KSTA told self-esteem vital in work Self-esteem can make the difference between an effective teacher and one who has problems with discipline in class. This was one of the points emphasized by John Valusek, a Wichita clinical psychologist, speaking at the second general assembly of the 1969 Kansas State Teachers Association Friday. Five thousand teachers from northeast Kansas attended the meeting Thursday and Friday at Allen Field House. Valusek said that society makes emotional slaves of both adults and children by teaching them at an early age to measure their worth by conventional criteria of success. He said teachers must learn to value themselves according to subjective standards, not those imposed by society. "Teachers who do not condemn themselves for not living up to pre-determined standards are free to accept and love their pupils," he said. Valusek also said that teachers should encourage the emotional expression of their pupils, since society-imposed repression could cause later problems such as ulcers.

We'll save you a trip or two. Or three. Every tampon you use is a trip to the Powder Room. have to use, the fewer trips you have to make. That's the beauty of meds tampons. They're so absorbent you'll probably need fewer of them. MEDS are made differently. That's why. They're made with soft, absorbent rayon. First, there's a gentle rayon cover. Then a layer of rayon fibers that absorb quickly. Then another layer of fine rayon storage fibers that absorb steadily. And in the center, a cushioned layer that holds and holds some more. Can you imagine? Some tampons are just chunks of cotton. No wonder you probably need more of them. This month try meds. They come in regular or super with a soft polyethylene applicator.
