Help For z
The Poor
SpeI|er
4, cARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, PI.D.

SOME children in the early
grades, who have no trouble at
learning to read or at doing number
work; and some other children Of
the upper grades or high school are
poor spoilers. Here are some sus.
gestions:
Have the child's vision tested. II
he is in the early grades he may not
know all the letters Of the alphabet.
He may confuse some Of them, asp
and a or d and b. If he does, show
no surprise, avoid making him feel
ashamed. Patiently help him clear
UP such matters, and don't expect to
accomplish this all at once.
Elemental Sounds
Practice him on some Of the ele-
mental sounds in words like rat, mat,
cat; bone, stone, cone: blow, crow.
slow; chain, chair, child. Point out
to him that some words are not
spelled quite IS they sound, whose
correct spelling just have to be
learned by heart.
When he attacks . word Of more
than one syllable, show him how to
break it up into syllables. Always
tho word he is learning to spell
should be printed or written lsgibly.
It will help him to have each word
to spell appear alone on . card or
page. Sometimes children above the
third grade bring home = list Of
spelling words which they have cop.
led from the board at school, and
may have written these words illez.
IDLY, even have spelled some Of
them wrong while copying them.
Print or write these words for the
child 50 as to make sure he won't
learn to spell them wrong.
Avoid Haste
Regardless Of the child's ass, try
to get him to attack each word
slowly and carefully. Nearly always
the poor speller is in great haste.
He may not even spell the word
correctly as he carelessly looks at
it. He may try himself out before
he has learned it. repeating its
spelling insccurately. Do all you
can to keep him from ever spelling
= word wrong.
Have him look ut the word and
pronounce it, then name its letter
in correct order; pronounce the
word again and name its letters in
proper sequence, still carefully loal =
ing at the word; and do like b
several more times before trying, 70
spell the word from memory. 1t n y
help him TO write the word while
looking back and forth 1t it before
trying to spell it. But it would be
hazardous for him ever to write it
wrong.
Few at . Time
Guide him to study each word
over and over till he can spell it
right, before going to another word.
Better for him to attack three or
four words an evening and really
learn them than to work at long
list Of them and get some wrong.
1t is always better to master few
than to mess over many.
When your older child Is doing
written home work and asks you
to spell 4 word for him, gladly spell
it, even if you must yell the spelling
from \ distant room. II necessary
look it up in the dictionary. Don't
tell him to do 50 else he may merely
guess at it. Anyway, your readiness
to help him can provide good IN.
couragement and eomradeship and
render him more eager to Be careful
about his spelling. (My "Homs

VETERANS USE CT. LOANS
TO PURCHASE FARMS

Nearly half of the veterans who OBJ
tain G.I. farm loans are engaging in
specialized farming operations, ac-
.cording to a survey of guaranteed
loan transactions made by the Vet
Grams Administration.
A study of farm loans closed
over four-month period shows 20
per cent of these veteran-farmers
engaged in producing grain, cotton,
fruits or vegetables; 10 per cent, in
dairy products; z per cent, in live
stock; and 2 per cent, in poultry.
The remaining So per cent were
operating general farms with wide
ly diversified products.
Nearly 10000 veterans of World
War II had received VA-guaranteed
loans by the end of 1947, and new
applications for such loans during
recent months have averaged about
1400 monthly.
Total value of farm loans approx
ed approaches $l54, 100000, on
which the VAS liability because Of
guaranty or insurance is nearly
$71.000,000.
The G. l. Bill authorizes the VA
to guarantee so per cent of the
amount of the loan, up to maxi
mum guarantee of $4,000 on realty
loans and $4,000 on montreal estate
loans.

We are told that when Christ was
being dragged through the streets
of Jerusalem the night before His
crucifixion, Peter followed Him "a
far of"
Every community has its share
of people who follow Christ "afar
off They approve the Church's
program, they wish the members
veil, they wouldn't think of living
in a town without a church" and
vet they themselves keep a con-
venient distance between themsel-
YES and the churches of their com
munity.
Christ minced no words when He
spoke to the irrehgious of His day:
He that is of God heareth God S
words: We therefore hear them not
because ye are not of God"
To follow Christ "afar off" may
be as fatal as going in the opposite
direction. Your eternal destiny de-
ponds upon a fellowship with Him,
most intimate, most close, and most
enduring. How far are YOU from
Him today? Our Christian ministry
is designed to help you draw ever
closer to Him here in time that
YOU may be sure of fellowship with
Him in eternity. You are vel
comed to any of our church ser
vices. - ST. JOHN LUTHERAN

MUSIC SPONSORS BUSY

Now and then one hears rustic
or ripple of activity and upon in
vestigation finds the group known
as the Music Sponsors Club busy on
one or the other of two major
Projects. -
At present all resources, both i'm
ancial and labor, are being used to
the limit to finish the robes for the
Girls Chorus and Mixed Chorus.
This involves over three hundred
and fifty dollars and no one has
counted the stitches Under the
supervision and guidance of Mrs.
Louvia Craven, the work is pro-
crossing nicely.
However, the robe project has not
superseded the original idea of the
Club, which is to help finance the
High School Music Department IN
any trip open to them. There are
the Music Festival in Whitefish and
the Music Festival in Missoula. The
latter involves ensemble groups Of
four or six instruments.
Money has been raised in the past
with a food sale, tag day and a
dance. There will be a food sale
again Saturday, February %, and
other money-making plans in the
/ future
The Club appreciates all the helE
given them as they feel it is for {
worthwhile work.
