am. to 2:30 pm. and the
other half from $50 am.
to $3.50 pm. Thus. for two
hours each day, the teacher
has only 18 pupils.
Other schools offer tele-

onstrations in the school
auditorium. Part of the
class attends the lectures
and demonstrations while
the rest remain with the
teacher.
Admittedly, neither of
these systems is perfect but
most educators believe they
are better than keeping chill

longer priods during the day

After all, children need to

vealing it to her husband).
MY husband wouldn't
have to retire into moth
ing" says the wife. For
years he has been collecting
old-fashioned lamps, and
United States postage
stamps-no, I don't see the
connection between them
either. But they've been his
hobby. And one dresser
drawer is filled with the
latter of these, and the
basement is half full of the
other.
Il don't know whether he
should become a stamp
trader or whether he should
go into the lamp business.
But surely one or the other
would give him something
to occupy his time if he re-
tired, and I imagine would
give us some income if we
need it. I don't think we do.
How can I make him
quit?"
BY giving him a carrot
instead of the whip.
Most husbands after so
feel secure in their jobs and
quietly start tapering off.
Some don't. A psychiatrist
might figure this husband
was campaigning to make
himself so valuable the COM
pany couldn't afford to re-
tire him at IS. Whatever,
the wife thinks he is over
working. A wife should know.
Most men can be lured
into things that bulldozers
couldn't drive them into
retirement, for instance.
The old lamps can be con-
verted quite simply into a
cubbyhole antique shop in
some resort area. They can
provide work with the
hands, and an artistic outlet,
as the husband converts
them to modern use. They
are a fascinating collectors
item. and the husband and
his wife can find some of
their finest adventures by
roaming through rural areas

Should school days be
enlightened from six to
seven hours? Or should the
school year be extended
from 9 to 10 months? Or
are the days and years just
about right now?
You hear those arguments
when parents and teachers
get together to talk shop,
particularly at this time of
year when schools are get
ting ready to close for the
summer.
The theory behind longer
school days and years is that
it would give teachers more
time to give individualized
help to their pupils.
Could Use Help
Certainly our children
could use more individual
lied help.
When we look at the num-
Der of children who do not
read "up to grade level" or
who fall behind in other
subjects, we have cause for
alarm. True, they are a
minority, but one is one too
many.
So many things have to be
taught during a school year
that the teacher who covers
them all according to the
book has little time left to
help a single youngster.
The average number of
children packed into an
American schoolroom is SO.
Virtually the entire school
day must be given over to
group instruction.
Would longer school hours
help?
If the extra time is de-
voted to more group instruc-
ton, it probably wouldn't.
If it could be devoted to in
dividual instruction, it prob
ably would. -
The answer seems to lie
not in the length of the
school day but in reducing
the size of the classes to
allow the teacher more time
with the individual pupil.

this by having half the pu-

Il am SO years old and
my husband is So, and more
than anything in the world
I want to take him away
from his job before it kills
him and save him for
my own"
This wife has lived
through "a years of mar
riage without letting her
husband know she is older
than he is. And she is not
about to let him know now.
But neither does she intend
to lose him at a time of life
when she could hope for
nothing beyond being a
lonely old lady"
MY husband, so far as
I can tell. is secure enough
in his job" she says. He
has been with the company
almost 80 years, and is
thought well of. But for the
last two years or so he has
been more apprehensive
about his security.
Maybe it was because he
passed so. Maybe something
happened at the office he
never told me about. ANY,
way he has been trying
harder and harder. At first
he began staying after hours
in the afternoon. Then he
started going to the COM
pany on Saturdays. Then he
began going earlier in the
mornings.
He is working himself to
death. I can't stop him. I
argue. I threaten. I pur-
poSely become diSagreeable

in on Saturday. Nothing
works. :"
According to the wife,
they would have an income
of 1854 a month if she
could make the husband re-

her own social security

library and some tours

help. Also, she can prove
to him that the 1854 income
they'll have will be enough.

IF YOU BREAK down the

find that "cardio" pertains
to the heart and vascular"
to the blood vessels. There
for, the person who has

have heart disease, blood

nation, therefore, come all
kinds of well-known condi-

cular disease is a vague
term. 1t doesn't tell you ex-

that they should know Just
what kind Of disease they
have. Ask your doctor and
he will be glad to tell you,
Mrs. c., if your malady is
coronary disease or some
thing else.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have an electric blanket
which is my pride and JOY.
However, I've heard that
they may be harmful, and
that ones own body tenn

However. If you had a peptic
ulcer of the stomach itself,
I'd say that you'd better be
watchful.
Doctors usually have such
patients come in for an X
ray of the stomach at least
twice a year. If the changes
on the X-ray indicate that
the ulcer isn't getting
smaller with treatment (and
perhaps larger) it is wise to
have a surgical consulta-
tion.
For sometimes it is diff
cult, under similar condi-
tions, to know If we are
dealing with an ulcer or
with cancer of the stomach.
When in doubt, I believe
such a patient should UNDER
go surgery. You can't lose
precious time where cancer
is the culprit.
