Answer: BY all means have
your daughter elect a foreign
language. If anything, she is
one year too late. A four-year
sequence in a foreign language
is the ideal arrangement. But
a minimum of three years is
required in most Of the top-level
colleges and universities. Even
if this means taking one course
less in science or math, I would
urge as strongly as I can that
your daughter take three years
of a foreign language.
| Which language she selects
does not really matter at this
time. Much would depend upon
the languages offered, the
teachers and the school Sched-
ule. The most commonly Of
fered languages are French
Spanish and German. The COL
legeS would accept any one of
these three for admission,
knowing a language, even
though on a limited basis, will
make your daughter a better

have an acquaintance with a
culture outside our own.

as the teacher asks for. What
can I do?-J. w., Helper, Utah.
When you have to learn lists
OF items which are so unrelated
that recall is difficult, this
memory system will help:
When you study a list of
five statements, word the state
ments in such a way that the
last words of the first state

second statement. The second
statement ends with a cue lead

BY LESLIE j. MASON
Professor Of Education,


University Of Southern California
Summer is the time for par
ents to take over the informal
education of their children.
For the past few weeks I
have been suggesting some sim
pie things that parents can do
during the summer to help their
children succeed in school.
Now comes a mother who
knows what to do. What she
needs to know is how to do it.
Dear DR.. Mason:
How can I encourage my
children to see and feel things
clearly enough on q summer
trip or excursion to help them
in their stories and descriptions
in school?-Mrs. s. M, Calgary,
Alta.
1t is easier to put your
thoughts and feelings into
words at the time an event is
happening than at some later
time.
Encourage your children to
think: What can I write to
Grandpa or Grandma about
this?'
Your child's attempt to
formulate description will in
crease his awareness, improve
his perception. stimulate his
imagination and increase his
enjoyment of it all.
Dear DR.. Mason:
I have a son in the second
grade. He had an average re-
port through the year. For the
last five weeks of school he
didn't do any work.

Question: How can we en-
courage q high school student
to read the classics and other
;:ceat stories written in the
authors own language? Our
daughter, who viii be in the
10th grade, has never read an
unrevised classic. In the ninth
grade her class was fed IVAN
hoe" in pablum form. For va
cation projects we have tried
to upgrade her reading and,
as a final resort, offered to pay
her for reading and reporting
to us on such books as "Moby
Dick" A Tale of Two Cities
and king Arthur" am sorry
to say our efforts have failed,
She loves to read but seems
to have no interest in humping
heads with the masters.
Answer: You raise a serious
question. How can parents, and
teachers, develop better reading
habits in our children? IN
fortunately, many schools do
just what you indicate is done
in your daughters classes: The
classics are rewritten or watered
down, presumably to meet the
reading level Of the particular
grade.
I think this is wrong. I be-
lieve we underestimate the
abilities Of our students. Surely
a ninth grader should be ex-
pected to read "Ivanhoe," "A
Tale of Two Cities" or any
similar book in the original.
We have gone too far over
board on the "see Dick run,
see, see" school of teaching.
But you are going about cor
recting your daughters reading
habits in the wrong way. have
never found bribery to be of
help. If anything, your offer
to pay for reading and report
ing on books will create a re-
sentiment. The desire, the mott
Walton, must come from with n.
What can you dop First, see
that the schools give the stu
dents a good reading program,
unadulterated and constructive.
It's time we got rid of the
predigeSted classics. And then,
without making an issue spread
some of these classics around
the house. They are not ex-
pensive. Most are available in
paperback editions. Once your
daughter starts reading good
books she won't have any use
for watered down works.
Question: Are there any
other people left in today's
world beside myself who believe
their child's reward in a good
report card is enough in know
ing he did his best and earned
good marks. My 9-year-old sor
had IL AS and two Bs on hi,
report card. A friend told hin
he deserved a dollar from u
for such good marks. Thi
friend has one child in gram
mar school. We have three ant
another one starting next year
Rewards could become ex.
pensivel
Answer: No rewards! I am
convinced that q child can dc
his best work without punish
ment on the one hand or super
fetal awards on the other. But
/ certainly would reward him
with such comments as Billy,
this is wonderful" or I'VE are
proud Of the good work you
are doing" If you show that
you are pleased, and that you
do take an active interest in
your child's progress in school,
you will accomplish more than
any amount of money you may
spend in rewards.

tant is a foreign language in

The calendar won't verify it,

startled one morning this week
when she looked out on her
back lawn during a snowfall
and saw a robust flock of red
breasted robins at her bird
feeding station.
Although they were a full
month ahead of the calendar,
these harbingers of Spring APP
peared none the worse for their
early venture into these chimes,
Mrs. Brunson reports.
"There were 10 of Them" she
said, "all of them as big and
fat as I've ever seen. They'd
had no trouble finding food,
wherever they came form"
The robins stayed about three
hours, Mrs. Brunson said, before
they were chased off by star
