Mr. Taylor explained that it "was really the same old mathe- matics with a new approach, in that, under the new system anne would find arithmetic in- iteresting and would be able to eexplore the "whys and hows". "The new system was necessary because of rapid advances in the scientific fields, School principals were first "acquainted with the new system ~ {in 1962 and 1963. In the follow- «ing year, inservice training was "provided for grade teachers in uthe current school year, grade °7 pupils were being taught the »hew way. Gradually it would be "introduced to the lower grades. « Mr. H. L.. Haisell, principal, "demonstrated several new. ma- »thematical problems on the ers H and S$ Told vided with paper and pencil and encouraged to work them out for themselves. Mr, Haisell showed that in solving any given problem a base number need not necessarily be ten, but could just as well be seven, eight or nine, and that Martians (if indeed there were other in- habited planets) in all proba- bility would use a different sys- tem of counting from that used on earth. Parents who attended the meeting were high in the praise of the presentation of the New Mathematics by Mr. Taylor and Mr. Haisell and demonstrated their intense interest by asking both many questions in connec- tion with this new system. Members were reminded of the Annual Convention of the Home and School Association to be held in Niagara Falls in April.

MYERS, PhD "If the 'student tutored has good habits of study he may profit greatly from being tu- tored; if he doesn't have, the results may be. doubtful." This I heard from a college professor recently. He related his experiences with his own daughter while she was in col- lege. He had spent many hours helping her in one subject "'get- ting her through.'"' But he added that she rarely did any studying on the subject between tutoring periods. Apparently most of her learning of the subject was limited to the times she worked with him, WORK BETWEEN TUTORING Many other tutors could relate like experiences. Music teachers giving individual private lessons could report in. like manner, Perhaps, on .the average, the music pupils in half the cases do little or no studying or prac- ticing between "lessons."' Of course, an occasional pupil or student in music, or any other subject, is so gifted as to make great progress when his effort is limited to the time with his teacher or tutor. But for the average child or youth, such doesn't occur, This fact applies to the child at the age fourteen or twenty. While the skillful work of the tutor may help a child or youth who doesn't study between tutoring periods barely to "cross the line," the effect may not trans- fer or prove permanent, STANDING ALONE The foregoing comment by that college professor may more often be true for the college youth than for the child eight or ten. Even in music, the child, especially if gifted in music, who does not practice between lesson periods may acquire ac- curacy in techniques while with the teacher, This may influence practicing later and even the acquisition of the practice habit. But after months and years of depending wholly on the teachér or tutor, the habit of practicing or studying between lesson pe- riods may not develop. Some music teachers or tutors in other subjects, may be atffe to inspire or even require practice 3 HAWA' Adeline Quartet, Oshawa Chapter; and the 'Four-In- Accord", Oshawa Chapter of SPEBSQSA Quartet.

Sometimes, too, a child or) youth working with a skillful tutor may receive the kind of help that assures him he can depend more and more on him- self. But so long as he inclines to depend wholly on the tutor he may not gain much, LEARN AT HOME Returning to the remark by that college professor, we might ask whether most students, especially. in college or high) school, who reached a place where a tutor was desirable didn't get there because they lacked, chiefly, good work habits. Therefore, we parents of chil- dren in the middle and upper elementary grades should be concerned that these children learn at: home good habits of mental work during these ear- lier years. If we can find ways to cultivate diligent, faithful and efficient--study habits in them, then of tutors in high school and} college. Certainly we should aim to cultivate in the child or youth the habit of diligent work on the assignments made by the tutor, preparing him to gain more at each succeeding period with this tutor. Unfortunately many a parent feels his obligation has ended when he provides a tutor for his lagging child, He still has the problem of fostering re- sponsibility in this child, PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q. Why do so many parents shout and shriek at their chil- dren? A. Thy don't use the hand soon enough and often enough. The child does not believe them when they say NO just once in a moderate tone and they just get madder and madder be- cause he doesn't, MORNING ALARM Women in Oklahoma City became so used to sonic booms caused by jet aircraft being tested that they complained to U.S, authorities that they were over-sleeping in the morning when tests ended.

By PEGGY MASSIN PARIS (Reuters)--Parisians, making a gallant effort to be slimmer, have shed an esti- mated 1,200,000 unwanted pounds in the last year, To do it, they have been pummelled and pounded, baked and boiled, at 350 diffe-ent es- tablishments licensed to help the population reduce its weight.
