Nothing . takes the place of the' oxford for growing active boys.; But there's variety even in Lthe staple oxford these days. The, classic wing tip still sells to boys of all ages. . But again junior fashions ape grown-ups in the ' addition of plain toes, straight tips, U vamps and moccasin types. There are also some good-looking school shoes with buckled monk strap treatments.,.,- ; --.v- .-. w : .v- Smooth leathers, of. course. because! they stand up and take a nice nine (if the boy owns a shoe shine set and can be per suaded to use it). Shades of brown, including the Burgundy color popular in men's shoes are the favorites. Leather Solid In addition to the all-leather shoe, leather with mesh promises to appeal to small boys as it does to their dads. In some places blue suede is being featured as an alternate to a black shoe. Most of these shoes are made with leather soles, but there is an increasing interest in foam crepe soles in white or color. Boys like them, and if their taste is con sulted are apt to insist on this feature. Saddle oxfords, of course, go on forever, and the basic com bination of tan or blue with white continue to be the first choice. Again copying dad, youngsters who are style conscious are going for.the gored or elastlcized lace- less shoes. Some boys wore them last year. More boys will want them this year. ' . Both -brown and blue smooth leathers are in the shops in these slip-on' shoes for early spring school wear, (also for best if you wish). . ? ' . , ' Side Zipper Good ii . And they may be had in a choke of leather, composition or foam crepe soles.i The side zipper is good on the laceless shoe because it's, easy on, easy-off for the boy in a hurry. The conventional loafer Is basic but the tassel moccasin is more appealing' to many youth ful wearers. ' ', H-t. In addition to leather i shoes there will; be fabric oxfords this spring, made of sturdy material also, sometimes leather trimmed and lacedj with the conventional blue, tan and brown the leading colors. White cushion soles are favorites With these. i; For the! younger boy, the play or school! sandal of interwoven strips may be either leather or fabric,' ... 5 1 'I .. i i i Tougher Courses Recommended NEW YORK UR-Deans of Colum bia University's Undergraduate College have decided that courses aren't tough enough. In their an nual report, the deans said about a fourth o students really get their teeth into subjects, but the others get a "gentlemanly grade" with out "undue mental exertion.' Recommended: suffer require ments that force the easy-going student "to perform at his opti mum capacity.

Smaller Feet Also to Look Mighty Pretty Small feet are going to look mighty pretty in their new spring slippers. Never have de signers taken such time and pains to give the new look to chil dren's dress-up shoes. j More and more they reflect the style points of grown-up fash ions, a' lighter look, lower cut vamps, delicate touches of deco ration, a wide variety of strap treatments. Black patent is the undoubted leader for the Easter Parade. From . tiny toddlers to smart teen-agers, patent is first choice. For the littlest ones, the classic black patent Mary Jane ankle strap can't be beat It just goes on forever. It fits, it's simple and suitable, it's the perfect shoe. If she's still in arms! her Mary Janes may be white or pas tel kidskin. . ' Grown-up Look f : For kindergartners, the Mary Jane takes on the new slightly more grown-up look with curved sides, lower cut vamp ' decorated with flat tailored bow. ; j " Bright red is another big hit with young wearers. They Jike it because it's gay. Their moth ers like it because.it goes with everything, and in polished leather it's long wearing and al ways renewed with a fresh shine.' : If she's big enough to wear a suit of grey flannel or navy woolen (and five-year-olds wear suits these days) shell adore a tailored ankle strap of red calfskin with cutout sides and rounded vamp ' decorated with, a smart scalloped design of per forations. Or a sabot strap, which is among the revivals in children's shoe fashions, very ef fective in red calf with wide curved strap piped and dotted with white. Gold sells for about $300 a pound. i - - - - s . : . - ' .' . . '. , : -i : ' I . -: " - .
