Modern Students Use Toys To Learn Science, Reading
A student dashing off to
class with a toy tucked under
his arm does not necessarily
mean that he is off to play.
he might be going to a
class on science, mathematics
or even reading. Toys going to
school these days is-another
effect of the age of science
and space travel on education.
For many years audio vis
ual models and three dimen
sional charts, used extensively
in the nation's school systems,
were primarily developed as
teaching aids, unlike the pres
ent school toys, which are
identical with those sold in
toy and hobby shops.
Naw Direction
This new direction in toys
is the result of manufacturers
recognizing the nation's crash
program in education and that
parents, interested in their
children's future were more
and more seeking toys that
taught while being enjoyed.
Teachers, from elementary
school to college, discovered
that many so-called play
things were invaluable in
sharpening a pupil's basic un
derstanding! n a variety of
subjects. They found, for in
stance, that a young geom
etry student could more quick
ly understand the theory of
geometric shapes by assem
bling a model car than by
trying to remember draw
ings in textbooks.
So important has this pro
gram become that the Na
tional Science Teachers asso
ciation has set up a group of
expert educators, headed by
Dr. H. Seymour Fowler, Penn
sylvania .State university, to
evaluate and recommend spe
cific toy products as teaching
aids.

She Explodes the
'Tone of Voice' Theory y
Besides being very interest
ing, the letter the lady wrote
contained some astute observa
tions. She wrote:
"Those who claim to know
all things say a dog responds
to a familiar sound; that is, to
any group of words that
sounds like. a command he is
accustomed to obey.
"As I . pondered these
thoughts I looked down at my
faithful friend, Prince, my
German shepherd, who was
sound asleep on the floor at
my feet. Old boy, I thought to
myself, I'm going to find out
if you are as smart as I think
you are or as dumb as most
folks say you are. Whatever I
find out I'll not love you less,
but for my own satisfaction
I'd like to know.
"One of the pastimes Prince
liked to do, best was to go for
a ride in the car. Always we
had said to him, "Prince, rin
you want to go in the car?"
This had an immediate effect
however sound asleep he hap
pened to be; he would jump
up, run to the door and when
it was opened for him he
would rush lo the car and wait
for the door to be opened."
Dash of Tar
"Remembering the tone of
voice I always used, I got out
of my chair, walked to the
kitchen door and instead of
saying, 'Prince, do you want
to go in the car?' I said,
'Clinch, do you savor a dash
of tar?' The dog awoke at the
sound of my voice, cocked his
head to one side and looked
at me as if I had my mouth
full of marbles.
"He didn't get up; he didn't
go to' the door. He hadn't
understood what I had said,
and I couldn't hlame him.
"I waited a little while ind
tried something different. He
would respond equally well
when we asked him 'wanna go
for a walk?' I changed this
one to, 'Monn, with a banana
fork.' Ml swear he looked
pityingly at me. with a sister-your-molor's
- missing expres
sion. He was hrsinning lo feel
sorry for me; his old friend,
becoming mentally deranged."
Ignored Her
"He made no attempt to go
to the door; in fact, he ignored
me and seemed to be a little
disgusted. My remark had
marie no sense and he knew
it. So I tried another favorite
that usually sent him into a
frenzy of happiness, "Here
comes daddy.' I said it differ
ently, however, and in the
same tone of voire 1 had al
ways used when my husband
was coming, 'Fearsome caddy,'
to me it sounded like here
conies daddy, hut Prince
wasn't the least bit fooled.
"Neither did he go to the
door to listen or the familiar
sound of the returning car; he
merely remained static; un
ruffled and seemingly con
fused by my stammering, or
tiie way I was goofing the
language "
"Every tune, before Irut
experiment, and ever since,
whenevrr I use different
words that sound the same.
Prince looks at me. as much
as to say, -you're talking more
latelv, but you are saving
IMS'."
According to the Toy Man
ufacturers association and the
Hobby Industry association,
leading companies in these in
dustries are. doing special re
search in the developing of
products with built-in educa
tional use, as well as fun.
One company, Revell, Inc.,
has spent more than a year
and many thousands of dollars
researching its new series of
electronics and meteorology
science kits.
A boy using its weather
forecast, lahnratnrv. for the
tun nt anlii,ing1in0 lirhalh,!
it will rain or shine, will be
absorbing certain essentials
of physics. He will become
familiar with the effect of
air pressures; by calculating
relative humidity and using
the temperature humidity in
dex he will understand slide
rule calculations.
Assembling and operating
the transistorized short wave
radio, made by the same com
pany, says Dr. Harvey Blair,
nationally known educator, he
will get a firmer grasp of the
fundamentals of electronics
than most textbooks provide,
or the typical electronics ex
perimental toys of several
years ago that were de
veloped solely for play.
Better Student
The boy able to hear Mos
cow, Paris or Saigon on the
radio that he himself built,
will become a better student
of geography, political
science, as well as the social
sciences. Included with these
kits are well illustrated, com
prehensive educational book
lets developed by authorities
in their field.
Schools also found an econ
omic advantage in this up
surge of teaching toys. Be
cause manufacturers produce
their items for high volume
sales, they became available
to schools at much lower
prices than are usual for es
pecially prepared educational
aids. And unlike textbooks,
which have to be different
for each grade and subject,
many of these so-called toys
serve a multitude of pur
poses. Comparative studies, indi
cating the better grades made
by students in schools using
this type of product has had
an impact on the national
level.

ture scientists, the IT. S.
