Children Amaze British Teacher

creasing his thinking powers. which. an
turn is reflected In his school work.
That's the opinion of Roland Purdy,
3l-year old British exchange teacher
at Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School.
Mr.. Purdy came to Bethesda in Sep
tember from the Pudsey Grammar
School, Yorkshire. England, to teach
economic geography and modern
European history for year.
In exchange, the Bethesda school
sent one of its teachers to Pudsey. 1t
was one of similar exchanges arranged
each year between schools in this
country and Great Britain under
sponsorship of the sh-Speaking
Union and educational authorities in
both countries. The project is in
tended to promote Anglo American
understanding.
One of the first things Mr.. Purdy
noticed when he started to teach at
Bethesda was the informality of the
students and their readiness to en-
gage in classroom discussion.
He also found them more intelligent
than those in Pudsey.
This puzzled the slight, brown
haired instructor for while. After
all, he thought, the educational Sys-
TENS in both countries are about
on a par, and similar subjects are
taught.
On investigation, he discovered
what he believes is the answer. Family
life in the United States, he found, is
not nearly so rigid as that in his
own country, and children in most
instances are encouraged to join their
parents in discussing family problems.
AS result, according to Mr. Purdy.
the students are stimulated in their
thinking.
Another factor may contribute to
this, Mr. Purdy feels. Students at
Bethesda Chevy Chase High come
from families whose incomes gen.
orally are higher than those in Pudsey.
Despite their informality in the
classroom, Mr.. Purdy hasn't found
the students harder to handle Nor
has there been any kidding" of his
English accent, he remarked smilingly.
"At the beginning" he recalled
they seemed curious about life in
England One wanted to know how %
much power the King has. Another
inquired how one becomes a lord.
The newness has worn off by now,
however, and we're getting along
fine"
In fact, Mr. Purdy said he is getting
along so we'll that he would like to
remain, if he can arrange it. When
he left England however, he signed
an agreement to return after year
Il know I want to stay here for at
least another year." he explained. but
I haven't yet decided whether I want
to remain permanently"
Mr.. Purdy said he never expected
to come to Montgomery County this
year. or, for that matter. to the United
States.
When he applied last spring as an
exchange teacher, he was told there

ABBE'S new 1947 Inspirational
Readings are ready
M. M. CT have been married
IL years and adore my husband.
Up until about four years ago he
was all I could ask in a mate. We
went out together and had lots Of
fun. His niece died and left a baby
girl. We took the baby and l am
raising her as though she were
my own. The responsibility seems
to be all my own as my husband
never wants to stay at home with
her and let me get and he has be-
gun going out alone. Now do you
think l would be happy to let
some of his folks have the child
and would he change?
Ans: You would be very I'M
happy if you gave the child to his
people being as attached to it as
you are. The baby fills a niche in
your family life, but you must
guard against lavishing too much
affection on the child and taking
it away from your husband. Let
your husband share in the respon-
sibility of being a parent and the
child will be a bond between you.
You n going to have to be more
demonstrative in your affection
toward your husband and let him
know that he means more to you
than anyone else in the world.
c. L. il am twenty and am
going with a girl a few years my
junior. 1 am very much in love
with her and she seemed to care
for me up until a short time ago,
The Omaha guide., 1946-12-07

Everytime 1 ask her for a date,
she always is going out to a dance
Or some place with someone else.
If I tell her I am not going to ask
her to go out anymore, she tells
me that she wants to go with me.
What must I do?
Ans: Look Mac, you taking
the wrong attitude. Don't swell up
like a toadfrog and sit at home
sulking, just because the little girl
likes to date other boys. Do like
wise, my boy. Date some of the
other little chicks and make it a
point to let the little lady see you
enjoying yourself. 1t will vex her
a little to be sure, but it will sti-
mulate new interest.
M. A. d. read your column
just as regular as the clock ticks.
And 1 have benefited so much
from your wonderful answers. MY
problem is as follows: 1 am very
happily married have two cute
little girls and I love my family
very much. I want a little boy but
the doctor told me not to get that
way again and I want to know if
he is soaring me?
Ans: Doctors do not scare their
patients just to be funny. He had
a specific reason for giving you
those instructions else he would
not have told you to refrain from
getting pregnant again. He had
your best interest at heart and
you should take his advice. If you
want to have another child, go to
him for a physical examination
and let him tell you what he now
thinks about your plans to in
crease your family. He may find
your condition entirely different
than it was a couple of years ago.
B. M. The first of. this year I
met a young man who had just
been discharged from the service.
We kept company for about seven
months and I never was allowed
to go out very much with him so
he started going with another girl
and they married. Now he wants
to begin going with me. I don't
know what to tell him. He wants
to marry me.
Ans: Insist upon his getting
legally free from the woman he
married before you allow him to
come back and date you. If he
proceeds with his DIVORCE and
gets his freedom. then you will
have absolute proof that the girl
he married means nothing to him
and also that he is quite sincere
with you if he will get his freedom
