His continued pres ence in Boise School will con tinue to weaken and destroy the initiative of Black stu dents. When he says Boise school is not a school for white children, then I would won der why is it a good school for Black children. I think he has done almost irrepara ble damage to the adminis trative transfer program with his stereotyping. This could cause the uninitiated parents in receiving schools to think that every Black student that is transferred to their school is the epitome of what McCrea states. It could af feet white teachers in re ceiving schools who could have pre-conceived ideas re garding the incoming Black students and react accord ingly to every Black student.” Laura Glossen. a third grade teacher at Boise, also supported McCrea.

His concepts and Dr. Blanchard told the Observer Tuesday that he disagrees entirely with the ideas put forth by McCrea in the article and that he had asked the Area III Super visor, Ray Steed, to discuss the matter with McCrea and determine what was actually said. At the appropriate time Blanchard will take whatever steps he and his board deam necessary. Reaction from the com munity was unanimous in its criticism of McCrea's state ments. The NAACP, Bethel AME Church, the Urban league and the Observer have received a great number of calls from irate parents who feel their children have been slandered and from whites who wonder why this kind of educational philosophy is tolerated. One white par ent said “I wouldn't want a man with his stereotyped ideas teaching my child. I don't think he belongs in any Portland school.” (Continued from p.

Mrs. Nance, the school librarian, said that white children do have some prob lems at Boise and questions whether the school district ever considers the plight of the white child in the Black school. She questions the preparation of the Black child who goes to a white school, although it is acknowledge ment that he will experience some problems. She thinks Boise does have good teachers and offers quality education, and that any inequities are the result of a discriminatory Lee Baker, teacher, and N orveila Long, counselor, have seen great improve ments in Boise during the past three or four years, for which they credit McCrea. He believes Boise would be a different school if. rather than busing out the best stu dents, an equal number of white students had been bused into Boise. Now kids can look it up in their own Funk&Wagnalls. After 60 years of making encyclopedias for adults, Funk & Wagnalls has learned enough to make one for children. Ith called the Young Students Encyclopedia. And it's designed to do something more than just get them through the next homework assignment—to make them want to learn on their own. Instead of burdening your children with tons of forgettable detail, it appeals to their native curiosity. The article on A irplanes, for example, illustrates an experiment children can perform at home showing how things fly. There are hundreds of other drawings, games and puzzles that not only teach but provoke, involve and entertain in the process. In other words, it’s an encyclopedia children will actually use.They’ll also use it a long time. It’s designed to be simple enough for children just learning to read and comprehensive enough to serve until they’re ready for an adult encyclopedia.They can't outgrow it the way they do shoes. Which brings up another nice point about the Young Students Encyclopedia; ith intended exclusively to help children, nut it helps grown-ups too. First, it doesn’t put much of a dent in your budget. Since it’s sold direct to you through us, you can buy the complete 20-volume set a volume or two a week for only $1.69 each. And the first volume for the introductory price of a quarter. Second, it helps prevent you from doing what you shouldn't be doing anyway — your children's homework. It provides the answers; you just provide the encouragement.
