SCHOLARSHIPS
Not all students in Indonesia canafford their school
fees. They are still quite
young
and they want more education although their parents are poor. Most of their
parents
are farmers, factory workers, fishermen, and becak drivers. Their wages or
salaries
are too low to pay the school fees. The school fees are high especially in
cities
or
towns. not only in goverment schools but also in private They need money
for
school fees and books. Money and books are vital importance for student.
Poor students are in need of help. Scholarships are
badly needed. So it is time
for
the foundations and organizations to think about this problem. Scholarships are
financial
awards given to clever of qualified students to be used for tuition, board,
and
books. Scholarships are given by schools, colleges, and universities as well as
,
by
public and private institutions and organizations. Scholarships are needed by
qualified
students of a needy family and orphans. As long as they are clever or
qualified
they can get the scholarship. So scholarship is usually an annual grant to a
clever
or qualified student to enable him to continue his studies. They should make
much
progress in every subject they take. .
To those who have got scholarships are advised to
spend the time wisely. They
should
not idle away their time, because get scholarship which is limited is not easy.
Sometimes
the teachers give the tasks first to choose the qualified students. If they
succeed
in their examination or have good marks in every terminal, the scholarships
will
continually given to them. Hopefully they become scientists or people who are
needed
for the development of our country.

Informal education
Now education takes many fonns. There is formal
educatioan, which is carried g
on
in schools. And there is informal education, which goes on in other settings.
People
are being educated all the time. learning from others and teaming by them-
selves.
To most people, education means schools. But education
has many other
sources
as well as home, farm, museum, television, advertising, newspaper and
magazines,
sports events, and practical experience. Education also takes place in
mosques,
churches and temples.
A home is a place where people cook, eat, sleep, and
care for their children.
Girls
can learn how to cook from their mothers, boys can learn from their fathers how
to
grow vegetables, to milk a cow and to raise chickens.
Living close to the land, farm children begin to learn
the way of nature before
they
realize they are teaming. They watch plants develop from tiny seeds. They care
for
baby animals from the moment oi birth. Farm children help both parents.
Children
gather
eggs from the hen coop, help with the gardening. or sort apples for marketing.
Some
take the job of feeding and caring for one or more of the farm house.
Museums are places where collections of objects are
preserved and displayed.
There
are museum devoted to art, science. history; industry, and technology. But mu-
seums
are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums,
large
or small, carry on eductional programmers. Museums otter guided tours. lec-
tures,
films, music recitals. art lessons, and other attractions, Many large museums
have
extensive libraries with the help of good librarians open to qualified
researches.
Television is not only a source of entertainment, but
is also in major of news
and
infomiantion, as well as a valuable tool for science, education, and industry.
Minutes after an event takes place, newspapers are on
the streets giving de-
tails.
Newspapers have one basic purpose — to get the news as quickly as possible
from
those who know it to those who want to know it.
Teaching can take place in a mosque, musholla (small
mosque) or 'pondok
pesantren’.
The children here are taught about lslamand life. They must never wor-
ship
anything or anyone but God. They should not eat pork, drink alcohol or taste
blood.
They not gamble.They must help orphans and be kind to strangers. They
should
treat other Moslem as their brothers.

Marriage
Marriage is the union of two persons as husband ad
wife. They love each other
and
marriage will unite them. So marriage is usually based on true love. They have
come
of age and they are couple of marriageable age. lt means they are fit for mar-
riage.
A boy of marriageable age is at least twenty-one and a girls of marriageable
age
is eighteen. Their powers of body and mind are expected to be fully developed.
The marriage is a civil and religious contract between
the bride and the groom.
The
religious ceremonies and celebrations very with customs of the country in which
the
marriage is held. People of wealth celebrate with festive, that begin two or
three
days
before the wedding and continue for four or three days after. The bridge is
elaborately
dressed in bright colors and wears her finest jewelry. The wedding takes
place
at the home of the bride. The service (for Moslem) is performed by Muslim
priest,
before at least two male witnesses. Then they get marriage certificate.
All the time of marriage, husband and wife have high
expectations for happi-
ness.
in this stage the family consists of husband and wife, without any children.
They
rent a flat, buy or build a home and learn how to manage their money and how
to combine
their jobs with managing a household. A husband earns his money to
support
his family and a wife does housework tasks. Perhaps a wile also shares in
earning
money. The sometimes quarrel but they try to become friendly again. A wife
should
have perfect trust in her husband and so should a husband. They devote
them
selves to each other. They should not be jealous. Then they have children. Af-
ter
two decades they have grandchildren. They continue to live happily. Their mar-
riage
has been a very happy one. Some couples have a chance to celebrate their
silver
or 25°‘ wedding anniversary or their golden or 50th wedding anniversary. Only a
few
a chance to celebrate their diamond or 60th or 75th wedding anniversary.
Not all couple are very happy ones. Perhaps a jealous
wife doesn't really care
for
her husband. If they often quarrel and are disappointed, they may decide to be
divorced.
The daughters are upset at the decision and weep. The children usually
stay
with the mother, and the father is usually able to visit his children or have
them
visit
him. But some fathers are given the full care of their children. Teenage
children
may
choose the parent they wish to live with, and some choose the father. ln those
eases
the mother becomes the one who visits. .
After a divorce one of both parents often marry again.
And often they get the
benefit
from the lessons of the first marriage and make a happy second marriage.
This
second marriage gives the children a new parent. who is called a stepparent.

Galileo
Galilee was born in 1564 in the city of Pisa, Italy. About twenty years
latter
he attended the Univesity of Pisa. At first, he wanted to become a doctor, but
while
he was there he became interested in science and decided to become a scien-
tist.
ln 1592, a year after his father's death, the University of Padua invited him
to be
a professor
of mathematics. He stayed there for 19 years, where he became

and
easier to examine. This was called; the telescope. it could make things lock
thirty
two
times as big as they looked the eye. Galileo could see many stars through his
telescope
and he began to study the stars and other things in the sky.
He studied
the moon first and discovered that it was a sphere just like our own
earth,
with mountains and valleys. When he studied the stars, he discovered that the
"star”
which moved, were not really stars, but worlds like the earth. He proved that
Copernicus
was right: the earth and the planets indeed moved around the sun.
Galileo
also discovered that one big planet. Jupiter, had four moons, but the made a
mistake
by naming them planets.
Galileo
discovered many other things too. lt is because of Galileo that we now
Have
clocks and watches. He also wrote many important books which opened the
way
to the discovery of new things. Unfortunately, in 1673 he lost his eye sight.
How-
ever,
he continued to work until he passed away on Januari 8, 1642.
