Whaiever method they employ, they have achieved much if the child really masters these items. He will need to) known them mechanically all his life without pausing to think about them. Whether he is trying to mem- orize number tables or the cor- rect spelling of certain words, parent are inclined to drill him. They keep trying Lim out on items over and over before he has mastered them. They start testing him too soun. When they do this, he often answers wrong and keeps re- peating mistakes. His parents may continue trying him out and correcting him until . all, or nearly all, the mistakes drop out. Often there are so many mistakes that the child grows) confused and discouraged and the parent becomes vexed. | At school the same procedure} usually happens.

EASIER AT HOM? | At home with one child it 1s, easier for you than for the teacher of many at school, to guide the child in best possible ways. You can have him re- peat only the "rights," and) make "accuracy first" the rule, as he learns necessary items by heart. Therefore, when supervising your child's homework, show him how to repeat each number combination or the correct spelling of each word over and over. Have him iook carefully at it and keep doing so until he is sure he has learned it by heart. Don't give him a large list of number combinations or words to spell at a sitting Better for him to master three or four, than be baffled by many. After you have shown him how to study the spelling of a word or to memorize a number combination, put him on _ his own.

It's the new standard in high fashion and sophistication in floor styl-| ing. And it has strictly prac- tical points, too! More and more designers are planning rooms with handsome hardwood floors left either en-| tirely exposed, set off by attrac-| tive area or recent rugs, Or) covered partially with a room-| sized rug that leaves generous) borders of floor exposed. Home - planning experts say that the preference for hard- wood in these arrangements is due in large measure to a re-| newed appreciation on the part| of designers and homemakers} of wood's striking natural] beauty of grain pattern and| vide a perfect dance surface. POPULAR OAK Various hardwoods are used in the exposed floor arrange- ment. Most extensively used is oak, a traditional favorite for fine floors. Also popular are hard maple, beach, birch and pecan. We have seen exquisite floors done in such woods as walnut, ash, cherry, hickory and that real luxury wood, teak. The many fine products devel- oped for the purpose make it easy to keep hardwood floors in a state of gleaming beauty that adds much to the decor of any room, As for the style of flooring, the plank style, which adds a note of charming informality, is Leather or suede, Black, brown, green, Were to 9.99 FLAT BOOTIES ALL HEEL BOOTIES... ...
