IF LAKE DALLAS AND ARGYLE join the trend

In many respects, this indicates another part of the .

ment is not quite true, for it’s evident Bartonville, '

cities. The Lake Dallas situation, long a center of dis- .
cussion, may have come to a peaceful conclusion be-
cause of the same reason.

aspects of a city most of us* think of whehw speak
of cities. But their residents apparently do have that

NEW YORK (AP)—Confessions

Seventeen years ago a strange
thing happened to me. I became

For nearly a year before that
I had been a simple barefoot war
reporter, eoverIng the battles in
North Africa and Sicily.
But just before we hit the shell-

DREAM ASSIGNMENT
Looking back now across the
years of semipeace. I realize that
a war, for all its boredom, fear
and danger of death, is a report-
er's dream assignment—for two
reasons:
1. .In the raw, bloody drama of
the battlefield, men show them-
selves as they truly are, and you
never run out of things really
worth writing about.
2. You have a ready-made au-
dience. The people back home are
desperately eager for every scrap
of information you can give them
about their men in far-off actions.
But victory quickly dissipates
the national unity forged in war.
In peace men go back to pur-
suing their separate and variable
goals; it becomes difficult for a
writer to find themes of common
interest to all.
I had the same trouble getting
back to normal life as millions of
GIs did. It took me a year of
traveling around the world after
1945 to get my column out of uni-
form and into civilian mufti.
THE INTEREST
For some reason many readers
are interested in a newspaper
By ROBERT C. ANDERSON
Director, Southern Regional
Education Board
Out of a national need for lead-
ership has grown American
awareness of one of her most val-
uable resources—the gifted and
talented children who will shape
Democracy's future.
This new awareness has shown
itself in numerous individual
school programs across the South.
But last month the Univeristy of
Virginia started the nation’s first
regional effort to provide state
educational leadership on behalf
of the gifted child
That effort is a regional project
to train those who will help map
educational policy for the gifted
children in Southern schools. It |
brought to the Virginia campus
representatives of state depart-
ments of education who have prov-
ed outstanding in their fields.
Those delegates will return to their
own states to establish state-wide
programs for the gifted, or take
initial steps in that direction.
TWO CONVICTIONS
The project is guided by two
main convictions. First, that a
stronger curriculum in Southern
high schools .is needed for gifted
students, and second, that better
cooperation between high schools
and colleges is essential for any
program to be effective.
This cooperative regional pro-
gram was made possible by a Car-
negie Corp. grant. It is a natural
step forward in the South’s grow-
ing concern over its gifted stu-
dents.
All over the region individual
Universities and school systems
have worked out programs to iden-
tify and train young people of
above average intelligence.
At Stetson University there is
a summer session called the
"Early Admission and Advanced
Studies Program at Stetson Uni-
versity.” Each summer for three
years the school has admitted 80
superior high school juniors to the
eight week program Here they
complete in eight weeks, two full
year courses—one in English and
one in mathematics or the Prob-
lem of American Democracy.

ed by the National. Science Teach-

business man can take to develop
successful field trip programs.,
with an eye to building good will.
Among the hints:
1. Set up a definite field-trip
program, with one person in
charge.
3. Distribute maps and brochures
of the company's history, purpos-
es and phylcal layout.
3. Give "open houses’’ for local
teachers, along with previews of
proposed trips for their students.
4. Develop evaluation sheets the
students can fill out.
Field trips range from the sim-
ple to the elaborate, but the stu-
dents always come in contact
with "real-life” situations.
