For Our Children

Why is manuscript writing being
used in the first and second school
years?
Manuscript writing differs from
cursive writing in that each letter is
formed separately and has close
resemblance to the printed form of
the letter.
The resemblance of the manuscript
form to the printed form of the let
ter is so close that the child has no
difficulty in recognizing the printed
word from the written manuscript
form in which the word was first in
PRODUCED to him on the blackboard or
chart. You will see at once what
help this is in learning to read since
the child has to recognize only one
form for each word.
! In learning to write it makes the
task simpler since the child has to
attack just one letter at time in
stead Of whole series of letters
joined together in a most confusing
manner to him.
The current issue of childhood
Education, reports study on the
effect of manuscript writing on learn
ing to spell. At the end of the first
year in school, five classes using
cursive writing were given series of
tests covering the 60 words that chill
dren usually learn TO write during the
first eschool year. The children using
manuscript writing made a median
of a correct while those using ours
i've writing had median of 16 words
correct. There was no apparent diff
ferences in the general intelligence
level of the groups. No formal spell
ling lessons are used in the first
school year. The spelling is learned
by seeing and writing them repeated
ly as they are used in their work.
Manuscript writing makes it easier
for child to see the letters that
make up the word and so helps to
make him spelling conscious.
Manuscript writing, then, seems to
simplify the tasks of learning to read,
to write, and to spell for the begin
ming students.
During the first and second school
years the teachers are using manu-
script writing with the children at all
times. The third school year will in
troduce the children to cursive writ
ing. First to learn to read it readily,
then to write it.
Many schools have eliminated ours
i've writing entirely but we feel there
is still real need for ability to read
cursive writing easily.

THE HUMBLE PENNY

Quite a few people are in
clined to look down on the
humble penny and ignore it
on the ground that at won't
buy anything" Now they
have occasion to change their
mind. A big eastern concern
that does a nationwide bust
ness in chewing gum and
candy through penny vending
machines has just issued its
yearly report to its stock
holders, and it shows that
more than three and one-half
billion pennies passed through
those machines in 1887.
Here is proof that the
penny is among the coun-
try's greatest circulating me-
diums, and that the individ-

ditions, but it assures health
and prevents epidemics that
might easily claim a heavy
toll of death. Starting early
means more time for other
duties, too, and serves to
tighten the jobs that come
along later in the season.
1t is well to remember that
no better beautifier and no
more effective sanitary agent
can be procured than white
wash. Use it, as well as the
raw, unslacked lime plenti-
fully about your premises.
But get on the job now, for
once you start your neigh
bors will follow your exam
pie. Roll up your sleeves,
whistle if you can't sing and
help make the home town
shine like the MONDAY sun.

ual or the company making
a special drive for it can get
rich. When we reflect how
many newspapers the pennies
buy every day, how many
millions of letters and post
cards it carries around over
the nation every hour, then
its value takes on new signifi-
canoe. But it takes a special
report of a big concern deal
ing wholly in penny merchan-
disc TO make us see the ire
mendous buying power of it.
BY itself, in these days of
high prices, the penny really
does seem insignificant. But
there are $47,000,0OO worth
of them in circulation at this
very minute, and that's
worth striving for.

"Music For Every Child"

Today educators, supervisors and
teachers of music are working to
make the above slogan an effective
and lasting one in music education.
In order to make it so our aim must
be clearly education in music and
education through music. That is,
we seek in the schools to educate in
music for the fullest and freest pos
sible development Of the human per-
sonality. We desire to make our
subject the means of creating lives
that are happy, useful and culturally
rich. Above all, we wish for type
of music education in the schools
which will produce men and women
who continue to grow both unsteady
and culturally after their education
in school is over.
Therefore, music for every child
should not be planned in terms of
technique and drill, but in terms of
self-expression, emotional release,
and the creative impulse. Out of
these grow our three musical projects
through which development takes
place, and which are carried on each
day in every grade. They are: lis
tening to music, performing and
creating. 1t is hoped and believed
that every child will be reached
through at least one of these projects.
Some parents feel that their chill
dren are not musical therefore it is
a waste of time for them to have
music in their daily school life. BY
tests and research work all the
more ordinary notions have been dis
carded concerning musicality, and
educators insist that musical prog
ress depends on the individual "will
to be musical" James L. Mursel,
Prof. of Education, Lawrence Col
lege, Appleton, Wisconsin and lee
turer at Columbia University says:
''The music child is not necessarily
one who possesses a beautiful voice,
or fine motor capacity, or an intellec-
tual ability which gives him ready
mastery of the problem of musical
theory. The musical child is one
who possesses an inner urge towards
music. Musicality essentially depends
upon will. If the will to music is
lacking, musicality it self is lack
ing"
So the primary business Of the
school music teacher is to foster and
develop the twill to be musical,
with music for every child and every
child for music.

taking them out for an occa-

a return on his investment
when he uses it to take a

can see how others work and

a broader vision of the nation

understanding of those who

uses his car for these things
can actually be said to come
