lie showed two films to the
delegates concerning the al-
cohol problem. The first was
entitled "Far From Alone"
which told of a university stu-
dent who was tempted to re-
ceive a great bonus of money
for his school if he would
agree to attend a TV sh ow
which was , sponsored by al-
coholic beverrig,es. The second
film was entitled, "None For
The Road," which told the
story of a teenage party in.
which alcohol was drunk in
varying quantities by different
individuals and the result of
this drinking on the teenagers
as they returned home after
the party.
After the banquet the dele-
gates were addressed by a
member of Alcoholics Anony-
mous who retold to the dele-
gates his past experience with
alcohol and his battle to over-
come this dreaded disease.
The delegates ended the con-
ferenee wit h a rollicking
party, proving to themselves
and everyone present, that
young people are able to have
;just as much, if not more fun
without 'being under the in-
fluence of alcohol,

years and another phenomenon

be quite tragic to the indivi-

pupil who, for some reason has

pupil is thus subjected to a

cause they have grown too tall

You cannot build on quick-
sand. Yet in large classes, es-
pecially in ungraded schools,
it is almost impossible for a
leacher to make up for years
of just-barely-passing (or up-
graded) grades, and really help
these unfortunates,
I have had occasion quite
often, to observe how indus-

to see who can lean longest

Yet. how many teachers
have a school psychologist to
call upon for help, How many
teachers can really count on
the cooperation of parents in

failures of the children. And
the teacher too often feels a

extra tutoring fails.
Mr. Smiley, you have stirred

in professional hull-sessions and
teachers' •iommittees at con-
ferences for years and years.
They had deadwood in school
when I was a student there
some 20 years ago, My parents
have spoken of their own
brand of deadwood 50 years
ago. Nn doubt their parents did
too.
And I, like you, have several
cases of potential deadwood iii
my own little ungraded school.
If, you find a solution, let us
know!
