ago. Although extra-curricular
activities are important, COL
leges today are more concerned
with your marks. You may be
bright. but your record doesn't
show it. Many admissions Of

a chance on you. They don't
want to accept students who
may funk out. However. don't
get discouraged. There are
many colleges that will accept
you.

Question: My daughter is
very bright. She's only IA and
lis a senior in high school
Should she enter college this
fall? Won't she be too young
But what can I do with her?
Maybe I shouldn't have let her
skip as much as she did.
Answer: Sometimes talented
children are a mixed blessing
They cause you headaches as
we'll as bring you happiness. A
number Of colleges are expert
'menting with the early admis-
sion plan-that is, they take
high school students who are
l6 years old and have not yet
finished high school. But IA is
rather young. Your daughter
will be thrown in with bows
and girls considerably older
than she is. Certainly she'll be
at a disadvantage when it
comes to dating or to taking
part in some of the school ac-
tivities. Perhaps it might be
wise to send her to a post

FORUM
BY BENJAMIN FINE

Question: I'm planning to 60
to college this fall. but I'll have
to work my way through school.
Will work affect my marks?
Answer: Not at all. More
than so per cent Of college stu
dents help earn their way
through college. Such odd jobs
as serving as dining room watt
ers. bus boys, library attendants
or baby sitters to faculty mem
bers are available on almost
every campus. Your marks
won't suffer il you limit the
amount Of outside work you do
and if you devote yourself to
your studies.
Question: I'm in somewhat of
a quandary. I didn't study
while I was in nigh school. I
served on all kinds of commit
tees, went out for sports and
have many citations for student
activities. But I don't have
any grades to speak Of. just a
rs average. I've been turned
down by the three colleges l
wanted to enter-Harvard, Co.
lumbia and Stanford. Whatll
I do now?
Answer: Too bad you didn't
ask that question four years

she's IS. she'll make . better
adjustment in college.
Question: What do you do
about under-achievers? I know
my boy, who Is 16, is bright.
Yet his marks don't show it.
He's just getting by in his ge-
ometry and French and is
barely passing history. But he's
a whiz in chemistry. He has all
kinds Of gadgets in our base
ment. Sometimes I think he'll
make a human Sputnik Of him.
self. But he won't study. I've
nagged and nagged until I'm
blue In the face. tell him he
won't get into any college un-
less he knuckles down to work.
What is the formula?
Answer: Unfortunately, there
is no magic formula to get a
boy or girl to study. Very often
your nagging hurts, rather than
helps. He may resent your con-
slant harping. But the line be-
tween gentle prodding and
nagging is rather thin. It's hard
to know where one begins or
the other ends. First, I would
leave him alone for a while.
See if that helps. Then. I would
make things comfortable, as far
as studying is concerned. If he
doesn't already have it, give
him his own room, with his
own desk and study lamp. His
interest in chemistry might be
used as wedge to get him ex-
cited about other areas Of
learning. You see, I don't have
any finai answer for you. AS
the father of four daughters,
two Of them in college, I know
that you can't force a 16-year-
old to do anything. You can
only hope and pray.

ARLINGTON
Arlington this year reaches
the $4,000 mark in student en-

to the opening Of kindergartens

The first class will total about
80 pupils.
At the same time, the county
again for the first time-will
offer instruction in Russian.
The class will be taught at
Wakefield High School on an
elective basis. 1t is in Arling-
ton, too. that students-if they
choose to do so-can take part
in a longer school day. Aimed
at the bright student who
wishes to take a course he can
not otherwise find time for, the
county has added an hour to
the daily schedule.
Tackled onto the end Of the
day, the students will remain at
school for a seventh period.
Most all major subjects will be
affected and buses will be pro-
vided to take them home at the
later hour.
The county also will initiate
a unique program of teaching
art and English in the same
class. The program will consti-
tute an experiment in relating
English to art down through
the ages. One period a week
Will be devoted to a seminar.
The county also has an
nounced the hiring of three

AHTee II Emphasized
There also is a trend, more
notable in the District than in
nearby Maryland and Virginia
toward a return to more en-
phasis on the three RS.
An example is the acceptance
this week of the Districts new
experimental Amidon Elemen-
tary School at Fourth and
streets S.W., where, according
to the wishes of School Supt.
Carl F. Hansen. emphasis will
be placed on the "fundamen-
tails" The so-called "frills"
will be non-existent.
Among the pertinent, and in
some cases significant, develop

noted during the coming year
in District area schools are
these:

schools, l2,6O0 in senior high
schools and 1900 in vocational
schools.

Another 1900, not included
in the overall enrolment count
because the courses are set at
a higher level, will attend
classes at D. C. Teachers Col
lege.
The sign to watch the closest
IN the Districts new year-due
10 become more obvious as the
faIl term progreSses-Will be the
all-out effort on the part of
school officials, including teach
ers, to solidify and expand on
a program begun here last year
to emphasize training in the
basic school subjects-reading,
writing and arithmetic.
Supt. Hansen has hit this
point hard in recent months.
The efforts of both teachers
and students will be guided
more in the direction of the
fundamentals - how to read
we'll and spell correctly, and
how to add 20 and 20, with no
"frillS" to illustrate it.
"Old Fashioned" Teaching
Lending emphasis to the
drive will be the acceptance this
week of Amidon, where Supt.
Hansen will see his return to
"old fashioned" teaching put
into effect on an experiment
tai" basis. The school will be
open in time for classes on Sep
tember 7. Two other elementary
schools also are scheduled to
open their doors for the first
time-Maude Alton and Ma
thilda Minor.
The year also will be marked
by the opening of the Districts

or "in mint condition" are well
