, C 5 4 Mrs, An Apple for the Teachers. . .To Our Teachers-Past, Present, and Future-We Dedicate the 1957 HOR ET Big events in our lives should be celebrated with those who are close to us--and who is closer to the teacher than the student? By means of this dedication, the students wanted to celebrate with the teachers such big events as the 100th anniversary of the National Education Association and the Missouri State Teachers Association, and the Golden Anniversary of the Parent-Teacher Magazine. This year there is public recognition of the contribution of teachers and their professional organizations to education--a contribution that cannot be under-estimated, for education is the most precious gift any nation can offer its children. To quote the NEA Centennial them-e, An educated people moves freedom forward. Where do we get an educated public but from the teachers in the public schools of America? The Siamese Son Klin in M gli pays a beautiful tribute to his teacher Anna, saying Do 1 lOI let me fall down in the darkness. Come and lead me on the right road. lf during the school year our teachers become a little weary and some- what discouraged, may the words Do not let me fall down in the darkness echo in their physical and spiritual ears, and spur them on to greater teaching. l E l Q t

Under our system of self-government, citizens must make many decisions related to science--a scientifically literate citizenry is needed if intelligent decisions are to be made. Developing such a citizenry is a responsibility of the schools and primarily a function of science pro- grams in the school. For students trained in mathematics, there will bc job openings for 60, OOO persons in the next 3 to 5 years. One and one may usually give two, but this does not mean that all of math is as static and de- finite as this fact. Quite the contrary. And never be- fore has there been so much experimentation, interest, cooperation and activity in math, and such a deter- mination to have the teaching of math meet the needs of the age which it serves. There is national emphasis on the math and science programs in the high schools. EUGENE DAWSON reminds us of a basic principle of education--that it should help an individual to do better some of the worthwhile things he would do any- way. Boys in a farm community will probably farm. The purpose of the four-year Vocational Agriculture program is to help them to become better farmers, and to teach them the why of farming, as well as the how and what, Field trips, projects, experiments all contribute to the education of the future Farmcrl Mr. Dawson instructs adults as part ofthe Adult Ed- ucation program, and the Ag building houses the Veterans Agriculture Class as well. ELIZABETH SCHNEGELBERGER defines music as essentially a social art. One makes it for other people. One makes it with other people. Thus the inclusion of music in the regular curriculum takes into consideration two basic human needs--be- longing to a group and expressing one's self in as many ways as possible. Music can help every student to achieve that sense of belonging, 35 well as developing a worthy leisure time act- ivity. Background for band instruments is given in Tonette classes, much time is spent in individual and small group instruc- tion. Both students and teacher work toward developing a sound program of music instruction.
