their hearing troubles back to
curly school days.
Teachers are to receive copies
of the reports of their children
and will be asked to observe
them in the school room nnd to
report on their progress In
school. Dr. Gardner reports that
a number of children need spe
cial seating In the school room
because of severe hearing defect.

weak subjects and still others
need Up rending In order to
better understand assignments

have hearing losses greater than
many pupils In the deaf school.

Babies Can
Teach You
How to Talk
By ALICE HART
NEA Service Staff Writer
Infants learn to talk by lis
tening, and so can you, much
mora successfully. For the in
fant Just Imitates without dis
crimination; but you can listen
critically and copy selectively.
It Is generally agreed that
your natural voice tono is your
best one. That tono is clear.
Whon you simper or whine, you
may be repeating a trick that
got you your own way in child
hood, and one you learned from
someone around you. A great
many people get by with such
baby tricks all their lives, but
no one else enjoys them, and
generally you don't either,
really.
If you have allowed your jaw
and throat to become tense, re
lax them. Sometimes this can
be accomplished by a simple
exercise. Just open mouth wide
and close it slowly. Then yawn.
Do this several times. It opens
the throat, relaxes tongue and
Jaw, and therefore eliminates
nasal tones. . ,
RELAX; THEN
8TART TO TALK
The finest voice and speech
teacher agree that mastering
tho art of critical listening 'i
the first step toward acquiring
a fine speaking voice. As one
put it, "The ear is three-quarters
the teacher."
Listen always with sympa
thetic interest in what Is being
said. Thl will help you to re
lax and to concentrate on what
you are about to say. A really
relaxed person possesses two
great asset for beautiful speech
There are clarity of tone and
enunciation; and that vividness
of expression which comes from
concentration on the subject,
instead of on the means of mak
ing a good impression with talk.

Doctor Says Forces
In Hawaii Strong
RIVERSIDE Calif., Dec. UUP)
Dr. N. B. Beck of the University
of Hawaii told the Institute of
World Affair today that Ameri
can forces in and around Hawaii
are so strong that even the dam
age claimed by the Japanese in
last Sunday's attack could not
be a serious blow.
"When we consider the total
strength of our forces," Dr. Beck
said, "it is not serious to have
11 or so ships damaged, accord
ing to the Japanese claims, or
even the loss of 200 planes a
claimed, in comparison to the
number of reserve.
"We have Schofield barracks,
the largest army encampment of
any area in the United States,
and Honolulu has forts well
equipped with heavy artillery.
In practice, these weapons have
repeatedly made direct hits on
small targets far beyond their
vision."

FIGHTING SOLDIERS
Br CLARK LEE
MANILA, Dec. 11 UP) One
day of war at Manila has made
tough, determined soldiers out
of a good many American young
ster who only Tuesday were
Just kid in soldiers' uniforms.
I spent the night with a group
of them on anti-aircraft duty
guarding Manila bay. Their de
tachment shot down the first
Japanese plane felled by antl
aircraft fire In the Clark field
battle and later downed four
others, plus one badly hit and
probably unable to return to its
carrier.
They were dog-tired from day
long, nightlong duty but quickly
sprang to man their guns when
we heard the sound of Japanese
bomber approaching at 2:23
thi morning In a softly moonlit
sky. They withheld their fire
because they did not sight the
planes.
In the drawling accent of a
southwestern state they said:
"Yeiterday we d let fly any
where at the sky."
Tuesday they were so green
that when 84 Japanese .bombers
came over at 10,000 feet with
the sunlight painting their sil
vered wings they remarked to
one another: "My, ain't they
puny?"
A few minutes later they sud
denly became soldiers of kids.
They didn't hit any of the heavy
multi-colored raiders, but they
did answer to their own satis
faction the question of whether
the Japanese can fly airplanes
ana Domb accurately.
"Sure, they can bomb," a
sergeant said. "If they can't hit
a fish in a barrel from 10,000
feet they can come close to It."
While the last bomb were still
exploding Japanese fighter
planes, obviously from carriers,
dived the strafed planes on the
ground and the gun position as
well. The guns went Into action,
getting "five for sure and prob
ably one more." Two American
pursuit planes pitched into the
battle and downed one each.
Death of Guard

NEWPORT, Dec. 11 (P) A
