Sid Took The Chance
Leaving the security of Caesars Hour and facing life
alone on my own merits - that was my triumph. That
was the story the news commentators missed.
That the story want to tell now. The day in 1854
when Sid called me into his Office to offer the spot

the story OF her tragic collapse
and her victorious recovery

of strained foods, she counted them
slowly as she placed them in his mouth.
Still later she taught him how to
count the apples and oranges as they
took them, together, from the grocery
boys basket. Thus, by the time he was
given his first allowance of five PEN
MES, he had a real knowledge Of the
amount of his wealth.
Paul didn't learn how to read until
his school teacher taught him. But he
did know how to turn the pages, how
to find and keep the place, and knew
very clearly that your eyes have to
travel from left to right across the
printed page.
But there were other reasons why,
in addition to this, that he was an ex-
cellent scholar and pleasure to teach.
He wanted to know about those funny
black marks and how they could tell
him such interesting stories.
AS a matter Of fact, he'd been in the
habit of making up his own and pre-
tending he knew how in imitation of his
Mummie and Dad who frequently read
to him.-And just as frequently en-
couraged him to ''read the pictures
and tell story about what he was
viewing.
Real Understanding
His vocabulary, however, was moi
fictitious in the least. He had very
real understanding of words and how
to use them. Not only did his parents
believe in employing "long words" ii
his presence as well as short ores. 81
that he could easily become familiar
with both, but they also encouraged
him to watch what went on about him
ask intelligent questions, and listen t.
the answers.
Similarly, when repairmen came t,
the house, to fix plumbing or broker
phone lines, MON didn't tell him to ''g
away and be quiet" Instead, if the mel
were the sort who really liked children
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-09-01

he could talk to them and learn about
their work. Otherwise, this lucky little
boy knew he could question his mother
and that she'd look up the answers later
in their home encyclopedia.
Not Too Late
If you have done things like this for
your child up to now, he's lucky
youngster, too. If you haven't, however,
its not too late to begin, even if he's
starting for school in very little while.
And you'll be doing much more than
simply charging his vocabulary and
giving him a dwarf s-eye-view of
whats going on
You'll be encouraging him to express
himself clearly, which is one of the long
range goals of anyone's education. This
will aid him immeasurably, once such
habits are entrenched, not only when
he just enters school, but all the way
through, and past, formal education.
You'll want to prepare him, however,
for many short range goals, too, that
will be of particularly practical value
on those unfamiliar days, like keeping
a continuous check on the condition Of
his health. This should include his usual
visits to the doctor and his twice yearly
ones to the dentist, so that, when the
time comes, he'll be in the pink.
Terrific Strain
For although few adults are aware of
this, it's a terrific strain on the energy
of the average 6-year-old who has spent
his life thus far in the company of three
or perhaps four other children, to be
suddenly plunged into world that con-
sists of at least twenty. And it's abso-
lutely vital, he feels, at this age, to
keep up with them physically in the
playground.
He'll also be very anxious to hold his
own in the classroom. But it will be
hard for him to do this if his eyes aren't
easily able to distinguish the difference
between p and q; u and n; o and c, or il
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-09-01
By BESS RITTER

his ears aren't sharp enough to make
auditory determinations between words
like how and now, and pie, not and
rot.
Social Happiness
And see to his social happiness. OF
course you can't provide him with TWEEN
ty close relatives who are all his own
age, in order to show him how to get
along in such group. But you can
teach him how to share things with the
other members of your family, no mat
ter what their age. Even more, you can
encourage him to play with and get
along with his contemporaries in your
immediate vicinity, so that he'll be well
versed in the easy graces of coOpera-
ton and friendship.
You can also start training him to
function as an independent individual.
Now, of course, he can turn to you to
take care of his many small physical
needs. But First Graders have to do
them for themselves, like crossing side
streets unaided, taking off and putting
on outer clothing, going to the toilet
without anybody's assistance.
On His Own
Mentally also, he'll be ON his own. In
particular this includes following simple
directions without turning to anyone
for reinterpretation, and in concentra-
ting on studies for perhaps Is minutes
at time.
And, in general, it will be of the ut
most Importance to get along with Nom
or Daddy for several whole hours, and
to get along comparatively with his own
small contemporaries for the same
amount of time.
Finally, when the big day looms real
close, the following check list will help:
Il Is he familiar with important
personal information, like his name, his
address, his telephone number, your
name, your husbands name and his
business address? This sounds like q

1T nm Happen in September

''My Jimmie is starting off for school
in September and I'm preparing him
for the first grade now
If you have a Sabotage yOungster
and are thinking along such lneS-lOOk
out There are many things, of course,
that you can teach him that will help
immeasurably But there are many
others that you can instil in his small
brain with painstaking care that will
actually retard his progress when he
reaches his first classroom.
That's what an ambitious neighbOr
of mine, who was very anxious to have
an honor-roll son, discovered after
working hard at teaching him how to
count by rote before he was ready.
He could count to two hundred. He'd
also labOriously learned how to recite
the alphabet and could even letter short
words like ''cat'' and rat" Of course
he didn't have too much understand
ing of what he was doing, but his

Not Equipped
AFTER all, I'm not equipped with the
up-to-date methods and materials of
the modern teacher
Nevertheless, she did an excellent
job-when it came to rObbing the boy
of the exciting experience of master
ing these first lessons on an equal foot
ting with his contemporaries.
Worst of all, she managed to implant
in him a real sense of Illustration and
failure that he hasn't overcome yet.
Because since he was only half past
four" when he was forced into learn
ing things that are normally expected
of the 6-year-old, he had real difficulty
IN grasping things that were supposed
to be reasonably easy. And would have
been, if he'd been ready.
Also Prepared in Advance
Another little boy who was in his
class, had also been prepared in adj
vance for the beginning of his grammar
school career. But instead of enterins
the classroom with the feeling that HI
would be unsuccessful at his studies
he easily kept pace, and frequently
learned faster than his fellow students
But his mother, contrariwise, neve
