Have Children
Read Aloud
In Class
HELPS Train Vocal
Organs in Right
infections
BY A neelo Pafri

There are many complaints about
the inability of older school pupils
to read with benefit to themselves.
In my experience these complaints
are amply justified. There are many
boys and girls Of secondary school
age who read poorly, much too
poorly If they are to accomplish
| their tasks.
Many of these children have
foreign born parents who talk their
own language at home. They live in
the colony" and all their neighbors,
and their companions, talk that
language. The children, torn be-
tween two forces, school and home,
compromise and talk composite of
English and the home language.
This makes for a peculiar accent,
an odd pronunciation, peculiar con-
struction of sentences. The chill
dren think in those terms. When
they are in school they hear a
language strange to their ears, to
their minds and to their tongues.
They mess up the English language
badly. They read poorly, they spell
miserably, their attempts at COM
position are sad. The teachers
struggle with them in a vain en-
deavor to force them to reach the
standard of English set by the
course of study, standard difficult
enough for the EngliSh-speaking
child.
When it comes to reading, the
teachers work is cut out for him.
If he tries to correct pronuncia-
ton he has every word to correct,
for the faults are fundamental.
Should he endeavor to correct and
teach one pupil, the rest of the
class will be idle. Yet something
must be done to teach the English
language, spoken and written, to
these children.
One of the best ways imaginable
is to have them read aloud. In
crease their reading time and insist
upon hearing them read. Silent
reading for such children is going
to get them nowhere. They need to
u all UllSu NOSdl vi Sdllo W lllC
demands Of our tongue, the need to
learn the infection, the emphasis,
the very tones of the language.
That is not done in silent reading.
The most practiced readers often
slide over words that are unfamiliar
and snatch the meaning from the
context. These beginners in read
ing guess at the pronunciation of
word and let the meaning 60 II they
read silently. The result of this is
that many of them talk in the same
way that they read. Their words
are an imitation of the right one.
We had a foreign-born boy in his
early teens who seemed to be in
telligent but who could not master
the English language sufficiently to
read a problem, or write correct
| sentence. When we studied his
difficulty we discovered that he did
not pronounce English words cor
rectly. Some of his words were fam
tastic in comparison with the ones
he thought he was using. His speech
and the teachers speech were as
far apart as any two different
tongues could be, but he thought he
was talking English.
All backward children, all chill
dren of foreign parentage who are
struggling with our language, all
beginners Of reading-and this in
cludes the primary grades-shoulc
read orally, should read often, do
much talking, exercise their speech
powers until they acquire command
of correct forms. Silent reading does
not meet the needs OF such chill
dren.

HERE'S SOMETHING, I
think. the rest OF the country
should know. It's something
that all frightened Americans
should know - and who OF US
isn't. It's about a city that sits
and smiles.
I'm meaning my own city, San
Francisco. Have you ever seen
her! She's more than a city.
She's romance and beauty and
allure a. she's a gypsy and a
witch and a proud senorita IN
he trailing lace of her fogs -.
n the spreading glory OF her
nils.
There on the hills she Is wait
ing today with a smile on her
lips but a dreadful wisdom In
her eyes. For she knows full
well that above all other cities
she means America to the little
yellow men.
A Happy City
Hill after hill-crowned with
stars, circled by the singing tide,
the very air perfumed with love-
liness-roses and acacia, violetS
and magnolias spilling their
fragrance to meet the salt SAVIOR
Of the sea. And up and down
her alleys and glittering high
ways a happy people went.
Now they still go-as proud IN
their bearing, as firm in their
tread, as ever before.
But where once they faced
life and drank ii deep to it's
purple dregs they now face the
menace that is arising over the
loom o. the lights.
Each wave brings n nearer,
each night draws it closer. When
and il II will come no one can
know. but this all America
should know.
Wait and Laugh
Still she sits on her lovely
hills, fragrant and jeweled,
beautiful above all cities. But
now her bay bristles with guns.
Along her far-fiung beaches
more guns are camoufiaged,
Still she is the great Senorita,
but there is a knife in her garter
and when the time comes she
will know how 10 use II.
This is San Francisco. This is
America.

Britain, can understand this

Normal Weight
But regardless Of age. the
best women soldiers will be the
ones who hold their normal

Whatever you are entitled to
weight at 80 is your best weight

You can see that weight has
nothing to do with age. Your
bones do not weigh more AZ
you grow older. Neither do your
organs.
Any increase in weight Is
simply In fatty tissue and 10

Your normal weight really
depends on your structure.
With q stocky frame you car
weigh more than with q slight
frame. Therefore, a woman OF
S feet S inches can weigh up
to lbs pounds and be normal

With q very large frame she
could weigh as much as las
pounds for normal. The varia.
ton in structure changes the
weight figure.
Depends on Frame
Start your figuring on tn
basis of a height of S feet an
give yourself 100 pounds, 10
pounds, 10 pounds and II
pounds for q slight, medium
stocky or q very large frame.
Then. il you have an excep

A committee of Federal judges
proposed today that no sentence in
excess of one year be imposed on
persons convicted in Federal Dis
trict Courts until after a Federal
Board of Corrections had studied
the individual criminal and sub
mitted recommendation for the
length of confinement.
The committee, headed by Cir
cult Judge John J. Parker Of Char
lotte, N. c.. was appointed last fall
by the judicial conference of senior
circuit judges, held at the Supreme
Court. The committee report will
be acted on at the next meeting In

Under the proposal, which would
require legislation. a recommenda-
ton by the board would be given
within six months after the criminal
started his term and the judge then
would impose the exact sentence.
The judge could follow the boards
recommendation or act entirely on
