HOW TO BE HAPPY WITH HOMEWORK:
GUIDE FOR DISBELIEVING PARENTS
{Editor's Note: This is another
in a series of stories in which
various aspects of a student’s
relation with school are dis
cussed./
When school comes, can home
work be far behind?
It’s a wise parent who prepares
himself—and his child—for a
school year that will surely in
clude much work at home de
signed to supplement and broad
en work done in the classroom.
Unfortunately, says the Na
tional Education Association,
homework (kind, amount, fre
quency) too often is a fighting
word to some parents. One
mother says she “curses the day
Sputnik flew.” (She thinks her
son is being overloaded with
homework.) Another wants “my
children to have homework at
least once a week so I can check
their lessons and see how they’re
doing.” A third (after struggling
for an entire week end helping
Jimmy with a chart of the
heavens) wonders wearily just
who is being benefited by this
homework; and a fourth con
fesses, "We want to help with
homework, but we’re afraid to!”
If you’re like most parents,
however, you favor homework,
provided it’s reasonable i n
amount, geared to your child’s
abilities, really teaches hi m
something, and is of a type that
doesn’t throw the whole house
hold into a tizzy.
Most schools take these points
into account, according to the
National Educational Associa-

j swer questions that come up and i (

time. As one third-grade teacher
said, “Research of this kind is |,
like a game. We have acquired
information on everything from
kraals and cantilevered porches
to butter molds and grinding
stones. When a child turns up a
bit of hard-to-find information
and brings it to class, we all
beam.”
Another frequent kind of as
signment for the child is to col
lect information from you and
the rest of the family. For ex
ample, one teacher asked the
class to bring to school a list of
all their family’s arithmetic
problems for one week (parents’
eyes were opened on this one—
they didn’t realize how much
arithmetic they used every day). '
A third kind of homework
turns up when children working
on creative writing or written
reports want more time than
they have in class to elaborate
on or revise their efforts.
In other words, most schools
feel that homework should be an
extension, not of the school day,
but of learning activity, with as
signments that can be done
better away from school.
You can help by giving your
child a quiet corner that can be j
his homework island of peace i
and concentration. You may
need to be firm, too, in elimi
nating some of the distractions
.I1 ha t interfere with getting
| homework done —including TV
and little sisters.
And if you don’t understand
| the school’s homework policy—
| and why you can help on scrap-
I books, but not on subtraction—

LATE MRS. WALKER
EULOGIZED IN
PUBLICATION
The late wife of a former Sum
merville Methodist minister was
paid tribute in the current issue
of The North Georgia Methodist
Conference Journal.
The article about Mrs. Henry
Walker, who was killed in an
automobile accident Aug. 14.
1958, was written by Dean Wil
liam R. Cannon of the Candler
School of Theology at Emory
University.
“As a Christian lady, the
mistress of the parsonage, the
helpmate of her husband and
the consecrated servant of the
Lord, Dora Walker had lived far
in excess of most of us,” Dean
Cannon said. “Some years ago
she had been horribly burned
yet what impaired her body
seemed to enliven and deepen
her spirit. It added beauty and
attractiveness to her soul which
made her personality, naturally
radiant, even more winsome and
charming. Because of what she
had been through she was able
to strengthen as well as comfort
others in distress. Especially
gifted was she in her ministry
to the sick . . .
"In any life there must be rain
as well as sunshine, clouds of
despondency as well as bright
horizons of hope. Dora Walker
never wavered under adversity
She knew how to stand up
against criticism as well as ac
cept in becoming modesty adula
tion and praise.
"She will always be remem
bered for her grace and charm in
; her home, the dignity and peace
with which she received visitors,
even strangers, and made them
feel as if they belonged to her
family . . . She has been trans
lated from this world to the next
and the beauty of her character
I and the radiance of her person
, ality adorn the company of the
! elect in the presence of the Most
High God.”
The Rev. Mr. Walker, now at
. Sparta, pastored the Summer
ville Church from 1947 to 1951.
The Walkers’ daughter, Martha,
. is married to Ralph Chamblee
I formerly of Menlo and they now
. reside at Tusce.loo.sa, Ala.
