Tale of Two Schools Let’s discuss two schools and their problems today. Emerson elementary school is located in a consolidated school district, and its kindergarten and six grades enroll about 800 pupils, and employ 34 teachers. Miss Emery teaches a fifth grade in this school. The Long Valley school enrolls about 100 pupils from the local village and surrounding rural area. Four teachers serve its eight grades. Mrs. Logan is the teacher of grades 5 and 6. At 9 a.m. on a recent wintery morning, fifth graders of these two schools were treading familiar paths to the classrooms of Miss Emery and Mrs. Logan. Had we been equipped to “tune in” on both classrooms, the routines at the opening would have appeared to be much the same. But there were differences. While physically, emotionally, mentally and socially the children appear alike. There are individual characteristics which when recognized hold the potential for creation of and contributing members of society and, when ignor-’ ed, often lead to tragedies in the lives of individuals and waste to society. Sensitive to these differences, let’s tune in on Miss Emery. We see her at her desk. She looks up as Sharon and Joyce enter the room. The sight of Joyce reminds her of the audiometric tests yesterday, which explained why Joyce, sitting in the back of the room, tended to daydream and wonder, and to fail on tests. The tests indicated that Joyce should be moved up front, and have further otological examinations and a consultation by the school nurse with Joyce’s parents. • Jimmy and four friends enter the room with, a big cardboard box. There’s a turtle in the box, and Miss Emery remembers that Jimmie has a classroom project on reptiles next week. She notes that he will need some reference material to properly care for his new pet, and some audio-visual aids to explain the pet to the class. The new boy, Paul, who joined the class two days ago slowly enters with two boys teasing him. Miss Emery notes that the school pyschologist should examine Paul, and determine if he should be in a slower class group. And Betty — she can do excellent work if someone sits by her and keeps her attention focused. But she tends to withdraw more and more every day from the class. She doesn’t mix, nor do the children want her to mix with them. She has above- average ability, according to tests, but medicre accomplishments. Danger signals like these call for help. , . . — so it goes.’ Many of the children need, and will get, special help. They will be happy, useful citizens some day, because-they got help early when it was needed. u ~ How about the other school? Not so fortunate. Yes, the teacher, by herself, recognizes many of the symptoms, but the small school has no testing devices, or extra help. And her double class keeps her busy’just teaching the daily lesson. She has no time for special project help. Even many consolidated districts are too small in themselves to provide every help necessary and available to children living in other parts of the United States. But every school unit in Indiana can cooperate together, and provide for these services and many more, by joint part-time employment, inter-district service contracts, and auxiliary agencies or intermediate service districts.

New Thunderstorms Pour Rain On Slate By United Press International The weather cooked up a new ■ batch of thunderstorms today in Indiana and poured additional torrente et nto «B VMkHd totals ranging past four inches. The broad areas of southern and central portions making up the Wabash and White River valleys were hit by a new deluge most of which fell late Sunday and early today. For the second time in a week, downstate roads were closed by high water, and the threat of major flooding in drought-breaking storms which began last week was definitely posed although river forecasters were still busy trying to figure out possible crests. Petersburg Gets 4% Forty-eight hour precipitation totals included Petersburg 4.54, Evansville 3.81, Louisville 3.65, Montezuma 3.23, Shoals 3.74, Cincinnati 2.74, Indianapolis 2.38, Columbus 223, Austin 2.63, Bedford 2.22, Winchester 2.07, Seymour 2.11, Anderson 2.30, South Bend -90, Fort Wayne .89, Lafayette .54, Columbia City .57, Peru .91, Spencer 1.18, Frankfort 1.02, Noblesville 1.66, Muncie 1.70, Crawfordsville 1.83, Logansport .84, Bluffton .71 and Monticello .76. The new rainfall came on earth already soaked with heavy showers the middle of last week. Rain was expected to continue most of today, locally heavy in the southern third of the state. Fair and cooler weather will prevail Tuesday and fair and warmer Wednesday, but the rain may be resumed thereafter, averaging around onehalf to three-fourths of an inch.

New Hampshire Primary Draws Top Interest CONCORD, N.H. (UPI)-Ri-val Republican camps scrambled for still uncommitted votes today on the eve of the New Hampshire presidential primary. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller ot New York, still proclaiming himself the underdog, was poised for a last-minute effort to win support before flying back to Albany tonight. Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona was already back in Washington to await the verdict from the first trial run of the 1964 presidential primary season. The weather bureau predicted clear and mild weather for Tuesday. What once shaped up as a classic contest between the conservative Goldwater and the liberal Rockefeller had been blurred by campaigns in support of a big field of active and inactive challengers for the GOP presidential nomination. Drive Backing Lodge A smooth-functioning drive is going on to win write-in votes for Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, who repeated in Saigon Sunday that he is not a candidate, although leaders of the draft Lodge movement insist that he is. An organized write-in campaign is also supporting former Vice Presidential Richard M. Nixon, the 1960 presidential nominee who had Lodge as his running mate. In Tuesday’s primary. New Hampshire Republicans will vote in a preferential contest—or popularity poll — with the names of Rockefeller, Goldwater, Sen. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, former Minnesota Gov. Harold E. Stassen, and Norman Le Page, a Nashua. N.H., accountant and political unknown, on the ballot. There also is a space for write-in vofes. 190,000 Expected More than 100,000 Republicans are expected to participate in the primary, in which they, will elect, 14 delegates, to the Republican National Convention next July. There are 71 delegate candidates, including slates favoring , Goldwater, Rockefeller, Lodge and Stassen and also one slate of uncommitted delegates. New Hampshire Democrats have no formal contest in tha popularity poll part of the ballot. They will elect 20 national convention delegates from among candidates favoring the nomination of President Johnson. One would-be Democratic delegate candidate favors Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia for the presidential nomination. In the popularity poll part of the ballot, a write-in vote for Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy for the vice-presidential nomination has been urged by a number of state Democratic leaders. They belatedly an-, nounced that they want writein votes for Johnson for president too.
Sinatra Kidnapers Convicted By Jury r LOS ANGELES (UPD — The only hope for reduction in the multiple sentences of life plus 75 years meted out to two 23-year-oM convicted kidnapers of Frank Sinatra Jr. hinges on the outcome of psychiatric tests they must undergo. Barry Worthington Keenan and Joseph Clyde Amsler were handed the maximum sentences by a federal judge Saturday shortly after a jury found them guilty on six counts in the kidnap for ransom of the young Isinger. The third defendant, John William Irwin, 42, was convicted on five of the six counts. He was found innocent of the key No. 2 count which dealt with the actual abduction of the 20-year-old Sinatra last Dec. 8. He will be sentenced later, possibly to a 75-year prison term which, in effect, would be life.' U.S. Dist. Judge William G. East, who pronounced sentence on Keenan and Amsler, said he might modify the sentences after the two undergo mental examinations within two weeks at the federal medical facility at Springfield, Mo. He said that under the law he had to mete out the maximum sentence to qualify them for admission to the government hospital. Attorneys for all three convicted men have 90 days to appeal. Moroccan Consul Is Murdered In Paris PARIS (UPI) — Moroccan Consul General Thami Benerrabi was stabbed to death today as he was leaving the consulate building here, police reported. Police arrested a Moroccan identified as Rabah Mohamed Ben Abdoulla shortly after the stabbing which took place inside the main entrance of the building. Benerrabi staggered out of the building and fell in the gutter with a knife in his back.
