Vincent On Her Trip The Ouachita parish classroom teachers were privileged to hear the mixed chorus, Ouachita Parish High School, under the direction of Miss Romona Cormier. These young people were at their best in several South Sea Island numbers, which were received by an enthusiastic audience. On the same program as guest speaker was Mrs. Josephine McDowell who very ably discussed "Benefits of Sabatieal Leave to Mrs. McDowell said in part: could not discuss Sabatieal leave without first offering my thanks to the classroom teachers throughout the state for all the well-fare laws for teachers.

To this group goes the deserved credit for such laws as the law regarding Sabati- cal leave. This is often confused with sick should not be. A teacher receive- sick leave with out Sabati- cal leave is granted after application is made and passed on by those in authority. This leave is due any teacher with six years continued service in a parish. It may be secured for rest and recuperation study or travel.

I found that. my year of Sabatieal leave gave rue an entirely new out-look on teaching. It gave me an opportunity to re-adjust myself to my work and gave me a new vision in teaching. It pointed cut to me that I was taking a part in training the resources of the future citizens. In my opinion a teacher deserves this rest and are better teachers after the rest.

Mrs. W. S. Vincent, principal of Sherrouse School and past president of the Louisiana Parent- Teacher Association, brought to the group a report of the recent White House conference she attended at Washington, D. C.

Mrs. Vincent said; "This was the fifth White House first was called by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1909, which stimulated the creation of a bureau. President Woodrow Wilson called the second in formulated the first important body of child health and welfare standards. A session in 1930 called by President Herbert Hoover, brought out the charter.

Roosevelt in 1940 which highlighted the importance of the child in a democracy. This, the fifth conference called bv President Harry S.

Alison Davis, Mrs. Vincent continued, from the middle-income group suck their thumbs much more than youngsters from low-income families. The middle-class child is pressed by parents to learn too early and too fast as a result children in this group are more worried than the other group. Many teachers fail to understand the basic cultural habits of the lower-income children. A great fund of abilities and many new abilities are not recognized or developed schools.

Mrs.

Vincent pointed out the impossibility of bringing a complete resume of this great conference but she did bring to the group many points which give food for thought.
