MASON ON EDUCATION
The Joy Of Learning
Can Be Preserved

it sets the stage for trouble.
Excellent handwriting, of
course, does not insure fu-
ture success in school. But,
poor handwriting can be
more of a handicap than
even educators realize.
If they are willing to prac-
tice and make q complete
switch to curSive writing,
they are rewarded with better
grades.
Parents and teachers can
help students avoid many
later difficulties if they insist
upon sufficient early practice
to insure that the switch is
actually accomplished.
About the same time pupils
are faced with the big change
in textbooks. Suddenly many
children have difficulty in
reading. Those who have as
sociated the stories with the
pictures instead of actually
reading the words are sud-
denly in trouble.
Someone with sufficient
patience must take time to
see that each child can &C
tually read. Many need help
to raise their reading profi-
cheney and retain their joy in
school work.
While these changes are
taking place there also is a
change in emphasis from
learning just for satisfaction
to competition between the
individuals.
I have no objection to COM
petition. 1t is a necessary
part Of our culture. But dur
ing this critical period when
so many basic learning skills
are just starting major devel-
opment. more encouragement
should be given to the idea
of helping each other.
This may we'll be the
make-or-break period for
many. 1t is certainly the time
when for some school be-
comes drudgery and is no
longer fun.

Professor Of Education,

School is especially exciting
to the youngster in the first
grade. He is meeting new
friends. taking part in new
activities. seeing new things.
Learning is fun.
But by the time our happy
first grader has reached the
sixth grade, the chances are
he has become either wary or
weary of school work. Learn
ing isn't fun any more.
The wary youngsters are
careful to give the answers
they think the teacher wants
to hear. They are not trying
to learn. They are just try
ing to get by.
Some have simply given up
trying to meet the demands
of school. They have entirely
lost the JOY of learning.
School is just a tiresome
chore; a big bore.
Somewhere between pri-
mary and the intermediate
grades - especially in the
third grade-children make
some hazardous changes.
They must:
. Switch from manuscript
lettering to curSive writing.
Q Change to textbooks
with smaller print, fewer pic
lures and many more words
on a page.
Q arm to mpete
against classmates.
These are the situations
that demand more attention
by parents and teachers. 1t
is easier to help children re-
tain their enthusiasm than to
help them regain it.
Take handwriting, for in
stance. 1t is a complex op-
Grafton. Facility in hand
writing requires as much
repetitive practice as learn
ing to play the piano or to
type.
Many pupils fail to make
this change successfully and

LEE ACCEPTS
HER ROLE AS
A CHALLENGE
By RICHARD T. CLOONAN

EPLACING actresses with
bigger names is becoming
a habit with Lee Remick.
Evening star., 1962-01-14

"a
a habit with Lee Remick.
Otto Preminger selected her at % to
replace Lana Turner in the movie,
ANATOMY of Murder" following
dispute with the veteran actress.
Lees performance then convinced
everyone she was a star with a future.
Once again this Sunday evening she
will play a role first assigned to some
one else AS Katrin, the country girl
who takes a big city by storm, Lee
replaces Polly Bergen in live color
cast of The Farmers Daughter" on
MICS "Theater g." Miss Bergen
withdrew from the cast because of
other commitments.
This time, Lee is confronted with
greater challenge, for, in effect, she
also is replacing Loretta Young, who
played the role of Katrin so we'll in
the movie of The Farmers Daugh-
ter" in l947 that she won an Oscar.
But Lee will have competent help
from the supporting cast with Charles
Bickford as Clancy, the butler, the
same role he had in the movie Also
on hand will be Peter Lawford, cast
as Glenn Morley, young politician
infatuated with Katrin, the maid who
works in the Morley household.
If anyone can cope with chal-
lenge, Lee Remick can. She has
found nothing but success since she
landed a part in a Broadway show at
l6, played in summer stock and TV

shows, and made her movie debut in
Ella Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd"
Although there have been attempts
to build her up as the American chal-
lenge to Brigitte Bardot, Lee says:
Pm just about the most normal
girl you'd want to meet. Anyone who'd
want to build me up as movie siren
would have to be crazy. I'm not really
personality, I'm an actress. | don't
want to play the same kind of girl in
show after show. And | WON'T
Just to prove it, she played
M irand a in Shakespeares The
Tempest" on MICS Hallmark Hall
of Fame" in 1860.
Daughter of a Quincy, Mass, de-
partment store owner, she graduated
from fashionable Miss Hewitt's School
for Girls in New York and quit Bar
nard College to concentrate on acting.
Now married to TV director Will

Results of the poll were re-
leased at a business session
prior to tomorrow'S formal
opening Of the annual conven-
ton of the National School

Sixty-three per cent of the
board members said they be-
lieve their school districts will
have, from sources currently
available, sufficient funds for
needed construction and for
teachers salaries for the next
five years. Twenty-four per
cent said they will not. The
rest were undecided or didn't

instinct for subtle gradations
in tonal dynamics, a silvery
touch, a gift for lyricism.
The big blockbusters are not
for Mr.. Casadesus-he is at his
best in a work such as the
Saint-Saens. which requires
the sympathy and veritable
collaboration of the performer
in order to make its strongest
impact. The piece is well-made
but it does have arid stretches.

It was a genuine pleasure to

Symphony Orchestra.
The distinguished French
pianist was the featured artist
in two Of the lesser known

one of the largest NSO audi

Mr.. Casadesus is beginning

there is about him the air Of
