QUESTION: Should pre-school age j
children bo sent to kindergarten? !
What is the value of kindergarten
to a child?
KKPLY: Studies have shown that j
children who have had kindergarten !
training generally do better in school j
than children wihtout such training.
Not only do they make more satisfactory
progress in school work, but also
they adjust themselves more easily
to school conditions.
The main values that kindergarten
affords a child, areof three types? >
physical, mental, and social. The child j
is taught to get along with other people.
to be responsible for his posses- !
| sions and his acts, to plan his actiyi- ;
-.v? una carry mem out independently.
to cooperate with his playmates,
end to lead and follow intelligently
instead of blindly. He has the right
sort of play to develop him physical- j
1>. He is trained to think out his own i
probents and to solve them. He is
taught to express his own ideas and I
appreciate the ideas of others.
QUESTION: What is the definition
I of illiteracy? What are the figures on
illiteracy in the United States and in
the world in general? What country
I has the highest rate of literacy.
REPLY: According to the defini
tion used by thu United States Gav1

, years of age or over who cannot, write j

in 1930, the last year for which
figures are available, there were 4.2?*3.753
illiterates in the U. S. or
4.3V, of the population over 10
years of age. For negroes the illiteracy
rate in 1930 was 10.3', . for foreign
born whites 9.9'i, for native
whites 1.5', .
The states with the highest illiteracy
rale in 1910 were South Carolina
with 14.9' , . Louisiana with 15.5'.
. New Mexico with 13.3* , anu Mississippi
with 13.1' , .
According to recent estimates over
60', of the world's population is
wholly illiterate. This is a rough estimate.
Africa the most illiterate.
Finland and Denmark are 100' , literate.
QUESTION: Should a high school
military training corps be instituted
as a part of the high sc. ?ol curriculum?
Besides its purely military purpose
does it serve any definite educative
purpose.' Does il not take up
time better for other things?
UEl'L\ : The arguments for including
military training in the high
snhftfil i*s_ii..... -- . ?
v. w-in-uiuiu usually are onset!
on the claim> that: 1 ?such training
ai<ls the national defense; 2?It develops
the studciu physically, creates
endurance and physical fitness: 3?
It develops habits of obedience, discipline,
and alertness, and makes the
student a better citizen.
On the other hand, published findings
fo the numerous State ami local
groups indicate that there is little
evidence to suport these claims. It
has been found that the sort of military
training received in high school
is likely to be of slight practical use
in case of war. tha* the physical exorcise
is of a type often detrimental to
the well-being of high school boys,
and that habits of obedience, alertness.
and discipline arc not developed
in such a way as to remain as permanent
characteristics.
QUESTION: What is the proportion
