But Ironing Needed
Coop Nursery School
Good School for Parents
BY Betty Miles

The better to raise your chill
dren-send yourself to cooper
alive nursery school.
This is the advice Of DR..
Katherine Whiteside Taylor,
pioneer in cooperative pre-
school education.
But she adds an important
qualification.
Since these mothers are
really assistant teachers, they
need training in order to enjoy
themselves. to be effective and
to make the most of their ex-
perience.
On such training opportunity
is the course for parents she and
two other specialists are con-
Quoting at the University of Vir-
ginia Center in Arlington.
This discussion group, which
began this week and will meet
Tuesday and Thursday evenings
in Westinghouse High School
through July 90. was set up last
summer at the request of par
entS. It is co-sponsored by the
cooperative Teachers Associa-
Rtion and the Federation of CO.
operative Schools of Northern
Virginia.

the economy of that area.
Main-StOre Volume Is Holding Up
Better
For some months now, main-stOre
volume has been we'll ahead of
sales in basement departments.
This suggests that while consumers
are shopping for bargains, they are
looking for them in quality mer-
chandise. Buying interest appears
about equally divided between soft
goods and durables, but there are
sOEe exceptions. Demand for piece
goods and household textiles, for
example, has been rather low since
the turn of the year. On a seasonal
ly adjusted basis, wOmen's apparel
and accessory lines have shown con-
siderable fiuctuatiOn. So has mems
wear business, which was up sharp
ly over the year-end but susequent-
ly fell off in the late winter. Sales
in some of the home furnishings
departments-nOtably furniture and
floor cOverings-suggest a renewal
of buying interest lately. Appliance
business has been off since last

ago levels.
InStalment Volume Is OF Somewhat
No significant changes have ap-
peared in the proportion of cash to
charge-accOunt sales, but there has
been less instalment buying than
a year ago at the Districts depart
ment stores. 1t is possible that more
instalment business could have
gone to discount houses or dealers
custOmarily accepting trade-ins as
part payment on appliances and
similar items of household dur
ables. But it is more likely that
consumers are just not spending
so much on this type of merchan-
dise-as the sales records for these
departments seem to indicate.
Inventory Adjustments Are Con-
tinuing
Department stores began reduc-
ing inventories last October, and
the decline has continued without
interruption through March. With
the decline in sales volume late
last summer, inventories quickly
became out of line. The spread was
widest when sales reached their
lowest point last September. Stock
sales ratios through the first quar-
ter of this year still were higher
than in the corresponding periods
of either last year or 1852. They
were highest in main-store depart
ments, but that has been the area
where sales volume has shown the
greatest stability in recent months.
