It may cause the learner to grow less interested in meaning, it may cause him to think and reason less instea of. more. ' However,. so much has been said in condemning any kind of rote memory that many teach- ers and parents suppose no one should ever try to learn any- thing by heart. Yet, often the child has learned the meaning of four and nine equals 13 or the word "busy," any word, indeed. It's very useful for him to remember a number combi- nation he will use the rest of his life, How is the child to learn to spell many words without learn- ing by heart the letters in proper order in these. words? How far would a mathematician or scientist get if he did not remember certain basic sym- bols and facts whose meanings he had mastered? Imagine a student of medi- cine, pharmacy, or dentistry, getting far in his courses if he didn't do a lot of boning, a lot of rote learning. With a good teacher, the stu:| dent in high school or college discovers in class the things and their meanings worth re- membering. He uses his time in class well when he tries to re- member these most important items then and practice later at keeping them in his memory. STIMULATES STUDENTS The best teacher helps the pupil and student select what is worth remembering and after getting meaning from it, stimu- lates him to try to remember it. As a rule, what is worth knowing is worth remembering. All too often the child and stu- dent in class does not feel he . should learn by rote some of the very items he will need most to keep in his memory. Paradoxically, many a col- lege professor of education spends hours in his lecturing condemning all learning by rote. Then in his examination of his class he may ask many questions whose answers. must be remembered. Woe to his stu- Gents if they had not done con- siderable memorizing for that So iiely bes pread the no- w 8) tion that there should be no whose meaning has been mast- ered, there are some excep- tions.

Safety Measures For Hallowe'en Here's a Hallowe'en tip for parents from Ontario optome- Rtrists: Make sure Hallowe'en a treat instead of a trick for your children this year. Have them use makeup - not masks. Masks with small eye-holes make seeing difficult. Or, they can slip and obscure vision completely. Children aren't careless -- only carefree. And, in the care- free fun of trick-or-treating, they often forget to stop, look and listen before dashing out into the street. Start them off with an even chance by mak- ing- sure- they-can-see-properly. Small children can have fun making fantastic faces with cold cream, lipstick, powder and burnt cork. The older kids can! let out the artist in their souls with the more elaborate grease- paints. And while you're at it, say Ontario's Optometrists, make) sure the kids wear white . . .| lots of it.

In one instance, Ann and the volunteers conceived the idea of a three-day com- munity hike in which '200 peo- ple from small communities travelled with sleeping bags, took a 34-mile hike and met people from other communities, "One person on the trip was a blind man of 40," Ann told me, "and as we sat around the trip he said: 'I'm going to get out more, People like me.
