By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.

IN recent years there has devel-
oped in the elementary grades a
different kind of report card from
the kind sent home some years ago.
In this report there is little or no
emphasis on what the child has
achieved from books. Instead there
are brief or elaborate notes about
his habits Of work and ways of get
ting along with other children. The
emphasis is on his behavior, char
acter and school citizenship; and
this emphasis is in the right direc-
ton.
We parents and teachers believe
that moral character and good be-
havior and citizenship should come
foremost in the child's education.
Yet there is considerable doubt in
my mind and in the mind of many
other parents whether this new en-
phasis is bringing the desired re-
suits.
Letter From Teacher
A mother, for instance writes:
"On the other side of this paper l
have a letter from Billy's teacher.
He is ten years old. Can you send
me some constructive advice 2" In
this letter the teacher wrote: "Billy
is capable, if he will just apply HIM
self. He still needs to learn to get
along with his class and to self
control his behavior. Very restless,

N SHREE favorite furs
4 broadtail, gray Persian and

with a new fashion story aside
from its native good looks and
good value.
All the talk about what
length fur coats should be with
changing dress styles can be
quieted by observing that
either thirty-three or thirty
seven inches top a street or eve
ming dress as if they belonged;
while the full length Persian
coat shows you a fresh notion
in that contingency. The same
long line is excellent in black
Persian, too, and in seal or
brcadtail.
One wants ones furs to be a
la mode, but such long term in
vestrnents should be chosen to
look fashionable for long time
before remodelling becomes
necessary. These coats measure
up to this ideal on all counts.

New Type Of Report Card From the Teacher

disturbs others, doesn't have any
work habits" Many other mothers
are sending me similar letters sent
home by teacher.
Now what did this teacher hope
to accomplish by this letter? Did
she assume chat the mother should
scold and punish this child at home
because he does not "apply himself"
at school, has poor self-control
there, and is restless, disturbs 9TH
ers and has poor work habits at
school? Did this teacher suppose
the mother would lecture this child
on how to improve in all these mat
tiers and that such lectures would
bring the desired improvement?
The tragedy of it is that most moth
ers receiving such letter from the
teacher will believe they are sup
posed to scold and punish the child
because Of what the teacher has re-
ported.
Training in Psychology
Yet the teacher, who has had
some training in psychology, should
know that such things as she COM
plains in this letter to the mother
about the boy are so general as not
to be improved all at once, or
through any command or censure.
Should not the teacher have done
just the opposite to what she has
done and-warn the mother against

A FAVORITE section in memo
rvs notebook belongs to the great
thoroughfares, streets, avenues and
boulevards identified with various
cities. What a fascinating parade
they make!
There is lovely Princess Street in
Edinburgh, with its shops, its gar
dens and its great palace rising high
on a hill. The glittering, flashing
Corso in Rome, alive with people
who enjoy life no matter what its
circumstances! New York's great
Fifth Avenue, with its glittering
shops, its magnificent houses and
the green of Central Park has a
character all its own.
The Branca in Rio with it's glitter
ing pavements of mosaic, it's cafes
and magnificent buildings is lead
ing contender every time when it
comes to picking the worlds most
fabulous thoroughfares. Paris has
the Champs Elysees, the well-named
elysian fields, broad, beautiful, and
surely one of the most delightful
and beautiful thoroughfares that
man ever devised.
In Berlin
Berlin has, or rather, had, Inter
den Linden, which is now under the
ground as a result of intensive
bombing. But in its day it was quite
a place, but coldly glittering, with
out the warmth that characterizes
most other great streets. And so
the procession goes.
AS for our own favorite, we'll, it
too, has taken a bad shellacking,
more's the pity. For it is one of the
most interesting and beautiful thor
oughfares anywhere. 1t is the Ring
in Vienna, thoroughfare with a
wonderful past. In the days of Ma
ria Theresa and until long after Ma
poleon occupied Vienna, st. Ste
phen's Place, the historic Stefan's
Plaza, was the town center, town
enclosed by walls and by a moat
dating back to the 18th century. At
intervals there were bridges and
stone gateways that afforded a
glimpse of field and forest, but
mostly the people promenaded on
top of the walls themselves, which
offered walks that were more than
200 feet wide and took the place of
parks and gardens.

to carry on code conversation with

mother the child's lacks and liabili-
ties she should have suggested TO
this mother a longtime program
for correcting the matters gradu-
ally. Indeed, l doubt whether any
teacher should write such a report
to a parent without following this
report with one or several personal
conferences with the parent over
the next several months. By check
ing on the child's self care and ways
of helping about the home the moth
er might be able so to train him in
work habits related thereto. As a
result, these work habits gained at
home might carry over after sew
eral weeks or months to better work
habits at school. The same applies
to his social adaptation.
In the meanwhile the teacher
should take responsibility for help
ing this child improve at school in
all the ways she complains about
him to the mother. (My bulletin,

FICTION
Condition
Operation
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN. MD.

SOME disorders can be treated
only by operation. One Of these il
known as anal assure, condition in
which a crack occurs in the lining
membrane of the bowel at . point
near its opening. In every case this
cracking of the membrane is accom-
panied by swelling, Inflammation
and infection. Sometimes ulcers
form in addition, and in such in
stances hemorrhoids or dilated veins
also are present.
In the operation for correction Of
this condition all Of the diseased It's
sues are cut away.
Admitted to Hospital
Candidates for such surgery are
usually admitted to the hospital
about IL hours before the time for
the operation, in order that they
may be prepared properly. The first
step in this preparation is to give
the patient an enema of salt solution
six to eight hours prior to the time
set for the operation. Nerve-quiet-
ing drugs are also given at this
time; approximately an hour before
the operation other preparations
are given for the same purpose.
The operation is often performed
under spinal anaesthesia since this
gives the greatest relaxation to the
muscles around the site of the opera
ton, but it can be performed if the
patient is put to sleep in the ordi-
nary way with q general anaesthic.
At the time of the operation, a
gauze pack is placed in the wound.
After the operation, it is usually
necessary to give the patient some
strong pain-relieving drug.
The gauze pack in the wound is
removed AZ hours after the compile
ton of the operation and, there
after, the wound is inspected daily.
Liquid Diet
The patient is given q liquid or
soft diet. Efforts are made to see
that he takes plenty Of fluids the
first "a hours following the opera
ton. Each night the patient is given
liquid petroleum. until the wounds
are completely healed.
The patient, as rule, can be dis
charged from the hospital between
two and four days after the opera
ton, and complete healing usually
takes place within four weeks. It is
necessary to make rectal examina-
ton five to seven days after the
operation and to repeat this exami-
nation about once every five days to
make sure that scar tissue does not
form to block the lower opening Of
the bowel.
