of the Emancipation Proclama
tion the legislative sleight-of
hand tactics of past years simply
will not meet the serious mood
of the Negro minority.”

the voting records of Congress
men and Senators to die member
ship and to the general public.

STAY IN SCHOOL HINTS
Each year, thousands of school children
make the trek to school in September. Many
of these children enter school with high hopes
that they will succeed in their tasks. Some
parents, who have a dislike for a school be
cause of their experiences, influence their
children adversely toward the school. How
ever, each group has a certain number of
pupils who will drop-out of school in spite
of everything that may be done.
It is a well known fact that the drop-out
problem is one of the major considerations
of the nation. The National Education Asso
ciation and the Arizona Education Associa
tion, among others, both public and private
are concerned with the problem. These or
ganizations, together with private citizens,
are trying to find a solution to the drop-out
problem. The drop-out problem is a menace
to the well being of the nation, because the
drop-outs eventually become the unemployed
boys and girls of our country. Dr. James
Conant has spoken of these unemployed
boys and girls as social dynamite . President
Kennedy recently spoke of the seriousness
of the drop-out problem on the health and
security of the nation.
The problem must be attacked and solved
at the grassroots level, that is, by the local
communities. What can be done at this level?
In the first place, parents can become aware
of the problem of drop-outs to the extent that
they know the telltale signs. Children should
be encouraged, praised, or otherwise moti
vated by the home. A quiet comfortable place
must be provided for the children to study.
The teachers must meet the children with
love and understanding. Since all children
will not be at the top of the class academ
ically, it is imperative that the teachers
realize that each pupil must develop ac
cording to his own ability. It is an indis
putable fact that children can learn more
in school than they can in the streets. It
is, therefore the responsibility of everyone
to help keep children in school. The com
munity can provide the facilities, equipment
and materials to meet the needs of every
child, not just the academically able but
also those are only trainable.
This article has been written from the
viewpoint of the elementary school child,
but the principles and facts apply to the
secondary and college student. It must be
remembered that the initial step of the
drop-out is often made at the elementary
school level. We work together to conserve
our natural resources, we must also work
together to conserve our student resources.
