NATIONAL SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT
URGES U. S. TAKE EDUCATION LEAD
Some 5.000 school board
members from all sections of
the nation, including Mrs. Jal
mar Kerttula and Lew Hanks
of Palmer, met in St. Louis for
the 22nd Annual Convention of
the National School Boards
Association.
Theme of this year's meet
ing was "Facing Challenges
to the Public Schools" and
speakers covered the full
range of school problems
from keeping abreast of the
latest developments in teach
ing techniques and school de
sign to finding adequate fi
nancial resources to pay the
sky-rocketing bills for mod
ern education.
The convention was opened
April 12 by NSBA President
Theodore C. Sargent of
Swampscott, Mass., who told
board members that “. . . we
live in a world of ‘unusual
change', marked by a sense of
urgency. He suggested board
members become the task force
to help bring about the public
understanding necessary for
this country to take the lead
in adjusting to the scientific,
social, and political revolutions
of the age. Sargent listed six
specific changes board mem
bers must be willing to make:
Change their attitudes — stop
thinking of their schools as pro
vincial pockets of learning and
see them as part of a national
fiber of education and under
standing. Change what they
know—not discard all their
old ideas, but learn more about
what is going on in education.
Change their time schedules
since the leisurely pace of ed
ucation m this country' can no

longer be continued without ir
reparable harm.
Change their ways of do
ing things . . . one thing cer
tain abcui the future, it’s go
ing to be drastically differ
ent from anything we've
known before and the old
ways won’t necessarily do.
Change the pace with which
they inform the public. Hot
only should the people be
told what's going on. it is the
board's responsibility to in
form the public. Not only
should the people be told
what's going on. it is the
board's responsibility to in
volve them by the thousands
in discussion and draw out
their advice on what should
be accomplished in the
schools.
Change their goals so that
opportunity becomes reality for
every child. Board members
should study the changed en
vironment in which they're op
erating and formulate long
range plans that will accommo
date the drastic changes that
have been generated in our
social order.
NSBA is a federation of the
50 state school boards associa
tions representing school board
members responsible for the
education of 95 per cent of the
students enrolled in the na
tion’s public elementary and
secondary schools.

Baby chicks can't talk — we know that. But we
wonder what this little chick would think
if chicks could think?
Probably he’s bewildered ... a great big
world . . . great big problems . . .
an orphan already ... and hungry!
Yet. there's deep meditation
here. Man is often like that
little baby chick: bewildered,
confused, wondering ... especially those
on the threshold of a new life or venture.
We don’t know a!! the answers, of course,
but we do know some! We do know how
to reach our Creator (PRAYER),
how He reaches us (BY HIS GRACE).
We also know that the most
serene place for such communion with
the Creator is in church. Here
you’ll find many answers to many problems.
It’s worth a try, isn’t it?
