Swaim Teachers Pleased With Address To Workshops In two separate sessions, Districts 15 and 156 teachers were highly pleased by the remarks of Dr. Hugh Schoephoerster at a pre school inservice workshop Aug. 26. Dr. Schoephoerster is a nationally recognized reading teacher, director, and author. The guest speaker has served as director of the Minnesota Right To Read Program since 1972, during which time he was also special assistant to the commissioner of education for reading instruction. ' Since graduating from Moorhead State college in 1954, he has been a classroom teacher, principal, college professor and f school consultant. He has authored nine different publications including the 1976 Houghton-Mifflin reading test series. Dr. Schoephoerster's message to. staff was to teach for mastery ofskills in reading. He recommended a strategy Of continuous progress which stressed basic skills development and mastery before another step in learning be taught or taken. He cautioned educators that consistency in philosophy^ of curriculum is essential in order that successful learning can be achieved. ' THE BIBLE AND EVOLUTION Dear Mr. Swaim, in school we are taught that man evolved from lower creatures. The Gen­ esis account of creation is of­ ten scoffed at. What is your op­ inion? Is evolution compatible with the Bible? It is my opinion that to be­ lieve the Bible is the divine, infallible word of God, and on the other hand believe that man came into being by the process of evolution, is incon­ sistent. The word teaches, "But God giveth a body as it hath pleased Him; to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, an­ other flesh of beasts, and an­ other of fish and another of birds" [I Corinthians 15:38- 9]. In the beginning, God created the universe and all life. To reason that the Gen­ esis account of creation is un­ true is to cast grave reflec­ tions and doubts upon the en­ tire Bible. If that account is not true, then how do we know the rest of it is? Who is to decide what is truth and what is error? It is significant thatevolutionis only a theory, that is, it cannot be scientific­ ally proven. For this reason, since it is only a concept of men, why not continue to place our faith in God and His word, and in doing so, prove our belief in the infallibility of His word? "...Keepthatwhich is com­ mitted to thy (trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and opposition of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concer­ ning the faith..." [I Timothy 6:20-1]. For a confidential and Bib­ lical answer to your ouestion, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, NE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30306. Students at McHenry West campus who are considering attending college after graduation will have five op­ portunities during the 1977-78 school year to use the ACT Assessment program, a guidance-oriented service that is used each year by students throughout the nation as part of their college and career planning. - The first of five national test dates on which the ACT Assessment tests will be of­ fered is Saturday morning, Oct. 8. Junior or senior students planning to take the exams on that date must have registered by Sept. 12, it was announced by Mrs. Shirley Rogers, Guidance department. Mrs. Rogers said the full 1977-78 schedule of national test dates (with registration periods in parentheses) is: Oct. 8 (Aug. 8-Sept. 12); Nov. 19, (Sept. 26-- Oct. 21); Feb. 11, (Nov. 14--Jan. 13); April 1, (Feb. 6--March 3); June 17, (March 27--May 19). At area test centers on those dates it takes students about three, hours to complete four standardized exams (covering subject areas of English, math, social studies, and natural sciences) that make up the test. section. The ACT Assessment's other important section is . a two-part questionnaire that is completed by students at home as part of the registration process. „ The test scores provide an assessment of general educational development and the questionnaire section in­ formation focuses on academic and nonacademic ac­ complishments and interests, anticipated tweeds, as well as educatiohal and career plans. The resulting test scores and extensive questionnaire in­ formation are used by students and their counselors and families to assist in education,' and career planning. The in­ formation is also used by colleges for academic ad-; visement, admissions coufi-^ seling, course sectioning and -i " placement, student services,;, and institutional research. ; \ There is a basic student feet for the ACT Assessment* program, which is recom4 mended or required for use by * student applicants at more than * 2,600 colleges and scholarship * agencies. - •§ The program is one of several» guidance-oriented educational ^ services provided for students V and educational institutions by • ACT (The American College I Testing program).

CYCLE TIPS Riding In Traffic When riding in traffic, make lure that other motor­ ists can see you. Many, car drivers are not accustomed to seeing motorcycles on the road, so they may not be alert to your presence or adequately anticipate the activity of your vehicle at different speeds. Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., out of its Santa Ana, Calif., headquarters, offers the following sugges­ tions for safe travel through traffic: 1. Make yourself and your bike visible. Before riding in traffic, check to . see if the machine you are riding has reflectors. These Should be mounted at the rear of the bike on either side. At night, motorists may not be able to see your head or taillight. Side reflec­ tors are more visible. Riders should wear light- reflecting or bright colored clothing. For added protec­ tion, add strips or patches of reflec tori zed material to the back and sides of your helmet. „ . * Finally, leave your head­ light on when riding. 2. Learn the knack of rider to-driver communica­ tion. At stop sign, you may wave cars on. To make a lane change, use your turn signsl and then look to see if the driver is giving you room. When turning or slowing, signsl as soon as possible. 3., Establish a two-second following distance. Pick a fixed point in front of a vehicle • you're following. When the vehicle ahead passes the fixed point, start your two-second count. Af­ ter you complete the count, the fixed point should still be in front of you. The two-second technique will work at any speed. 4. Improve your visual scaryjtfng. Never let your e^es "fix" on any one object for more than two seconds. Experienced riders keep moving their eyes so they crfn search for hazar­ dous conditions and events. When you enter an inter­ section where you have the right-of-way, attempt to make eye contact with other motorists and pedestrians also approaching the inter­ section. If you are unable to make eye contact, be pre­ pared to stop. Keep track of traffic to your sides and rear. Your cycle mirrors will help you search. the traffic scene. However, rear view mirrors alone will not give you full view of ,the traffic to the sides or rear. Therefore, when you prepare to change lanes or merge with traffic, turn your head quickly to see if another vehicle is crowding you from the side or is about to overtake you from the rear. With the continuing pop­ ularity of street bikes, more, and more motorcycles are wending their way through traffic. Following these tips from Kawasaki, you will im­ prove your awareness and learn to anticipate potential traffic problems. Riding in traffic requires different skills of a motorcyclist than driving a car. This motorcyclist hss msde himself visible to drivers, a rule of the road.
