 Here at Christmas Park; for 2o' years now, he and his helpers have been going in for higher education at the country's only Santa Claus school
 During that period the number of students, sent by stores and other organizations, has increased gradually until the enrolment for the one week course in October is in the 4OS.. 4t esF a5
 How on earth can Santa Claus spend a whole week brushing up on his business? 4a s1HA4 ah That says Charles Howard, is not the problem The real rub is cramnling into one week all the subjects that Santa should know. { There are lectures ahd demon <stratIons aa 27 subjects. such as !, the fiistoryand evolution of Santa, ; makeup and costume. child psy- chology. toys fyr different ages, stories and a1annerislns.

 What does it take to be sue cessful Santa Claus?
 Children Hard TO Fool
 The basic requirement, says Howard, is genuineness. Watch the details of appearance, because the youngsters will trip you up if you get careless. Play the hearty, friendly role of Santa to Che hilt, whenever you are in costume Without trying to deceive, turn aside child's inquiry about your identity, but if he insists concede that you are one of Santa's help CTS.
 If you aren't giing to do a good job. whether it be in a store or in your home, don't do 1t at all," Howard says. Parents sometimes fail miserably because they don't; work at the project. But if you can impress your own children, you are good Santa. Children are smart and hard to fool slTs N N (;
 Howard's successful business enterprise stenalned from his own interest in the work.
