DEAR ABBY
Just Skip What They Will Say!
By ABIGAIL VAN sUREk

DEAR ABBY: After an g.
year friendship with another
couple, my husband and my
best friend confessed they
have been ''in love" for five
years. They asked for divorces
so they could marry eve have
8 children and they have 2)
There was nothing We could
do but give them their free
dom. They married February
14th, the day their divorces
became final.
The Tilted husband has
been coming to see me and
has been taking me out. I am
so lonely and so is he and we
have a lot in common. I think
I could care for him and he
says he wants to marry me.
He'd make a good husband,
and my children need a full
time father. I'd like to marry
him, but my parents are
against it. They say people
will say it was one of those
husband swapping deals"
that was cooked up a long
time ago. Please help me do
the right thing, Abby. I don't
want to ruin my reputation.

Boards Of Review
At each of the academies
there is a board that continu-
ally reviews the content OF
courses. These reviews have
prompted such changes as the
substitution Of geography for
surveying, once an important
skill for an Army officer.
Many of these content
changes have put additional
emphasis on basic knowledge
courses rather than training in
technical Skills. The curricu-
lum includes more nucleal
physics and nuclear chemistry
more social sciences and more
of the humanities.
Even a course called "ord.
nance'E n gin eering," which
sounds like routine weaponry
turns out to be a senior course
requiring the use of a multitude
of high-level intellectual tool;
such as calculus and intensive
! ly applied logic.
AS one Pentagon official put
it: This is not a course in how

how, the technical skills, belong

they are the experts. But par
ents have the right to complain
to the superintendent and

children are getting an made
quate education.
QUESTION: What difference
is there between an accredited
and a non-accredited college?
Does it matter which one I
attend? I believe my marks
will be high enough for me to
get into a good college.
ANSWER: Certain standards
have been created to Judge COL
leges and professional schools.
For example, to meet the re-
gional accrediting standards,
colleges may have to show
financial responsibility, main
tain an adequate library, have
an acceptable teacher-pupil
ratio, and employ competent
faculty members. In general,
the accredited colleges are the
older, better established insti-
tutionS. But many MONACO
credited colleges are doing a
good job and have a satisfac-
tory academic program.
Some graduate schools will
not accept you if you attend
a non-accredited college. So, if
you plan to go into medicine or
any other profession that re-
quires graduate study, you may
be handicapped if you attend
a non-accredited undergrad
uate institution. However, you
might check on the colleges
you have in mind. You may find
that some of the non-accredit-
ed institutions are worth at
tending.
QUESTION: Should a child
be able to read when he fin
isheS the first grade? NV Young
son appears bright enough, but
he's not much of a reader, even
though he has been promoted
to second grade. Can you sug-
gest what I should do?
ANSWER: I can, in two
words: Don't worry. Many
children leave the first or sec
ond grades without a sound
reading knowledge. There may
be many reasons. Your child
may be a late -bloomer, which
means he may blossom out
when he gets into the third or
fourth grade. He may be suf-
fering from physical immatu-
rity, and be unable TO co-ordi-
nate his eye muscles. Or, he
may have a poor teacher, and
has been unable to grasp the
fundamentals of reading.
See what happens in the Sec
ond grade. You may find that
he learns reading rapidly, and
keeps up with his class level.
But if he is still unable to grasp
this subject. he may need the
help of a remedial reading
teacher. Your principal will let
you know, I am sure. Despite
the millions of words that have
been written about reading, we
still don't know too much
about it. The important thing
is to develop a wholesome at
titude.
QUESTION: My daughter is
entering high school this fall.
She has to choose a foreign
language. I have recommended
French. She wants Spanish.
We have had many arguments
over it. Don't you think French
is a more universal language
and will do her more good in
the long run?
ANSWER:-I am going to
side with your daughter. Actu-
ally, both French and Spanish
are good languages for high
school students. AS long as
your daughter has her heart
set on Spanish, I wouldn't try
to dissuade her. You may find
that if she is forced to change
her language because of your
insistence, she may become re-
sentful and not work to her
