Time Remains To Correct Education Problems of Child
By DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education BpaclalUt
Now is the time to evalu
ate your child's progress in
school. There is still sufficient
time to correct problems. Tu
toring may be helpful if the
proper situation exists.
Difficulties in adjustment
which are common in Septem
ber should not continue now.
Any problems which are pres
ent should bo given careful
consideration.
Analyze the problems and
their causes. You can obtain
assistance at your school.
Your child's teachers can de
scribe the problems in detail.
A check for the possible
causes is important. This can
be done in cooperation with
the school. Perhaps, you will
want to seek outside advice
from your family doctor or

otbvr specialist. Remember
that physical eyes, ears, gen
eral health, etc., and emo
tional problems interfere with
a child's ability to learn.
Tutoring can be more suc
cessful if specific difficulties
which block learning are cor
rccted. In some cases the
tutoring will be helpful in
easing emotional problems,
while in other cases it may
be harmful.
Your decision to begin tu
toring should be a joint one
between you, the school, other
specialists, and the child. The
child's attitude must be con
sidered. If he objects, you
should not begin tutoring urv
til he has been convinced ot
the value.
Once a decision for tutor
ing has been made, chances
for success will be highly de
pendent upon the choice of
an instructor. This should be
based upon the type of prob
lem and causes. Should the
teacher be male or female?
There could be a good ef
fect from a mole in the fam
ily in which the father is not
home very often.
Should the tutor be a regu
lar teacher or a remedial spe
cialist? This really depends
upon the individual and the
child's problem. Look for
someone who is familiar with
the particular difficulty. The
tutor should have a warm
friendly personality. The re
lationship with the child must
be enthusiastic, but relaxed,
encouraging, and properly
structured. There should be
feeling of progress. Al
though major results may be
slow, the child needs to see
some early success.
Careful thought should be
given to the length and num
ber of sessions. Three quarters
to one hour appears to be an
appropriate time. A longer
period may be too tiresome
while a shorter period is not
sufficient to accomplish any
real instruction in the aca
demic subjects.
The number of times per
week depends upon the type
of problem and the child's
total schedule. In most cases,
the child has many other re
sponsibilities. He needs time
for regular school work and
relaxation. This matter should
be discussed with the tutor
and the student. The sessions
should be close enough so that
there is continuity in the in
struction. Tutoring generally serves
a particular need. Do not con
tinue it beyond this point.
You do not want it to become
a "crutch." Perhaps it should
be dropped gradually so that
the child maintains his new
confidence.
You should recognize that
tutoring is not the answer for
all academic problems. It can
be valuable u tne aimospnere
anri conditions are Droocr
Base your decision upon the
problems and causes. Look for
answers. Do not make a hasty
decision without careful
searching.
Forestry Program
Lauded in Report
Salem OJPD The pilot sum
mer camp program of the
State Board of Forestry left
participants "with a healthier
attitude toward society and
life in general,"- State Fores
ter Dwight L. Phlpps said
Wednesday.
The comments were includ
ed in the forestry board's bi
ennial report.
The program was authoriz
ed by the 1961 legislature,
and 70 potential high school
dropouts participated in the
first two camp sessions.
The program cost the coun
ties $27,208, and the state
$39,680. The report also
noted: -
-1962 was the most favor
able fire year in the history
of northwest Oregon, with
only 8,441 acres burned, com
pared to 65,000 acres in lBbl.
-Reforestation efforts re
sulted in 26,139 acres being
seeded, and 13,573 acres
planted with seedlings.
-Pay for state foresters
should match U.S. govern
ment pay scales to retain
(rained personnel.
New Regulations on
Applications for
Small Tracts Noted
Portland Swindlers who
cheat elderly easterners out
of their savings with land
selling frauds in the West
will find it more difficult in
the future under terms of
new regulations announced
by Secretary of the Interior
Stewart L. Udall.
The bureau of land man
agement has called attention
to the changes which permit
automatic rejection of appli
cations for small tracks of
federal land unless the land
has been opened to applica
tion. The regulation removes
one of the major selling
points which illegitimate pro
moters have used to defraud
victims.
"Now that Congress has
turned the spotlight of pub
licity on a vicious racket in
private lands in the West we
hope the public will also
wake up to the tricks some
promoters are using to fool
the public about federal pub-

scribing the change as the
latest step taken over the
past 20 months to safeguard
applicants for public lands
Subcommittee on Aging
Chairman Pat McNamara's
special senate subcommittee
on aging is investigating
wide spread complaints of
quacks and crooks preying on
aged Americans. Charges of
mail order frauds in palming
off useless private land were
among the first accusations
aired by the inquiry.
"No federal land is in
volved in these cases," Udall
said. "But we want people to
be aware there are sharp
dealers who charge sizeable
fees for filing useless applica
tions for public land which
the victims don't have any
chance whatsoever of ob
taining." "The Interior Department's
bureau of land management
lias small tracts available for
sale from time to time in the
western public land states,"
Udall continued. "They are
parcels of up to five acres
suitable for residential busi
ness or community sites. Pro
moters with an eye out for a
fast buck have talked people
into paying them for filing
.applications for the land.
"Thousands of gullible peo
ple have thought they were
putting down payments on
the lands when in fact they
were only paying a promoter
to do what they can do free
for themselves or have the
government do for them free
or for practically nothing."
Use Sam Approach
Secretary Udall said un
scrupulous promoters use the
same approach in describing
federal land which they can
not sell as they use in describ
ing private land, claiming
that it has water and other
utilities, easy access and plots
for occupancy when the land
is usually raw desert miles
from water and lacking in de
velopments that would make
it habitable.
The new order authorized
the department's bureau of
land management to reject
small tract. applications if the
land has not already been
found to be valuable for such
disposal, Udall explained.
Even if the land hs been
so classified it will normally
be sold at public auction so
there will be no reason to filp
an application, he said.
