You, Your Child and School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist

the frustration will result in discouragement.

Homework can be an important part of the educational program. It has a variety of purposes. Time spent on homework can strenghten the student’s mastery of subject matter as well as his study skills and general background. The work may involve practice or preparation for a future lesson. It may provide opportunities for creative thinking, research, and the growth of ideas. Parents do not have control over the actual assignments. Homework is assigned by the teacher as a supplement to dasswork. Teachers desire parental cooperation but they do not want the responsibility taken away from the student. How can parents be most helpful? The concept of learning terough discovery is basic to parental help. Do not specifically correct an arthmetic problem. Do discuss the method for solving the problem and suggest re-evaluation. You can help a student learn by asking searching questions which will help him to think. Let’s look at the various types of assignments. Practice type responsibilities require only limited assistance. The concepts have been taught in the classroom. The child should be encouraged to seek assistance when it is introduced by the teacher. If specific help is needed, the parent should follow procedures indicated in the student’s textbook. This will avoid confusion of methods. Help should be aimed at understanding how to solve the problem rather than a memorization of steps. Don’t forget that the teacher is most pleased to give further explanation to an interested student and parent. Creative assignments require a combination of skills which are developed over a period of time. In this type of assignment a student needs encouragement and motivation. You should help the child plan his own approach. The problem should challenge the thinking processes but it should not be so difficult that

Preparatory assignments are aimed at developing background and curiosity. Generally, help should be of a superficial nature in that a full understanding will be developed in the classroom. In total, parents can help most effectively by guiding rather than doing. Keep responsibility with the student and maintain the parental role of guidance. The most effective learning is achieved by self discovery of knowledge and concepts.

On The Farm Front (By LARRY D. HATFIELD) WASHINGTON UPI — The sweeping recommendations made a little more than a year ago by President Johnson’s National Food Marketing Commission to upgrade the structure and performance of the U.S. food distribution system appearently have been mostly forgotten according to a leading farm economist. Angus McDonald, research director for National Farmers Union, says the blue ribbon group’s recommendations are more likely to be found in “attic storerooms, stashed with leftover campaign posters and USDA yearbooks’’ than on the desks of legislative assistants on Capital Hill. And in the various agencies charged with policing farm marketing or protecting the public, McDonald says the report has been relegated to the “hot potato shelf.” With the exception of a bill to prohibit processors from discriminating against farm cooperatives and their members, McDonald says Congress and the Johnson administration have “virtually ignored” the 27 recommendations made by the commission. What’s more, he adds, “most of the study’s original backers have moved on to find other dragons to slay.” There are only a handful of lawmakers still pushing for the reforms the study suggested, the Farmers Union official said. Among the agencies, the Federal Trade Commission and the Packers and Stockyards Administration are the only ones “making a serious attempt to follow up.” With the exception of the bill protecting co-ops, sponsored by Sen. George D. Aiken, R-Vt., McDonald says a number of other bills designed to carry out the commission’s recommendations are getting nowhere.

Indiana first in nation to have uniform lunch program

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Indiana soon will have the on|y school lunch progrEim in the nation in which its 600,000 participating students will be eating uniform foods prepared from standardized home-state

recipes.

The first in a series of tests of the recipes was conducted Tuesday at Pike High School here. Rolled wheat banana bread was sampled by 631 students and the reaction was “very good,” according to State Home Economist Sheila Elam. The program, initiated last March by Superintendent of Public Instruction Richard D. Wells, will extend soon to 11 other school" and eventually cover the 1,850 Indiana schools in the national school lunch progrom. Six of the test schools will be in central Indiana, three in north, and three in the south to get a cross-sec-tion of student reaction. The recipes will supplement the present standardized Agriculture Department ones and will aim at being distinctively Hoosier. “It will be a form of education because it will introduce many students to foods they’re not used j, like rolled wheat banana bread,” Mrs. Elam said. The recipes will make use of 17 commodities, including honey, pineapple, orange juice,

peas, dr'd eggs, and commeal, that the schools received under the school lunch program. It will be up to the schools to decide when they want to use the recipes. The students’ reactions in the tests will be questioned they return their trays. Mrs. Elam estimates it will take 10 days to analyze the results of one test smd three months to standardize a recipe. The cost of the program will be “nominal” because it will use existing personnel am facilities, School Lunch Director Carl J. Nicholson said. He said the standardization could result in lower costs because it would be more “efficient.” “It will enhance preparation and reduce labor,” Mrs. Elam said. "It - ill be like coming into an office and having a schedule already made up. By knowing the ingredients and procedure, you can go right ahead. This way if someone is ill, the person taking his place will not be preparing the lunches by guesswork.” The first Boy Scout troop in the United States was organized in Barre, Vt. Only one polio case was reported in Alabama in 1966, compared with 695 cases in 1951.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

FAMOUS HANDS

NORTH 4AJ765 VKJ975 4 AJ9 * WEST EAST 4K 4Q10 68432 VQ108 4 4876543 4 K 4K32 4Q10984 SOUTH ♦ 4 A6432 4Q102 4 A J7 6 5 This is a double-dummy problem. The contract Is Seven Hearts and West leads the eight of diamonds. As in all double-dummy problems, you are permitted to look at the four hands to help you find the solution. Of course, you are also expected to make the contract against any and all possible lines of defense. If you would like to try to solve the problem, stop reading at the end of this paragraph, but it is only fair to issue a word of Warning that It is extremely difficult to make seven hearts with this layout. Many have tried and failed. You win the diamond lead in dummy with the ace, knowing full well that It will catch East’s singleton king. You then play

the nine of diamonds to ths ten and return a low trump towards dummy. When West follows with the eight, you finesse the nine. (If West follows with the ten or queen instead, win as cheaply as possible.) Re-enter your hand by leading the jack of diamonds to the queen and again play a low heart towards dummy. Assume that West follows with the ten, in which case you finesse the jack. (Here, also, West’s choice of cards does not matter.) At this point you lead the king of hearts from dummy. What you play from your hand depends on East's play to this trick. East, on the first five tricks, presumably has reduced his hand to four spades and four clubs and now has to make a crucial discard on the king of hearts. If he throws a spade, you stay in dummy and establish the spades by ruffing one now and another one later on. If he throws a club, you overtake the king of hearts with the ace and establish your clubs by ruffing two of them in

dummy

East Is caught in a seesaw squeeze and must unguard one black suit or the other. He has no means of escapei.
