Parents Must Be Teachers According to NEA Booklet By RICHARD KINSMAN United Press International Washington - HJPD - Parents must continue to be teachers even attcr their children enter school. So says a new handbook, "How To Help Your Child Learn," which offers tips on things parents can do to help elementary school children in the three R's and other studies. The book, is published by the Department of Elementary Principals and the National School Public Relations As sociation, both branches of the National Education Associa tion Here are some excerpts: Reading - Start a family reading hour. Choose a "reading-out-loud" book aimed at the middle children -the older ones will reach down a little, the younger ones will reach uo to understand. Let each child have a place to keep his books, even if it only one shelf. A book in hand should always be respected Don't call a child away from his reading just because you've thought up a job for him. Handwriting - Give him op portuhities to use this skill at home with handwritten thank- you notes, invitations to his friends to visit, letters to friends and relatives, his own greeting cards and valentines to address. Arithmetic-Numbers games are easy to arrange. Children like to put new-found know! edge to immediate use. En courage your child to double- check your grocery tape to see that it adds correctly, nave him help Dad measure wood for the picnic table in the patio, let him keep mileage and gas records on an auto mobile trip. Science - Get into "outer space," if It is a child's current enthusiasm. Buy an inexpen sive telescope and watch the stars with him. Help him dec orate his room with charts of the solar system. Encourage him to watch, and discuss with him, some of the science pro grams appearing on television. Spelling - Give him his own art that many in that country I ed his position and accepted spena years studying toDeaoici one in new York.

Be firm in eliminat ing some of the distractions that interfere with getting homework done - including TV and small sisters. 1 Horse Show Winners A number of Medford horse owners won ribbons at the recent Del Norte county fair held in Crescent City, Calif.

Miss Gail will do graduate work in the Slovak languages. Miss Gail, an honor Brad uate in the Far East depart ment, University of Washing ton, at Seattle, studied the past year as a Rotary fellow from Oregon at the National School of Living Oriental Language in Paris, France. This school Is considered one of the world's best fdr study of the Russian language While in Europe she also traveled in France, Italy, Hol land, Russia, Poland, Czecho slavakia, and England. The student traveler was invited to speak for the morn ing worship service at Gold Hill Community Methodist church August 28. Her topic was "My observations of Christianity during a year of study abroad." She pointed out that these observations were made by her as a student, and not as an authority, while she was in those countries. Miss Gail said that the Christian unity movement is more advanced In France than in America. Foreign Catholics are inter ested in the exchange of ideas with other faiths. ' She observed that although Protestants are in the minor ity in France, they are more faithful Christians than the Catholics. She compared this to our country. Catholics here are in the minority but are more serious about their religion than Protestants, she believes. As an example of strong Christian faith in France, she told of the Catholic' Youth Pilgrimage held last May at Chartes, France. Ten thous and students marched on foot, some of them sleeping in barns along the way, a dis tance of nearly 40 miles from Paris to attend. She said this Impressed her because we never see anything like this In the United States. Another example of Chris tian faith was Christian Unity week when ideas were ex changed among the Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox followers in France. She commented that the Catholic religion is strong in roiand. The Poles go to mass to show their independence. Christianity has not disap peared in Czechoslovakia, she added, saying "it is very much alive." Christian activity seemed limited in Russia. Most of the old people there are Chris tians, worshipping in the tra ditional Orthodox services. But the younger people in Russia are not interested In Christianity, she said. Miss Gail concluded her ten minute talk with an unan swered question for her lis teners to think about, "What can we do In America to help people feel less Isolated?" She suggested that ' we should keep ourselves informed and do what we can to make other people feel less Isolated. The Rev. O. L. Kendal, pas tor of the church urged the congregation to encour age other young people in the local church to be alert to ob serve Christianity about them wherever they go as Miss Gall does. A reception honoring Miss Gail was held In the fellow ship room at the church im mediately after the worship hour. Women of the Woman's Society of the church were hostesses for the occasion. Mrs. Samuel Jones presided at the punch bowl and Mrs. B. C. Hoffman poured coffee. An arrangement of late sum mer flowers in a crystal bowl centered the lace - covered table. While in southern Oregon Miss Gail also visited her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Wilson, 7 Chestnut street, Medford. The Wilsons celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary August 31, and the Gails spent -the evening with the couple, serving an anniversary cake.
