Expert Advises Parent
To Solve Problem Now

This is the time of the year
to give careful consideration to
your child's class placement for
September. Does your child have
special needs which should be
brought to the attention of the
school?
It is possible the school will not
be aware of situations existing in
the home which might affect the
proper choice of teachers. A par
ent should inform the school of
any physical difficulties such as
rheumatic fever, visual delects,
or hearing handicaps. Social prob
lems with classmates are im
portant. Let the school know if
father or mother is away from
home for extended periods of
time.
Sometimes placement with a
particular teacher presents a con-
flict. This could occur when a
teacher is a social friend of the
family.
There are many factors which
are valuable in making a place
ment decision. These should be
indicated either to the teacher,
guidance counsellor, or principal.
The principal is in the best posi
tion to match children's needs
with a teacher best qualified to
handle them.
Another important decision is
that ol retention, promotion, or
acceleration. Tliis should not be
considered as a reward or pun
ishment. Unfortunately many peo
ple look at it in just that way.
Actually the purpose is to serve
the best interests of the child
Each case must be weighed
separately. There is no rigid rule
which holds true for all individ
uals. A careful evaluation by the
teacher, school psychologist, prin
cipal, and parent is necessary.
The school philosophy and pro
gram must be involved in these
decisions. In most schools the
policy is flexible and based upon
the judgment of the professional
staff.
If your child is having diffi
culty, find out why. This will
often give a clue to the correct
decision. A physical difficulty
snouia oe Drought to the atten
lion of a physician. Psycholoei
cal problems should also receive
therapy. Sometimes tutoring is
needed in one or more academic
areas. No decision will be fullv
helpful unless the cause of the
problem is traced.
One of the most important
problems involved in promotion
is trusti ation. A child who
placed in a grade where the work
is too difficult will be facing im-
iwssible tasks. He may become
discouraged as he realizes that
he has no chance for success. A
child in this situation may lose
confidence. He may seek atten
tion by becoming a behavior
problem or he may become shy
aim retiring, m any case the re
sults are usually serious emo
tional and social problems. Ob
viously a child should be placed
where he has the opportunity to
e successlul.
The school wants to place the
child properly. You can be help
ful if you supply information that
is applicable. Close cooperation
Between parents and school will
be of major benefit to the child

Former Demo Chairman
Reaches 75th Birthday
NEW YORK (UPII - Former
Democratic National Chairman
James Aloysius Farley celebrated
his 75th birthday Thursday, hav-
ng proved that he is one Knight
of the Bath who is not ready to
throw in his towel.
Farley, still erect, handsome
and vigorous, gave credit to his
almost daily visit to the Biltmorel
Hotel Baths for keeping him in
the pink. He had a birthday
party with his three children and
10 grandchildren Thursday, but
Wednesday Farley was toasted at
a party of cronies in the steam
ing precincts of the Turkish baths.
The former postmaster general
whose most famous protege was
Franklin D. Roosevelt said he was
far from ready to throw in the
towel in fact, it was the only
thing he was wearing. He made
it known lie was available for the
U.S. senatorial race next year
or almost any other high post his
party would oiler.
'The only thing a politician has
to sell is himself, said Farley,
"I've got thousands of friends in
this state and can call most of
them by name. I could get as
many votes as anyone 1 can think
of."
Farley, who also was chairman
of the New York State Athletic
Commission, shared his birthday
bath with former heavyweight ti
tle holder Gene Tunncy, merchant
Bernard Gimbel, real estate ty
coon Norman K. Winston, and a
dozen other industrialists and exe
cutives. Tunncy read a poem
"Ode to a Bouncing Biltmnro
Bath Baby" which extolled Far
ley's many virtues.
Later, Farley went to his of
fices at the Cola Cola Corpora-
lion. Aided by his granddaughter.
Clare Ilickey. 5. he cut a three
tiered birthday cake at a party
attended by his of I ice aides and
then held a news conlerence.
Thursday morning he attended
early mass at St. Patrick's Ca
thedral, then visited the graves
of his wife and parents prior to the
family party.
At his news conference Wednes
day, Farley delivered himself of
these observations, among others
The two greatest problems
taring the President are unem
ployment and segregation.
John F. Kennedy came into
the V.lnte House "better quali
fied" than anyone nominated for
the ipnst in tins century.
elaborating on his encomium for
Kennedy, Farley said of the Chief
Executive: "He is well educated,
he is versed in politics, he has
an inquisitive mind and a great
memory, he is a great reader
and he has great courage."
Farley thinks Kennedy will
"go down in history as one of our
greatest presidents.
As to his own political situation
Farley declined comment. But he
was available for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination last
year, and has expressed avail
ability for the U.S. senatorial race
next year.
Theodore Roosevelt was the first
U.S. president to set foot on for
eign soil. He visited Panama in
l!HI6.

Mounting Tide Of Impatience Threatens
Racial Situation In Second Largest City
CHICAGO lUPll - Racial ten
sions are nothing new to the na
tion's second laraest city, but
this spring civil rights leaders
sense a mounting tide of impa
tience in the air which could lead
to serious trouble in the weeks
ahead.
If racial conflicts do explode
here, they are likely to do so
during the summer, which Chica
go Urban League Director Edwin
C. Berry calls "the riot season."
"Chicagoans arc sitting on a
tinder box and they very narrow
ly missed an explosion in the last
few weeks," said Berry in a
warning to tlic Urban League's
board of directors.
Mood Is Critical
The mood is more critical than
at any time I've ever seen it.
This mood will be very serious
this summer as long as we don t
do anything about it.
We need to take immediate ac
tion in a crash type of program
related to equality of opportune
ty in jobs, housing and education.
"We currently live in an unjust
society, racially speaking, and the
ingredients of this racial unrest
are always present. When any
thing happens like the Birming
ham situation or like the gather
ing of the mob on the Southwest
Side when there w as supposed to
be a Negro moving in any little
thing like that can touch it olf.
Problem Grows Worse
Berry and other experts in the
field agree Chicago's race prob
lem is longstanding and is grow
ing. The ground roots of the prob
lem can be told in statistics:
Of the 3.S million inhabitants
of metropolitan Chicago listed in
the 1960 census, 813.000 were Ne
gro.
The 1950 census listed 3.6 mil
lion persons in Chicago. 492.000
of tliem Negro. This meant Chi
cago's Negro population had rose
65 per cent in 10 years while the
overall population had dropped.
Of tlic city's 813,000 Negroes,
520.000 live in tile South Side area
nine miles long and three miles
wide known as "The Black Belt."
Of the rest, the overw lielming
majority also live in a!!-Negro
pockets. Tins is the situation that
has led some to describe Chicago
as the nation's most segregated
city.
-Almost half of Chicago's Ne
groes came here from some
where else.
Seventy-five per cent of the
persons on county relief rolls are
Negro.
SK'II Trouble
Tlicse figures add up to trouble
in tlie vital areas of housing, ed
ucation and jobs.
Tlic housing issue is touchiest.
Chicago Negroes and whites
may often work side by side, but
they rarely live side by side ex
cept in the tense neighborhoods
wliere the "Black Belt" is
grow ing. And it is growing con
stantly as a steady tide of job
seeking Negroes from the South
pours into the slums at the core
of the "Black Belt."
In case after case. Negroes
with the money to afford good
housing must move into white
neighborhoods to find it. Over and
over again, the whites leave and
llie neighborhood becomes all Ne
gro. iBittcrncss remains behind. If
tlic trend continues and Negroes
cannot break out into the suburbs
surrounding the city, sociologists
warn that Chicago could become
a predominantly Negro city '.by
1975.
Efforts Mount ' - -
Although Chicago's race prob
lem is mounting, so are the city's
offorts to meet it.
Within the last decade, acres of
"Black Belt" slums have been
leveled. High rise apartment
buildings and public housing de
velopments have taken their place.
n hites and Negroes have learned
to live together in some of the
South Side's best residential neigh
borhoods. There are more Negro
policemen, and the department's
ability to deal with racial trou
bles has increased markedly.-"
