Keep in Mind
Youngsters
Need Rest
When Mental Plain
Is Reached Lessen
The Pressure
By ANGELO PATRI.

Learning is like climbing hills.
One stops to rest at the first level
place on the trail. Children go at
q new task with a will and work
hard at it for a time. Then they
slow up and the inexperienced
teacher says, PAY attention" and
works them harder, or tries to,
and fails.
The children have reached
mental plain and must rest to get
their strength back. The wise
teacher stops climbing, goes back
to the start and reviews the road
hastily. She then presents it with
a new point of view, just a slight
freshening of language, a variation
of problem, an additional line of
information.
The children, finding they are
not being driven ahead, rest and
open their minds again. They find
the work easy, having gone over
it once before. They discover new
interests in it, some having es-
capped them on the first presenta-
ton. Soon they pick up speed
and are ready to start ahead once
more.
This is the rhythmic growth all
effort undergoes. The work we
do does not matter. The law works
the same whether we lead a host
or work within it, whether we are
scientists in a laboratory or miners
In pit. We surge forward, we
rest. The length Of time we have
to rest before going forward again
varies with the conditions and the
individual Teachers have to con-
slider whole classes here, but the
individual, too, must be noted.
The teacher will see one begin
falling back before the others are
tagged. She goes to that ones
aid and carries him along as best
she can until the group stops too
This is a better way than that. of
marking the laggard as deficient.
Keep him effectively working at
what he can do until he gets his
breath again. Add only a little
at a time to his task until he re-
gains his power.
The school term in its larger
rhythm follows the same plan. We
usually find that this month Is a
hard one. It Is hard because the pu-
pills have about used up their initial
energy and are slowing down for
a rest. Now it is time for the
teacher to gather up the loose ends,
speedily review the past work, give
the class a list of easy questions to
hunt up answers for instead of
assigning new work: have quiz
matches; use dramatic presenta-
tons; have s-conducted tests
that are not marked as lessons;
general review and refresh the sub
ject., This relieves the pressure
and changes the point of view. Tie
class will be rested and ready for
new work before the third week
and the hard month will be well
over.

Very well. For the purpose of
finding you an Office job, we're going
to emphasize and capitalize on this

to Food Products" heading, you

You also look under Commission

several full pages of names, but
you choose only few of the larger
ones which you know would need
some office help. Still other CLASH
fications in the directory are con-
cerned with food and food products,
but these are enough to serve as
illustrations.
Now you choose a few names, say,
from the list of wholesale grocers.
You go to those Offices and ask to
see the manager. You tell him, or
any one else who talks to you, that
your name is Betty Jones, that
you are looking for an Office job,
and that you have come to him be-
cause you are particularly inter-

won't be intrigued by the fact that
you are especially interested in his

Thirty fifth

Any Gift Suggesting
Even That Color
Is Suitable
Pickle fans
Parsley
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post-What sort of
present can be bought for a 35th
wedding anniversary party? The
wedding couple are good friends Of
ours and we want to take, or send,
them present. BY the way, which
way is better when we don't know
whether the other people are buying
presents?
Answer-The 35th year is the coral
wedding, therefore anything that
suggests coral color, such as small
Chinese red box or tray or ornament,
or talisman roses would be particu-
larly suitable. Or If you want to
give something that has no sug-
gestion of coral you can give it the
characteristic touch of tying the
package with coral-colored ribbon.
But whatever you buy for them, I
think it is always best to send 1t to
them earlier on that day.

"a cup milk

affair Of something that Is nothing.
Can't you see how silly you are
acting? You are burned up be-
cause this middle-aged woman who
hasn't been home for years comes
back to her old town. In heavens
name, what significance is there in
that? Isn't 1t something that every
body in the world does? And II your
husband and she were friends or
even sweethearts years ago, are you
naive enough to think that they are
still In love. when each of them has
married and had a different life
and been happy and satisfied?
Don't you know that If she had
had designs on him she would have
found some means to get in contact
with him years ago? Don't you
know that If he was still in love
with her that he would have gone
to see her? You couldn't have kept
them apart. But neither one has
existed for the other except just
as a pleasant and sentimental men,
ory, as every man and woman have
for their boy and girl sweethearts.
Haven't you intelligence enough
to know that the sure cure for any
youthful romance is to meet the be-
loved one after the lapse of years?
For time does things to all of us
that dispels the glamor that once
encircled us.
My advice to you is to take coun-
sci with your common sense in
stead Of your jealousy. Tell your
husband that you know that his
friend is in town. Call upon her
and invite her to dinner.
Believe me, she has no designs
upon him and you are torturing
yourself needlessly.
