flrrir- ■»“>.i SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD *T John Corey. Appalachian Stale Teacher* College - * Handwriting: It's Less Fatiguing To Write "Pretty" * forty years ago teachers treat ed handwriting chiefly as an act J>f skill. Today it’s considered Oaoie as a method of cogjgnuni ‘cation, like the typewriter or ■the old Indian smoke signal. * The modern viewpoint appears <9 be that the content of a mes sage ,1s jthe important thing, not •haw “pretty” it’s written. ! .A warning against this logic Tomes from Mrs. Ennis R. Davis, J4-year veteran teacher of hand- Jvriting at the laboratory ele mentary school on the campus 'of Appalachian State Teachers’ College, Boone, N. C. Handwriting must be legible ■enough for the content to be -understood, says Mrs. Davis. Otherwise communication fails. ■And as long as one is writing, ' she asks, why not make it at tractive, especially since a grace ful style pleases the eye and ac ■tually fatigues the writer -less? * Dr. Frank Freeman, dean .emeritus of the University of [California (Berkeley) school of •education and probably the na tion's foremost authority on ■'teaching handwriting, paints a [, •* ° 4v :< • j-. -•' _ tv’ .•# - and sixth. All along the teacher continu ally helps J unior improve the shape, size, space, and slant of his writing. She gives him op portunities to practice writing words that have real meaning for him, Mrs. Davis points out. And as Junior grows older, he finds his own ways to practice. He’ll write letters to grand mother, order model airplanes from cereal companies, send I thank-you notes, ; notify the milkman to deliver extra bottles of milk —all of which is good writing experience. Dr. Freeman of the University of California, warns parents to be careful not to force Junior’s writing pace too fast. Muscular coordination has much to do with his progress, says the hand writing expert. The first grad er’s small wrist and arm muscles for instance, are not so well developed as the larger muscles and they need space and ma terials to “spread out” in their writing. Understanding teachers and parents realize that Junior’s | imagination often surpasses his i ability to write, and they don’t fuss when he misspells or uses | the wrong words. They know that accuracy and speed improve in time. Editor’s note: Readers having questions concerning education are invited to send inquiries to School and Your Child.

A crop of this size would be 50,000 bushels or 4 percent above last year and 26 percent above aver age. This year’s crop bloomed about three weeks earlier than usual due to a warm spell early in March. Bloom was satisfac tory, and a heavy set of fruit resulted. “All men are entitled, to a hearing in the councils which decide upon the des tiny of themselves and their children.” Each family will find here a service of dignify and decor um, with complete relief from anxious, perplexing details. “This extension phone is my most valuable TIME SAVER'* Farm#™ am practical paopla whose busy schedule demands the bast possible use of time and labor saving equipment.

Memory Selection; “Whatever your task, work heartily as serv ing the Lord and not men,”— (Colossians 3:23). Lesson Text: Proverbs 6:6-9: 22:29; 24:30-34; Ecclesiastes 3:22; II Thessalonians 3:6-13. Our lesson today strives to help adults appreciate more fully the blessing of work and the value of diligence. The writers of today’s Scrip ture honored hard work and de plored laziness. Labor seemed very wise and practical; these men realized that work is neces sary for self-respect. Hard work is written into the very structure of life. Accord ing to the account of creation there were six days of work and one of rest. Furthermore, God continues to work at the matter of creation and keeps his crea tures busy. When the wise author of Prov erbs urged lazy people to “go to the ant” he was pointing out Chowan Cou 7EOPIM BAPTIST 1 Sunday School Sunday moraine at 10 o’clock.

There exists an obvious heedlessness in nature, but all God’s creatures must work to gather their food and make secure their lives in order to survive. Indeed, from the creatures of the field we can learn a lesson for all creation. Man is God’s most noble work; therefore he should apply him self diligently to his work. When ever men have spoken of their most honored traits, diligence has taken its rightful place among such virtues as courage, honesty and love. The lazy man is an abomination to a society of responsible human beings. Work is an evidence of strong charac ter. Character falls short if diligence is absent. Weak good ness and unfinished tasks are mute evidences of personal trag edy. Men have also observed that diligence rewards life with rich satisfactions. To earn one’s living by the sweat of the brow is no curse, nor is it a dishonor. Both psychologically and spirit ually, work is a great blessing. One of the hardest lessons we must learn as we go through life is that we must shoulder respon sibility.
