to try to work and care for two

Session
By Angelo Potri

A summer school session Is
an excellent idea If 1t is offered
to- city children amid pleasant
surroundings. It is helpful to
those who need to. study courses
in, which they have been weak,
or for those youngsters who
would otherwise be at a loose
end.
Schooling during vacation
may be just what's needed for
young people who are likely to
fall into bad habits. BY all
means have schools in advan-
tageous areas open in summer.
However. there is one type OF
child would be slow to send to
a summer session. He is the pu-
pill who is slow to learn, who
has probably done his best all
term long. but has failed to get
an adequate grasp Of the les
sons.
Such a youngster needs a
change of scene. one which
affords a daily experience quite
different to that which he has
been accustomed. If it is at all
possible, 7 would suggest send
ing him to a summer camp for
the whole vacation, or to a
farm where he could enjoy the
company of other children.
Through my experience with
these slow-learning youngsters,
I have discovered that their ur-
gent need is a background Of
new experience. The fast stu
dent sees, hears and registers
all that he encounters, but the
slow one is not observant and is
unable to profit much by what
he hears. II the boy, or girl, who
finds their lessons are difficult
to learn has a change in environ
ment and also in the people he
encounters, I think he would re-
turn to school in a better condi-
ton for learning than if he had
attended a summer session.
All but a few pupils need teach
ing, testing, re-teaching and re-
peating most tasks several times
until they have really grasped
them. The slower learner has
received the teaching. but he is
not ready for the lessons. Allow
him q new atmosphere and his
brain power will be speeded-up.
A spell in different surroundings
usually results in a marked
change. one that no amount of
drilling would accomplish.
If a child has a weak spot in
his body it is well to spare it as
much as possible, seeking what
can be done to strengthen him.

Spinach nCreon

If the youngsters and the men
Of the household balk at eating
spinach. give it to them in the
style of the finer French res
taurants and they'll probably ask
for seconds.
Wash half peck of spinach
thoroughly and cook it quickly in
the water which adheres to the
leaves. Season with salt and cook
for IS minutes, being careful that
it does not burn. Put it through
a ricer or chop very, very fine.
Add enough hot cream to make
the spinach the consistency of
mashed, whipped potatoes. Sea-
son this with salt, pepper and a
dash of nutmeg, mixing all well.
Serve nice and hot, even If you
have to reheat a little by putting
the dish in which the spinach is
to be served in a pan of hot
water.

about these things.
The pearl jewelry we all love
80 much is among that which
must be at its cleanest to be
prettieSt, but it also should be
most carefully handled in clean
ing. Artificial pearls should not
be dipped into soap and water
because they are likely to become
discolored as a result Of water
seeping into the perforation. and
the dampness is likely to affect
the outer finish as we'll.
The best way to keep your
artificial pearls fresh is to wipe
them frequently with soft cloth
to remove surface dust or powder
as it collects on them. Peri

and wipe the pearls carefully.

them clean with q soft cloth,
then quickly rinse in fresh luke
warm water and dry them as
thoroughly as possible. It is q
good idea to stretch them taut
on a soft towel between two pins

Actually, oriental or cultured
pearls should be taken to your
jeweler for professional cleaning

In the case of fashion jewelry
considerable care should be
