FOR BETTER SPELLING
Hartford, Conn. (U.R Trin
ity college has a special course
to teach students how to spell.
Acting President Arthur B.
Hughes reported that elementary
schools aren't teaching spelling
adequately because pupils learn
to read words as a whole, instead
of by syllables. He said, "It
makes fast readers but horrible
spellers."
Rearing of 39 Youngsters
Simple Task, Mother Says
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Rear-1 Bureau, Inc., for a boy to re-
ing 39 youngsters was a snap.
What hurtA said the motherly
looking woman, was that once
there were no children around
for two weeks.
"It was so quiet, we almost
went crazy," Mrs. J, L. Craig
said.
Mr, and Mrs. Craig have help
ed raise 39 youngsters, 15 of
them their own, during their 17
years of married life.
They've loved every minute of
It.
The couple, who describe
themselves as "just plain folks,"
got their start taking care of
children from disrupted homes
when Mrs. Craig's eldest son
came home from service and got
married.
"When he got married, it
seemed like my children were
leaving home for the first time,"
she said. "I just couldn't stand
it."
Mrs. Craig asked Children's

place her son,
"They came out and talked to
my boy and gave me a child just
like my son a blond-headed
little boy."
Mrs. Craig found out that the
little boy had a brother. She
didn't want to separate them, so
she took both children. It was
only a few days later that the
bureau told her they had two
sisters.
"They begged me to take the
girls."
Mr. and Mrs. Craig have been
taking care of children from the
bureau for five years. The young
sters have ranged in age from
five days to 17 years old.
Its only a temporary home
for the youngsters though and
they're returned to their parents
when the homes are mended.
We feel bad when they go,
but we try to hide our feelings,"
Mrs. Craig said. "We're happy
to -know that they're being re
united with their own people."
Mrs. Craig said her husband
got so attached to the first two
boys and their sisters that "it
hurt worse for him than it did
for me when they were re
turned to their parents.
Formula Simple
Her formula for raising chil
dren is simple.
"Give thein plenty to eat and
plenty of loving, ' she said.
Mrs, Craig said a child re
quires more than the ordinary
amount of love when' it comes
from a broken home.
She cares for the youngsters
Just as though they were her
own, correcting them when nec
essary, but never trying to take
them away from the parents.
"We never try to steal their
love," she said. "We try to teach
them to love their parents."
The couple, who have six chil
dren with them now, said they're
all fine youngsters.
"They're normal -and healthy.
They argue back and forth, give
each other black eyes and are
always ready to demand candy
and cookies."
