You Your Child And The School By DAVID NYDICK TIPI Education Specialist Millions of eligible voters do not exercise this basic right nor fulfill this responsibility. The reason may be that as students they probably were not fully taught 1 what being a United States citizen involves. Some teachers and schools, recognizing their responsibilities, place an emphasis on the subject of good citizenship. Some junior and senior high schools have a token course. These are not typical of the nation’s schools. Is there a teacher’s college which offers a specific course in the teaching of citizenship? Perhaps there are a few but it is certainly not a standard procedure. This should be a requirement for the issuance of a teacher’s license. It is everyone’s fault, not because they object to this but because they have done nothing about it. Needs Citisens’ Participation The strength of our nation depends upon the enthusiastic par- ■ ticipation of its citizens. i Some people might argue that i the direct teaching of citizenship is indoctrination. But you cannot expect an individual to guess what his responsibilities are. He ' must obtain the knowledge and understanding through education. He must also develop the attitudes which are necessary to encourage his cooperation and participation in activities concerned with public welfare and govern- , ment. This is not meant to indicate . that all citizens neglect their responsibilities. But too mahy tend to be lackadaisical about these , important parts of democratic liv- J ing. ] Although not fully responsible, schools have not put the needed effort into developing programs concerning citizenship and related activities. Millions of dollars are spent yearly developing cirriculums. Very little is earmarked for research concerning citizenship programs. U. 8. History Fascinating The study of American history can be fascinating. A student is exposed to this several times in his school career. The practice of politics also can be extremely intriguing and important. The schools teach about our government’s development and structure but they often neglect to include a study of political history and influence. The political parties and their members probably have more effect upon our government than most other factors. An individual surely will have a greater understanding and feeling for our government if he is aware of the growth of political parties and what they stand for. Citizenship responsibilities are more extensive in our form of government than in most others The development of skills in the area of citizenship is as important as those in science and mathematics. A look at school programs should indicate were to begin solving this problem.

Judge Feels Law Hurried Too Much INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Judge Carl T. Smith of Madison Circuit Court charged in a brief filed Tuesday with the Indiana Supreme Court that some people are trying to hurry up the due processes of law: The response was filed on the final day set by the Indiana Supreme Court for an answer tc a temporary injunction issued by Judge Frederick Landis which, if made permanent, might affect the outcome of the Anderson municipal election Nov. 5. Smith asked the Supreme Court to dissolve this alterna tive writ which directed him to expunge his ruling holding the annexation ordinance unconstitutional or show cause why he should not. “The parties seeking intervention are attempting to circumvent the due processes provision and urge the Supreme Court to pronounce judgment without giving plaintiffs or de T fendants any opportunity to be heard,” Smith wrote. He argued that the case should be completed in his court and then an appeal taken from the final decision. Smith had set Oct. 29 for a ruling by him
