Teacher John Bleeker has found the easiest way to correct faulty speech habits is to let the children record their own voices, then play back the sounds. Children recognize their own defects, make a conscious effort toward smoother speech, more careful enunciation.

First of all, I could give up my honest but dreary secretarial job (yes, I would give a week‘s notice ia.nywny) and we could pay all our bills, pay off the mortgage on the house, get the painters in, buy two new armchairs and a new TV (it‘s always snowinfz on ours), which would be all our immediate problems out of the way. Then we would have & delicious time deciding where we could take a month‘s holiday; actually what I would like to do is rent a yacht and a crew and cruise among the Grenadines in the West Indies, just us and the family, then we would bring the girls back to school and go off again with a couple of older friends, one of whom has just retired at a trim, cheerful 65, after a lifetime of hard work and widowhood.â€" At last we‘d be able to repay some of the kindness and affection that these people have shown us. f I am always pleased when I see some hardâ€"working, ordinary joe has hit the jackpot in the Irish Sweepstakes (of course, I would be pleaseder if it was me}, but I am slightly appalled when they nearly all say hastily, "Of course, this won‘t make any difference to my way of living" or "I‘ll tell you one thing, it won‘t go to my head â€" intend to go on with my job as a Grade 4 ragpicker just the same" and so on. This strikes me as an odd reaction to a wonderful windfall; I know they mean to reassure their friends and neighbours that the money won‘t make any difference to the size of hat they wear, but dear hearts, I‘ll tell you one thing, if I won $60,000 it would make a hell of a difference to me. Like wow it would! Now I know some of you young whiprer-snnppert out there in the bushes think this is a stuffy, oldâ€"fashioned attiâ€" tude to art and suspect me of wanting a few Greek gods (with or without figâ€"leaves) scattered around the City Hall, or admirals on horseback accompanied by pigeons. Certainly not, though I would like to see a few more fountains splashing in the sunlight, but I admit to having a thing about fountains. All I‘m asking for is a little beauty and I want it to be so universal an expression of beauty that even a child will recognize it, even if it‘s an odd shape. The Archer isn‘t pleasing to the eye â€" it‘s just puzzling. It doesn‘t stimulate me physically, mentally or soulfully. Like so much conâ€" temporary artistic creativity, it seems pointless. I know that many modern artists deliberately turn away from what is safe and known so that the public won‘t have a familiar reaction to their work; they want us to have to think when confronted with one of their masterpieces, and I don‘t say this is a bad idea, nor that they should go on forever turning out copies of women with babies or busts of Bach just because there is an appreciateive audience for this sort of art, but please, give us some beauty now and then. I know that beauty is in the eye (and I) of the beholder, but there are classical standards which remain as a touchstone for us and it is dangerous to ignore them completely . .. the ruined facade of the Parthenon, almost as bea&tiful now as it was two thousand years ago because of its superb style and setting, the Pieta, the Roman bridge at Avignon, the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, the Winged Victory of Samothrace. I believe passionately that the first duty of any artists in any of the arts is to communicate with his audience; to let them see something through another mind, to light up the inner darkness with his own small candle. If he doesn‘t do this, he has failed, whatever his technical achievements. In an interâ€" view a few years ago, Henry Moore said it too . . . "what counts really is the vision it (the sculpture) expresses; that is, it‘s the quality of the mind behind it rather than the way in which it‘s done." I don‘t think the Archer is a good expression of the doubtless intelligent, compassionate and interesting mind of Henry Moore. â€" and it would have been much cheaper. But it wouldn‘t! have been a "Henry Moore". I agree that a real work of art is priceless, but this time I think people have paid for the name of Henry Moore â€" and that‘s all they‘ve got. Obviously Moore has proved that he has talent and he has produced powerful and interesting work, but surely the Archer is not a worthy product from a master artist who has behind him a lifetime of experience and living? Of course, anyone â€" including chimpanzees â€" can turn out modern paintings, but it‘s more difficult to make even something that looks like the Archer out of a solid hunk of metal. â€"I mean, girls, it‘s not like playing with Silly Putty. At least, I am trying to convince myself of this. But on the other hand (this is a hand I always keep by me in case I need it), I could bear it being so mystifying a shape, if it was only beautiful. Or is that too much to ask? Or if it was noble like Moore‘s king and queen figures at the Toronto Art Gallery â€" there is a strange bouching dignity about these spavined sculptures. But this is just a hunk of metal which looks like a pair of lopsided buttocks from the rear and like a giant cobbler‘s shoeâ€"last from the front. Neither of these vague similarities fills me with a satisfying emotion and I can‘t help feeling we could have acquired just as confusing. a piece of art from one more of the art students at the 0.C.A. o e e e t y t . e o Imfia!mthmorfmvnhbahindthohifialugu.

And now you know, friends, that if I ever win a lot of money, it will make some wonderful changes in my life. It would certainly go to my head â€" and my heart as well, I hope. rumplease, for Ken), I would salve my ingrained workingâ€" girl‘s conscience by making out a list of friends and relatives whom we could help in some way. A gift that is carefully chosen, really needed and lovingly offered means a great deal, whether it costs $5 or $50, and it‘s often the sort of thing that can‘t be squeezed out of the average budget. For example, Ken‘s younger halfâ€"sister and her husband live in London (the London) and use an old London taxiâ€"cab, cirea about 1930, for their car. The damn thing is always breaking down, especially when they‘re on holiday in Wales, halfway up a mountain in a thunderstorm, so it would be fun to arrange for a new engine to be put into the old crate. And my friend, Pam, whom I first met when our No. 1 girl was \a podgy twoâ€"yearâ€"old, and who has been a dear friend ever since despite thousands of miles that separate us â€" she and Ray would love a weekend in Paris, for example. It would be so easy to give pleasure to people â€" and such fun to arrange it, like having Christmas twice a year. Apart from our initial outburst and some new clothes, I suppose Ken would go back to the job which he enjoys and life would go {on more or less normally, but the greatest advantage the money would buy for me would be time â€" time in which to stay at home and write and be there when the girls come home and not have to go out into a blizzard at 8:30 a.m. to get to the office. And what a relief it would be to know that if a tire fell to pieces or someone had to have a new pair of shoes, it wouldn‘t be a financial catastrophe. That‘s the one ’ unforgivable thing about being poor â€" you can‘t help putting too much importance on money; it‘s an important factor in {our lives anyway but its shadow shouldn‘t loom over everyâ€" thing else. â€" (Of course, by this time, I suppose we‘re down to about $35,000, but there‘s all that lovely interest rolling in, so don‘t worry.) Two personal indulgences for me would be a course in French at the Berlitz school and season tickets for four at the O‘Keefe, and it would be nice to have dinner out sometimes, to go away on weekends occasionally to indulge in the small pleasures which make life more enjoyâ€" able. Apart from adopting & raft of children under such schemes as the Canadian Save the Children Fund, I have a private project. In our town, there are many people â€" young and old â€"â€" who need such a little money to enable them to pay off their debts and modestly enjoy life; in some cases as little as $500 would make the whole difference between managing and not managing. With the help of a good friend (would you believe an Anglican minister?), we could anonyâ€" mously spread a little money around where it would be useful. Okay, so some people might just go out and get into more spectacular debt straight away, but they would have had their chance to beat their economic cireumstances â€" cireumâ€" stances they‘re often born into and can never normally A tribute to the late John Drainie will be heard on the CBC radio network, Sunday, December 11.
