Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, October H, 1966 J-my -'•fa A - Study Center for Your Child May Help His Homework Go Smoothly Your child’s reading, writing and arithmetic may go more smoothly if he has a definite place to do his homework. A study center may meet Ills de mands, Regai'dless of where the study center will be located, in the child’s room or in another part of tlie house, there are certain desirable features that should be included. For example, a suitable desk or table should be the hub of a study unit, Mrs. Edith Mc- Glamery, extension housing and house furnishings specialist. North Carolina State Uni versity, points out. Among tlie things you’ll want to look for when selecting a desk are; a comfortable height, sufficient knee room, and a writing sur face that will allow your child to spread out his books and Nothing to Eat Can Ever Beat Chicken at The Charburger supplies. If possible the desk sliould have a light colored, non-glare top. Mrs. McGlamery points out that a dark surface steals light and a glossy desk top produces a glare. However a dark or glossy top may be covered with a blotter of any light color, she notes. Another must in a study center is a desk chair that is the correct hei^t for good pos ture. It should be comfortable for your child when he sits with his spine against the back and his feet flat on the floor. His eyes should be 14 inches above the working area. Storage space is needed for books and supplies. Bricks and boards may be arranged to make an attractive and useful book case. Metal stripping may be used on the wall to form ad justable bookshelves which can be raised or lowered to fit books or ornaments of any size. In addition, produce adequate lifting. Good lighting serves your child’s eyes by providing enou^ light without glare so he can see clearly andqulckly.lt distributes the li^t evenly to prevent bright spots and deep shadows and gives some gen eral lighting in the room to eliminate extreme contrasts. Also, it places the light cor rectly so no sliadows will fall on the work your child is doing. The finishing touch for a study unit will be the ac cessories that can give it warmth and personality. Among these items are a bulletin l)oard, book ends, a wastebasket, files and bulletin boxes. Most these items will be useful as well as decora tive, Mrs. McGlamery notes. In sorrow he learned this truth, one may return to the place of his l)lrth, he cannot go back to his youth,—John Bur- rouglis.
