“ Teaching is one of the most
future-oriented of all occupations,”
said Morrow County Education
Association P resident, Sarah
Carlson in announcing the obser
vance. “ C lassroom teachers
are charged with preparing today’s
young people for the society and the
economy of the next century. How
well they do that will determine the

after school days are over. Each of
us can remember a special caring
teacher who gave us direction or a
desire to achieve-a teacher who
helped determine our future,”
Carlson commented.

‘‘Financing a College Education, ’’
a new booklet from the Money
Management Institute of Household
International, can help almost
anyone wondering how to manage
the costs involved-parents hoping to
assist their offsping, high schoolers
attempting to make it on their own,
college students unable to make ends
meet, and even graduates confronted
with student debts.
"Financing a College Education”
contains a wealth of information for
high school students on ways they
can meet some o f the costs
themselves. According to Carol Ben
nett, Morrow County Extension
agent, the booklet explores the types
of financial aid offered by the federal
and state governments, colleges,
businesses and community groups.
Because college costs go well
beyond tuition, fees, and room and
board, today’s students will ap
preciate the section on setting up a
budget and handling checking ac
counts and credit cards. Further
more, there’s help for graduates who
must cope with repayment of student
loans and other budgeting concerns.
A glossary of terms and list of sug
gested resources are also provided.
The booklet was developed by
money management specialists and
written in consultation with experts
in education, business and govern
ment. To obtain a copy send $1.25
and your name and address to:
