D. c. Experiment Set
In Teaching Grammar

District schools are planning
their first experiment in pro
grammed learning" with a.
grammar course. You have to
go through the textbook IL
times to finish it.
The grammar course will be
tried out on a handful of Sc
lected junior high school classes,
according to Assistant Supt.
John D. Koontz.
The textbooks pages are not
even read from top to bottom.
Each page is divided into six
alternating gray and white
bands, or frames.
A student reads and does
what is required in the top
frame on the first work page.
Then he skipS a page, finds
the answer to the previous
frame beside the top frame on
that page, completes the frame
and goes on.
When he gets to the last top
frame at the end of the book,
he goes back and starts on the
second, white frames. After
he's all through with the right
hand pages, he goes back and
starts on all the lefthand pages,
for a total of IL times through
the book.
The student reasons his way
through the small learning
steps in each of 1852 frames
dealing with sentence structure,
verb and subject relations, pro-
noun usage and other subjects.
The student, confronted with
both explanation and exercise
in each frame, is supposed to
be right about 95 per cent of
the time. The textbook pro-
gram is similar to those used
in teaching machines. With
the textbook it is possible to
cheat by looking ahead, but
this shows up on regular tests.
Two advantages claimed by
proponents are that a student
has a built-in success motiva-
ton in being right, and that

done, in ways that will make
each member of the family
comfortable and proud of the
whole family.
Competitor Can Be Good
Competitions that develop
between brothers and sisters
can be good. Such competition
works best when it develops
automatically between the
children. But trouble may ap-
pear when parents try to be-
gin it or urge it on. Then
competition for its own sake
becomes a contest for the ap-
proval of the parents. No child
should be asked to risk losing
his parents love.
These things aren't always
easy to remember, but there,
is one simple precaution. Be
sure there is a basis for COM
petition. 1t sounds simple, but
it's often missed. Some chill
dren are blessed with more
ability, or different abilities
than others. Build up the best
qualities of each. Mary may
get better grades than Johnny,
but Johnny Swims whole lot
better.
Potential troubles may be
avoided if you take a few
minutes to list the strongest
and weakest qualities of each
of your children. You may be
surprised at the differences
You may discover where each
child needs praise, where he
needs encouragement and ways
in which he needs your help.

Only the desperate and
heroic efforts of firemen saved
the lives Of two brothers, aged
8 and 10. from almost certain
death as fire swept through
their frame home recently.
The fire was the work of an
efficient arsonist, almost 8
years old.
His motive? He was con-
WINGED that he needed to get
rid Of his brothers and he
couldn't find any other way to
do-it.
Was this the abnormal act
Of q pSychopathic child? Jimmy
&that's not his name-w S
committing an act that was
much too close to pSychopathic
for comfort. But Jimmy's &C
tons were also frighteningly
close to normal.
1T would be more accurate
to say that Jimmy was a very
troubled little boy, trying to
solve a problem that was much
too big for him.
Jimmy never told the whole
StoTy-that was beyond his
ability. But authorities got
dough information to piece
together Jimmy'S point of view.
In a nutshell, Jimmy's two
brothers were successful, and
he wasn't.
Before Jimmy even started
school he was used to hearing
his parents praise his brothers.
They were doing well in school
and the parents were so pleased
that their success became a
proud topic of conversation.
Fear Was ROadblOck
Jimmy was different. For
reasons quite beyond his con-
troll school was a problem for
him. He wasn't short on in
telligence, but he was certainly
lacking in confidence. He was
so paralyzed by the fear that
he couldn't live up to the repu-
tation Of his brothers that he
couldn't really think about
much else. AS might be ex-
pected, he met with crushing
defeat.
Why take it out on his
brothers? A child's logic rarely
follows adult patterns. He
needed the praise and esteem
Of his parents; his brothers
were getting it. To him it
seemed that they were his
only obstacle.
We can be grateful that such
cases are rare. At least, cases
that lead to such terrifying
results are rare. The feelings
aren't. Any teacher can list
cases in which children, and
their work, suffer from this
kind of problem.
Like most problems, these are
easier to avoid than to solve.
Most parents are fair. Most
realize that each child in the
family needs and deserves to
be loved for himself, not just
foE. what he does.
1t is easy to be proud of a
child who deserves special
recognition for outstanding
performance. 1t is hard to-
eqlalize the attention when
other children in the family
need it, too. But it can be

Sick African ViOlets

If the leaves of your African
violet plants are sick and dying,
the solution to your problem may
be as simple as putting aluminium
foil around the rim of the flower
-pot, according to Mr. Robert F.
Stevens. extension horticulturist
at the University of Delaware.
This condition often is caused
when the leaves come in contact
with the rim of clay flower pots.
Clay pots absorb salts from soil,
water and fertilizer and form a
deposit around the rim of the pot.
When the leaves and stems come
in contact with this deposit they
wither and die. So. Mr.. Stevens
explains, the problem, called petiole
rot, can't be balmed on insects or
plant diseases. Covering the rim
of the pot with a continuous strip
OF aluminium foil or enclosing the
whole pot in foil. keeps the stems
and leaves away from the suit de-
posits." Stevens says.
If this doesn't solve your prob
lem you'd better see IL insects or
plant disease Is causing the
leaves TO die.

State In Red
Despite Tax Revenue
Rise OF S832,320

Former Governor j. Caleb Boggs
i'm his final budget message. pre-
dicted deficit of $3.OOO,000 for
this fiscal year To keep the de-
ficit this low. the states income
would have to exceed expenditures
by $40, 100000 in the next four
months.
Abrahams credited his agency's
drive on tax cheaters for much OF
the increase i'm collections.
He also said that the collections
so far this year indicate that many
business firms weren't touched by
the recession.
Thousands of assessments of
taxes due have been sent to tax
payers. and thousands have had
to pay taxes overdue after the de-
partment filed collection cases with
magistrates Commissioners Abra-
hams declared
THE department is forced to
turn the overdue tax collection
cases over to magistrates because
we do not have enough employees
in the department to go after the
delinquents as does the federal
Internal Revenue Service" Abra-
hams said.
Recommending that those who
have not paid their state income
taxes do so now. Abrahams de-
clared that state law requires that
all residents and non-residents
earning $500 a year or more in
Delaware must file.
An official of one of the states
large companies informed him that
more employees are asking for in
formation on filing state income
taxes. than ever before, Abrahams
said This official was convinced
the campaign to collect current
taxes and bring in delinquent tax
es is having its effect" the Com
missioner said.
The next four months may re-
suit in a decrease compared to
1860 collections because reports of
decrease business activity and un-
employment in the last part of

more common items can be pro-
duced by dozens of plants through
out the nation. For example, if the
Army needs one million pairs of
shoes, half the contract can be
"Set aside" for labor surplus areas.
Firms in the labor surplus areas
bid on the contracts and. if their
bid is within 20 percent of the
price at which the government a
wards the major part of the con-
tract, the bidders are invited to
negotiate for the balance of the
"set aside" portion. provided they
will match the low price. Priority
is given in such negotiations to
small business firms in the dis
tressed areas (those which do not
employ more than 625 persons or.
in the construction industry. do
not have a gross over $5.000.0 .0001
If no bidders are found in dis
tressed areas that are able to
match the price for which the
main contract was let. negotiated
contracts are invited from bidders

However, a Pentagon procure
ment official recently was quoted:
Usually. we don't have to go be-

Sometime. the set-aside part of
the contract. If it is large. is divi-

Last year the Defense Depart

the basis of "set asides'
Although the number of areas
in which there is substantial un-
employment has now increaed to

that industries i'm this area, part
icularIy small plants. have much
better chance at defense contracts
than before.
Some government agencies, not
ably the Post Office Department
which buys a large quantity of
supplies. are under obligation to
place their purchase contracts,
wherever possible. in areas of un-
employment. Thus, the W h o g
picture of bidding on government
contracts is improved for local in

In the event of tie bids for any
