I day's children want their facts . straight without any sugar-coat-ing, in the view of two veteran librarians. Mrs. Alice Brooks McGuire, Austin, Tex., and Miss Peggy Sullivan, Chicago; 111., discussed school libraries and their youthful patrons during an Indianapolis stopover on a trip to publicize. Library Week this week. Both noted a strong preference on the part of school children today toward wanting their information “straight, without any sugar-coating.” nils creates. problems sometimes when children begin to ask for facts about subjects which the librarians know are still being sugar-coated by their parents—such as sex. Advise Talk With Parent Mrs. McGuire said her approach is to advise the youthful patron to have his or her parents borrow the requested book on sex information for him. “But don’t say he can’t read the book,” she said. She and Miss Sullivan said librarians are concerned ’ that boys and girls who want facts about sex may get them from inaccurate sources, such as street - corner conversations or pornographic publications, if denied access to truthful books. Communism is another subject which sometimes sparks parental visits to schools to protest over the reading material in the library, Mrs. y McGuire recalled. She said that a sixto grade institute had been held in a school for which sfce was librarian on various forms of government, including communism. Sees Limited Horizons To an objecting father, Mrs. McGuire calmly replied “Don’t

you want your san to know about the world?” From his answer, she decided that the father would prefer his son limit his horizon to Texas. Librarians need to know all the television shows in order to' understand some requests. One young borrower recently requested a biography of "Freddie the Free-Loader” which is a fictional character depicted on comic Red Skelton’s television program. Miss Sullivan, who is director for the American Association of School Librarians for the Knapp libraries project, _ pointed out that perhaps as many as half of the elementary school chiL dren do not x have the benefit of a school library. Her job is to help spend some of the wealth accumulated by the late Joseph Palmer Knapp which he designated for use of school libraries. “Yale made a study which shows success in college is more closely related to knowledge of library use than any other one factor,” she said. Mrs. McGuire added that even second graders in schools having libraries are taught research skills which will help them throughout their life. “I know when I went to Smith College, I didn’t really know what a library was,” Mrs. McGuire recalled. She s said her realization of the important role in education a librarian holds was a factor in preferring this career.

Discusses Ethics Os Psychologist

By DELOS SMITH L’PI Science Editor NEW YORK <UPI> —On a troubling eethical problem in psychology, a psychologist told the profession that “science as knowledge owes allegiance to no one” — not even to ethical principles. * Science as knowledge, said Dr. Joseph F. Rychlak of St. Louis (Mo.) University “can be fickle, incorrect today and correct tomorrow—and then incorrect again as new evidence emerges.” .! He was speaking particularly to psychologists who consciously seek to control the behavior of their clients and feel ethically justified in doing so because the control is scientifically intended for the client’s good Rychlak was making the Tost Os Tomorrow' Award To Adams Post Adams Post 43, of Decatur, has qualified for a “Post of Tomorrow” award, it was announced by Indiana American Legion department commander Wayne Talbert. The local post was one of 168 out of 443 posts in Indiana to oualify for the Legion s top award for individual posts. The certificate and accompanying congratulatory letter have been forwarded to the local pcist from Indiana headquarters in Indianapolis. In order to qualify the award the local post had to equal or surpass last year’s membership; observe, with appropriate ceremonies, the American Legion’s 45th birthday; participate in community service projects and conduct scheduled meetings according to the Legion’s ritual of standards. The local post also had to participate in at least two of the American Legion’s Americanism programs during <he year.

point that such a scientific justification can be a flimsy one. Other psychologists, he continued, ‘‘consciously strive not to control the lives of others, not to manipulate but to elaborate and elucidate, clarify and make aware.” These psychologists, he added, “would settle for less control and greater awareness on the part of the client, even though he <the client) may be made less happy.” Prospective users of scientific psychology who, of course, have problems pertaining to their own behavior which they want help in solving, have “the choice between one psychotherapist who tells us that he strives as best he ethically can to keep from controlling us and another who tells us that he will strive to control us — but ethically so, as defined by science.” Raises Questions This choice, Rychlak said, raises questions such as, “How much faith can we put in this science? If the one man is not trying to control us, how successful will he be? Can ethics as a guide for behavior rely on scientific knowledge to fix its norms of behavior? If a is trying not to control us, will he let us know when things are going WTong and he really is controlling us, and how will he know?” Rychlak discussed ethics in a technical journal of the American Psychological Association. Non - scientific readers should refrain from getting their hackles up over theoretical scientific behavior control.. They themselves are constantly engaged in such endeavors, when they try to control the behavior of their children, their wives or husbands and the other people in their lives.

NORTH ADAMS 'Continued from Page One) schools must operate, not just offer, a major in a foreign language. This means four years of a jnodern foreign language, and it means a school would have to have at least three sections of first-class language to be able to get one section for the third and fourth years. Bultemeier asked if the third and fourth years could be earned in summer school, and Grabill stated that as he presently understands it, yes. Vocational Schools Bultemeier stated that he was very much interested in the proposed regional vocational schools, and that he envisions these as including special courses that small schools, such as Decatur or Monmouth, would not have enough pupils for, as well as strictly vocational courses. This might mean less building necessary here; he intimated. Those who attended the recent state vocational school meeting stated that this was not proposed at the last meeting, and that the regional schools would probably be large-city based, such as at Fort Wayne. The problem of getting qualified vocational teachers for such a school might delay getting them started for years, and meanwhile, North Adams will have a new and larger crop of children coming up every year. Grabill stated that the decision on the building fund should be made by May. so that it can be advertised, and submitted to the state for approval, and returned before August, when the budget must be submitted. Dr. Burk stated that he felt the board should first decide how to raise money for improving the school system, and then how much to -raise, before deciding on where to locate various schools. The board discussed tentatively a new three-year senior high, school, on the Reppert property at Bellmont; a junior high to include three years, seventh, eighth and ninth, at the present h’.gh school location; and conversion of the other four schools to kindergarten through sixth grade elementary schools. No decision was reached on this. The new elementary buildings would have to include room for remedial reading, speech and ROUTINE 'Continued from Page One) ship and Monmouth kindergarten; one hauls children from southwest of Decatur to Decatur, and the third will carry pupils from Preble township to Monmouth. At least six teacher vacancies are expected this year at the North Adams schools, Grabill reported. Bultemeier and Louis Krueckeberg suggested, and other members agreed, that it would be very good if Grabill could mail out the suggested Agenda for the meetings a day or two ahead, so, board members could be betterj prepared for the sessions. i

hearing therapy, health facilities, and many other modern facilities. More On Monmouth In discussing the Monmouth addition, the problem of rest . rooms was mentioned. They agreed that they would try to i get by with the present rest rooms remodeled, but Grabill ’ pointed out that the state would , probably require additional rest room space, as well as a filtraI tion bed for the new cafeteria and rest room. There is enough money available to get the Monmouth program started this year, but not enough to finish it, without a cumulative building fund, Grabill i predicted. Removing the old portion of , Monmouth will get it back furth- ■ er from the street, which is a I good thing, Bultemeier added. - The location of the new cafeteria i addition was discussed, with Bul- ' temeier suggesting the north end, I with the ground leveled off. SPELLING 'Continued from Page One) rectly, plus the next word on the * pronouncer’s list, then the second shall be declared the champion. 8. If one of the last spellers misses and the other, after correcting the error, mispells the new word submitted to him, then the misspelled new word shall be referred to the first spelller for correction. If the first spell1 er then succeeds in correcting the error and correctly spells the next word on the pronouncer’s list, then he shall be declared champion. 9. If both spellers misspell the same word, both shall continue in the contest, and the one who first misspelled the word shall be given a new word to spell. 10» Any question relating to the spelling of a word should be referred to the judges immediately. The deadline for making a protest is before the contestant affected would have received his next word had he stayed in the contest. No protest will be entertained after that word has been given another speller. When only two spellers remain, a protest must be made immediately, that is, before the second speller has started to spell the word given him, or, if both have missed the same word, before the correct spelling is given the audience. 11.

Warned On Removing Manhole Covers City police chief Grover Odle said this morning that any youths seen removing manhole covers will be arrested and turned over to the proper court. The chief of police explained that sometime Tuesday evening cover lids were removed from manholes at two of the entrances to the Homestead addition. Fortunately, Odle explained, they were observed by motorists, and no automobiles had struck the open holes. A vehicle striking an uncovered manhold could suffer extensive damages, he statdd, making the offense quite serious.
