So, when the opportunity arose, he
took over the King Cole Room chore.
He likes 1t fine.

Sandra is just three and can
speak in complete and under
standable sentences without a
trace of baby talk. Everyone is
tremendously impressed and her
parents are beginning to think
they have a brain child.
Billy, another child of three,
can talk only in phrases and his
mother constantly has to inter-
pref his speech to others in order
for them to understand him. Bill
ly's parents worry a Lot for fear
he is not very bright.
Children usually speak their
first intelligibly words by the
time they are two, though there
is a wide difference in beginning
to talk as well as in the speed
with which talking develops
among normal children.
THE CHILD who talks late
does not necessarily have low in
telligence. Often he will take a
squirt, once he gets started, when
he will make up for his slow be-
ginning.
1t can greatly harm slow talk

any way to say words before he
is ready. Practices such as drill.
ing or refusing to give him some
thing until he says the name of
the object should be avoided.
They may only confuse him and
thus retard his progress.
Parents can help the child to
talk by watching their own
speech habits. Their choice OF
words and the way they pro-
nounce them set the example.
Children learn to talk by imita-
ton.

ChiId's speech habits
depend on parents

to hear the words spoken care
fully and slowly, so it helps the
child to have his parents speak
to him slowly, simply and dis.
tinctly.
Baby talk may be amusing, but
it is not wise to laugh at the
young, child's infantile mispro-
nunciation, nor to use his cutest
ones as household expressions.
One family always spoke of
bisketti (their child's pronunci-
alton of spaghetti for years I'm.
til he caught on himself when
he was in second grade and cor
rected his parents.
WHILE THERE is no denying
that the accurate use of speech
Is important, 1t is only a tool -
a means of communicating ideas
- and not an end in itself.
Most of us know grown-ups
who are great takers but little
doors. Such people are, not very
different from young Sandra who
was SO accustomed to gain atten-
ton and recognition from her
verbal facility, that she preferred
to chat with the mothers on the
block rather than play with the
other kids.
The false premium which was
placed on Sandra's fluent use of
language was a drawback to her;
she substituted it for social &C
ton.
A GROUP play situation, such
as one finds in a nursery school,
benefits both the slow talker and
the over-verbal child. One has to
struggle harder to express him.

the other has to deliver the goods

The advent of Negro players
into the two major baseball
leagues is indisputable evidence
that discrimination in America is
ON the wane. For years on end
Negro athletes have been denied
the opportunity to participate IN
this the greatest of all American
sport, while the doors OF all other
forms of sports were freely open
ed to them. While there is no
question that several contributing
factors are responsible for this
letting down of the bars to quail
flied Negro players, the big impor-
tant thing is that it lends hope
to the fullfilment of our prayers
and dreams that racial parity will
some day prevail and that the
time will eventually come when
our place as citizens and our
value to society will be fixed by
our qualifications and not by our
color.
