THE OSHAWA TIMES, sender, December 14, 1964 7 "Snoop " Tests Tuner Mother Of Student MANASQUAN, N.J. (AP) -- The mother of a high school student accuses school officials of using psychological tests to snoop on her family's private life. But New Jérsey state educa- tion officials say no snooping is involved and that the tests help plan a better school cur- riculum. The controversy started when Mrs. John J. Bannigan wrote to the governor and the state commissioner of education. She complained that her son, John, a first-year high school student, was asked to comment on whether he had a happy family life and how well his parents got along. "T think it's unfair to ask children to tell about their pri- vate affairs," said Mrs, Banni- gan. "It's an invasion of pri- vacy." Mrs. Bannigan, a housewife, also contends that psychological tests are being uséd as a cover- up for lazy and inefficient teach- ers. WANTS MORE HOMEWORK "My son Johnny is getting Cs and Ds because he's not get- ting enough homework," she said. "There are too many frills im the school cirriculum and this is one of them." She said many teachers to- day don't give homework as- signments because they're either too.lazy or too busy get- ting graduate degrees in order to qualify for higher salaries. The tests, she contended, are merely an excuse for putting the blame for Johnny's grades on his family environment. State education officials and Manasquan's school psycholo- gist dispute Mrs. Bannigan's claims. The tests are not really psychological tests, but are used as general surveys to help plan, a better curriculum, said Dr. J. Kirk Seaton, state direc- tor of school psychology. "But who can tell whether a student isn't learning because of mental deficiencies or be- cause he's emotionally dis- turbed without some sort of testing?" asked Seaton. Man Devoted Blood Donor MONTREAL (CP) -- Joseph Elmaleh has been demonstrat- ing his feeling of brotherhood with mankind in a practical way for 33 years, The 49-year-old father of nine children recently donated his 41st pint of blood here while visiting his daughter from his tative Morocco. 'A businessmen, he first gave blood when 2 boy he knew was badly burned. "The experience so moved me I have been do- ~ it ever since." e said he donates blood ev- ery 40 to 45 days. "Fortunately I have the health to be able to do it and I never feel better than after a donation," he said. He has received 10 medals from Red Cross_ societies throughout the world for his do- nations. "T feel very strongly that do- nating one's blood to save an- other's life is one of the most noble things a human being can do, It gives one a tremendous sense of brotherhood with all men, regardless of race or religion.""
