YOUR CHILD
Elimination
Of'Can't'
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

I remember one room at school in
which it was written in vari-colored
chalk over the space reserved for
arithmetic, "There Is No Such Word
AS CAN'T"
We were having denominate num-
berS and fractions and the COM
binations certainly needed the forti-
flying maxim that rose above it
all that and more. But even then
it failed, for I have a distinct recol-
lection of laying my head down on
my desk one fine day and giving
way to shameless tears. Whatever
the colored chalk had to say about
it, it was wrong. For l couldn't!
I had passed examinations in al
zebra and geometry years later be-
fore I discovered what denominate
numbers meant. No one had ever
taken the trouble to say to me:
IF say five it's a number, but
if saw five apples" that's a de-
nominate number"
Added; That's All
All that struck my poor added
brain was that I was having a lot
Of problems with a long, horrible
name and with that attitude I de-
veloped complex and mental con-
fusion that only increased as time
wore on.
I remember that teacher well. I
adored her. Her name was Miss
Little and she was pretty and she
had us out to her house at a pic
mic. There was young man there
whom she called John and l re-
member being very resentful Of
John" Whether she eventually
married him or not I do not know.
Very likely she did, however, or
some one else and has forgotten all
about There Is No Such Word AS
Can't" and denominate numbers
and fractions.
But I remember. And I wish she
had mentioned the apples.
Good Teaching Wasted
I often wonder how much good
teaching is going to waste, because
some simple. clear explanation of
work at the beginning of a term has
not been made.
One time 1 heard a teacher call
on boy to parse a certain noun.
He got up, started lamely several
times, and stopped in confusion.
The teacher seemed surprised.
Cant you parse that? It's very
easy" she said kindly.
mo, can't" He sat down. In
stantly fifty hands went up.
I knew very well that the child
hadn't an idea what parsing meant
There had been some mental con-
fusion at the beginning without
doubt. He may have been away
the first day, but at any rate there
never had been conveyed to his per-
picked mind the simple statement
''Parsing is telling the nouns story
Parents can often find these little
keys that unlock the great unknown
if busy teachers cannot put their
fingers on the trouble. So much
rests on a clear beginning.
Then, there won't be any such
word as cant"

Film Tickets

Through the t-Teachers As
ISOLATION, tickets for the motion pic
ture "Simba" will be distributed to
school children at half price, it was
decided at the regular monthly
meeting of the Indiana Indorsers of
Photoplays, at the Fletcher Amer
lean Bank Bldg, at $50 Tuesday
morning. "Simba," picture taken
during an African expedition by Mr..
and Mrs. Martin johnson, will be
shown at the Murat theater for one
week starting Sunday.
The difference between the movie
tone and the vitaphone was ex-
planned by George Sine to the in
dorserS. The Yitaphone is a record,
with talking and music to synchron-
ize, he said, while the movietone is
made directly upon the film and
operated by light and dark rays.
The movietone can be made under
any conditions, but the vitaphone
must be made in a closed room.
Out of 127 pictures seen during
the summer, 119 we're Endorsed and
six starred.
The next meeting will be held in
November at Hotel Lincoln.

drank nor smoked had nothing at
all to Go with it; that they we're
just little too self-conscious about
their goodness to make other hu-
mans feel very uncomfortable
around them.
AS a result, have received a
number of letters from boys who
agree and disagree, both with me
and with Thelma and Fritz, which
I think may prove interesting to
my readers. These letters are, I
believe, at least in a small way, an
expression of the younger genera
ton upon these subjects.
Dear Miss Lee~-I saw the letter YOU re-
ceived from Thelma and Fritz in the
Times and I certainly agree with you.
The fact that they smoke and drink or
do not smoke and drink has little or moth
ing to do with popularity. Most boys have
come to accept smoking by girls as mat
ter of course. nothing to brand them and
nothing to raise Mortified eyebrows at.
The same with drinking. 1 frankly al
mire most the girl who does neither. not
because she wants to pull that more
righteous than thou" stuff. but because she
has too much womanliness and respect
for herself to do them. But If she doesn't
I think any fellow admires her about five
times as much if she Just shuts up
about 1t.
rhelma and Fritz are the kind who go
around blowing about how good they are
If I get their letter right. That may have
a lot to do with their unpopularity. It's
fine that they don't but I think fellows
fNr fInaY1, col VI
than have it thrust in their faces all the
time. OFF THE CAMPUS
Dear Miss Lee-Being a constant read
er of your column. noticed the letter
from Thelma and Fritz. I'm young man
of 20. I neither smoke nor drink. Being
a musician, I have seen great many
girls of the type .Thelma and Fritz be-
leye to be popular think the normal
Young man would have nothing to do with
a girl of that sort. I personally would
not 20 with a girl who drank and smoked
If a boy is going with a girl, who be-
leYes those things to be right. he has
moral duty to tell her differently. Some
times it is the boys fault that girl
takes up these things.
I would say that girl who allows
boy to persuade her into drinking and
smoking is making fool of herself Real
popularity does not depend on those eX-
terror things. but girls own sweetness
and personality. BLUE EYES.
And F. r. wrote-A nice pleasant
girl, a good cook, a girl with some
religious instincts, who loves her
home and family more than she
does dancing and shows, is the girl
who wins lasting popularity. Those
other things are for the play boys
And they don't make good husbands,
if any.
What do you think on the sub
ject. Here is an interesting and
timely topic that everyone has an
opinion on. Send yours.
