Upward of 64,000,000 young
people of all ages are ex-
pected to pour into the na-
tion’s school rooms come the
r start of the new fall term,
| just a few weeks away.
Pressure of numbers will
be felt mostly in the metro-
| politan areas, but few, if any,
i school districts will experi-
ence no problems, especially
i at the elementary and secon-
- + dary school levels.
The enormous total—larg-
est in history—includes some
8,778,000 headed for college.
Preview of New Term Cites Role Parents
Must Play in Preparing For It
All schools, no matter the
age group served, whether
they are public or private
have suffered seriously finan-
cially this past year.
Grave concern is noted
among thoughtful parents,
and involved educators, over
lack of governmental support
for education at all levels.
Cooperation between con-
cerned parents and educators
in getting the support neces-
sary for improvement of the
American System of educa-
tion becomes essential to the
future of the nation.
Meanwhile, as the new
school term approaches, a
more intimate dialogue be-
tween parents and their chil-
dren can go far toward ad-
vancing their schooling.
Educators have caught the
message beamed from the
vastly more knowledgeable
and observant youth—of all
ages—today and have moved
to do things about it.
The turbulence appears to
have moved downward into
the high school level where
susceptible adolescents work
off their teen-age energy in
sometimes disturbing ways.
But this, too, is expected to
pass as parents join with
educators in solving such
things asthe ““drug’’ problem.
At the very important ele-

mentary school level, reach-
ing down into the nursery
schools, the “open school-
room” is spreading as a
means for engaging the nat-
ural curiosity of the child to
enjoy learning.
This is a replacement for
the traditional formalized”
type of teaching of the past
with its discouraging dull-
ness and monotony.
Parents preparing their
children for school this fall,
may achieve best results. for
them by being “‘with it.”

For Camera-Carrying Teen Students
As a new school year snaps
into focus, legions of camera-
carrying teen-agers will be
clicking away, preservingfor-
ever the life, the style, the
people they see around
them, and their school.
Photography has become a
very ‘real’ interest of this
younger set, many of whom
belong to 8,000 high school
camera clubs, are school an-
nual and newspaper photog-
raphers or are just students
who enjoy taking pictures.
To many of these young
people, photography is their
chance to express how they
feel about life and the times.
It teaches them to “‘see’’ bet-
ter. It lets them “tell it like
it is” from their point of view,
to be creative and perhaps
win national recognition.
A national contest that has
been attracting thousands of
teen-age photo entries annu-
ally for over 40 years is con-
ducted by Scholastic Maga-
zines, Inc., and for the past
nine years has been spon-
sored by the Eastman Kodak
Company.
This contest is open to stu-
dents in grades seven through
12 and 224 cash prizes are pre-
sented, inclusive of two—
$1,000 and $500—cash scholar-
ship awards.
