Trim- med with felt scraps sal- vaged from the do-it-your- self circus valance, they provide an original bit of "decorator" co-ordination A miniature version of the A major dilemma facing stud-| ents today -- and one rarely en-| countered by their parents dur-| ing their school years -- is the) difficulty in keeping up with facts ; and theories which are constant- iy changing or or being disprov- ed. A child who learned the rud- iments of a branch of chemistry in high school -- or any of sever- | al science subjects, for example | -- today has to start almost from scratch, to re-learn vast bodies of new or different information | when tackling the same subject, in college, just a very few years later. In fact, never before in history | fhas the acceleration.of human knowledge been so rapid, the| changes in theory, fact and gen-| eral information so numerous and complex. | As another example, there is the area of geo-politics. In the last eight years alone, there have been 39 brand-new nations form- ed, 15 countries have changed their names and 32 have changed their international borders, ac- cording to Hammond Inc., pro- ducers of maps, globes and atlas- es. In fact, in compiling their just | published "Citation" atlas, spe- cifically designed for students and their budgets, the map-mak- ers found that 58 internal bound- ary changes were also necessary to conform with current world | geographical conditions -- along | with more than 1,400 topograph- | fical changes and more than 2,500 | city and town name changes. Before the start of each school ; term, most educators today, and interested parents, are taking | special care, therefore, to check j the school and family reference | books with which their students | must work. The basic recom-; mended reference library for a/ family with children of school | age should include at least the | following: | 1. a recently published diction- ary; 2. a set of well-recognized and modern encyclopedia, with periodically issued supple- ments bringing it up-te- date! 8. a copy of an authoritative atlas; 4. this year's world almanac should also be considered almost mandatory. ' Books such as modern the- gaurus and a recent biographical dictionary = also prove ex- tremely useful. For the danger to a student of working with out-of-date refer- gnce books and materials is more than just that of finding Incomplete or inaccurate inform- ation. It is often also the danger of finding no information on a subject at all. BELF DISCOVERY Be Sure Child's References Library Moves With Times __ felt valance adorns the plain white toy chest.
