You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Ordinarily, the scientist is pictured as an individual working with test tubes, Bunsen burners, microscopes, or other similar laboratory equipment. This image plus the vast amount of information connected with science sometimes creates fear of incompetence in many teachers and parents. Let’s look at what science really is. It does include the usual laboratory approach, but it includes much more. According to the dictionary, science is a body of knowledge accumulated and systemetized with reference to the discovery of general truths and laws. This means that any collection of information which can be organized to reveal facts' which hold true on all occasions is rightfully in the field of science. From this we can conclude that no one individual could master all the information in the broad area covered by science. Even the professional must become a specialist This is obvious in engineering and medicine where the specialist often concentrates on a narrow portion of the total field. It often appears that a parent or teacher would find it impossible to have the necessary background to assist or. teach a child science. Actually, this is not so. The methods of teaching science, especially in the elementary school, can be mastered by most adults. TTie technique begins with learning to , say, “I do not know the answer, but you might find it in—.”• What are some of the aims of a good science program? A student should learn to appreciate the value of science to our society. He should develop and expand his curiosity. He should learn the methodology and techniques of science. The scientific approach to solving a problem includes the following steps: identifying the problem: guessing at possible answers; developing a proce-

4.MIM Protection tor the Elderly By SEN. CLINTON P. ANDERSON (D-NJU.) J Sponsor of • King-Anderson Hospital Insurance £ For The Aged Bill Good hospital insurance is beyond the reach of . large numbers of aged Americans. ‘

There ptust be away out of this dilemma. And 1 believe there is. It is to provide basic hospital and skilled nursing home protection through Social Security. This solution to an ’ important problem—recommended by both President Kennedy and President Johnston—is embodied in the so-called King-Anderson bill, a bill which it has been my privilege to sponsor. Briefly, the bill provides these benefits for virtually all the aged: Inpatient hospital services for np to either 45 days with no deductible; 90 days

with a deductible of $lO a day for the first 9 days; or 180 days with a deductible equal to about $92.50. I Up to 180 days of skilled nursing home services affiliated with hospitals after transfer from a hospital. Outpatient hospital diagnostic services, with a S2O de* ductible. And also up to 240 visits a year by a therapist or visiting nurse to the patient’s home of a patient under a physician’s eare. j This approach would not cover physicians’ or surgeons’ fees. But the fact that the costly, unpredictable part of the total medical bill—the hospital portion—would be cov- : ered under the government plan means that private insur- i ance could provide coverage on doctors’ charges. When present health insurance of the aged is so clearly ; inadequate—much of it covering less than 20 percent of medical costs—l, and others in the insurance field, see a large market for health insurance sold to supplement the social security plan. Indeed, one nationally known insurance company testified in favor of the administration’s plan, and others are very much interested in the possibilities it presents for new As an insurance man, too, I have been much concerned j with the system for financing the proposed social security hospital insurance plan. I see the following advantages in its arrangements: 1. It would obtain its funds from the working group, not the disabled, not the assistance recipients, not the unemployed. These disadvantaged groups, of course, have to contribute directly or indirectly through real estate tax, sales tax, and similar sources of revenues to support medical assistance. 2. The one-fourth of 1 percent tax would be shared by employee and employer equally. 3. The tax would be in proportion to earnings up to $5,200 • per year so that the lower income rural population of states such as Kentucky would pay substantially less than the high-income, fully employed, urban worker. 4. The social security plan—raising funds by applying a percentage tax rate to earnings—would have an advantage over present insurance in that, as earnings rise and the system is kept up to date, income to the program would automatically increase, permitting the program to keep its benefits in relation to current costs. The goal we have set ourselves is to continue what was begun three decades ago when the original social security program was established. We intend—and I sincerely believe it will be this year—to write another chapter in social security history—the chapter of hospital care for the aged through social security, i

dure for obtaining the answer; experimenting; interpreting results; drawing conclusions. In addition, a student should learn critical and creative thinking, accuracy, respect for the opinions of others, and recognition that we are always solving previously unsolved problems. The learning of factual information does have its place in the program. The aims of a science program are achieved by teaching students to solve problems which are of immediate interest. Thus, second graders often study the animal kingdom, third graders might study weather, and fifth graders might study astronomy or geology. Regardless of the area of study, the approach is the important factor. The teaching of science is actually the teaching of away of thinking. A creative parent or teacher can develop a game or lesson from simple objects around the home or school. For example, place a small object inside a box and close it. Ask the student or students to describe the object after shaking the box but not looking inside. A student will learn a great deal from this simple kind of approach. Science covers a vast field of knowledge. No one individual can accumulate all the facts but he can master the methods and skills for finding answers and solving problems. This is valuable regardless of the career which a student may choose. ~ Chair Repair To repair a loose chair rung caused by a shrunken tenon, wrap the tenon with glue-saturated bandage gauze before forcing it back into the hole. The gauze provides a snug fit and also prevents the glue from oozing out. Reed Furniture Before painting reed or willow furniture, give it a priming coat of shellac or varnish. This will add years to the subsequent paint job.

SOCIAL SECURITY QUIZ 1. Q. — Will the income I receive from the sale of my farm count “against” my social security benefits? A.— No. The $1,200 retirement test refers only to earned income. The sale of capital assets does not afect social security benefits. 2. Q. — Someone said I should file my application for social security benefits now that I’m pest 65 even though I'm still working, but I plan to continue working this year. If I should file now, could my 1964 earnings ever be used to increase my benefit amount? A.— Yes. If your earnings are more than $1,200, you can file to have your benefits recomputed. 3. Q. — I always report all of the income from the sale of my farm animals and produce on a Schedule F when I file my federal income tax returns. A friend told me some farm animals were not supposed to be reported on this schedule. Am I making incorrect reports? This income is from a farm I own and operate myself. A.— You may or may not be, depending on what farm income you have had. If you notice, at the top of your Form 1040 Schedule F. the directions tell you that you are not to list here any income from the sale of animals not held primarily for sale — animals you have held to use for breeding, dairy or draft purposes. Income from the sale of such animals is to be reported on Schedule D, as it is from the sale of capital assets instead of farm earnings. 4. Q. — I work for wages of more than $4,800 per year and also own a farm, which I rent. I am planning to retire from my job before age 62. Is it possible for me to get a formal determination as to whether my farm income can be reported as earnings for social security purposes? A.— Yes. Even though you do not file for social security benefits, you may come in to the social security office and submit the description of your farm arrangement. Then a decision will be made regarding your case. 5. Q. —1 own a farm and have it rented to a tenant. I personally take no part in the management or operation of the farm, as I am a widow past 70 years old. My son manages the farm for me. Several years ago I was told I could not qualify for social security benefits on the basis of my farm income. Would still be the case? A.— Possibly not. Your son’s activity in the farm operation would now be taken into consideration. If he participates materially acting as your agent, it could be determined that your share of the farm income is covered for social security purposes. 6. Q. — I am a 63 year old woman and one of three heirs sharing equally in a large farm. One of the heirs, my brother, acting for all three heirs, arranged with a tenant to operate the entire farm on a 50-50 crop share basis. He meets regularly with the tenant to decide how the farm should be operated. I have to i pay % of half of the crop production expense. Does this allow me to report my share of farm profit as self-employment income and get social security credit for it? * A.— Yes. Since you pay a part of the crop production expense, and your brother meets with the tenant on your behalf, you meet the requirements for reporting your share of the farm profit as self-employment income. Prevent Boiling Over Such foods as rice, macaroni, spaghetti, and the like, can be kept from boiling over by adding a small lump of butter to the water. The food can then be cooked in a tightly-covered pan, which shortens the cooking time.

Early Mental Health Treatment Is Vital

By DELOS SMITH DPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD—The one formally constituted professor of mental health in the world foresees a day when every educated person will be for practical purposes a psychiatrist. Dr. D. Russell Davis based the prediction upon what he considered obvious need —a need for “first aid posts as near as possible to the front line of everyday life,” That’s the line where people break down mentally. If persons killed in recognizing and doing something about it were close at hand, most of the “casualties” could be returned to that 4 front line quickly. It worked out that way in Wtold War 11, Davis reminded. Battle-line psychiatric casualties treated at once and close to the front mostly returned to duty promptly. Those who were sent to distant hpspitals were much less likely ever to return to active duty. The delay in treatment permitted their breakdowns “to become, established and to harden.” Mental Health Professor He described what he considered the essence of both mental illness and mental health in a recent lecture. “The essence of mental illness may be summed up in one Word, alienation,” he said. “While he is ill, the patient is estranged, detached and withdrawn. He is solitary and seeks solitude. He feels that he is on his own, and that he no longer belongs to any family or com-

munity. He is egocentric and cannot associate himself with others or espouse any cause. He breaks off transactions with others, and ceases to cooperate and to comunicate. Describes Mental Health “If alienation is the essence of mental illness, then the cardinal sign of mental health is the capacity to form relationships with others. In mental. health a person responds freely and responsibly to the demands made on him by his fellows and actively engages in transactions with them. He enjoys cue or more close relationships and accepts that he has need of them. He enjoys one or more close relationships and accepts that he has need of them. He recognizes his kinship with others, and is capable of compassion and love.” The objective of any treatment of the mentally ill is to restore the person’s capability of forming these relationships. There are, of course, some casualties of the front line of every day life “who have been so damaged by their experiences,” that they have to be hospitalized for long periods, he said.
