uf ance l There has been a gradual awakening to the need for conservation of our natural resources that our nation may remain a land of abundance. As a nation we have failed to utilize wisely the vast wealth which has been our inheritance from nature. Forests have been depleted, fertile farms have become barren wastes, vast stretches of prairie land have become a dust bowl. No longer do we ignore these problems, but we spend vast sums to reforest our woodlands and to reclaim our waste lands. We know that con- servation is vital to our nation's prosperity. We need to be aware of the problem of conserving human resources as well. lt is with this task that guidance is concerned. It is the aim of guidance to aid the individual student to use his talents and abilities to the utmost, to assist him in planning his education and training for his future career, to help him understand his present problems and meet future ones more in- telligently. In this way the guidance program preserves one of our nation's greatest resources, youth. Rose Bode Dean of Girls eleven

isifing eackefz The Youngstown Visiting Teachers help the pupils who need assistance in adjustment, whether social, emotional, or scholastic. This is a typical case handled by a Visiting Teacher in Youngstown. William Doe is irregular in school attendance, is a disciplinary prob- lem, and seems to have lost interest in life for a boy of his age. The home room teacher notifies the principal who calls in the Visiting Teacher. The principal reviews the facts and the Visiting Teacher makes a home call. The following facts came out: William's father and mother are di- vorced, his mother remarried and William makes his home with her and his stepfather. There are two children by this second marriage and William feels that he lacks the affection that is due him. The stepfather is not a pal to William. William's irregular attendance is due to his working part-time. A school conference is arranged for the mother. Here the facts are re- viewed. William asked if he couldn't see his father and try to work some- thing out. The Visiting Teacher contacted the father who was willing to help in solving the problem. The Court granted this permission. The father agreed to give William a weekly allowance and to be more of a pal to his son. The father saw the boy every week and took him to shows, ball games, GTC. William's attendance and school work improved and he graduated from school. Harold Luxon Visiting Teacher ten
