SO F French Teachers
Graduated by HoIIins

ROANOKE. Va. Aug. 20
(AP). - Fifty high school,
French teachers graduated to-
day from the second Hollins
College Language Institute
The teachers are the products
of the first advanced-level
French institute held under
the Defense Education Act OF
1858.
They are, according to
Maurice w. Sullivan, director
Of the institute, the best-pre-
pared secondary-level French
teachers in the country.
IT'S just a matter of fact
he said. They are the only
group now prepared to use
modern structural linguistic
techniques. the so-called new
method"
They now know what the
linguists are talking about anc
can apply the methods to high
school teaching, according tt
DR.. Sullivan, who is associate
professor of modern language.
at the college.
But more valuable thar
these accomplishments, he said
is the fact that these teachers
have become language analyst
themselves.
They know the difference.

penmanship is poor. She's been
pleading for a portable type
writer. Would that help her in
school? Or would it be a dis
traction to good study?
Answer: If you can afford it
I would advise you to buy your
child a typewriter. A recent
study, made by Teachers College
(Columbia), Boston University
and the University of Illinois
found that the manual portable
typewriter can be used effec-
lively in improving work habits
developing skill in English me-
chanicS and improving the writ
ing of compositions.
The year-long study, con-
Quoted independently by a re-
search team of college profess
sors found that the use of type
writer's stimulates fourth and
fifth grade children Of all levels
of ability to prepare longer and
more comprehensive reports in
various subjects. especially in
English and social studies. Per-
haps most surprisingly, it was

public or private. But I've been
turned down everywhere be-
cause 1 am not a citizen. Is
there a central organization
that handles these matters?
Answer: Not that I know of
Have you tried the Institute of
International Education, l East
SiXty-seventh street, New York
City? Since you are a nom
citizen and interested in edu-
cation. the institute may have
the information you seek. Most
schools would probably reject
you because you wouldn't fit
their needs. 1t is difficult to
get a teaching job, despite the
critical shortage, if you don't
have a license nor meet the re-
quirements of the State educa-
ton department.

Evening star., 1960-08-21

Familiarity with these areas
of conflict enable the teachers
to spot snags in the commu-
nication of the language before
they occur.
The Hollins contribution to
the aims of the Defense Edu-
cation Act-to raise the level
of high school-has been off
cially more than successful,
according to DR.. Sullivan.
But one unusual situation
has arisen.
Certain studies have shown
that the level Of language COM
prehension is as high at age IL
as it is at age 10.
Since then the overall aim
has been to lift high-school
teaching to a college level" he
said.
But if we lift a high school
teacher to the college level, the
colleges grab him, and we have
to begin all over. This may not
be exactly the way the Federal
Government planned it. but il
eventually lifts both levels
he said.
Another difficulty DR.. Sulli-
van sees in the future is the
role the Institutes graduates
will assume.
They are now experts ir
their field" he says. This coulc
mean that a disproportionate
amount of their time will be
spent in administration and
explanation. hope this doesn't
happen" he said.

This makes no sense to me,
Obviously, no child will receive
an education best suited to his
abilities and vocational aims
in such a school, nor will the
bright child develop admiration
and respect for the dullard. or
the potential young delinquent
profit from association with
Well-brought-up children.
1t is far more likely that the
dullard will be frustrated: the
bright child bored; the average
child never challenged men
tally; the good child corrupted
by the young ne'er-do-well, and
everyone's manners and morals
down graded to a dead level of
mediocrity.
Do we want the services OF
doctors, lawyers, engineers and
other professionals? Well. we

er." and smack her child, too.
I'm against the good old days.
Question: My six-year-old
goes to school for the first time
next week. I've tried to make
her feel that school is a won-
derful thing, but she's getting
scared as the big day ap-
proaches. What can I do to
make her accept school?
Answer: You must accept it
first. Don't show your child
that you are worried or con-
cerned. And don't worry. Many
children are homesick and
frightened when they enter
first grade. This is particularly
true if they have not gone to
nursery or kindergarten. You'll
find that at the end of the first
week she'll love school. Re-
member the story Of Janet, who
on the first day of school began
to cry.
Are you homesick?" her
teacher asked, gently.
"Oh, no." came the fearful
reply. I'm here sick"
But if she does show signs
of excess fear, go to school
with her the first day. Stay
in school all day, if necessary.
I see nothing wrong in that.
Second Best
Question: I'm entering COL
lege in September, but not the
college of my choice. With a
B average I couldn't make the
Ivy League I wanted. But I
plan to transfer at the end Of
my freshman year. How do I
go about it?
Answer: I think you are
being unfair to yourself. Why
enter college with the thought
of transferring? That suggests
that you don't like your choice
and that you've taken it
as second best" Remember,
thousands of bright A students,
let alone B or lower ones, were
not admitted to the top-name
colleges. There just aren't
enough Harvards, Princetons,
Yales, Stanfords and Swarth-
moreS to go around. Give your
self a chance. Maybe you'll
find the college you are enter
ing to be just what you've
wanted. 1t won't be, if you
plan to transfer one month
before you even enter! I would
rather see you go to your COL
lege for four years, and then,
if your grades are good enough.
go to a name" graduate
school. Besides, it's not too
easy to transfer to the good
colleges. They admit very few
and the competition for the
few places is growing worse
each year. Before you think of
transferring. give the college
that admitted you a chance to
show what it has to offer you.

Of course, but it's not the only
