PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER-FR1DAY. FEBRUARY 11, 1»7$ Catholic Education Week Extension Seeks Hosts For Japanese Youths A 10 to 15 year old who's 10,000 miles from home can get homesick unless he has a place he can call "home," says Ann McArdle, McHenry county Extension adviser. The Cooperative Extension service is seeking "homes" for ap­ proximately 150 Japanese youngsters scheduled to arrive in Illinois about July 23. «• Although the majority of the Japanese youth will be from 10 to 15 years of age, there will be about fifteen teen leaders aged 15 to 19 and several adults accompanying the group. Host families are needed for the period from late July to late August, states Ann. The Japanese youth are part of the Labo International Exchange FRIDAY NITE SPECIAL!

The program provides a first­ hand opportunity for American families to share themselves and their way of life with it person of another culture. In addition to living with a host family for three weeks, the Japanese youth will share a one week camping experience with their American host family youth. The Labo exchange program began in 1973 as a program aimed at adapting Japanese youngsters to other cultures. This cross-cultural exchange is aimed at improving the Japanese children's ability to speak English and to help them and their host families gain an appreciation of each other's culture. This is the second group of Japanese youth to be visiting in Illinois, says Ann. During the summer of 1974, forty-five youths spent three weeks visiting families in Grundy, Kendall, Lake, and Will counties in northern Illinois. This year the exchange program is available to families throughout Illinois. Persons interested in serving as hosts or want more in­ formation should contact Dave Plocher, or Ann McArdle at the McHenry county Extension office, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Thompson of Greenwood, or Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Harrison of Woodstock, county in­ ternational coordinators.

Feb. 8-14 is Catholic Schools week in the nation and Montini Catholic schools are observing the week by pointing out how it implements this year's slogan, "Put God In". The administration said the entire basis for Montini is religious education and the fact that as a Catholic school it tries to organize and operate itself according to the Christian ethic and lifestyle. This is done not only by the formal teaching of religion but also in the way the day-to-day school life is lived. Catholic schools have traditionally been charac­ terized by fine academic programs and good discipline and structure. Montini feels that it is a credit to the tradition in American education and is proud of its programs and structure. Montini is using this week to kick-off its 1976-77 registration program which will gradually build up to the formal registration day for new students in March. " 'Put God In' -- into the curriculum, into the values we live by, the decisions we make, the lifestyle we live. This is the meaning of Montini and all Catholic schools," the ad­ ministration said this week. At the present time there are 592 students at Montini. They are taught by twenty-six teachers and two ad­ ministrators, eight of whom are religious sisters and twenty lay instructors. Supt. Ronald Svoboda em­ phasizes that the competence and dedication of the staff is one of the strongest assets as the schools provide quality education within a faith- community atmosphere. He said the school is extremely, grateful to the staff, especially Sister Mary Paattna, center, principal of Montini Primary school, is shown with the two first level teachers, Mrs. Judy Irwin, left, and Miss Susan Santelli, right. They are examining their new school brochure that will be distributed to all interested persons. Registration for incoming first level students will be Sunday, March 14, after all Masses.

Supt. Svoboda pointed out that the school's 1975-76 budget is $235,576 which is just a 2 percent raise from the 1974-75 budget. Marian Central Catholic high school, one of five central Catholic high schools in the Catholic diocese of Rockford, is the third largest in enrollment with current 704 students. This is a significant increase from an enrollment of 435 in 1970. Marian was founded in 1959 to care for the educational needs of the fourteen Catholic parishes in McHenry county. Additionally, Marian has opened its doors for students of ' other religious denominations as well Marian offers an excellent academic program in basic programs of Math, Science, Social Studies, English and offers an equally excellent program in the specialized areas of Secretarial Science, Music, Art and Mechanical Drawing. Besides these programs, Marian offers a comprehensive program of religious studies in general,- religious information and in- depth knowledge of the Catholic faith. Marian also includes a full athletic program of * physical education and varsity and junior-varisty athletics. A Marian goal in education is to provide an atmosphere where strong academic lear­ ning takes place as well as an awareness of social and Christian values. This takes place not only in the special courses taught, but also in the example and concern of each faculty member as they meet the students throughout the day's activities. It is this added dimension of Christian value learning and personal discipline which makes Marian the special school that it is. The school is financed by a limited assessment of funds from the fourteen Catholic parishes, plus tuition and fund- raising events. Registration for eighth graders is scheduled for this Sunday, Feb. 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Information on this special day for freshmen registration or any inquiries may be directed to the school during the business day. During National Catholic Education week, Father James C. Moses, superintendent of the McHenry county board of Catholic education, released statistics regarding Catholic schools in the county. Catholic schpols are educating 2,861 pupils this year, 704 at Marian and 2,157 in the seven elementary schools. Although Marian increased by 5 percent over last year, the overall picture shows a 1 percent decrease from 1974-75. The Catholic schools employ 126 staff members or a ratio of one staff member per 22 pupils. However, this staff total in­ cludes counselors, ad­ ministrators, parish priests jwho teach part time and half- day teachers. The full time teacher to pupil ratio is closer to 1 to 30. Of the 126 staff members, thirty are religious and ninety- six are lay teachers; ninety-one have Bachelor's degrees and thirty-two have Master's degrees or beyond. The professional level and com­ mitment of the staff is con­ sidered one of the major assets of the Catholic school system, Father Moses explained. The total estimated ex­ penditures of the schools this year is $1,500,000. Average per persink, Richmond, 'to manufacture and sell electrical power supplies. Grow Your Own Such herbs as dill, savory, parsley, thyme, borage, sage, marjoram and basil can eas­ ily be grown in your own home in pots Many other herbs, too. can be bought in seed form and some may be obtained as live plants pupil expenditure is $525. The total expense package is up by 17 percent from last year, according to Father Moses. Funding the Catholic schools will be a major pre-occupatidn for the next several years. The Catholic Education foundation will distribute approximately $14,000 to schools and CCD programs this year and that amount will grow each year. Eventually, the foundation will be a major source of support for the schools, Father Moses explained, but for the present time, other fund raising projects will continue to exist. "The Catholic schools in our county are characterized by a great variety of educational experiences and techniques," Father Moses said. "The quality of instruction is where our strength lies and the teaching task is enhanced by the contributions of competent , administrators and clergy and interested and cooperative parents," he concluded. Display Of '76 Plates Due On Cars February 15 Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett has reminded Illinois residents that 1976 license plates must be displayed on all passenger and recreational vehicles, trailers and campers and motrcycles no later than midnight Sunday, Feb. 15.
