Pag-e 4 THE BATTALION Thursday,? PeTDruary 2; 1956 Program Gets Attention his college* According to Holmes, results in the Industrial Consolidated School have been phenomenal. Holmes said personal problems among the students have declined more than 50 percent since the program was instituted. Jim Clark, principal, said that only three discipline cases severe enough to warrant princi pal’s action have been encountered in three years. Percentage of students attend ing college has jumped from 17 percent to a high of 55 percent. Scholastic grades have increased one letter grade during the time the program has operated and ab senteeism and dropouts have been greatly reduced, Clark said. The school board at Industrial Consolidated High School has been so favorably impressed by the change in the school that it author ized Holmes and Clark to travel anywhere in Texas at Industrial Consolidated high school’s expense to tell their counseling story. Walton says the secret of the program rests in the use of lay people, cooperation of parents, and in training every teacher in simple fundamentals of counseling. The stress of modern-day society is too great for teenagers without more help than they get, Walton believes. One and one-third million children came to the attention of police in 1954 and the percentage is rapidly increasing, he pointed out in com menting on the need for effective guidance.

Hol mes, superintendent of the Indus trial Consolidated High School at Vanderbilt, where the program is in operation. Holmes recently received a let ter from the editor of This Week magazine expressing* interest in the program. Several schools throughout Texas are planning to develop guidance programs under the Walton method. Z.
