Try To Concentrate, Be Precise By LESLIE J. NASOM, Ed. D, with HARRY KARNS Now let's talk about solving PYouTrnind ts a wonderful thing. It will solve problems of surpris ing complexity, if you feed it the necessary facts and ideas and give it the chance to operate at its top efficiency. So few persons do. They are, satisfied with half measures, or. if dissatisfied, do not know how tn An taetter. Mental laziness is a pitfall to some students. They memorize a single process for solving a problem ana try 10 ap nlv it tn all nroblems. Such students don't get the ex act knowledge which is the toun rfiitton for anv real learning. The time usually comes when they do care and when they tiainfullv regret the wasted years. To be a good student you mustl develop the habit ot giving com- cient to know just enough to get the homework done. The Principle of Principles Many students in our class in algebra have said that the pro cess of solving a problem is clear enough when it is demonstrated in the classroom. But, just a few hours later at home, the same sort of problem is not simple but baffling. Why? The answer is that they under stand the solution of the specific problem, but they do not grasp the principles involved. They have failed to exert the energy to think the problem through in words. Since we are going to use this word "principle" often in the next dozen or so paragraphs, let's pause briefly and think about what a principle is If you know what two plus two is, you know the answer to a spe cific problem. If that is the only addition problem you can answer, Diet attention to the task. Your however, you haven't grasped the principle ui auuiuuu. 11 yuu kiiuw how to solve not only two plus Concentrate.

While there is some- stand principles. It la not sufffi-l thing different about all these problems of addition, there is I something fundamentally alike in the way the answer of eacn is obtained.

Think of the explanation as general directions which you can apply to any problem in long divi sion, not just this problem." Step by step we explained the principles of long division.

WORLD OF EXCITEMENT IS YOURS WALT DISNEY'S doors of a whole house of know- ledce. And the best way to hold tne orinciple in mind is to think in words. Pete was a junior at the uni versity. His major was math. He did all his homework easily, but his exam orades pushed him down to a "C" for the course. Actually, he grasped math pro cesses rather quickly. He was a potential math genius. As he nad said, getting the homework the work of one day on one particu lar kind of problem was easy. But on the exams, when the pro fessor threw a mixed group of new problems at him. he per formed like a fast ball hitter coming up against a pitcher who losses curves and sinkers. We suggested that when he pre pared for a test, he skim through materials covered recently and ask: 1. "What principles were used in the solution of these exer cises?" 2. "What problems may be solved through the use of these principles 3. What is the cue that would indicate that these principles should be recalled in working a problem 4. "How does this fit In with what I already know?" We suggested that when he pre pared for a test, he skim through materials covered recently and ask: 1. "What principles have been used to solve these problems?" 2. "How do I recognize the sit uation in which they may be used?" This deliberate, precise think ing about math, in place of the vague, hit-and-miss method he'd followed before, produced the A's" which Pete should have been making all along.

Under terms of the Reservation Termination Act, 525,700 acres of reservation will become national forest April 1, with the forest serv ice assuming management of the lands. Letters arc being mailed this week to all range users who held Bureau of Indian Affairs grazing permits on the range in 1960. The letters outline procedures to be followed in 1961. Applications for grazing permits will be re ceived by the district rangers at Klamalh Falls up to March 1, Permits will be approved and is sued on or near April I. Stock men w ho held permits in 1960 will receive approval for like numbers of livestock on the same range units in 1961. Fees will be $1.50 per animal month for cattle and 32 cents per animal-month for sheep. The forest service pointed out that permits issued for 1961 will apply only to (he 1961 season.

(AP)-For three weeks the James F. Bryant family had to stay home because (he Bryants' grandchildren had the measles. Thursday nighl the family final ly got out for a brief shopping trip.

Woitiairs Actions Arc Immature By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: That wom an who complained because her sister-in-law brought a steak over every Friday night while the rest of the fam ily ate fish, gave me the courage to write you this letter. My sister mar ried' out of her religion. We grew up with no bacon, ham or pork in (he house. She knows Mama and Papa don't eat these foods. Whenever she has the folks for dinner she prepares fish for them. But for her own family she fixes a pork roast, liver and bacon or a baked ham. The folks never say anything! but I'm sure they feel hurt. Why does my sister do this? Once I; asked her and she became angry and said, "A person is free to do whatever he pleases in his own home." Do you think she is right? -WONDERING Dear Wondering: Your sister's betrsvlor Is immature and disre spectful. Her parents are well aware that she has left the reli gion. They needn't be hit over the head with a pork roast or a slab of bacon as a gentle reminder. Your sister docs this to prove she Is no longer under her par ents' control. Guilt is always ac companied by feelings of doubt and insecurity. Dear Ann Landers: You have printed many letters from readers who ask, Should I tell my friend (hat her husband is having an af fair?" Your advice is always "No. Keep your nose out of other people's business." I don't agree. I was one of those dumb ones who thought her mar riage was perfect. My husband was kind and affectionate, when all the time he was carrying on with a girl young enough to be his daughter. When I caught them to gether I offered him a divorce. He didn't want one (Do they ever?) Now I'm a broken woman old before my time. He says the "fling" is over and wants me to forgive and forget. Even though he stays home every night or takes me along, I still don't trust him. I wish some kind friend had told me what I was too blind to see.-WORLD DESTROYED Welfare Compromise Announced By Duncan Dear World: Sorry, the advice stands. If some "kind friend" had told you "what you were too blind to see" you would have gone to pieces earlier. Hearing it from an outsider never makes It easi er. The husband who turns down an offer of freedom demonstrates that his wife means more than his girl friend. There should be some comfort in this knowledge. Stop punishing yourself and work Instead to re-establish the once-good relationship. Your ina bility to accept the realities of life is what's killing you not your husband's unfaithfulness. Dear Ann Landers: Recently you printed a letter from a high school teacher who wanted to know what to do about a girl stu dent who imagined herself in love and became quite a pest. I'm a high school teacher who once had a similar problem. This is how I managed it. When I started to teach music a few young girls began to hang around after class. Some would phone during the evening and a couple actually dropped in on me at home. I sensed I was on the spot and decided to date more often and bring the young ladies to every school function. This made it plain' I was interested only in girls my age and the young stu dents soon became less romantic ally inclined J.L.

SALEM (AP) There is a plan to give the governor some authority over public welfare ad ministration and still retain me welfare commission, House Speak- er Robert B. Duncan, D-Med-ford, said today. The approach would be some thing like that used in the state! toward higher education, he said. The administration would be put in the framework of a De partment of Social Services, with a director as a coordinator be tween the governor and other groups, he said. The commission, Duncan said, would continue as the policy board that would name the ad ministrator with the advice and consent of the governor. Duncan said this would in ef fect give the governor a veto over the choice, but only the board would have the,power to remove the administrator. The reorganization program of Gov. Mark O. Hatfield calls for abolishing the present Welfare Commission and setting up wel fare as a department under the control of the governor. Members of the Welfare Com mission, with one exception, are in favor of retaining the present commission. Duncan termed his approach a "reasonable compromise that would install better connections and communications between wel fare and the governor and still retain (he continuity of adminis tration and independent judgment of the commission that the boards and commission system was in tended to accomplish in a very sensitive political area." Duncan's announcement came on the heels of another welfare hearing by the House State and Federal Affairs Committee and the Health and Welfare commit. tees. The heal ing, which Duncan said he hoped would be the final one. will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Room 6 of the state capitol.
