MASON ON EDUCATION
Pep Talk Urged
For Silent Pupil
BY LESLIE J. MASON, Ed.D.

CELEBRATED class report card from
a regular students report card.
Shouldn't the children in ac-
celerated classes get extra rec
ognition for the extra work
they do?-L. H., Cincinnati.
The grade the child receives
should indicate his achievement
in the course, not the amount
of work he has done.
Accelerated classes are formed
so that better students can
learn more English or mathe-
matics and not be held back
by slower class members.
Report cards should make
clear the type of accomplish
ment the children have made.

Dear DR.. Mason:
My two granddaughters at
tended a country school last
year. They read many books
both at school and at home.
Their present schoolwork is too
easy for them. They were not
allowed to skip a grade be-
cause of their age.
Do you think these children
should be kept back on ac-
count of age? Will 1t injure
them to keep going over ma
terials which they already
know? - Mrs. C. D., Cresco,
Iowa.
If the children are kept busy
at home reading and learning
interesting things, the repeti-
tiOn in school may not hurt
them.
Whether a child should skip
a grade depends on many
things, such as health and
emotional and social security.
My advice would be to trust
the school principals judge
ment in the matter. r

with Wheeling. The other steel
companies obviously were going to
await the presidential reaction
before making any moves.
Forty hours later, after he had
postponed three flights to Palm
Beach, the President spoke out.
This time he did not have a clear
target to shoot at. The big steel
companies we're waiting it out.
II Mr.. Kennedy ignored Wheel
ing's move, they would undoubt-

Mr.. Kennedy neither ignored
Wheeling nor did he denounce
its action. In fact, his statement
was rather ambiguous, perhaps
Intentionally. providing him with
q certain flexibility for action as
the situation develops.
The President said he opposed
a general across board in

as he had last year. He again list

inflationary price, wage spiral; 1t

general stability and steel price
stability and are characteristic Of
any healthy economy"
Rightly or wrongly this was
widely interpreted to mean that
the President. though he might
not welcome price rises, would
not oppose selective increases for
steel products. Stock market in
vestors certainly read 1t that way.
The market bounded upward as
soon as the Presidents words
were made public.
Now, the question is: What will
the big steel companies do? VIII
they be bold or cautious2 The
chances are that we will not have
to wait long to find out. United
States Steel said 1t would have
no statement until after Easter"
1t may show its hand tomorrow.
The question is almost surely
not whether the big companies
will raise prices. but rather how
"selective" they will be. Actually,
Wheeling was not selective. It
hiked prices on most OF It's prod
ucts. But 1t only manufactures

steel products made In the United

States and they happen to be in
good demand.
OF course, II the other COM
panies decide not to raise their
prices, Wheeling will hardly be
able to keep its increases because
of the competition.
What probably initiates against
any across the board rise as
much as presidential displeasure
are the economic facts Of life.
Steel production currently Is well
below capacity even though gains
In the last month have been good
because of high automobile pro-
duction and buying as a hedge
against a possible strike In the
industry. Also, there is heavy
competition from foreign COM
panies and from domestic pro-
ducers Of aluminium and other
alternative materials.
There Is considerable feeling in
Washington - and probably In
Pittsburgh and New York-that
the President is anxious TO avert
a crunch with the steel industry
and, therefore. will be more under
standing Of their position this time.
There is no doubt that some

The Alabama flyers were hired
by a man who identified himself
as Alex E. Carlson of the Double
Check Corp, Of 1045 Curtis park
way, Miami Springs, Fla.
Double Chek was formed May
IL, 1859, by Mr.. Carlson with a
capital of $500 to engage In q
wide variety of business activities.
After the invasion MIR. Carlson
said he was simply acting as an
employment agency for an I'M

Germ.
While the United States pilots
were taking their Cuban coun-
terparts in tow, the infantry was
being trained under the overall
direction of a man identified by

Just when the invasion scheme
was Matched first is not yet clear,
but it apparently began germi-

Castro Knew 1t Was Coming

This fact goes to the heart of

how.

the preliminaries began.
On April 2, bombs exploded in
