hesitates for quite awhile but

you offer a suggestion to help
her?-Mrs. H. B., San Jose.
Calf.
Have your daughter practice
speeding UP her handwriting
through the following steps:
Have her write a short SEN
tence. After rewriting the SEN
tence three times. have her
concentrate on improving her
handwriting and holding the
pencil correctly.
About the 10th line down,
have her increase her speed at
the same time maintain the
quality. Ten minutes Of prac-
tice per day will soon speed up
her classwork.

Dear DR.. Mason:
Our daughter is q bright
fourth-grader who does beauti-
fully in her school work.
Two years ago. as a second
grader, she was in a second
third combination class. Last
year she was In a straight third
grade. This year, she has been
placed in a third-fourth COM
bination. This seems to me
like an unnecessarily large dose
of third graded To top it off,
her third-grade sister. 2 years
younger, is In this same third
fourth combination. What Is
your opinion2-Mrs. C. w., Vir-
ginia.
Exposure to third grade ma
terial for three successive years
must seem like punishment to
your daughter. Either this or
the presence of her younger
sister in the same class justi-
flies a request to the school ad-
ministration for an immediate
re-assignment.

Dear DR.. Mason:
Our 4-year-old son has been
reading since just past his sec
ond birthday. Except for the
first steps, such as the alpha
bet and numbers, he is COM
pletely self-taught and by now
has a very large reading vocab-
ulary. In other ways also /
believe him to be above aver
age.
What type Of schooling
would you suggest for him?
Would he be bored in a public
school? I am not anxious to
push him past his social age
group.-I. F., Levittown, Pa.
Your decision not to push
him past his social age group
at this time is wise. There
are so many activities in a good
public school kindergarten that
your son should not be bored.
Children who are self-taught
in reading have enough initia-
tive to maintain their interest
in school situations even
though reading is not a part of
the program.
Continue to furnish him
with books and materials at
home so that he can continue
to develop his interest beyond
those Of the average group.

In 1899, M. Andreas Lauren
titus wrote q treatise on the
common cold. Said he: 1.-THE
brain is normally cold. A hot
brain would make a person
rash and heady with fanatic
ideas. An excess of excrements
might form In such a brain
and cause q catarrh Of hui
mours.
ITO prevent catarrh, the ex-
cess excrements flow through
the direct passage to the nose,
and the patient gets q good
case Of sniffles."
Laurentius' diagnosis Of the
common cold" was as good
as any until 1914 when Kruse
In Germany suggested this
viruses cause colds.
And, 1t wasn't until after
World War II that extensive
research really began on the
problems Of isolating and
Identifying the viruses W hi c h
cause the sneezing, dry cough,
and runny-nose symptoms so
many millions Of people have
known.
These postwar research pro-
grams have been successful in
some areas and unsuccessful In
others. On one hand, numerous
viruses which cause cold-like
diseases have been isolated and
an effective influenza vaccine
developed. On the other hand
many illnesses in the "cold
family" are not covered by vac
cine. More viruses must be
identified and labeled.
Terry Pushes Research
All in all, the problem re-
mains serious enough that the
United States Public Health
Service has intensified its at
tack on colds. Surgeon Gen.
eral Luther L. Terry recently
announced the creation Of a
special unit in the National
Institutes of Health to develop
and test vaccines against dis
eases known as common colds
In making the announce
ment, DR.. Terry called COM
mon colds "the largest single
disease problem of man" which
are responsible for: An esti-
mated loss to the United States
economy of more than SO bill
lion; an estimated SO per cent
of all illnesses between birth
and 10 years; more than 20
million illnesses per year ir
the preschool group.
More hard facts about colds
we're cited by participants al
q recent meeting of the con-
ference on respiratory diseases
In industry at Skytop, Pa. II
was reported that flu and other
respiratory diseases (includine
colds) are a major cause OF
work loss. accounting for more
than IS per cent Of the sotal
work days lost by American
industry because Of brief acute
illnesses.
This loss amounts to more
than so million days annually
However, there is room for
optimism. At the same meet.
ing, q breakthrough in the de-
velopment Of vaccines was re.
ported. A Tulane University re.
search team announced a sue
cessful vaccine against respira-
tory diseases, including some Of
the so-called common cold
illnesses.

BY Coincidence A
Letter from an old friend
reached me at the same
time as did a recent edition
of the Saturday Evening
Post. The letter from the
friend and an article
in the Post are on the
same subject - one
perhaps worthy of the
attention of all of us. The
friend . . is Harold Schunk
and he's superintendent
of the Rosebud Sioux In
dian Reservation in South
Dakota. He was asking my
help in publicizing the fact
that the Rosebud Sioux Res
ervation is out after
tourist business.
THE ARTICLE in the

Richard Dunlop de-
scribes the experiences of a
middle-WeSt family that
spent it's vacation on an
Apache Indian reservation
in Arizona.
Like the Apaches in Ari-
zona the Rosebud Sioux
Indians . in South Dakota
are turning their reser-

for tourists. American
families already think

recognized this and are do
ing something about it.
THE INDIAN LEADERS
have worked long hours
building the reservation
camps in hope the tourist
will come. So far they
haven't realized much
revenue from it but
they are hoping they will.
The Indians have no big
advertising budgets to
help them tell their story.
LESTER OLIVER
chairman of the Apache
Tribal Council in Arizona
says "We're trying
to better our personal lot
in life just like every
body else eventually
we intend to use Indian
investments to give in

If any single subject in
school is more important than
another it is the study Of the
English language.
Many students who are ma
joring in some other subjects
fail to see the Importance of
English, like the student who
recently sent me this letter:
Dear DR.. Mason:
1 make AS in art, but low
grades in almost everything
else. My worst subject is Eng
liSh. Do you think English is
for an art student?
E. N, Augusta, Mich.
It certainly Is! English is
your means of communication.
In any field, including art, you
must be able to make other
people understand what you
mean. You can not succeed in
anything until you master your
own language.
You an improve your ability
to communicate by writing a
paragraph a day. Have someone
read it and see whether they
get your idea. Then try rewrit-
ing it with fewer words.
Practice communicating this
idea until you succeed. Com
municating the next idea will
be easier.
Dear DR.. Mason:
I am planning a self
program to increase my vocab-
ulary. Do you have any sug-
geStions as to how I should
learn words? How many words
should I learn per day. Should
I study words beginning with
the same letter in one day? Or
should I study words with var
led beginnings?

work in a field that is most
useful.
OF course she won't remain
an innocent bystander." She
will participate in the various
experiments and projects set
forth in the curriculum. If she
is mature enough, and under
stands what she is doing, then
by all means don't discourage
her. There aren't many women
in the veterinary profession.
That should not discourage
your niece.
If she is good, and becomes
adept In her field, she will make
a valuable contribution. She
doesn't have to be warned. A
daresay her guidance counselor,
and the admissions officer at
the school of veterinary will
find out whether she is equipped
to undertake this field of work.
Question: Our son is 81
months old. My nationality is
Dutch and therefore I should
like to teach him my language.
My husband Is an American.
At what age shall I start? At
the moment he already repeats
many English words. Is there a
possibility that he will get
mixed up?
Answer: Don't worry about
your child getting mixed up"
Your young son is fortunate.
He will be able to learn q sec
ond language while he is still
an infant. If he hears English
and Dutch spoken in the house,
he will absorb both. It has
been found that children are
better adept at learning for
eign languages than grown
ups. That is why a trend exists
toward starting the languages
in elementary schools, rather
than high schools.
I would advise you to con-
tinue talking both languages in
the house. And permit your
child to absorb both. When he
goes to school his English will
be his native tongue, since all
his classmates and young
friends will speak this language
But he will always have the
advantage of having learned,
to some extent, a second Ian
guage.

MASON ON EDUCATION
English Study VitoI
For Every Student

~ understand thoroughly
what it means, and 90 learn
to pronounce it correctly. As
you say it aloud, you should
get a mental picture Of what
the word means.
Rather than learn words at
random, concentrate on those
you will be using in school next
year. Look at a history. geog-
raphy or science book that you
will be using. Build your vocab-
ulary from the words in the
introduction and early chapters
of these books.
Education consists Of related
and organized knowledge, not
in isolated bits Of information.
Dear DR.. Mason:
My daughter will be a soph-
omore in q very large high
school this fall. We have Just
moved from another city. What
advice can you give her about
being accepted?
r. S., Battle Creek, Mich.
If this is your daughters first
experience in a situation in
which all of the people are
strangers she should be warned
that acceptance does not come
from a group. She will make
new friends-one individual al
a time.
There will probably be one
or two girls who will have the
same classes with her on two
consecutive hours during the
day. If she is friendly with
these girls walking from one
class to the next, she will soon
feel accepted.
