everybody reads evaporates
quickly from his memory.
In today's chat, we are
going to give you q plan
which will help anchor in
your mind q large part Of
what you read so 1t will be
there ready for use when
needed.
The outcome Of reading by
haphazard methods Is so bad
that we sometimes wonder
why people bother at all.
Tests have shown that a So
called good reader can get
20 per cent Of the ideas in
an article In the first read
ing, but that a week later
little Of the information re-
mains lodged in his mind.
You'll never be able to plug
all the holes in this sieve
called the human brain. But
you can plug up many Of
them If you 60 about it in
the right way.
George told US he couldn't
answer questions on tests to
the satisfaction Of his
teacher. We took q look at
his papers. They revealed

above for 10 days. He then
took another test.
At the end Of Georges
paper the professor wrote:
Good. at last you've
learned to think precisely"
Hitting on All 10
George, who had been
earning IDS" up to this
point, received q grade Of
"B" for the semester. He
had learned to read for
meaning instead Of Just gaz-
ing at words. He had learned
to use his entire thinking
space while reading.
Few persons use their
brains to full capacity.
OF the brains conscious
thinking space only one
tenth Gust a hall closet,
nothing more) is needed to
listen to the actual words
said by a speaker. What hap
pens to the rest of the floor
space?
It doesn't stand vacant.
Something moves in. The
space is filled from some
source, from the sights and
sounds around you, from the
radio, the TV, the honking
of cars IN the street.
It may be occupied by feel
ings Of hunger, Illustration.
or wearinesS, or thoughts Of
ambition or resentment. It
may be filled with apprehen-
sion, fear, worry or a tumble
Of all these things.
You should-and you can
fill in those improperly
filled spaces with thoughts
of your own choosing and
employ them in definite and
appropriate tasks Of learning.
Thus, reading should be
done against some back
ground Of purpose. II 1t is,
full attention can be focused
on the assignment at hand
and an efficient use made
Of time.

make a wonderful teacher.
She's so bright and patient,
and has such a way with
children.
Aida Y.-Dad's Just repeat
ing the same old cliches that
life on the stage is one Of
sham and false values.
I'm II and have spent the
past two summers as an ap-
prentice in a highly rated
summer stock company in
New England. I painted
scenery, handled makeup,
played bit parts, and learned
how much sweat and tears go
into a production. I have
respect for everyone in the
game. I long to be part Of it.
When college opened, I
applied for classes Of The
American Theater Wing. To
my delight, I was accepted.
I may return to teacher
training courses. I'll still be
getting a wonderful educa-
ton. including languages and
writing.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Mr.. Y. can take heart from
two signs: First, the extent
Of her skill has been deter
mined; second, she's not de-
lusional or unrealistic. Her
feet are on the ground-the
cold bare floor Of a stage
with slippery ladders.
Whether Aida stays with
the theater, her training will
have lifelong benefit because
1t strives to teach her to
com m unic ate effectively.
She'll learn poise and pos
ture, diction and voice pro-
lection. Nervous, jagged
manneriSms will be elimi-
mated, gracefulness and self
control developed.
Even If she ends by teach
ing or keeping house, Aida
can profit from such courses
as fencing, playwriting and
stage-lighting-to mention q
few.

DOWN ON THE FARM
Hidden Valley Secret
Is oCose of Burps

Great Wine Project. We
carted 20 crates Of our ap-
Piles to a cider mill, had them
pressed and took home q
50-gallon barrel Of cider.
From a Danish friend we
borrowed a saccharometer,
which measures the sugar
content Of cider; a hydrom-
eter, in which the saccha-
rometer swims, and added the
proper amount Of sugar to
three five-gallon carboys Of
cider.
There's more to it than
that-a yeast starter, q
yeast feed and other secrets.
In no time at all we had
these three glass carboys
setting in our storeroom next
to the kitchen. One began
perking a few hours later,
after frothing at the top, but
the two twins" were slow to
perk, having a different kind
Of yeast starter.
The "perking" is the dis
charge Of carbon dioxide
into a glassful Of water
through a long glass tube. II
the gas were not permitted
to escape, a sparkling wine
would be made. I think.
THE TREASURY Depart
ment has stiff rules for such
winemaking at home. ANY,
one can make up to 200 gall
Ions Of wine. but, says the
department, all Of this must
be consumed in the home by
the winemakers. It cannot
be a joint project with
friends or neighborS.

that George wasn't getting or
retaining precise meanings
from his textbook.
Our advice to George was
simple. Here we suggest 1t
to you as a general pattern
for your reading. In a later
article. we will go into
greater detail.
Once Isn't Enough
Read your assignments
three times, as follows:
One, skim through the en-
tire assignment to get q gen.
eral idea Of what the chap
ter Is about.
Two, keep this general idea
Evening star., 1961-02-01
you CAN MAXI;
BETTER a2!Ll{A

in mind and read the assign
ment again with the aim Of
fitting the information and
that idea together.
Three. having fitted the
big idea and the information
together in q main pattern,
read for details and exact
meanings and associate them
with the proper larger items
in the general outline.
Thurman Wade, the speed
reader we told you about in
the first article, compares
reading with the working Of
a Jigsaw puzzle:
'You don't progress very
fast II you scatter the pieces
on the table and try to fit
them by trial and error.
THE smart jigsaw puzzler
first takes a good look at the
picture on the box. Is 1t q
landscape? Then he sees that
the blue pieces are going to
fit into the sky and the green
pieces into the trees, and
that spotted pieces represent
the grazing COW.
HE conditions himself to
what is coming. and he's
ready to work the puzzle. It's
the same with reading. You
have to get that big IDEA
before you can fit the read
ing material into its correct
perspective"
But what about our hero,
George?
George practiced reading
by the three steps described

all this is that Miriam and

Therefore he thought 1t wise
