In the 5th Audubon Screen
Tour of the season, shown at the

Arlene Hadley, Wildlife Photog-

their friends on a most refresh
ing trip through Happy Valley.
With the help of a superb koda-
chrome moving picture and Tom
Hadley's story and comment in
verse, we started out in late
Summer with the Hadleys to find
tl1e source of the Beautiful Tah-
npDmenon River, golden river of
Northern Michigan's Hiawatha-
land. Then with the Hadley's

interesting comment helped to
enhance the illusion that we our
selves were hiking through Mich

This is the first of the Audubon

surrounding country accompan-
led the pictured text, and it was
a moving experience. No one

of beauty, inspiration and con-

sight and sounds of the gorgeous,
moving, changing leaves, the
birds, the bees, and even the deer
and beavers, busily at work, for

whistling sound and sight of Jack

Today I am going to discuss a
few of the problems learn OF
from my younger readers, the
teen-age group and their slightly
older sisters.
/. The need to be popular.
The very intensity Of this wish
often makes popularity impos-
sible.
It makes you self-conscious and
therefore unnatural. Naturalness
is the handspring of popularity.
Also, the great need Ito belong"

skated with the boy next door all
of your life, but all Of a sudden,

on fatigue. A fatigued mind
closes down and the learning
ceases. The pupil eases the strain,
which can be intolerable, by turn
ing away from the subject to
some easier kind of thinking.
That is when he tosses notes,
paper planes. fldgets and huns
and causes disorder. He is tired
out, but not deliberately mean.
We have been trying to push him
beyond his range Of ability and
comprehension. We are trying to
do too much in too short time.
Teachers and children should
have more time for work and less
to do in the time. The elementary
grades should be concerned with
the elements of learning-read-
ing, numbers and writing, with
emphasis Oh the reading. Every
pupil in the schools should be
able to read intelligently. BY in
telligently I mean that he should
be able to gather information, get
a clear idea. from the printed
words as fast as he reads them.
That is the foundation of his edu-
cation, the first essential. That
ought to come first and all other
things afterward-some that we
endeavor to teach, a long way
after.
What we need Is a thinning Of
courses to essentials and more
time to teach them.
