Winning- Essay On Retarded Children 2 NEW COOPERATORS IN SOIL DISTRICT High school students in Allamakee county were encouraged to study the community health problems of mental retardation this year through an essay contest sponsored by the Iowa Association for Retarded Children. Approximately 300 students submitted essays and the Allamakee county unit of ARC presented an award of $10.00 to Jane Sires of New Albin for the first place winner.

Her winning entry is printed below. Education For The Menially Retarded By Jane Sires like millions of other Americans, am quite ignorant about mental retardation.

It was entirely different than I had expected.

I expected to see children who were inactive and sat quietly in their chairs. I expected the children to be capable of doing nothing, aside from uttering half sentences and gazing blankly at the wall. I expected to be in the classroom of poor incapable beings who were listless, uninterested, and looking as if any moment they would fall asleep. I was wrong. Upon entering this classroom, I observed that it was much like the one I had been accustomed to in grade school.

When the children came in, I noticed at once their faces. They looked so fresh and eager to learn. They gave me their biggest smile and tried to act normally under the eye of a strange visitor in their classroom. By themselves, they removed their coats and sat in their assigned seats. As one little boy exclaimed, "It's snowing several children ran to the window to see the big white flakes fan outside the like all school were told that' They were tausta, children are, only they learn is over again before completely understyj see them struggle and then give a faction when their 1 When something the teacher congtaf Their teacher plays "mother away Iron this mother will ty.
