hard to describe minus sketches

School
ondHonne
By Angelo Potri

| Teachers in the public schools
must take the children in their
charge as they are and work with
them from there on. The children
come from all sorts Of homes,
with all sorts of heritages, back
grounds and habits. Some Of them
are hard to deal with, being dirty,
disorderly, impudent. inattentive,
unco-operative, or plain ornery.
Any one Of such characteristics
becomes a problem for the teach
err. Just what is he to do to get
this child to follow him gladly?
(Gladly because in no other way
will the teacher be able to in
fuence him.
The teacher cannot keep a child
clean and send him to school that
way. That must be done at home.
But home has failed this child.
What now? Home has failed a
child who displays any one OF
these traits that make him un-
teachable. What can a teacher
do that will counteract home back
ground and habit?
He cannot use force of any kind.
To begin with it is useless and
worse. To end with it is usually
against the law. He cannot de-
prive a child of recess time; can
not stand him in a corner; cannot
shut him in closet; cannot strike
him. No real teacher would do
any of these things even If per-
mitted to do so. It is the mind of
the child that the teacher aims
to reach and corporal punishment
will close his mind, rouse his re-
bellion and give him a just cause
against routine and order.
Into the bargain I come along
and say, Don't write complain
ing notes to parents. They don't
help any. If the parent could have
sent cooperative child to school
he would have done so. Notes like
that do more harm than good
most of the time. Don't send. Co."
That is the only way 7 have
ever known a teacher to adjust
an ill-adjusted child, to correct
home situation, amend a back
ground or make friend of a re-
bellious pupil. 1t is only wnen the
teacher has made friends with
the pupil and with his parents,
that ne will be able to help the
needy one. His need is great for
he is usually without home sup
port and lacks any feeling of Sc
curity, usefulness or approval.
Teaching means free commun-
ion of two minds, teacher and
pupil. The basis of such commun-
ion is friendliness. The teacher
who knows her pupils, is acquaint-
ed with their homes, heritages and
backgrounds, who accepts and
likes them all, in spite of the
failings and faults. will have no
disciplinary problems. She is
welcome visitor in the homes, a
friend who brings help and en-
couragement and inspiration.

vicious circle! If only I could

"RestfuI Exercise"
May I make suggestion? So
many women and housekeeper
friends say, oh, know exercis-
ing is good for one but I am
always so tired with all of my
housework I just haven't the
energy I know that many of
your exercises are actually more
relaxing and restful than just ly-
ing slumped on a couch, but they
won't take my word for it. For
instance, lying on my back on
the living room rug, with my feet
on a stool, and rotating my feet
slowly, feeling the muscles pull
up the back of my leg, is wonder
fully restful."
Isn't it, though? You can also
place your arms on the floor over
head and stretch, making your
self as long as possible. You can
swing your hips from side to side.
You can pull your abdominal
muscles in close to your back
bone and hold them there while
you count to 10 slowly.
There isn't much I can add to
this column. It comes out of the
mouth Of experience, from a
woman who was overweight for
many years and then learned the
living values Of correct weight
and exercise.

trend catches on it will not only
pick UP a lot of dust but will re-
quire a re-eduation in walking
for a great many women accus-
toned to the ease of the short
evening dress.
Balmains evening clothes, as
are nearly all evening clothes in
France. are quite magnificent.
Exquisite jewel trims, crystal en-
broidery on chiffon that has one
wondering how the fragile fabric
can take it, lavish use of fine and
expensive laces and fabrics-all
combine to make them the
dreams they are.
Or take the elegance of mink
coat or an ermine cape lined in a
brilliant shade of taffeta and
further enhanced by the tiniest
of flower petals sewn into the
lining.
Then there was the fascinating
detail of the suit jacket that had
cuff links pulled through the
sleeves at the wrist where there
wasn't a cuff at all.
It's all of these suggestions that
Pierre Balmain is making this
season here in Paris.

Dough Rising

Rising times are important in
making even-grained enriched
bread, fluffy yeast coffee cakes and
rolls. If the dough has not risen
enough before baking, the baked
bread may be somewhat small in
volume and coarse. This is be-
cause the yeast has not had time
to manufacture enough leavening
gas to make thousands of tiny gas
cells which make the dough rise.
II the dough has risen too much,
the yeast has manufactured too
much gas which in turn over
stretches the gluten strands. When
the dough is placed In a hot oven
they expand further and break,
and the bread falls.

The July 10th issue OF the
SPORTING NEWS, the foremost
in baseball newspapers, devoted
considerable space to Negro
players in the major leagues.
There is a feature about Luke
Easter, and other write-ups
about Sam Jethroe, Larry Dolby
and Jackie Robinson. The paper
also has articles concerning our
own Dave Barnhill and Artie
Wilson of the Pacific Coast
League.
The feature story, written by
Hal LebOvitz, is an excellent arti-
Gle about the life of Big Luke
Easter of the Cleveland Indians.
1t shows his great love for the
baseball game when a small boy
playing on the sand lots of st.
Louis. How an auto accident in
1871 involving him, Sam Jethroe
and two others could have ended
any big league aspirations he
might have had. The article is
also a story Of Luke's battle to
overcome the pressure he faced
when called up from the minors,
reporting In poor condition be-
cause of knee operation. In fact
the only thing he had in his favor
was a terrific build-up from his
exploits with the San Diego team
in the Pacific Coast League.
Lebovitz Portrays the determine
ton Easter has shown to win
first his teammates praise and
and then the Cleveland fans.
Sam Jethroe of the Boston
Braves also comes in for a hand
in praise with his amazing speed
on the bases. Bob Ajemian who
wrote the article says, The
Braves speed king labeled Lar
ceny Legs" by one Boston writer,
is driving opposing clubs crazy
with his bold base-running."
Jethroe according to the writer
could total in the neighborhood
Of IS stolen bases at the rate he's
going now (27 before the All Star
intermission). How he does It is
also explained in the write-up.
A compliment entitled, Hats
Off is given Larry Dolby by Ed
McAuley of the News for his
fine play in the All Star game.
Mention is also made of the fact
that Dolby has been battling for
the batting lead OF the A. L. but
the hometown fans have concen-
trated most of their enthusiasm on
Big Luke.
Articles about Jackie Robin
son are sprinlSled throughout the
paper. They dealt with his movie,
radio program, and awards given
him.
