Direction in Education Trying to 'maintain an adequate educational program in the midst of a society rocked by the concept of change is difficult. People want the best for their children, and this is as it should be. The problem arises when decisions defining the best are to be made. The public is constantly reminded that we live in a fluid society. Presently, educators are bombarded with concepts such as: open classroom vs. traditional; individualized (personalized) instruction vs. traditional; learning centers; and a host of new concepts and theories Decisions concerning these programs have to be carefully made. It is the student and the community which must be considered in making decisions. Technology and the rapid change it brings must be studied before adopted as an appropriate educational program. Thus, there is a need for constant research and evaluation. Educators, together with community representatives, must ponder such questions as "What kind of future is desired? What kinds of things do we want? Should academic skills in schools be emphasized? Should the teaching of 'getting along' be stressed? Should there be a combination of the two?" Educators must join with the community and generate these educational goals collectively. The second obstacle facing educators is funding. A lack of money is a serious threat to any operation and a near catastrophe to school districts trying to keep educational programs in tune with the times. Just to remain stable is a step backward in this present day. To curtail educational programs, because of lack of sufficient funding^r^verses the advances made. These reverses hamper the student and are apt to make her or him less capable in the future. Schools and their educators have learned many lessons from the past. They have become aware of the im portance of community in volvement and the advantages this involvement has shown for students and staff. Successful present and future school programs will be considered with input from those for whom the programs were designed - the community. McHenry District 15 is working toward more community involvement. At present, parents have responded, but there is a need for a greater number. If parents want the best for their children, District 15 offers them the opportunity to con tribute toward that goal with their time and energy Here & There In BUSINESS New Sasha's Restaurant Opens Here After 12 years as proprietor- chef of his prize winning restaurant in Chicago, A l e x a n d e r " S a s h a " Vereschagin has decided to give up the commuter battle and conduct business "in his own back yard" -- McHenry.

How can I prevent cream from curdling when poured over acid fruit or berries? A. By mixing a pinch of baking soda with the cream, before pouring. Q. How can I make my own, furniture polish? A.

It seems a little bit Jurfrler to get around in - the winfir since we retired, but we try to be prepared for most anything. You can learn a lot from nature, so we follow some natural rules when rough winter weather is headed our way. The squirrel stores food for the winter and flat's something I be lieve in. Since we've retired our freezer has become one of our most useful appliances. We can buy food and meats when they are on sale and store them until they are needed. We also buy larger quantities of food, knowing, what ever we don't use at one meal can easily be frozen and used again. And our freezer is a life saver when we are snowed in or when the roads are icy sfiid slick. You don't notice too many ani mals out during a severe<stormr but you do see a lot of people otit there^shing to get last minuje supplies. We always try to l#ep the freezer, cupboards, and pantry well stocked and the fuel supply as full as possible. Our kitchen is prepared for anything. We could, live quite comfortably for a cou-, ple of weeks on what we have. stocked up. ^ Being prepared saves so much trouble when winter storms strike.' Since we don't need anything, we don't have to rush out and shovel ( the driveway to get some supplies or endanger ourselves or others by having to drive to the stores. A little bit of wise planning help?' us not to be a burden to ourselves or others when the snow and sleet ^kHoyV ISA Bachelor 1 LIKE A r DET£R<3£NT?
