Teachers Asked to Help
Reduce School Drop-Outs
Business-Education
Day Plans Reviewed
I Missing Family
i Reported Safe
The Jackson County School
Superintendents' association has
adopted a resolution urging all
teachers and school adminis
trators to make every effort to
prevent school drop-outs.
This supports action taken by
six nation educators' associa
tions recommending all those in
the teaching profession contact
at least one student who indi
cates he may drop out of school
and persuade him to continue
his high school education.
In a joint statement, the or
ganizations suggested that edu
cators make direct contact with
potential school drop-outs and
their parents to convince them

that the schools and all those
who work in them do care and
that they owe it to themselves
and then world to continue in
school and to graduate."
Estimates nationally show that
about 300,000 young people can
be expected to drop out ol
school this summer.
Professional o r g a n i zations
making the joint statement were
the American Association of
School Administrators, Associ
ation for Supervision in Curric
ulum Development, Department
of Classroom Teachers, Nation
al Association of Secondary
School Principals, Department
of Elementary School Principles
and the National Education As
sociation. President Kennedy in his re
cent conference with educators
recognized the drop-out prob
lem as one of the critical edu
cational issues, County School
Superintendent Alf B. Mekvold
said.
Children Required
To Attend School
All children between 7 and 18
years old are required to spend
an entire term in a public school
near where the child resides,
according to Oregon law, Coun
ty School Superintendent A 1 f
Mekvold has reminded area res
idents. First responsibility for such
school attendance is upon the
parent, and then upon the school
administrator, it was explained.
Some exemptions from com
pulsory school attendance are:
legally employed children be
tween 16 and 18 when release
has been secured from the
school administrator, high
school graduates, children being
taught in private or parochial
school, children who are abnor
mal or are physically unable to
attend school, when distance
from school bus route or school
makes attendance "unreasonable."

ucation day will be held Thurs

nessmen in the history of the
