MYERS, PhD Of concern to all of us is the growing practice of exposing children at school to machine instruction. Teaching machines may be useful in learning a few specific facts more or less me- chanically. But they can do little to stimulate creativity. Nor do they provide the warmth, especially to young children, which a live teacher can provide. Parents are bombarded with alluring advertising materials of various mechanical devices and gadgets for teaching the child at home. Some parents buy many of these at high prices. Among these devices are records from which are played stories for young chil- dren to listen to. How can they be nearly as effective as the same stories read by a parent, grandparent, older A mother of five children from eight years to two months of age writes from California. "As our family grows, it be- comes increasingly hard to find time to read to the children every day. Just the logistics of getting all of the children ready for bed preclude reading time. We have had a continuing prac- tice of going to the library every two. weeks, and all of the chil- dren know how to behave in the library and how to choose books to take home, even from their earliest years. We have many books in our home, both for our- selves and for the children. "'We read, though time is lim- {ted for 'us, and I am inclined to magazines and newspapers these days for that reason. TV viewing is limited to no more than a half hour or hour a day, chosen especially for the chil- dren, unless something unusual occurs -- illness, company, a good program. "What do you think of re- corded stories for the children? We do have a stereo, and some children's records -- stories, songs and music--besides our own limited but representative collection. The children can use the turntable as we chose an easily operated one for that purpose. They do like to listen to the story records, more so than visiting children do, and with rainy days coming, such records may be of use. "Our oldest girl, six, reads well, but finds it difficult to read as much at home as she might otherwise do if she did Ww get A} ELECTRIC TEFLON FRYPA child or ' o not have so many younger chil- dren to play with. She will read on occasion to the others and is encouraged to do so." IMPROVE READING SKILLS My reply in part: It is wonderful that you par- ing to your children and at pro- viding them with good books. Well-selected songs and other music are excellent. In your case, a few recordings of stories may have merit, affording your children opportunities at self- amusement: But I hope you put emphasis on stories read to these children. Your child, eight, might be induced to read io the younger children, See what this could do in their relation to him and to improve his reading skill. Do encourage your eldest daughter o read to the younger ones when they will listen. Before many years more and more of the older ones may be reading |aloud to the younger ones, | This mother writes of her child, five, now. in kinder- garten: "'She is the least inter- ested in books and in hearing stories read. She was the slow- est to talk. She still speaks in- distinctly." My partial reply about this child: Don't trust to records for this child. Keep trying to win her to look at pictures in a beautiful book as you talk about them-- as you read to her. Try to get the older children to work in this direction and to help her say words more distinctly. ents have done so well at read-| Stars indicate a more or less -- day; also the possibility of having to revise some of your 'previous plans. In dealings with others, listen to suggestions, even if their opinions seem at odds with your own. After care- ful consideration, you could find you've picked up some good ideas. [FOR THE BIRTHDAY If Friday is your birthday, your horoscope promises highly Satisfactory results in monetary matters during the next year, but you will have to be con- servative in your program. You can make fine gains, however, if you manage smartly--espe- cially during the first two weeks in August and, with even more jastuteness between Sept, 15 and Nov. 15.

Not so. There are plenty of clothes in this bright Centen- nial year that are youthful without being distressingly young, smart but not gaudy, up to date but not in the science-fiction category. Really, it doesn't take much searching for the mature woman to find fashions that are becoming and just different enough to put new _ interest into a wardrobe. Two lines in particular are good bets for your spring and Summer wardrobe, First is the tent style--flattering and femi- ber. And do avoid extravagance) during the last two weeks in| |December.

The aforemen- tioned two periods, incidentally, will also be most propitious for romance, as will be next April and May. For the travel- minded, it would be advisable nine, comfortable and easy to wear, and an excellent choice for dressy occasions. For busi- ness and daytime wear, there's that| Tent Dress Suits Mature Figure Correctly supported, Controlled ure flaws, but to give the sil- houette that will let it appear at its free-swinging best, a shapely bustline is needed. Pick a bra that provides a firm, uplifted line, and the tent will fall in the pretty lines the designer intended. Don't forget either that the tent, with all its fabric, will mold itself |to your body as you move, so |waist and hips will be in evi- dence. A high-rise girdle, pos- sibly with a front panel and extra power through hips and thighs will sleek your flesh into slim lines. Likewise, the coat dress, easy fitting but still with waist- line definition, puts bust and hips definitely 'in the picture. Again the same type of bra and girdle you require for the tent will be a winning combin- jation. As an alternative, consider the corselette, combining as it does all the features of bra and girdle. The corselette works wonders in providing a smooth, unbroken line and is a favérite with women whose figures tend to be on the full side. the coat dress -- popular now and already being picked as a {winner for fall as well. | Both the tent and the coat! |dress, of course, need thought|Citement in clothes that make in the selection of foundations, | The tent may seem to hide fig-| longer journeys will include} January and April of 1968. | A child born on this day could be most successful as a surgeon or, along creative lies, as a painter; could even excel along the latter line as an avocation. All in all, the youthful but mature woman, whatever her age, can still find fashion ex- the most and the best of her maturity. To help achieve this result, there's nothing that helps as much as good founda- tion garments.
