At that age, a language can be a game to children. Later, he becomes self conscious and loses his ease of imitation. Germaine Bree, newly ap pointed chairman of the French Department, New York University, who has taught French since 1936, says Americans learn their lan guages when they are too old and are too self-conscious about foreign accents and grammar. The best way to study a language, she says, is to speak and hear it continu ously. Why learn a foreign lan guage? Professor Bree states, "It's a liberalizing process for the mind. It helps you under stand and be comfortable with the cultures of your own and other countries." Avery, cafeteria manager; and bus drivers Walter Bolz, G. G. Skinner, Ernest Bolz, Al Fen ton, Harold Baldwin and Mar vin Lumley. Two additional grade school rooms will be ready for open ing day, the superintendent said. These are being financed on a "pay as you go" basis. Repainting and redecorating at both schools, remodeling of the high school home-economics department, a new bus shelter, additional lawn, road and sidewalks and general grounds improvement were all made during the summer, James said. . . Bags and Brief Cases Are Available for Youngsters This coming back-to-school season, there will be a large selection of school bags and brief cases to choose from. For little girls, fashionable materials play a big part. Novelty plaids, prints and trims vie with color in nylon, leather, or treated fabrics. Favorite cartoon characters are used as decoration. Small boys like school bags which resemble Dad's brief case, or they want bags of heavy-duty fabrics in blue or Leisure Leads To School With more leisure time on hand, more and more Amer icans are more and more edu cation minded. Adults, as well as youngsters, join the "back-to-school" movement in in creasing numbers every year. Evening classes, extension courses, or regular college en rollments are filled with busi ness executives, career girls, housewives and young men who want to further their ca reers by becoming better in formed, about particular sub jects, to become proficient in some special skill or hobby, or to earn credit toward a de gree. Many adults are taking courses to secure a belated high school diploma. Foreign born citizens are avid school students, learning pointers on citizenship and government of their new chosen country, as well as learning how to speak and write better English. As the impetus for foreign travel grows, many adults en roll in language courses, ei ther to brush up on long-forgotten "high-school French," etc., or to learn one for a land they hope to visit soon. Teachers, too, fill the class rooms, either to improve their value as instructors, or to pile up -enough points for a covet ed master's or doctor's degree. brown with contrasting han dles and-piping. Brief Cases Older students want brief cases in which they can carry folders and papers. There is a wide selection available in many styles, colors and mater ials. The sizes are adapted to the age of the boy or girl. Many bags will feature out side lunch pockets to avoid crowding of food with books and papers. Very important in the purchase of a school bag is its length of service. The new bags are re-in-forced where stitching re ceives most wear, metal bound at corners, or equipped with "button feet" for young sters who put bags on floors or hard cement. Children to age of ten or twelve should have school bags that properly balance book weights. Many school bags are available now that have good, firm handles, per manently shaped bottoms for correct packing, or detach able shoulder straps for ease of handling. Posture Training Is Important Everyone agrees that the basis of good looks is good posture. Good posture also un questionably contributes to good health and well being. The loveliest of clothes will not look good if their wearer is handicapped with posture problems. , Children should be taught to stand up straight, to stretch tall every day, and to do a few simple exercises daily to im prove their posture. Walking with head up and spine straight ' is taught by physical educators and physi cians for maintaining nerve health and body health. Early training in posture can pay off in health benefits in 'adult years County Officials Attend Conference In San Francisco Ten representatives from Jackson county, eight of them from Medford, attended the 13th annual meeting of the American School Food Serv ice association in San Fran cisco recently.
