School Budget

Members Vote Confidence : In Present Setup at First Meeting.

~~ + By ELEANOR JONES American . Association of University’ Women members who attended the season’s first meeting last night at the Y. W. C. A. went on record Unanimously as supporting the 1939-

school ‘administration. The vote followed a forum on the school budget. and educational and vocational guidance conducted by members of the A. A. U. W. education and study group. Participants in‘ the forum were Mesdames C. L. Harkness, K. M. Koons, Horace M. 8honle, N. Taylor Todd, William Rogers, John leighty and J. A.

Bawden. Institute Sought

The group asked that A..A. U. W. seek to bring to Indianapolis the Stevens Institute of Human Engineering, an educational guidance project now operating in Hoboken, N. Y., Boston and Chicago. The institute, work samples of an individual; attempts to place him in the school or work for which he is most fitted. ) Another suggestion made by- the forum group for A. A. U. W. was. a card catalog of colleges and universities listing entrance requirements, curricula and the name of a local person closely associated with the school who could give a picture of campus life not contained in the in- * stitution’s catalog. The group advocated also that A. A, U. W. members talk this winter before Parent-Teacher meetings on the budget and guidance in local schoo The { discussion and conclusions were based on a study of the - 1939-40 school budget and guidance projects in the Indianapolis schools. . Mrs. Robert Lingle, A. A. U. W. president, presided at the dinner meeting and Mrs. C. Norman Green, program chairman, introduced the speakers.

Social Service Cited

In the discussion of the budget, fided by several charts and graphs, the speakers pointed out the necessity of the social service department 4n school administration in that it forms a connecting link between the school and home. The discussion brought out their conclusion that the percentage of the budget devoted to operation of the buildings was too low to be adequate. The group termed guidance as a necessity because of the complexity of life today. It pointed out the need for guidance in junior high schools to discourage young people from dropping out of school when they become 16 years old. They explained that, locally, a policy of decentralized guidance was used in which the classroom teacher acts as director and pupils have no consciousness of guidance.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl 15 years old and ‘my parents think T am too young to have a date. All the other girls have dates and I feel so out of place when I am with them. I am not allowed to wear make-up or fix my hair stylish or wear modern clothes. I have to be in bed at 8 o’clock and my mother won't allow me to entertain. My mother picks out all of my friends for me whether I like them or not. I am not allowed to belong to any clubs other than

your problem. You may have to forego some good times on the way, but youll get there just the same. Your parents are trying to safe guard you and they do not realize that knowledge or experience are the best safeguards. Doubtless they expect tco much of you, but most successful young people, do study all evening on school nights and have fun over the week-end. : You can’t do anything with your parents by rebellion, I'm afraid. They're too sure they are right. But you might accomplish something by bringing a slow, steady pressure to bear. A quiet insistence on your right to choose your own friends, to belong to school clubs, to join in the social activities of your group, to have 'at least double dates, may break down their objections. No childith sulking, no stormy scenes, just a continuous push for the right to your own personality, is your best technique. In the meantime, what's wrong with an A plus? It gives you prestige at school and provides you with a valuable argument to win more freedom for fun, If you can point to work well done you have more chance to convince your parents that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Get as many achievements lined up on your, side as you can and then strike for time off. It takes a hard-hearted parent to resist this method. ” » ” 8 ” 8

EAR JANE JORPAN—I am a young girl in high school. I went steady with a boy for two and a half months. Then he went on his vacation. He wrote me a letter every week. When he came home he came over every fight for a week and then suggested that we both go with other boys and girls for a while and later go back together. 1 thought it was a good idea at the time, but found out that he was telling people he was tired of me and would never have another date with me. I still think very much of him and do wish you could give me some advice on how to get him to like me B. J. B.

~ _Answer—How can you still cling to a boy who openly says he is tired of you? Where is your pride? Cross him off your list and be quick about it. The woods are full of other and more interesting boys. . JANE JORDAN.
