As George L. Walâ€" lace, a former public school superâ€" intendent in Massachusetts, says: "If society does not keep these exceptional children busy in a constructive way during the whole of their school lives, they, in a deâ€" structive way will (might) keep society busy during their adult life." Lester Ball, superintendent of Dist. 108, says: "Dr. Graham is not only one of the most promiâ€" nent and distinguished men in pubâ€" lie school work in this state, but he is a nationally recognized authoriâ€" ty in the field of education of exâ€" ceptional children." k + A native son of Illinois with 22 years of teaching experience in elâ€" ementary and high schools of the state, Dr. Grakam is a past post and county commander of the Amâ€" erican Legion, a member of the Rotary club of Springfield and a past district governor of Rotary International.

Kirkendall, diâ€" rector of the Association for Famâ€" ily Living in Chicago, will meet with parents and teachers of the 8th grade at Elm Place school for evening, Jan. 7, at 8 o‘clock Mrs. Ferdinand Kramer who is a member of the committee planâ€" ning the program, says: "Parents of the 8th graders sometimes find themselves puzzled as to just what they can expect of their boys and girls. In some ways these youngâ€" sters entering their teens are so grown up, and in other ways they still need almost as much help as they did at 8 or 10. How can we give them the independence they need and find desirable ways for them to be grownâ€"up? How much responsibility can we expect them to take in contributing to the comâ€" fort of the family? How can school and the home work together in giving our boys and girls pracâ€" tice in working together and playâ€" ing together in ways that will make good use of the experience of being in a group? What are we doing to help them meet new sitâ€" uations with the courage to get real joy out of living? This meetâ€" ing has been planned so that parâ€" ents and teachers may think thru questions like these together. Out of such thinking we hope will come some practical â€" suggestions for both teachers and parents." Dr. Kirkendall has had wide exâ€" perience in working with young people both in schools and in inâ€" formal groups. He has worked with teachers at the University of Okâ€" lahoma and at the State Teachers ‘Training school at New Britain, Conn, He has been a professor of Conn, He has been a professor of psychology and tmfly life educaâ€" tion at summer sessions of the Unâ€" iversity of Colorado, the Universiâ€" ty of Oregon and the Unuiversity of Washington. Before coming to the Association for Family Living last June he had been connected with the U. S. Office of Education at Washington, D.C. In 1945 he was sent overseas to teach courses in psychology and family life at the GI university in _ Florence, Italy. Dr. Kirkendall says: "Elm Place school is planning wisely in bringâ€" of the 8th grade as a group, for certain questions particularly conâ€" cern those of us responsible for the guidance of boys and girls getâ€" ting ready for the greater indeâ€" pendence of the high school years, Fortunately, much has been learnâ€" ed in ‘recent years about the needs of these adolescents which can help smooth out the growing up process for the young people themselves and for their parents and teachers, too."
