All personnel in the Lakeland schools is striving for “the best education” possible for all school age students in Milford, North Webster and Syracuse. The Lakeland schools conduct classes daily for kindergarten students through the elementary grades, junior high and high school plus M-l and M-2 (special education) classes. In order to continue “the best education” lor area residents adult education classes and summer school are held. Wawasee high school is a big step in providing “the best education” possible for high school students. It offers classes for those who plan to continue theneducation after graduation and classes for those who plan to join the working forces, fanners and housewives of America as soon as they complete their high school education. In the past, high schools in this area had little to offer the person who did not plan to go on to college and many 16-year-olds became drop outs because of lack of interest in their education and the fact the schools had little, if anything, to offer them. Key to Living This reporter likes the way a second grade boy and a third grade girl explained the meaning of the word education. The young man states, “Education is the key to living.” While the young miss said, “Without an education -you are nothing.” It should be the goal of every American to graduate from high school whether or not he plans to go on to college. Education today is more than reading, writing and arithmetic. It’s giving all students an equal chance, no matter what color their skin might be and no matter what their IQ is. This is why the young migrant children are given a special teacher and/or assistant each year. And why the corporation officials continue to study their education and improve the facilities and teaching aids for them. Special education (M-l and M--2) classes in the Lakeland schools offer a chance to educate the slower youngsters who, without these classes, might not be able to receive any type of education. Education that children and young adults receive in the Lakeland schools helps them gain the knowledge and strength they need to take their place after graduation. It helps them to serve their country better and to get along in this complicated world. Education can help develop insight and understanding that will make tomorrow’s leaders free from prejudice as well as developing the student’s IQ. ALBION MAN JAILED BY SYRACUSE OFFICER Leonard Eppert, 40, of Albion was jailed over the week end by Syracuse police officer Dale Sparldin on an assault and battery charge. were from Mentone high school. The group left New York on Monday and arrived at Fort Wayne at 8:13 p.m.
TAB Club Organized At Milford A Teen Age Book club, sponsored by the Scholastic Book Service of New Jersey, is being offered to the Milford junior high students this year. More than 75,000 teachers are using TAB for their language arts classes this year. It’s the biggest bargain in junior high paperback reading available. Most books are priced under 50 cents and the student receives one book free with every five purchased. The purchase of Teen Age Books by the pupils create almost immediate student enthusiasm for adolescent reading and provide young people with more of the outstanding books. TAB offers many titles not available through any other book club source — teen oriented books that are purchased or especially created for TAB club members. A quick glance at TAB’S selections: Ivanhoe, A Tale of Two Cities, Championship: The Complete NFL Title Story, The Life and Words of Martin Luther King Jr., National Velvet, Seventeenth Summer, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Call of the Wild, Cyrano De Bergerac, The Prince and the Pauper and Shane. According to the club sponsors, Mr. Smith, Mr. DeArmey and Mrs. Williams, there has been a tremendous amount of enthusiasm due primarily to the following: 1. TAB’S are low priced and offer dividends 2. The book company has books which students can’t get elsewhere 3. Selections are “just right'* for junior high students 4. The children asked for it, they run it, it’s theirs 5. It is one of the best individualized reading programs ever. The reading and interest span in TAB is so broad that everyone in a junior high classroom can find a book (or two or three) that is instantly appealing. Approximately 100 books have been ordered and received since September. NATIONAL BOOK WEEK **■ NOVEMBER 17-23 Next week is National Book Week, November 17-23. The theme for this year is “Go Places With Books”, and will be observed in the Milford public library with displays of new books for adults as well as children. There will also be a number of new books that can be taken out next week. We urge parents to bring their pre-school children in to the library, and we will also look forward to seeing other children who have not been using the library since school started. * * * High school students, please note! We have changed our usual winter schedule of closing at 4&> to 5 o’clock, which should be a benefit to those who wish to get library material. * * * Several changes have been made in the library this fall: New bookcases have been added; extra shelving placed in the juvenile department; a new atlas and dictionary display cabinet has been purchased; some furniture has been removed to provide extra space.

Do not boast of the cheapness of your library, of the little it costs you, but rather how much you spend on it, give it byway of gifts of memorials, support it by word of mouth, or by use. In these ways you show how great is your appreciation, or

do people of Milford appreciate their library? Do YOU? Do you use it? If not, why not? A library is a practitioner of many professions. It serves as a minister, physician and educator, because it brings us spiritual uplift, relaxation after a day’s work, and information and culture that we may become more useful and happier citizens. It is not enough for you to walk in, look around, and walk out. You never learned to use the tools of your trade from typewriter to triphammer, or from needle to crochet hock, by just looking. It took some time and a good deal of practice to make them work properly. It will take some time and trouble, and the friendly assist ance of the library staff to ‘learn’ the library so that it becomes a useful tool. Syracuse Library Has Hour Change Mrs. Roben Jones, librarian at Syracuse, reports that the library, including the children’s department, will be closed from 3 to 5 p.m. next Tuesday, Nov. 19. Both departments will be open from 7 to 9 p.m. on that date.

62 ICC Students In Supervised Teaching - Sixty-two Indiana Central college seniors will begin their supervised teaching duties in Indianapolis and suburban schools on Monday, Nov. 18. Twenty-one of the students are majoring in elementary education and 41 in secondary education. Experience in teaching in an accredited school and under an approved supervised teacher is one of the requirements for qualifying for a teacher’s license aft- 4 er graduation from a four-year college. The first half of this semester the embryonic teachers have been taking their last courses in professional education, observing certain teachers, and fulfilling other requirements preparatory to their supervised teaching. The second half will be spent in classrooms fulltime. Until recent years the supervised teaching had extended over an entire semester but for only a half day. Among the Central students assigned to Indianapolis elementary schools is Ginger Hollar, r 2 Milford, third grade at Central elementary in Beech Grove.
