CHICAGO - These kids read comic books in school.
 In an experiment conducted at Holy Name Cathedral grammar school, youngsters read colored comic books with teachers per mission. Their teacher says it is proving an aid to their education. It was found that children who read comic books improve their reading ability.
 Of course, the school-sanctioned comics feature gentle fairy stories. Blood and thunder stories are taboo. Uncle Charlie's Fables" is used as text.
 In every story the kids are the hero and heroine. They win out over evil because they practice the ordinary virtues of honesty, industry and courage. The stories have enough excitement to in- trigue the children but with happy endings.
 The third and fourth graders are called on to real aloud. The class is under the direction of Sister Mary Victorice, who in- cludes the comic book in regular classWork.
 The dialogue in the books is written in good grammar. The art
