Tonight, the native problem by Robert Checkley.

But first, hear this.

This is Marion Baker of Atlanta, Georgia.

As a teacher, there is a problem that I feel quite acutely.

True, both of these situations should be remedied.

But actually, what I would like to speak to you about is something which should be quite close to you as parents.

Each day in your community there are quite probably children who will miss valuable days in school simply because

of preventable illnesses.

but give equal consideration to the way in which you look after your children's needs.
