DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: My husband
is q plumber. For the last few
months the widow lady next
door has been calling him
and asking him to come over
and fix her plumbing. She
lives in a very old house so
I can understand how she
would need frequent repairs.
but he's been going about
once a week. He has sent her
bills for work by the hour
and she's been good about
paying them. My neighbor on
the other side told me that
this same widow called her
husband to come over and lay
some new linoleum, and when
he got there he said her old
linoleum was as good as new.
! am wondering If I should
let my husband go over there
any more. / suppose she is
lonesome, but that's not my
fault.
WONDERING.
II your husband Is called
by this neighbOr again, 30
with him. II there is any
monkey business going on,
this will throw the monkey
wrench in the deal.

DEAR ABBY: My husband
says / am breaking my mar

go to see my relatives, or our

all others" mean "sweethearts

1t mean relatives and your

CONFUSED.
"FOrsaking all others"
means that a wife's first OBJ

FAMOUS FABLES

PRICE: In 1914, H. L.
Mencken became co-editor Of
THE Smart Set" magazine,
which was virtually bank
rupt. Despite the lack of
funds. he was determined to
get the top authors of the
period to write for the pub
lcation.
The first author he tried to
persuade was Joseph Conrad,
who was then at the peak of
his popularity. He wrote to
Conrad. explained his finan-
cial difficulties and asked
him to contribute.
After a few weeks, he re-
ceived a reply from Conrad's
agent. Conrad was willing to
contribute and was ready to
do so at q special price 5000.
Staggered, Mencken wrote
back:

Catty people wait for you to
make the first move. They
are the counter-punchers in
human relations.
I am not placing any
blame; only making a dis
tinction. Catty people can't
help being like that: They
are either shy or born to be
snobs.
Now, why all this talk
about dogs and cats? Because
I want to narrow 1t down to
doctors. We. too, are either
doggy or catty. Either we wag
our tails in friendliness as
we go about our work or we
arch our back in standoff-
ishness.
For example:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: We
have a doctor who has a great
reputation. He is supposed to
be good in both diagnosis
and in treatment. But al
though my husband and I
have been going to him for
over two years, we can't seem
to get used to him. He never
smiles, never is friendly,
never unbends. When we
leave his office we feel we
might as well have been

would you do?-Mrs. T.
I'D SETTLE for one with
slightly less reputation; I'd
choose an outgoing, doggy
doctor.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: For

I call the human vultures;

their promises to cure her.

physicians couldn't help and
I couldn't see her suffer. I

Southern California
Families move from south
to north, from east to west,
from cities to suburbs. And
newcomers in a city often
move several times before
getting situated permanently.
AS a result, Of course,
children are almost contin-
ually changing schools.
One California junior high
school principal reports a IS
per cent turnover in his
school population after the
first month. Some children
attend as many as eight diff
ferent schools in one year.
This is q problem that I'M
til the last decade never
faced us In such enormity.
But now we are compelled to
face up to methods of deal
ing with It.
Properly handled, children
can benefit from changing
schools. They can learn early
the adaptability to change
that recurs in our modern
world. AS their horizons
broaden, their interests grow.
And they have more chances
to make new friends.
Grade System Unwieldy

school organization in which
children move from grade to
grade almost automatically,

transfers are apt to prove diff
ficult.
Here Is a typical example.
Joe's parents moved halfway
across the country. Joe's old
school record indicated &C"
work In the fifth grade, so
he was placed in the fifth
grade.
Actually Joe had been doing
average work In a low read
ing group. But 1t took his
new teacher several days to
discover that he read at the
third grade, not fifth grade,
level. Finally Joe was placed
In proper groups according
to his performance In read
ing and arithmetic. But those
first days were difficult for
both Joe and his teacher.
"a system Of more complete
records could have smoothed
Joe's transfer.
Detroit is one city where
they are trying to develop
more disable pupil records.
These records, which show
progress or lack Of 1t in each
Of the fundamentals, should
follow each student from
school to school.
Ungraded Schools Tried
But even with adequate
records. the present organiza-
ton by grades presents prob
lens for the new students
and their teachers. Recognize
ing how prevalent school
transfers are today, schools
should base their organiza-
ton more heavily upon per-
Torrance.
One development to meet
this problem is the estab-
lishment Of ungraded ele-
mentary schools in several
cities. In them, from Kinder
garten through second grade,
each child works in a group
at his own level Of develop
ment IN each skill.

proved successful. There, five
levels are offered in each

a high group in one subject,
and.a low group in another.
He can progress from one
group to another through i'm

However, while awaiting
any reorganization Of schools,
parents should be alert to
the problem.
Your child's ability to learn
and adjust to a new situa-
ton depends largely upon his
skill in reading. authentic,

these are kept at least UP
