This Old English Prayer is a witty yet
worthy plea: "Give us, Ix>rd, a bit o'sun, A
And a bit to spare for other's sake Give us
too, a bit of song, And a tale and a book to
help us along, Give us, Lord, a chance to be
Our goodly best, brave, wise, and free, Our
goodly best for ourselves and others Till all
men learn to live as brothers."

R.G.C. Local T.S.T.A.
Seeks Members
Members of the Rio Grande City Unit
have begun a drive aimed at bringing more
area teachers into the Texas State Teachers
Association ranks and into National
Education Association membership as well.
Local Association President Rafael
Trevinio, Jr. of Ringgold Jr. High said that
the benefits derived from TSTA NEA
membership can be of crucial importance to
teachers.
"Every year some 18,000 legal cases are
funded at a cost of over $12,000,000 by NEA
and state organizations such as TSTA," he
said. "We have a number of recent wins.
For example, a high school teacher in South
Texas recently won eight years' back pay,
reinstatement, and attorneys' fees after not
being rehired because of a roleplaying
technique she used in her American history
class. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
found her nonrenewal unconstitutional. "He
continued, "Another benefit of membership
is liability insurance for members against
claims arising from on-the-job activities.
The amount of coverage can go up to
$500,000."
TSTA NEA also is the teachers'
representative in Washington and Austin.
The Cabinet-level Department of
Education exists due to years of hard work
by NEA, its affiliates, and thousands of
individual teachers who lobbied in
Congress.
Lobbying efforts in Austin have won
economic gains for teachers despite the
governor: across-the-board raise plus ex-
perience increments, and no merit pay.
More money for education and retirement.
The raise is not enough to keep up with in-
flation, but TSTA is going back to the 1981
legislature with a major salary proposal
and three other proposals affecting job
security, health insurance, and collective
bargaining.
In instruction and professional
development, TSTA NEA has a variety of
workshops dealing with such teacher
concerns as stress, maintaining discipline,
mainstreaming handicapped students, and
providing bilingual' multicultural
education.
Resource materials such as NEA's topical
kits on subjects such as standardized testing
and class size are valuable for teacher
growth. Publications members receive
outlook, Today's Education, and NEA
Reporter keep members informed about
current trends and topics of interest.
"The range of benefits TSTA NEA
membership procides is quite com-
preheasive," he said. "We hope that all
teachers in the area will join with us."
For more information, teachers are in-
vited to contact Rafael Trevino Jr.
President, or Julio Saenz, Jr. Membership
