"HOW TO STUDY EFFICIENTLY" IvS gV JWT* "One reason why many stu dents don't learn as much as they might," says Norman Spector, noted educator, "is that they study too much." By "study," Professor Spec tor means trying to commit hundreds of facts to memory. "A much better approach." he suggests, "is to grasp the con cepts—the foundation of facts." To study efficiently, educa tional researchers suggest that students try to keep in mind three rules of thumb: RULE 1 - KNOW YOU It MATEIIIAL THOROUGHLY This is not as simple as it sounds although it is basic. Read, re-read, summarize and try to integrate what you just learned with what you already knew. You cannot successfully work algebraic prohlems. for example, without a mastery of addition, and you won't really hnou any subject, until you un derstand its vocabulary, con cepts. and uses. RULE 2 - GET THE KNACK OE PROBLEM SOLVING One of the best ways of gaining expertise in a subject is to practice problem solving in anticipation of the kind of material that will ap pear on a test. Working with old tests is one way to do this. Making up your own tests, as if you were the professor, is even better. If you are still stymied, try this: rearrange the basic elements of the problem until you become very familiar with THE LATEST...« 4&SH ■—-HHYIE — Bark To School I life TUC in the Latest £jffi j LIKE THE j DRESSES M ! ] " || Children's Sizes 7-14 I 1 »" D '#l£ -A Y*» AC I 1 h fTiattST mmm LiDTTTT I TIPEE-TOES DOLL I I| \ I I I I ; 3 ii She's learning to walk—Shs has a horse and U II JiiLLU |j - $12.91 I SI OF.TIIE 'l l Boys' Permanent-Press AAIJR I SHIRTS Y JjOOM * ia * i ! ------- y iiM B °y s ' Permanent-Press H UIIDERUJEHR MM DRESS-UP JEANS hm-n (You'll Like h I'-T. $2.94 the Cool 1 ! • -• | i For School, Children's , | MIX AND MATCH OUTFITS | TEE SHIRTS $3.93 Up "3) f cotton knit.

Practice in working problems through several times will help you avoid that sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach at test time, when you realize that even though you think you know your subject, you don't reallv know what to do with it. RULE .1 - REVIEW, RE VIEW. REVIEW A review is to learning what digestion is to a sumptuous dinner. One Phi Beta Kappa scholar, with a brain like a computer's, and a busy social life to boot, says his secret is the humble outline. He outlines everything, then sum marizes. and types all his notes on his portable typewriter. By typing notes, you not only gain an automatic review as you type, but your notes are easy to read, and they form a valuable reference for future use. Hav ing your own personal typewriter like the quality Lettera manufactured by Oli vetti Underwood is a big con venience for better studying, !>etter review, and better grades. Teachers prefer to read type written essays and term papers. And there is something, too, about the clear appearance of typescript that often motivates students to compose better es says in the first place. Whatever your work tools, however, re viewing material the key to efficient studying. * Farmers Urged To Help Kids Stay in School CHARLOTTE Farmer* were urged today by the De partment of Labor to help boys and gixla under 16 to flnlah their education. At the same time, the farmers will be obeying the law. Hie child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standard* Act prohibit youngsters under 16 from working on a farm during school while school Is in session. The law applies equally to local and migrant youth. "Farmers can still hire teen agers under 16 to work after school and on the weekends In non-hazardous jobs. This will help needy boys and girls earn the money necessary to stay in school," the Labor Depart ment's Wage-Hour field office supervisor, Fred E. Carlock, in Charlotte observed. "This law offers the indivi dual farmer a real chance to contribute to the betterment of our society and our coun try," says Carlock. "The fanner who encour ages these youngsters to finish school while they work part time for him will never have to feel that he knowingly did not help someone out of the vi cious cycle of poverty". Labor Department studies show how violations of this law cost the boys and girls in volved - almost half of the young farm workers were in grades well below the norm for their ages and at the age of 15, fWP| mm ■ 1 * ifl "1/^^ I & ft H; r _____^ SCIINCI PKOMAM— Left to right: Or.

"It is particularly important that this law is understood at this time as schools across the country are reopening for the new school year. Unknowingly, farmers may permit boys and gris under 16 to continue working full time. This is, of course, against the law," Car lock pointed out. "If there is a difference between State and Federal child labor standards, the high er standards apply.
