Parents, Relax! Let Junior Do His
Own Homework Study Panel Advises
“Don’t do Junior's home-work
for him,” was the plea to parents
made at Wednesday evening's meet-
ing of Citizens Committee For Bet-
ter Schools. It doesn’t do Junior
any good, and it deprives him of a
sense of achievement which is
necessary to his mental growth.
Times have changed in teaching,
and the approach to mathematics is
different from the approach of even
ten years ago. So-called “help”
may in fact hinder, because it is
confusing.
Combined with the panel discus-
sion program moderated by Dr.
Irvin Jacobs, and comprised of Mrs.
Louise Prothero and Robert Somer-
ville from Dallas Senior High
School; - Frederick Case, Mrs. Lena
Moore, William Morgan, and Miss
Esther Saxe from the Junior High
School; plus William A. Austin,
elementary supervisor, was election
of officers to be installed in Jan-
uary. { :
On the slate presented by Mrs.
Thomas Vernon were these names:
chairman, Morris Slater; vice chair-

The next meeting was set for
January 8, at Dallas Senior High
School. The subject is English.
During the panel discussion and
the question period following, the
new approach to mathematics was
explained. Enrichment work on all
levels was described as a challenge,
more complex problems developing
greater depth of understanding.
Material in this type of work is
being used to some degree by ele-
mentary = school teachers, with
every effort made to up-date in-
struction, and testing for spot-weak-
ness.
Junior High mathematics in the
seventh grade is a review of basic
material with emphasis on practical ;
application, and encouragement to-
ward discovery of intriguing things
about numbers. It bridges the gap
between arithmatic and algebra, a
required subject for college prepara-
tion. “Pure mathematics” is taught
in an entirely different manner.
Possibility of accelerated courses
in math was discussed. Dr. Robert
A. Mellman said it hinged on the
number of students capable of
handling such advanced work.
Southwest Florida
Needs Tractor Men
‘Warner Moss, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Myron Moss of Broadway, is
advertising in this issue for tractor
drivers for a big south west Flor-
ida vegetable farm for ‘which he
is manager. There are a lot of in-
ducements. Warner says four or
five young men could*share quart-
ers, with expenses held to a min-
imum. Salaries are good. Tractor
driving is tough. work, and so what
of it? Lots of time for a winter
vacation along with the work.”
The fall crop is now being pol-
ished off, and the winter crop in
preparation. Return home could be
either in March, or in June. Sounds
like a good deal. Tomatoes, pep-
pers, cucumbers, already sent to
northern markets, and more to
come. Home in time to raise a
crop in the Back Mountain.

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1961
They All Agree
On The Front Row
Arch Austin says he really doesn’t
need a subscription to the Dallas
Post. He's got a subscription. He
says make it a jug of cider instead.
Arch called at 10 a.m. on Thursday.
Arch is in a position to know
everybody in the Beaumont graduat-
as assistant principal that year.
Left to right, front row, are Ar-
nold Wright, Thelma Patton, Millie
Devens, Conrad Hilbert.
Standing are Irene Clark, Lela
Weaver, Ruth Clark, Althea Landon,
Eleanor Bowen.
Mildred Devens called at noon
with the same identification.
Everybody agreed on the front
row, but there were some disagree-
ments on the names of those stand-
ing.
Arch had to think twice, remem-
bering there were two Clark girls in
the class.
At 2 p.m. Irene Clark Dymond
called with the correct identification.
Grace Cave called at 2:40.
Mrs. Francis Schenck, Noxen, nee
Letha Crispell, had herself and
Celeste Levitt in the back row.
Somebody had Lois London instead
of Althea Landon. Mrs. Mary Hop-
fer, Noxen, had Letha Crispell in
the back row.
At 4 p.m. Mrs. Paul Nulton called
with the correct list.
At 4:30 Alma Grey called. Mae
Sickler called from Noxen, but too
late to get a subscription or even a
pink ribbon.
The office closes officially at 4:30.
But at 5 p.m. Clara Smith Rifen-
berry was on board, all OK.
Somebody who should really
know, sent in the correct list by
letter Monday morning, signing her-
self Althea Landon Jones, Pittston.
Another letter, enclosing both
picture and identification, came
from Mrs. Charles Patton, in.Bing-
hamton. Mrs. Patton asked that
if she was the first to correctly
identify, the Dallas Post should be
sent to Mrs. William MacMillan in
Noxen. Sorry, Mrs. Patton. Arch
Austin beat you to it by phone
right after the paper was published.

Troop 200 met at the home of Mrs.
‘Oliver Rome, chairman, on Novem-
ber 29.
Plans were discussed for a pos-
sible trip to Gettysburg. It was
decided to ask for permission for a
one-day money-making project.
Problems of the troop were dis-
cussed and parents were urged to
do all possible to encourage the girls
to stay in Scouting until many of
them have earned their Curved Bar
and First Class pins.

to Dallas Methodist Church in ap-
preciation of its patience and gen-
erosity in allowing the troop to meet
in one of the Church rooms. The
troop would like the public to know
that it has never had such a lovely
meeting place and its hat goes off

Winter Peril

“This is the worst time of the

Two near fatalities last week
prompted the Commission’s * state~
ment. Faulty exhaust systems forced
deadly gases into vehicles overcom-
ing their drivers parked in service
\ areas. Prompt aid by state police
and turnpike employees “were at-
tributed as saving the lives of both
motorists.
“We have no idea how many driv-
ers are involved in accidents be-
i cause of leaky exhausts,” Roberts
said. Turnpike reports show .that
more than half of the accidents so
far this year involved but one ve-
hicle. So
Roberts said that motorists should
have exhaust systems checked prior
to winter months and at-all times
drive with an open window. =
Officer-collectors at the 38 inter-
changes on the turnpike have béeh
