JjWfsß<i -'Raid Beard Decides On Subscribers By Nancy Curtis At a meeting bf the Nappanee United Fund Board on Monday, August 31, at the State Bank of Nappanee, the board members voted on subscribing organizations and their respective requests for funds. A goal was discussed and set for the 1964-65 campaign. This goal, the part cipating organizations and thir approved requests for funds will shortly be made available to the contributing public. Below is the secofid in a series of informal articles on i YOU AND YOUR UNITED FUND beautiful little blond girl • | with shiny eyes who always has a, ready toe thy £milel for the music teacher who brings Aiaracas painted in brightly-colored Mexican figures; a large, awkward boy in overalls and cowboy boots who drums the table with his fingertips in an effort to show his concentration over the simplest arithmetic; a slight, fragile, dark-haired little girl twisting a lock of her hair and biting her lip as; she labors to print her name in large, black letters ..... these are the children ;n the Special Elucation room. And, these are the lucky ones, lucky because they are able to participate, able to learn some useful facts, able to he accepted into society as useful citizens. But what of our less fortunate children, yours and mine? What of my fat cheeked, rosy cherub with the slanty eyes and strange fiigers who doctors have dubbed a Mongoloid? What of your short, bulky boy with, the ears that seem to be too large for his body and the tough skin that have caused him to be named for some unknown person from the Isle of Crete? And what of our brain damaged children? Those who through the very complicated nature of being born into this world have suffered irrtpairable damage to organisms which now refuse to function adequately enough for th m to be accepted as part of :his very world? Shall we turn our backs on these children? Shall we pretend that they don’t exist? T 1 at it could never happen to you or me? That there is no potential or soul within tiem? Not if we dare to call ourselves Christian. Not k we recognize that our Creator endowed us all with the freedom to live our lives to the fullest of our own capaci ies. We no longer live in an age which we believe the world is flat; we no longer chain people to bedposts nor burn witches at stakes. The Elkhart County Council for Retarded children is doing something about these children.

You should open your heart and your purse, and give The United Way. LETTERS r • An Open Letter to the Wa-Nee Teachers Why can’t Johnny read, or Susie spell or Billy work Arithmetic? Now r that September is again upon us, these and similar questions will soon be forming on the lips of parents and teachers alike. It is with, the latter that I am primarily concerned. * * Everyone has, I am sure, heard the expression “dedicated teacher.” When I hear these words three people come to mind. First there was Awilda Robertson. Until I was a high school junior, if any one had told me the study of History could be interesting, I would have thought him surely “daft.” Then I met Miss Robertson. She brought to that U.S. History class such sparkle and shine and genuine fondness for her subject that it permeated the whole group. I, for one, hated to see the hour end, and was glad when the next day came and I could again look beyond those magic doors she had opened for me Then there comes to mind Alice Auer. She taught Algebra and Geometry. If someone just gave, a groan, it is because they never had a teacher like Miss Auer. She was firm in class, maintaining strict discipline, but outside the classroom she relaxed and became one of toe gwig. She didn’t have to be an ?rontasted tyrant to get the respect due her. For the “slow” ones she had all the patience of Job. , The last one I thipk of .when I hear the word “dedicated >! -4s- Rev. Gorman Zook. Yes, Reverend! Besides teaching commercial subjects in our school, he was the minister of a Brethren Church. In school he didn’t sermonize, but you could tell he was a Christian by his actions, and boys and .girls alike regarded him very highly. In class he made any assignment exciting. Even Gregg’s curliques were fun under his supervision. And a wellwritten letter of application was [ not a dul lthing, but the key with which challenging and exciting doors could be opened. Is it any wonder that at our class reunions these three people are spoken of with love almost akin to reverence?

With these three people in mind, I would like to give the teachers of the Wa-Nee District some points to ponder: 1. Do you genuinely like your job? 2. Do you hold the boys and girls in your classes in such high

< iM m-'M

MOgaj ijta t SOU millitiw X'VgrtW UUt JfWV <MV ■ WM|g to teach for less, just for the satisfaction you get fpem a job well done? 3. Are the extra classes you •take in the Summer for your benefit or the childrens’? 4. Do you continually hold other young people up as examples until your students grow weary of being down-graded and finally just: give up? f>. Do their eyes light up Mien , your pupils meet you on the street? 6. Do your pupils look forward to your classes joyfully, or is there an epidemic of “Mommy, I don’t feel well,” about 7:00 Aid.? '7. Have any graduates ever thanked you for being so patient with them when they were in the unsettling (both to you and them) age of adolescence? If you can honestly answer yes to questions 1,2, 5, the first part of 6 and 7, you have taken the first steps toward being one of the “dedicated” ones. If your answers are yes, you may feel free to look outside the classroom for the answers to why Johnny can’t read, Susie can’t spell and Billy has trouble with fractions. More and more teachers are leaving the classrooms for jobs with higher pay. These are not the ones to whom teaching children is ■the most important thing iii their lives. We can do without them. True, everyone should be paid an adequate wage, but if salary is the sole reason for teaching, I question whether we need those persons either. I submit to you, for your consideration, a pet theory of mine: If the truly dedicated teachers continue to ignite the spark ■of desire for learning in their pupils: if they instill into the minds of young people the desire to help other young minds in future generations to seek the good things in life; not for monetary gain alone, but for a thing called satisfaction, then we will continue to have a supply of good teachers. Teachers whom children will love and respect and parents will honor. There is an old saying which goes like this: “Some were called others just went.” How about you? Were YOU called? R.E.F. EVER READY CLUB The Ever Ready Club will meet Wednesday, September 9 at 2 p.m. with Mrs. Nettie Lehman. Roll call will be “Miscellaneous.”
