Telescope gift sparks talk of future careers in education
A family gives a high school senior a powerful telescope from Edmund Scientific Co. Bar On NJ, with 41 inch mirror and 8X finder. Dennis Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs Fred Williams, uses it to observe sunspots and planets, while his brothers are noted as honor students. The piece urges parents to guide sons toward professions rather than flashy gifts and cites Texas education data and the National Defense Act of 1958.
