D. to -netting children to practice the piano when school is out can be a tough job. But an educator at the Univer sity of North Dakota had no trou ble finding youngsters to "play" the typewriter this summer in an experiment in learning. Dr. John L. Rowe, chairman of the business education department, organized the kiddie typing class to test his suspicion that handwrit ing is often a block to education in a young child. Unnecessary Barrier "The average fourth grader can write by hand about 12 words a minute, he explains. "By the end of our experiment, we expect to have the youngsters typing up ward of 25 to 30 words a minute. The progress in learning abil ity and thought expression of the typing students will be tested against a group of non-typing chil dren at the end of the eight - week course. Rowe mainlans that the entire' learning process can be aided if a child learns to type early and is able to transcribe his thoughts without mechanical difficulty. "It is not generally realized that hand writing is a dilfirult mechanical task," he points out. Cross-Section The 28 children taking the typ ing course were chosen from jtmong hundreds who applied. The group represents a typical cross section of 8 to 10-year-olds. Rowe, a pianist, noted that chil dren of 6 are able to learn to play the piano. Since roughly the same mechanical and mental abili ties are needed for typing, he sees no reason why they cannot also learn that skill. The idea for experiment has been in Rowe's mind for some time, but was delayed until a portable electric typewriter be came available. A portable was necessary because it is suited to the child's smallor hand, and elec tric, because less muscular effort is needed. The manufacturer of the ma chine made the experiment pos sible by providing the machines used in the course and a grant to support it. Rowe conducted the first course in electric typewriting at teachers collego, Columbia Univer sity, and has authored and co-authored some 12 typewriting text hooks, widely used in secondary , schools and colleges, Tenmile School Activities Set A new ten gallon aquarium with an electric generator has been pur chased for the Tenmile grade school. The aquarium, will be stocked wlih fish and snails and be kept in the sixth grade room. Approxi mately ltiu pupils are expected to enroll in the school Sept. 2, Mrs. Waller Coats, News Review cor respondent, reports. The enroll ment will be about the same as last year.

At Unit time new officers will be elected and plans made for the coming school year.
