Ex-Boy Friend Indicates Interest Again, but Seems

To Fear to Ask for Dates

Let Him Know Presence Is Welcome and Don’t Be Afraid to Show Unaffected Pléasure When He Calls, Miss Jordan Advises ‘No Name.’

Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column daily.

n 7 » ” n "8 PEAR JANE JORDAN—For three years I put all my eggs in one basket by going steady with a fine young man. In January our ways parted and we haven't had a date since, but we are still the best of friends. Every so often he calls me or comes around but never does he suggest an evening together. 1 know from several of his friends that he wants to date me again but is afraid to ask for fear I will refuse him. He knows I have other boy friends and feels rather strange in his position. I am too young to be in love but I do like his companionship as we enjoy the same things. Even though I have known him for several years I hesitate to break the ice. What shall I do to iet him know that 1 would gladly accept a date? NO NAME.

ANSWER—Let him know by vour manner that his presence is welcome. Don't be afraid to show unaffected pleasure when he calls you. Why should you hesitate to say. “How nice it is to hear from you again,” or “I'm so glad you stopped in. Do come aggin.” Girls are so afraid of appearing to pursuela boy that they become {oo constrained in his presence.

# 8 x - "on : DEAR JANE JORDAN—One day while working I happened to be | kneeling on a paper and I read your column about a would-be composer, and it struck me right in the face. Now I am a young man the sams! age as he, and I have aspirations as much as he has but I am still plugging along hoping that some day I might team up with someone who knows what I don’t. : ; He knows his music but can't get the words to fit it. and that is | where I shine. I have several lyrics that I know are good but no music for them. I wonder if you have this young man’s address. I can’t even | tell vou the date of the paper his letter appeared in, for the letter was | all that was left of my paper. K. A.D

ANSWER--1 am sorry. but I do not have his address. A reliable agent would be able to tell you whether your lyrics are salable or not. JANE JORDAN,

This is going too far in the other direction and is just as dis- | |

that he must give up—the ace of |

trumps, one club and the ace of diamonds, and possibly another diamond, ‘if East did not hold the .ace. He could not afford to lose a heart trick, so he had to play the hand in such a way as to conserve the few entries to the dummy hand, and in additicn hope for

a little luck in the location of the |

Learning by Rote Gains New Favor

Once Put Aside, System Now Is Employed for Laying Foundation.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A moot question of educators during the past quarter century has been the value of the rote system, or learning words verbatim ' from the textbook. Many believed that pupils: were doing too much parrot talking, and r.ot getting the idea behind the lines, have pupils read over the lesson,

Safety in Signs, Coed Notes

so teachers were urged to |

then recite it in their own words.

Moreover, recitation periods were to be made “interesting.” Everybody was crowding on the front seats

to watch teacher draw diagrams | and give a little travelogue ,of her | own, if the lesson happened to be |

icography, for instance. “History, too, was just “Never mind about dates. chronological tables, and the names of generals.” so dictated the modernists. “Give the children a bigger idea of world aflairs,

grand. | and |

such |

as tying up the American Revolu- | tion with the French one. showing |

how the simplicity of the Jacobeans

affected our own democracy.” And | so forth and so forth.

Lessons Spread Too Thin

The lesson that started out with | | the newly freed colonies hanging in |

mid-air, wound up with Danton and Marat, and on to Napoleon, and certainly the scholars knew more than they did before, after a recitation conducted on such broad principles; but in the meantime, where was the chalkline, with toes touching. and Jim Smith cranking his brain for the facts. names and dates of our own dilemma? The results of spreading recitations too thin are now beginning to show in the woeful

be pat in their minds. There are the two extremes of recitation, and both are bad. One is the mechanical gesture of memorizing mere words without explanation or discussion; the too-digestive method just mentioned, in which sight of the immediate lesson is lost.

signment is understood and ineradicably fixed in memory. Little by little the mistakes of expanded methods are being cor-

rected, and we are going back fast |

to good old-fashioned “rote.” To. fix multiplication tables, and rules of grammar, and actually learn, not merely discuss, the stark facts of informative subjects. Memorizing in the good old way takes hold and becomes a real asset to build on later. No one is averse to trimmings. indeed they should not be neglected, but they can usurp the province of the fundamentals. So don't fuss. parents, if Johnny slams down his text book one of these days and declares indignantly that the teacher says he has to
