Almo-t 1.000 school children
in the St. Louis. Mo., language
arts center were looked over
hecaj" they were unable to
read. They weren't all dumb.
On 'the contrary about 69 per
cent had normal or superior in
telligence. About 33 per cent,
however, had a physical hand
icap. Like poor eyesicht and af
fected hearing.
Things like that can be cor
rected. Our educators, can do
this. But a lot of learning can
be done early at home. Like
teaching the youngsters the
alphabet. How else can they read
the dictionarv?

Ma- h v.-e have a rule of
thinoh '::.:t i.sn't according to
st; -rhuos In: when our young
lady ask us how to spell a word
we tell h ; to "look it up." Often
ther,- i- a .-a.-.;y remark like "So
you oon't know how to sDell it."
We hi t a penny. Parents can lose
a lot of pennies that way. But
the c.irl result is that if she looks

The old method was to make
a kid a choice between putting
his n"-e in the corner or running
to the blackboard to write down
"100 limes" seme word he has
misspelled. All the poor gal or
boy riots is copy without think
ing, good.
Another tiling the experts
po-.ut r,:it i ; that parents can help '.
a lot v;y pronouncing words cor- j

grammar.
As one oidtimer working out
of a red school house once put
it.

R. P. L. I want my family
in my religion.
Mrs. R. P. L. This is just his
pretext.
I
R. P. L. I am a middle
aged man and have had a com
plete change of heart about re
ligion that seems to be destroy
ing my family life.
When I married I made the
terrible mistake of agreeing to
raise our children in my wife's
religion. I even promised that I
would become a convert, but I
somehow avoided doing this. At
the time, I had no strong reli
gious feelings, but I was so
strongly attracted to my wife
thst I felt that anything asso
ciated with her must be good for
me.
Now I am feeling an increas
ingly strong tug toward the re
ligion in which my parents
raised me, and I find it madden
ing to think that my children are
growing up in a hostile religion.
I never realized that my re
ligion could become vitally im
portant to me, but this has hap
pened and I find that I feel re
vulsion toward my wife on ac
count of our religious differ
ences. Unless she agrees to come
my way in this matter. I cannot
continue to feel anything but
estrangement.
Mr. R. P. L I would do any
thing to please my husband, ex
cept the thing he demands
that I be faithless to my religion.
I can no more turn the children
over to a faith that is strange to
me than I could turn them over
to a strange family or a strange
countrv.
My husband never attached
any value to his religion or ever
found any fault with mine until
his affections began to stray. I
think this line is just a cover-up
on his part for running away
from his family obligations.
The Council The wife ques
tions the husband's sincerity, and
so do we.
It is understandable that he
should come to feel the tug of a
childhood faith, and that this
should become very strong. But
it is to be doubted whether re
ligion is the only or even the
main influence that is alienating
him from his wife and tempting
him to run out on his family.
He admits that he placed no
value on his religion when he
was attracted by physical love,
and he admits that he promised
to convert and then "somehow''
evaded the fulfillment of that
promise.
Under those circumstances, if
he were now torn by a true re
turn to religion, he would cer
tainly be more understanding of
his wife's position than he ap
pears to be.
We are quite certain that if he
were to rely on the guidance of
a clergyman experienced in such
problems, he would approach
his family with far moro under-
. standing, patience and considera
i lion. We do not suggest that a
man snnuld oeny his religious
voices for the sake of conveni
i er.ee. but it is hardly necessary to
I be as deliberately brutal as this
man appears to have been,
j We do suspect, therefore, that
' this man is mislabelling his moti
vation, lie should not'blame his
weaknesses or waverings or bore
dom on religion. His story sounds
; like just a pretext, but if this is
I due to the fact that he has
! stated his case nonrlv and if he
still feels that the problem is es
sentially religious, then he
should seek guidance from one
who is richly exoerienced in surh
problems, a clergyman.
