ROCKET BY MISS SALLY SMITH Miss Sally Smith, teacher, launched this rocket when she fired an interest in mathematics in a sixth-grade boy, thirty years ago. Behind the genius of each person who has contributed In some real measure to today’s science, technology and the arts is the kindling spark of some good teacher like Sally Smith. But, to the fifty, sixty and more teachers who work with a child, we owe much more than only in spiration given to the gifted. For included, too, in their daily task of education is instilling purpose in the disin terested ... pointing out the right path to the unruly ... and encouraging every youngster to greater effort. Pennsylvania is indeed fortunate from an educational standpoint. It has teachers of the highest caliber. It has grammar and high schools that are among the nation’s finest. It has a community of universities and colleges that put our state in the very forefront. American Education Week, if nothing else, should re* mind us of the great and real debt we owe our teachers. In fact, in this modem day it is difficult to overstate the value of education. For we now live in a world where a high level of education is a requirement to continued national existence. Let us, as citizens, therefore recognize this debt and fully accept our responsibilities for the further ance of American education. American Education Week Plant Food Co. Ph. Lane.
