Challenged the encyclopaedia Britannica announced it will investigate to negate charges of inaccuracies. Ftp a about time. The encyclopaedia Britannica deserves credit for dealing with the matter directly and not being intimidated by indignant scientists who must soon come to grips with the can of Worms they have opened for themselves. A Joan r. Gibson Kapaun air station Germany Benefit questioned recently As a Cost cutting measure the department of defense dependents schools released one teacher from my school at midyear. The 19 children in her room were divided into the remaining three classrooms. This change increased the class size to 28 children per class affected eight classrooms and disrupted the education of More than 150 students in the third and fourth grades. The amount saved was one teacher s salary $23,000. I am appalled to learn that the amount saved from that teachers salary was equal to the Cost of three new Marble floors in the Capitol Hill elevators. And people wonder what is wrong with education today. A Dorothy Meckes Baum older Germany a cars cheaper in . I recently purchased a Geo prize through cafes military car sales thinking i was getting the Best Price. I just returned from Home leave in the United states. I discovered i could have gotten the same car for $3,000 less. You might want to inform personnel returning to the states to wait until they get Back before buying that new car. I could have gotten a fully loaded Oldsmobile in Florida for what i paid for the prize. A Richard Fischer Wiesbaden Germany a methods of discipline in response to the letter a parental prerogative a i would like to address the Issue of a child s prerogative. Children arrive in this world helpless and unable to thrive without us. Our Job is to love and nurture them and to teach them How to live. Websters dictionary defines discipline As a to train by instruction or exercise punishment is a to impose a penalty As of pain suffering shame strict restraint or lose upon for some fault offence or violation and finally spank is defined a to slap on the buttocks with a Flat object or with the open hand As  note it says punishment not  in a a Parent. I feel that most of us would say we want our children to grow to be a positive influence on the world a productive accomplished and the embodiment of All that is Good. I can to begin to fathom the Parent who would gaze upon a Newborn child and Hope this child would grow to be violent or disturbed. To use pain to encourage our children to thrive seems to be a Gross contradiction. I find it appalling that a Parent would consider a child to be his or her property to dispense with As he or she sees fit. Children Are not property but persons with rights that should be protected. The right to feel that Home is a Safe place where we do not need to suffer pain seems to be very Basic  you say there Are no guarantees that despite our Best efforts As parents our children will turn out right. A recent writer is a proud that her children Are Well adjusted and the school age child is an Honor Roll student. Intelligence does not guarantee non violence. Some of the most violent or anti social behaviour can be exhibited by persons of extreme intelligence. Despite the violence and terrorism in the world today nowhere is there More violence Between family members than in the Good old Usa. A recent writer said Quot maybe this is saying something about the values of discipline  it definitely says something about our methods of discipline.

The blame should be put where it belongs a on themselves. When you tolerate or ignore criminal acts or Only punish the violator lightly you Are just As guilty As the violator. You have no moral right to cry when you become the victim. A recent article tells of a Man with five previous convictions for driving under the influence who was arrested again after fatally injuring a 28-year-old Mother of three while dui. His a a punishment five years in prison and $1,500 in  if you commit a felony with a firearm you Are by Federal Law prohibited from Ever owning a firearm again and the gun you used is confiscated. Why do we not do the same with dui cases confiscate the automobile the truth is the problem is not with a mechanical object car gun. The problem is people people who misuse mechanical devices and people who done to have the Backbone to severely punish those who misuse their equipment. You cannot solve a problem by outlawing an object or substance. You have to Deal with the person who misuses that object or substance. . Butts Kitzinger Germany a a a the perfect candidate now that the �?T92 presidential Campaign has begun with the ceremonial first mudslinging i think it is time to help the readers spot the perfect candidate for this very important office. A he i use the term As a general expression with no inference to gender will have some ties to a state with a Large electoral College vote As Well As another smaller simpler state. In this Way he can be sophisticated As Well As simple. A he will be personally opposed to abortion while maintaining every persons right to Choice. He will push the letters to the editor traditional values of family and maintain the privacy of the bedroom As Well As lifestyle. A he will show concern for the environment but allow Industry to maintain the status quo for the Sake of the Economy. He will also Force other countries to increase american purchases without making american companies become More competitive. A he will Cut taxes and maintain or increase the budgets of defense housing and Urban development health and human services and other agencies. He will maintain Dod weapons systems projects whether they work or not. A he will be associated with a Middle of the Road major protestant denomination. A he will be asexual having the required 2.3 children and a spouse who is neither Good looking nor unattractive. He will either be a Saint or dead from the Waist Down. He will also have the personality of a Rock to assure he does no to offend anyone by word act or deed. A he will be White with an african asian american Indian and latin background. There you have it the politically Correct perfect candidate. You will notice however that nowhere have i said that the candidate will have an idea As to How to solve the various problems. Intelligence is not a prerequisite for candidacy. A Patrick Ludwa Heilbronn Germany a postal mix up i received a package this week from the Eddie Bauer Catalon.
