J u #v MRS. CATHERINE. CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor,, Parents’ Magazine I V- f HOME AND SCHOOL ARE PARDNERS When we were young mothers sel dom visited school unless their chil dren were in trouble. The occa- 'sional advanced mother who in sisted on knowing something about her children’s surroundings during school hours, and who even went so far as to consider a teacher a hu- )xnan being worth knowing, was apt ;to cause her children acute em barrassment. For no less a stigma ,’than “teacher’s pet’* w?s sure to follow any social interest in teach* <er on the part of one’s family. Nowadays schools are so hos pitable to parents that the latch- i string is always out. And when you .'go to visit Janie’s class you are {likely to run into Sally’s mother or ; Johnny’s father, so your presence ; won’t even cause a flattering stir in the schoolroom. One important reason for visit- >lng your child’s school on a regu- ! lar class day is to observe your child objectively and see for your self how he fits into the life of the ’school. You may discover, as one smother did, that your little daugh- jter does not work harmoniously (with her classmates in carrying out ;an activity, that she is eager to {do the showy tasks such as paint ing the mural, but reluctant to do ithe humble ones, such as cleaning t paint brushes. The surprise may be a more ; pleasant one. You may find that j your boy, so quiet and modest that {you fear he will never stand out from the crowd, is an unassum ing, well-liked leader. In either case, whether you are disappointed or pleased with what you find, you will be more intelligent as to how home can help the child in his school adjustment after you have seen him in action at school. Since home and school are part ners, or should be, in the educa tion of your boy or girl, an occa sional visit will help you determine whether you are arranging your home routine to fit with the de mands made on the child by his school. If you see that Mary is not alert and “on her toes” in class, it may be that she needs to get to bed earlier.- If Eugene has a hard time settling down to school work in the mornings, it may be that an earlier breakfast hour would result in less hurry and confusion at home, * fewer races with the clock against tardiness, and a calmer approach to the early morning school tasks. On the other hand, parents often justifiably complain that each'* teacher assigns enough home work for the whole evening study hour,'! and that four or five conscientious, teachers can make homework a' health hazard. Children can’t very^ well defy their teachers by refusing to do the work, but several parents s can get together and tactfully ap peal for an integrated program of homework whereby each teacherj takes into consideration what th^ others are asking of the class.

The ration value of creamery butter will be increased from 16 to 20 red points on October 1, E. H. Talbert, district OPA director for Columbia district OPA, announced today. Seasonal decline of production allowed the War Food Administra tion to allocate only 85,000,000 pounds of creamery butter for civilian use during October, repre senting a 10,000,000 pound de crease from the September alloca tion and necessitating the higher point values, Mr. Talbert said. Al though fluid milk production is at record heights, creamery but ter production is approximately 12 per cent below the same period a year ago. According to the usual seasonal trend, production will decrease in November and begin to rise again in December and January toward the spring and early summer pro duction crest. * “Until that time,” Mr. Talbert pointed out, “we civilians are go ing to have to get along with less butter than formerly at least during the next 90 days or so.” The Office of Price Administra tion has announced a new, but yet unidentified, coupon will become valid for purchase of one new pair of rationed shoes November 1. The new stamp, like Airplane stamps 1 and 2, will be valid in definitely. Advance notice of the decision to make another stamp valid for shoes was made by OPA to allow retailers to adjust stocks accord ingly. The proposed validation carries out OPA’s intention to make valid a new stamp each 6 months as long as civilian supplies make such action possible.
