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,

what is meant and not be satis

She went home, worked problems

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.

to solve problems.)

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.
To learn the difference between
a marriage that "settles down"
and one that "gets dull," send
for Ann Landers' booklet, "What
To Expect From Marriage," en
closing with your request 20 cents
in coin and a long, self-addressed,
stamped envelope.
(Ann Landers will be glad to
help you with your problems.
Send them to her in care of this
newspaper enclosing a stamped,
self-addressed envelope.
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.
