phys-
gestion because it was not feasi-
ble.
He thought the sending of a rock-
et to the moon quite feasible.
We are willing to do everything
feasible to defeat communism.
Since the materials are avail-
able, building the hut is feasible.
Possible, practicable and feas-
ible, are synonymous.
However, many things are pos-
sible which are not feasible, as, It
is possible to build a house with-
out nails, but It is not feasible.
Feasible refers to the ease
with which something may be done
and implies a desirability for do-
ing it, as, This plan is the most
feasible.
helping youngsters to appreciate
their quality.
College preparatory students
usually take biology, taught as a
laboratory science. Many pupils
enjoy the laboratory work, but fail
the final examination. Parents can
help by discussing the subject,
showing youngsters how to take
notes and review, having quit
games on scientific subjects, and
arranging field trips.
A good many schools now re-
quire college preparatory students
tir tike~maihomatlcs in the ninth
grade. They usually take elemen-
tary algebra. Encourage your
child to play with mathematical
puzzles and riddles. The nation’s
need for trained mathematicians
and the rich opportunities await-
ing them should be pointed out.
College preparatory students
at the rate of 394 billion dollars
and individuals pay 38% billion in
federal income taxes and corpora-
tions pay-atax bffl of 20% billion.
America is a land where the
typical family has a one-family
home or apartment, quite a con f
treat to the Soviet Union where
in the big cities, at least, four or
more families may have to crowd
into one apartment, with one
bathroom.
In Pittsburgh Khrushchev will
see something which may be in-
comprehensible to him and which
he would never permit: a strike
which has shut down 85 per cent
.of America's vital steel produc-
tion and has kept 500,000 men
idle three months Tuesday.
There are other things Khrush-
chev may learn as he bounces
around America.
There are 4.600.000 individual
businesses; 914,000 miles of paved
highways; . 59 million passenger
cars and 12 million trucks and
buses drinking about 54 billion
gallons of gasoline a year, with
114 million cars, truck and buses
expected by 1978. Another little
note: 96 per cent of the nation’s
51 million.households have one or
more TV sets.
But it is America's farmland
and farm production—particular-
ly corn, which is close to his
heart—that may make Khrush-
chev’s eyes hug most.
FARM OUTPUT
In the U.S S.R. half the 308 mil-
lion people live on farms. Here
only about 30 million people--
around 11 per cent of the 176,000-
000 population—are on farms.
American farm output per man
has doubled since 1947.
Crops this year are expected to
be the second greatest in history
—1958 set the record—but this
year com production will break
all records.
American farmland is Worth
135 billion; farmers' cash Income
last year from selling their pro-
ducts was 30 billion.
The livestock, if Khrushchev
could see it all, would blind him:
94 milion beef cattle, 99 million
of all kinds of cattle. If he's in-
terested in chickens, here's an
item- there are 383 million chick-
ens laying 60 billion eggs.
One rather reliable indication
that a youngster is having trouble
in schoolis repeated truancy. If a
"talking to" doesn't bring about
an improvement, perhaps the
youngster should transfer to anoth-
er school, or find courses more in
line with his interests. Perhaps he
could go to boarding school.
There is another major cause of
failure in high school: neglect of
practice in the basic skills pf read
Ing, spelling, arithmetic and writ-
ten English. High school pupils

SAVANNAH EVENING PRESS
Proofreading is one of the most
difficult and thankless chores con-
nected with the old and honorable
art of printing. Since Gutenberg it
has remained as one of the major
problems of the craft, and one
which thus far has stubbornly re-
sisted efforts of mechanization.
The detecting and corection of
typographical errors can be a par-
ticularly perplexing problem in
newspaper production with its
stringent time limitations. The
most carefully composed and
proofread page of type has a way
of running the production gauntlet
with a ridiculous little fluff remain-
ing intact, sticking out like a sore
thumb in the finished product.
And just- as everybody is quali-
fied to run a baseball game, man-
age an election campaign and
write an advertisement, so are
they qualified to read proof. As a
test at_preofreadlng acumen,
we offer the following paragraph:

nothing is. But it is unusual. If you

may find out, but I’m not going to
assist you in any way — you must
do it without coaching. No doubt

How To Adjourn
Now there's another crusade going in Congress. This
one would rid the hallowed halls of spittoons.
Now we don’t know of a better crusade Congress
could tackle these days.
After all. it wasn’t so long ago that somebody in
the Post Office Department got brazen enough to rid
all the post offices of spittoons. All that happened
about the time ball point pens replaced duck quills or
something.
Since then, the antique dealers and other super
salesmen have gone wild over using the spittoons as
flower pots. It’s really quite chic, they tell us, to put
that devils ivy in a highly polished brass spittoon.
Maybe if Congress had debated this issue, the South-
erners and Sen. Morse would have been quiet and then
the solons could have adjourned sooner.

or hoodlum roles. Gifted With one
of the most memorable faces in
show business, his problem has
been to make his name as well

A peaceful man by nature who
served as an armament officer in
World War II, Eddie is a former

WASHINGTON (AP) - That
dreamer of Soviet dreams, Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev, comes
whizzing into America at a time
when he says “fairy tales are be-
coming a reality” for mankind.
He himself—thanks to 30th cen-
tury magic—comes in a jet as
smooth as a flying carpet to a
land which, when he looks
around, will seem like a fairy
tale turned true.
He descends out of the skies
into the most prosperous country
in the history of man. But it is
not a simple land, nor a perfect
one. Khrushchev could under-
stand that, since the Soviet Union
ia a country of contradictions,
too.
This is a land which prides it-
self on the slogan—“All Men Are
Created Equal"—but which never
completely believed or practiced
it, and still doesn't. Witness the
segregation of Negroes, the pre-
judice against Jews and Catho-
lics.
Khrushchev could understand
that, also. In the U.S.S.R anti-
Semitism has run deep—even
deep in blood.
FREE TO WORK
This is a land where men are
free to work, quit or strike but
where the overwhelming number
97 million, prefer to work. But
still a land where, despite all the
riches and resources, 3,438.000
are unemployed. And yet a land
where beggars are few, thanks to
the various government aids
created painfully over the years
amid much dispute.
This is a land which was
shocked by the Soviet display of
scientific genius—in the Sputniks
and the moonshot—but which is
doing much less than it can af-
ford in education. The U. S. Office
of Education says 300,000 more
teachers and 130,000 more class-
