That's the prob lem being studied out by La-Ree Walker with the help of her teacher, Mrs. Stanley Woodruff. m r xi" .: .:.'-; STEPHANIE'S PROGRESS Stephanie Walker checks up on the "number facts" chart where her arithmetic progress is marked by shiny-headed tacks onother phase of early arithmetic training. i .1 . X ' ... : i A ;f ; 'RITHMETIC GETS MORE COMPLEX Mory Adkins has decided that it's in the Inter mediate grodes when arithmetic starts getting complicated, but she's up to what froc tions can offer. PASSING OF BABY DAYS' BRINGS NEW EDUCATION EXPERIENCE FOR KIDDIES Specialization first enters the education picture along about the fourth grade when youngsters ore well occus tomed to school ond its workings. By this time, every little school boy ond girl knows with swami-like insight that when the first leaf begins to turn, school is just a short jog away. Each school has its own particular curriculum and may vary from the general rule, but in most, there ore changes which make a distinct line of separation between the intermediate grades ond the "boby" days of school. In most of the larger, modern schools, instrumental music training begins for the first time on a limited bosis In about the fourth or fifth grades. At the same time, mora attention is given to physical education from a standpoint of organized sports with separate classes for boys and girls insteod of the mixed games which art typical of the play-time for younger students. Arithmetic outgrows the two-plus-two stage and be comes decimals, fractions and more complicated forms for young Einsteins to puzzle over. Generally, a first-grader has just one teacher for all his studies throughout the year, and this practice con tinues through obout the third grade. Frequently, it is in the fourth grade that the children get a different teacher perhaps for physical education, another for music, and a "regular" one who handles ihe academic side of things. Later, as the child progresses through the higher grades, this teacher specialization becomes more com mon, and he may have several teachers. The aim in the intermediate grades, however, is to keep the same teacher with a class at least ha'f the time, because that teacher has on opportunity to be around the child more ond con better understand any problems he might have in studies or behavior. This limited specialization continues in the larger schools until junior high, when it is emphasized more ond when the child is older and more capable of being "on his own" instead of being dependent on a particular teacher. The end of the grades marks a big jump for any school child with junior high coming up he begins to feel o new sense of self-reliance and independence ond becomes suddenly conscious of the importance of growing up. - JU l Seen In MADEMOISELLE J U i j I & fir- DISTINCTIVE APPAREL Phone 8222 901 Mai Soft-os-a-lamb 100 virgin wool fleece to envelop you in luxury.
