Parents Want to
Know What Child
Is Doing in Class
(editor's nott: Thii Is anothrr
tn a serifs of arlirlrs fiirntshrd
bv the National Education asso
ciation. Today's artirtr deals
with parents' desire to know
what the child is doing in class.)
Washington, D C. - It was
the end of the first week of
school. As the dismissal bell
rang, the little first - grader
caught her teacher's hand.
'Please. Miss Brown," she
said, "will you tell me what
I learned today? Every night,
my Daddy wants to know.'"
Wanting to know what is
happening to and for his child
in the unfamiliar world of
school is tiic hallmark of
every parent. It's written all
over his crisp or cagey ver
sion of the question . . . "and
what did you do in school to
day?" Actually a child brings
home a report card every day,
according to the National
Education association. Some
times, though, the parent has
to turn sleuth to be able to
read it.
If he bursts through the
door singing lustily, she can
deduce that it's been a good
day at school; and a little
later, if she plays her cards
right, she may find that he's
going to read Amahl's lines
in the puppet opera, or that
he made A in a science test.
Bad Day Figuring
Figuring out why he's had
a bad tiny - or a series of them
- takes more than a "Spoclc"
of genius, however. He may
give it away In conversations
with his friends ("I don t sec
why that old teacher gets so
sore when a guy loses his
spelling list"), or by the draw
ings and tests and written
work he doesn't bring home.

Special Understanding
You take to such a con
ference your own special
understanding of what Johnny
is like at home. The teacher
brings her Insight into what
he's like away from home.
Everybody gains.
You may be surprised to
find how much the teacher
knows about you. especially if
your child is still in the pri
mary grades. She knows
whether you're getting a new
convertible or a divorce or a
visit from relatives, when
you're going to move, and
where you buy your hats.
She'll want your advice.
She may ask you such ques
tions as: What school activi
ties does Johnny talk about
at home? What are his play
materials? Does he have any
home responsibilities? What
kind of discipline does he
respond to? What kinds of
things does he enjoy at home
with the family? What do you
consider his real strengths?
Honest answers to questions
like these will enable her to
plan her teaching of Johnny
more effectively, and will
provide clues for you to work
with her to help him over
any rough spots.

Ohio Democrat
Wants Increased
Defense Spending
Washington - IUPD - S e n .
Stephen Young (O-Ohio) says
Congress should vote $2 bil
lion over what the adminis
tration wants for defense be
cause President Eisenhower is
not "up to date" on American
military needs.
Young, known for his out
spoken comments both on and
off the Senate floor, said he
felt there was "a feeling of
smugness in this administra
tion that President Eisenhow
er is the last word of authority
on defense."
"... I think that warfare
has so changed that he is not,"
Young declared.
The Ohio Senator voiced his
views as the Senate recon
vened for a post-convention
bobtail" session.
Young said he thought Con
gress should get busy and ap
propriate the extra defense
money during the next three
weeks so that this country
can move faster in trying to
catch up with the Russian
missile and spaca lead.
Kennedy Would Close Gap
It would not surprise me
at all," he said, "if the Rus
sians attempt to place a man
on the moon before the end
of the year."
Young said that if Sen. John
F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) was
elected president this Novem
ber, he would do away with
this 40-hour week in missile
development and rocketry"
and close the missile gap with
in "a couple of years."
The Ohio Senator, turning
to the international scene, said
he didn't favor formal diplo
matic recognition of Red
China but felt this country
could still trade with them
and possibly get rid of some
surpluses.
There s a market for the
products of American farms
and factories," he said. "Doing
business with the Chinese and
trading our products does not
imply recognition of the Red
Chinese government."
Young said also that he be
lieved Red China must be in
cluded in any international
agreement for disarmament
and a nuclear test ban.

Both Fast, Slow
Drivers Are Menace
The non conformist driver
who picks his own speed re
gardless of traffic conditions
is a "menace to all others on
the road," Medford Chief of
Police Charles Champlin said
today.
"Tlie driver who goes to
fast causes accidents," Champ
lin said, "and the driver who
goes too slow contributes to
traffic congestion which, in
turn, increases the possibility
of accidents on crowded city
streets and heavily-traveled
highways."
He added, "Both the speedy
and the pokey driver need to
adjust their speed to traffic
conditions."
"A driver who adjusts his
speed to traffic conditions is
one who keeps pace with the
flow of traffic. Ideally, if all
drivers followed this practice,
there would be little need for
anyone to pass other vehicles,
and our accident rate would
plummet."
