rThe clear, true red is picked up in the little sleevless cotton
' blouse, frosted with white piping and pearl buttons. A
mandarin collar adds interest. Katie, a soon-to-be-bride is

AP Newifeaturei Writer
What do you, as a parent, want
Johnny to gel out of his educa
tion? Are you the kind of parent who
husUes Johnny off to school and
then breathes a sigh of relief that
he Is out of your hair for a few
hours? Or are you the kind of par
ent who is concerned about what
Johnny Is learning and how he Is
learning and who is learning with
and by whom he is being taught?
These are Important questions to
ask yourself, in the opinion of one
child, who has two boys, and lives
In Scarsdale. New York, is a for
mer school teacher. She is a trust
ee and vice-president of the school
board In her district. Says she:
"It is impossible to spell out
what one wants In education for
one's offspring without clearly de
fining one's own beliefs and Inner
most hopes ... If you believe,
as I do, that the past experiences
and culture of man are a common
heritage and bond, that a know
ledge of the past is needed for
an interpretation of the present,
that education should employ the
techniques of modern science and
that It is the promise of a better
world, then you'll not denounce
modern education or the principles
on which It Is based.
"If you have faith In the ulti
mate triumph of world cooperation
o a world at peace, then you'd
expect and urge the schools to
shape your children's attitudes in
that direction. Because of your
trust In our form of society, you'd
Insist on your children living dem
ocratically at school. Because you
cherish freedom, you'd Insist on
your children's teachers being free
to teach within the framework of
a democratically conceived admin
istration and school system."
Turning to what alio wanted the
schools to do for her children, she
said. "I expect my boys to gain
a thorough knowledge of the basic
skills acquired by methods based
on a modern psychological ap
proach . . . While mastering the
3 R's I expect my boys to gain
many important concomitant learn
ings, such as experiences In under
standing to give and take of group
living and the responsibilities of
cltiienship in our democratio so
ciety, These understandings are
not develoled by reading about past
leaders nor bv hearing of the glor
ies of one's heritage, but rather
bv practicing patterns of behav
ior in group activities of the class
room. These patterns should ulti
mately call forth their own sense
of responsibility and need for group
cooperation, I hope my sons' at
titude will b Influenced by their
ganlsed along sound, democratio
principles. Such experiences in
school living should affect their ac
tions outside the school and In
adult life."
But group living Is not enough,
she points out. "Through tho use
of all the techniques and tools
available, I want their individual
abilities and talents developed to
the utmost ... I trust Uiey will
become fine splriual and moral
men. I am convinced that the day
to day contact wlUi finepeople in
their schools, their teachers land
other personnel) will furUier their
spiritual growth. For though I be
lieve the religious raining and mor
al development of my children Is
the responsibility of their InUier
and myself, fortified by their more
formal religious training, I do know
that teachers ..can give much
to my sons.
'The educational alms and goals
I hvo In mind for my children
can be accomplished In a school
system of not too large numbers,
with a community responsive to
and understanding of the alms and
technlaues of the school, and with
a school board wose policies give
freedom to carefully chosen educators."
Strong Hold
On Fashions
NEW YORK (NEA) The sep
arate skirt has a strong hold on
fashion. In current resort collec
tions, surface decoration Is stressed
and the variety in these decora
tions Is great.
Tho three-dimensional applique,
braid embroidery and raised ruch
Inas all are used as accents for
circle skirts. And, because these
full skirts look best when they're
teamed with tops designed for
them, coordinated tops and stoles
are also olfored.
Seperates, as shown In the cur
rent collections of de.iljiner Juli
Lynne Chariot of California, have
a one-piece look. This smooth ef
fect Is achieved through careful
fitting of tops and through use of
wide cummerbunds.
Hibiscus bloom down the front
of a circle skirt In black poplin.
The blossoms are In colored felt
and are layered to achieve a three
dimensional clfrct. The felt Is re
peated in a narrow strip at the
hemline.
NEW BLUEGRASS WILL
PROVIDE LUSH TURF
Home gardeners who spend the
summer waging bitter warfare
against orabgras and other warm
weather weeds will find a new ally
In Merlon Blucgrass, a remarkable
new turf grass developed by th
united states Ciull Association
green section.
Merton Bluegrass not only helps
rignt weeds, but offers a number
of other Important friitiires of
equal Interest to home gardenors.
Turf scientists have spent years
searching for a slriiln of blucgrass
resistant to lenfnnot dlaeuae a se
rious dlsense which often complete
ly wipes out new bluograss lawns
mm seriously cimnimri older lawns.
They were not successful until a
lenfspot resistant strain of blue
grass was discovered on the Mer
lon Country Club near Philadelphia
Perhaps far more Interesting to
Parlflo Coast home gerdenera timv
resistance to Icafspot is Morion's
ability to fight olf weed attacks.
Researchers report that Merlon not
only resists Invasions of orabgrasa
but, under proper manauemcnt, has I
even successfully crowded out crab
grass. Similar results have been
reported by the U.B. Department of
Agriculture.
Of only slightly less Interest to
over-worked gardeners 1 tho fact
that Morion doesn't require mow
ing as often as ordinary blueurnu.
D. V. T. Btoutmyor, division ot or
namental horticulture. University of
California, reports that "It (Merlon
umegrassi Slioiuil uo inuwru iiiugii
lower than ordinary blliegruss, and
we (Ind tlinl It lakes about twice
as long to grow to a given height, "
Most people like close-mown lawim

order to keep out cialigriiNS where
it Is prevalent, uiey nave oecn

Merlon thrives on close mowing
even In tho face of crabgrass competition.
