Educator Says Schools Now
Have More Responsibilities
(Editor’s Note: The following
article was written by Dr. Louise
Wood Seyler, deputy superintend
ent of Los Angeles city schools,
voted woman of the year in edu
cation for 1956 in the Associated
Press women’s editors’ poll. In it
this distinguished educator out
lines some of the problems that
face America’s public schools.)
By DR. LOUISE SEYLER
The public schools of today are
faced with many problems. The
fact that schools are faced with
problems is nothing new, but the
type of prbblems becomes in
creasingly complex.
I am referring particularly to
the pressure from the community
for the assumption by the schools
of greater and greater respon
sibilities. An elementary school
which concerned itself only with
the Three R’s would be most un
satisfactory to a modern com
munity, I am sure.
Let me explain by an example or
two: Today we take for granted
that we must furnish some type
of health services. Today we gear

of the children of all of the people.
This means the atypical child as
well as the typical. This means the
child handicapped with physical
problems as well as the physically
perfect child.
The pupil in high school is faced
with a program of many require
ments. Each of these requirements
is fine in itself, but we are at
present almost to the point where
anything new to be introduced
means a withdrawal of something
being taught at present.
Since 1900 our population has
increased 100 per cent. Since 1900

creased 1400 per cent. With an
increase like this unheard of any

How can we best meet the needs

Early in the educational career,
counseling and guidance help must
be given, so that each individual in

New Recipes Bring
Zest To Yam Dishes
Flower Show DiscnssecI
Houston Woman Speaks
At Garden Club Meeting
By CECILY BROWNSTONE
Associated Press Food Editor
Ya'ms are good mixers. Their
smooth texture, sweet and bland,
combines well with other foods.
We like to bake them in their
skins, scoop out the orange flesh,
mash it with butter and salt and
add finely diced celery—for crisp
texture contrast—along with other
flavorsome tidbits.
Then back the filling goes into
the shells and the stuffed yams
are returned to the oven for re
heating. If you don’t wish to
spoon the pulp back into the po
tato shells, you may turn it into
individual scallop shells or a shal
low casserole—a pie dish is fine—
for reheating in the oven.
Here are several variations on
this basic theme. You’ll find that
although each flavor-change has a
distinct personality of its own, all
of them taste good with roast
chicken, duck or turkey.
These recipes were tested with
the deep yellow, sugary and moist
sweet potatoes called yams and so
no extra sweetening or liquid were
needed.
SPICY STUFFED YAMS
Ingredients: 4 medium-sized
yams (1 3 4 pounds), 2 tablespoons
butter or margarine, 4 tablespoons
apple butter, Vz cup finely diced
celery, salt.
Method: Scrub yams in cold
water; dry. Bake in hot (425 de
grees) oven until soft—about 45
minutes. Immediately cut thin
slice from the top of each potato
with a sharp knife or kitchen
scissors; scoop out pulp and put
through ricer or food mill.
Stir in butter and apple butter,
then celery and salt to taste.
Spoon back into shells; return to
oven until very hot—about 15 min
utes. Serve at once. Makes 4
servings. (Once yams have baked
tender, don’t let them stand around
in or out of the oven or skins will

Home.”
probably get soggy and it may
be impossible to scoop out pulp
without tearing them.)
Note: The amount of apple
butter called for in this recipe
gave a delicate spice flavor; a
little more of the apple butter
may be added if desired.
WALDORF STUFFED YAMS
Use recipe for Spicy Stuffed
Yams but substitute Vz cup finely
diced peeled raw apple for the
apple butter.
GOLDEN STUFFED YAMS
Use recipe for Spicy Stuffed
Yams but substitute 9 to 12 dried
apricots for the apple butter. Soak
the apricots in very hot water for
5 to 10 minutes, then drain and
dice fine before adding to yam
mixture.
MISSION STUFFED YAMS
Use recipe for Spicy Stuffed
Yams but substitute 4 dried figs
for the apple butter. Soak the
figs in very hot water until soft
ened, if necessary, then clip stems
and dice fine before adding to the
yam mixture.
KITCHEN NOTES
Use yams promptly after you
bring them home from the mar
ket because they do not keep well
at room temperature.
Leftover cooked yams are de
licious when sliced or diced and
browned in butter in a skillet.
Always drain yams you are,
boiling as soon as they are tender
so they won’t become waterlogged.
Both grated lemon and orange
rind add good flavor to masked
yams.
Yams are worthwhile using in
family meals because they are a
rich source of vitamin A; they
also provide worthwhile quantities
of vitamin C and small amounts
of the B vitamins and minerals.
Possibilities and problems of
the spring flower show schedule
were discussed by Mrs. J. L. Webb
of Houston at the Friday after
noon meeting of the A&M Garden
Club.
Members and guests of the
club gathered in the Memorial
Student Center to hear Mrs. Webb
explain that while the schedule
covers a long period and offers
many opportunities for interpi'et-
ation, enti-ies are often bound by
strict limitations.
Mrs. Webb had prepared 15
examples to illustrate how she
would fulfill schedule require
ments.
For “Gatherings from the
Garden of Eden,” she chose a
semi-aquatic setting, using an ir
regular glass plate, scraps of mol
ten glass, coral, water birds, a
small green serpent, yellow acacia
and a red apple.
“The Stone* Age” was simply
done—a mound of stone and rough
wood eai’ried a few sprays of
vari-colored foliage.
The Egyptian, the Creek and
Roman, the Chinese and the Jap
anese influences were incorporated
in arrangements Mrs. Webb
showed to illustrate “An Offering
to a God.”
She expressed “The Joy of
Spring” with three tulips and an
upper level of bamboo spi'outs.
“The Oregon Trail” was the
theme chosen by Mrs. Webb for
the class entitled “Pioneer Days.”
In a forest of acacia, red berries
and foliage, she depicted a woman
loading her husband’s gun in the
fight against Indians, while on the
other side of the forest a hunter
was shown shooting bear.
For the present-day Early
American decor, she had filled a
handsome copper-toned container
with bright fruit, dried grasses,
flowers and thistle.
One of her most striking pieces
was made to suggest the “Tropics
of South America.” For this, Mrs.
Webb combined heavy foliage with
the brilliant blooms of the Bird
of Paradise flower.
In her arrangements for “The
Atomic Age” Mrs. Webb used Ce-
cropia leaves to depict clouds of
smoke, Anthurium blooms as
tongues of flame, test tubes of
bright liquids, and spi'ays of
flame-colored gladioli.
To open the meeting, Mrs. R.
E. Patterson gave the invocation.
Mrs. Webb was introduced by Mrs.
Tom Taylor.
At the conclusion of the pro
gram Mrs. C. B. Campbell askp'd
for helpers to work in the ceme
tery at 9 a.m. Wernesday. Hos
tesses for the day were the Mes-
dames John Ashton, R. L. Brown
and J. S. Roberts.
