The result: he is quicker lo learn. Everett W. Olson, director of communications for fhe Webcor Co., points out that the tape re corder Is providing Important aid to instruction in all age groups. Children In kindergarten are en chanted with the tape-recorded versions of their rhythm band con certs and pupje; rhowr. In the latter case, the recorded permits them to concentrate on using their hands during a performance, as all of the voices needed can be easily pre-recorded. Elementary school classes often use the machine for correcting bad oral reading habits. Tapes are made at an early session and saved for the end of the school year. When compared with the final efforts, they serve to give the children real evidence of nrocrcss. In big cities, such as Chicago hundreds of tape recorders are in daily use at grammar and high srhnnls Thpir use range from )l8vuscl:s for pbrcntcs to help CHOOSE STURDY BEDDING. ..

The student of today has dis covered the wealth of knowledge available In sound itself. Auto shop classes, for instance, have tuned in on cars in action to learn to diagnose engine and parts faults from characteristic sounds. Home economics classes find in structive value in recorded demon strations of professionals. Design and : sewing groups use taped introductions for. their fashion shows. High school, drama clubs prerecord the sound effects to be used in their yearly plays. History classes today and in years to come will "hear" mo mentous occasions as well as read about them as tape libraries in schools record events that are broadcast. State libraries, too, have been created in many states to loan Important taped informa tion to any school which requests it. All In all, the recorder's many uses seem to be limited only by the teacher's Imagination. In fact, says expert Olson, it is now possi ble to predict that some day chil dren will report to school with prerecorded homework and bring home audible "report cards" with teachers' comments to parents.
