Tutoring program needs help
by Harris Levon McRae
The H ost program , which p ro
vides tutoring in reading to the stu
dents o f Humboldt school, is in des
perate need o f tutors.
“ The people in the com m unity
really need to know that there are a
lot o f kids reading far below their
grade level. Come in and observe,
and you will see how really deprived
some o f these children are. H a lf an
hour o f tutoring is all we ask. You
work with the same child every week
and the children really enjoy know
ing the tu to rs ," said Renee Banks,
coordinator o f the Host program.
The program is funded through a
district grant. Books and supplies
are paid for but the tutoring is on a
voluntary basis.
“ A p paren tr* people want to ge’
paid fo r tu to rin g , but there is no
funding available. Out o f 23 tutors,
only two or three are Black. We are
doing everything we can to encour
age people from the neighborhood
to come and help out. We sent let
ters out to many o f the businesses in
the area and so far we haven't got
ten any response. We had flyers
made up, we have called people on
the telephone— all with very little re
sponse," Ms. Banks said.
"People always talk about what is
happening to our children in the
school system, but when it comes
time to get involved, no one shows
u p ," Janet Bailey, instructional aide
of the Host program, added.
A ccording to M s. Banks, every
child should have one-on-one tutor
ing fou r days a week for h a lf an
hour.
“ W e have 40 students and every
child should have a tutor every day.
Most o f the time the people that tu
tor are only able to give an hour or
so o f their time and then you d o n 't
see them u n til the next week. In
some cases we have 3th graders tu
toring other kids. W e start at 9 in
the morning and have six half-hour
tim e slots. W e usually finish up
about a q u a rtc r-to -tw o ,” Renee
Banks said.
Even the children that don’t have
daily tutoring are showing a lot o f
progress but course more im prove
ment can be made if the children re
ceive daily tutoring.
“ For the polioe officers that want
to really show support for this com
munity, this is an ideal situation to
do it. Firem en, business people,
anybody who wants to get involved
can find a place here,’ ’ M s. Bailey
said.
Parents and people with an extra
half-h o ur who are tlu ly concerned
about helping children learn to read
should call 281-8797.

Quadripartite
Mental-Fitness
The whole o f all you think and do will be progressing through the following
four stages. At the moment you become conscious o f whatever you may be
doing, it will be reflected from one o f these four stages, and they are:
1)
The IDEA stage or (imagination stage)
2)
The IMPLEMENTATION stage or (developmental stage)
3)
The REALITY stage or (provable form and position stage)
4)
The RESULT stage or (total image and performance stage)
Knowing and understanding these four stages o f linear progression is in part
what QUADRIPARTITE MENTAL-FITNESS is all about.
