A 7 Ene for
Learning
By Angelo Potri

Fathers and mothers as well as
all teachers have to consider the
readiness Of children for learning.
There is a time for everything. a
time for learning when learning
is an itnmediacy. mean by that
to call attention to the way chill
dren learn and grow and learn
through a lifetime. Learning is
not an even line or growth.
First the child's body, his brain
cells, must have developed to
where they can function, that is,
make use Of the experiences Of
fered. This stage Of growth is
not the same, does not come at
the same time, to all children.
True. we say children of six years
OF age should read-but will not
be ready because their brain cells
are not ready. We must wait Tor
time and experience and growth
to ready them. Then, when they
are open for nourishment, we can
supply it. Not before.
This applies to the little children
who go to school and are bored
by 1t. do not learn, do not pay at
tentlon, get up, stretch and walk
about the room and in other vays
show their unreadines for teach
ing. Maybe that child needs i
course in kindergarten, or nursery
school, to afford him the expert
ences that will ripen his mind to
where it can take the classroom
instruction.
But he is six going on seven?
Never mind. What we must con-
slider is his present state of readi-
ness. His classroom behavior In
enough to tell us that he is not
ready for that sort Of teaching
and we must set to work without
delay to ready him. There are
ways Of doing that and the

know how. Don't feel that the
child is being abused because he
Is placed in such classes He is
being taught as his condition al
lows, demands, and he will be
placed properly as time and his
learning dictate.
Unreadiness without symptoms
OF deficiency is no indication of
feeblemindedness. A healthy, in
telligent child may be unready for
classroom instruction and be in
telligent. The feebleminded child
will display picture quite in con-
trast to that Of the intelligent but
unready child. All teachers under
stand this and will make it clear
to interested parents of the un-
ready child. Be patient; give such
children a chance to grow and
learn and grow again.

of which team wants to win the
more when his Hoyas meet 'Bos-

sad week.
Little things can make a great
difference and I realize it more
and more every time I look at the
movies of last weeks Maryland

beat us and don't want to take
anything away from it, but I can
see lots Of places where we made
mistakes that hurt. And they
were little things, like one player
slanting when he was supposed
to hook, or an end being just
step or two out of position
Margarita says he has good
reason to- fear BIC despite it's
losing record. Denny Myers (the
BE coach) is one of the finest Of
fensive coaches in the country"
Bob observes, "and I guess he's
figuring on rolling up more points
than we do. Our defenses haven't
been too good as our record
shows"

yesterday. They scrimmageJ

also put on their own in a head
banging test.
