daughter has Just finished the
fourth grade. The principal has
suggested that we allow her to
skip fifth grade as she has
been ahead of her class each
year. Our school is geared to
the average child and has no
facilities for allowing children
to advance as they are ready.
What is your opinion about
skipping grades? We don't want
to push Christine, but we don't
want her to lose interest in
school and become lazy.
ANSWER: The pendulum has
swung back and forth on this
issue. Years ago skipping and
holding back" were accepted
practices. Then came the find
ings of psychologists, indicat-
ing that this did not always
work out in the best interests
of the child. If you skip a child,
you may take him out of his
social or emotional age bracket
and force him to operate on a
more advanced level.
Much depends on the matur-
ity of your daughter. If she can
cope with children a year or
two older than she is, skipping
might not be harmful, but in
principle I am opposed to
skipping.
If your principal recon-
mends skipping, and you feel
that Christine can handle her
self well in an older group, I'd
let her enter the sixth grade
this fall. But with this pro-
viso: If you find she does not
adjust readily, have her re-
turned to her own classmates
in the fifth grade.

Red Captiyes

Suggestions on how to help
people in captive nations over
throw Communist rule with
out causing nuclear war flowed
freely at the opening event of
Captive Nations Week observ-
ances here yesterday.
They ranged from proposals
that refugees in this country
tell their story on television to
direct peaceful assistance to
captive peoples.
At the same time, speakers
at the event acknowledged that
since Congress passed reSolu-
ton three years ago establish
ing Captive Nations Week, the
23rd nation, Cuba. has been
added to the list of those I'M
der Communist domination
and that the movement to lib
crate captive peoples has not
achieved the success hoped for.
The occasion for this in
formal assessment of the
chances for freedom in the ma
ton under Communist domi-
nation was a meeting at the
Dodge House sponsored by the
Washington Captive Nations
Week Committee.
Words Are Weapons
Words are the sticks and
stones of the psycho-political
warfare being waged today and
the West must use them or it
will join other peoples in cap
tivity. Associate Professor
James D. Atkinson of George
town University said. The
former counter-intelligence Of
ficer said that peaceful CO.
existence as viewed by the
Communists amounts to sur
render on the installment
plan.
Although the Soviets freely
use psycho-political warfare,
he said. they threaten nuclear
war if we attempt to use it to
strike at the captive nations.
Khrushchev's denunciations
of the yearly Captive Nations
Week proclamations prove that
words are effective, declared
Professor Lev Dobrianski, also
of Georgetown University and
chairman of the National Com
mittee on Captive Nations
Week.
DR.. Herminio Portell-Vila, a
former professor at Havana
University, who once flunked
Fidel Castro in history, pre-
dicted a bloody showdown in
Cuba soon. The Cuban people
are equal to the task of over
throwing Fidel, he said, but

By LESLIE ]. MASON
Professor Of Education,

University Of Southern California
The fact that there is no
school during the summer va
cation should not mean that
the process of learning comes
to a complete halt. But, since
children don't feel compelled
to study during vacations, the
situation has to be handle I
deity. Recently, I received this
letter from a mother:
Dear DR.. Mason:
How can I get my children
to settle down to reading and
writing without acting like a
mean old teacher?" When I
try to insist, my children be-
come rebellious. This is just the
opposite Of what I wish to ac-
complish. I want them to enjoy
these things. Mrs. A. NJ, Santa
Monica, Calf.
Try setting up a situation
where your children choose
these activities of their own
accord. One mother handled it
this way:
I'VE always have a rest
period after lunch-'a quie t
time imposed upon large as
well as small. If one does not
wish to sleep he may read. Or
he often will pick up a pencil
and paper and draw pictures.
This is a very beneficial period
of the day. The child has a
chance for a few thoughts of
his own. He can collect ideas.
Mark has come up with some
of his best figuring outs dur
ing this half-hour, and no one
objects to the routine"
Dear DR.. Mason:
Our sons report card has the
following comment from his
teacher: Even after I have
explained the work to the class
three times, John comes up and
says he doesn't understand. He
demands so much Of my time
I sometimes lose patience!"
Can we do anything durignI
the summer to help him?-Mrs.
G. w., Bradenton, Fla.
First, try to find the cause.
1t may be John merely has
a habit of not listening when
instructions are first given. If
he has this habit at school he
will have it at home, too. Does
he hear you the first time and
understand your directions?
Perhaps he wants individual
attention. Try giving instruc-
tons at the dinner table when
several persons are present. At
other times give them to John

Dear DR.. Mason:
My fourth grade sons report
card had a low grade in citizen
ship. The teacher explained that
he does not cooperate. What
can I do during the summer
to bring about improvement in
his attitude?-Mrs. P. j., Flush
ing, N. Y.
If your child learns to respect
the wishes of his mother he
will be apt to cooperate with
the teacher. Choose a specific
situation and explain the rules
of conduct in advance.
For example: If you are
planning a trip, set down rules
for it. Explain why they are
necessary. Explain that every
one can have more fun and
take more trips if they CO.
operate.
This way he knows exactly
what is expected of him and
you can aid him in following
the rules with kind firmneSs.

A Board of Zoning Adjust

In backing the coming board,
the Appellate Court reversed
the District Court which had
ruled in favor of the lawyer,
King David, Of 1916 Eleventh

The zoning board, in denying
Mr.. David's request to set up a

relief cannot be granted with
out substantial detriment to
the. public good and without
substantially impairing the in
tent purpose and integrity of
the zone plan. :"
Mr.. David then asked the
District Court to enjoin the
coming board ruling, claiming
it was arbitrary and capri
cious."
He claimed that he had spent
$4,000 in fixing up the property
and that unless he could main
tain law offices there he would
be bankrupt" and "out of
business"

Mr.. David, whereupon the
coming board appealed.

Ike to ask him." said Mr..

clined."
sMr. Small spoke with two OF

Billed as a "clean sweep"
rally, the Republican broom
got pretty damp and the meet
ing had to be moved to an au-

orator said his pipes might get

But about 800 crowded the

dates enthusiastically as they
promised to throw the Demo
Gratis out of the Statehouse,
