Their education may continue in "classroom" study, as in the Parent Teacher Information and parliamentary procedure courses, where formal instruction is given in PTA policy, procedures, and practices, or perhaps in the informal manner described last week. Parent education courses of all kinds are offered by local units or by councils to bring the latest information about child raising to parents. Another kind of education takes place through use of National and Stale PTA publications.

There are the usual booklets of instruction about the functions and operations of PTA guidebooks for local units and councils, handbooks for officers and chairmen, reports on committee studies and surveys, like the recent reports on child molestation and mass media. Then there are packets for administrators and guidelines for cooperation with the schools. National PTA alsn publishes a highlight series covering such subjects as: Thinking Straight about Drinking, Your Gifted Child, How to Love a Country, Being Wise in Membership, The Amer- can Way: Safeguarding Our Rights and Liberties; a character and spiritual education pamphlet, In All Good Faiths; The Story of the Rocky Mountain Project, a joint report of the National Congress of PTA and the American Social Health Association on family life education; and a guide to good safely habits, Signals for Safety. The California Congress of Parents and Teachers pub- lishes such other handbooks as one on juvenile protection, "Our American Heritage," parent education packets for parents of school age, adolescents, pre school, and junior high school children, and a recreation handbook. The Commission on Tests and Testing of the CASSA.

How about driving licenses and driving attitudes for teenagers? Ed Lorenzen, coordinator, Safety and Driver Education, California State College at Long Beach, has some suggestions for parents. Then there is "Teen Age Code of Conduct for Parents," "What Do You Know About and Dr. Mary S. Calderone's "Adolescent Sexual Behavior --Whose Responsibility?" taken from her address at the national PTA convention last spring. There are movie reviews, advice on how to recognize signs of mental and emotional stability, bus riders' safety rules, how to be burglar proof, and reading lists for children.

The magazines provide almost "instant" knowledge. They should be a familiar item In every home library. Pasadena PTA Council helps to-make learning convenient, also. A whole library of educational pamphlets has been assembled for council members' use. The library is housed in a special rolling shelf cart which, along with a starter library, was presented as a gift to council about two years ago.

Reading materials may be checked out each month at the regular executive board meetings. The library is kept up-to-date and is well used, as the slightly worn look of the booklets attests.
