Youngster Who's Lazy
Could Use Guidance
By CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Ph.D.
I'M always very hopeful of the |
educational future of the child
who excels in reading. In his high
skill at getting meaning from the
printed page will center the larger >
portion of his later school learn-1
lng. It's the hub of his learning
wheel.
A rexas mother writes:
"Dear Dr. Myers. 1 always read
your articles and am now writing
in regard to my eleven-year-old
boy who doesn't seem to have any
energy.
Wants to Road 4
"He wants to read, and that's
about all he wants to do besides
play. Of course he is an excellent
reader, has good understanding
of what he reads, and does well
In school in subjects that require
reading. But in subjects where
writing is required, he just has
to be forced to bring them up.
"He left out a lot of his multi
plication problems on his mid
term exam. He said he got so tired
that be couldn't write any more.
He doesn't want to do anything
that takes energy; in fact, he
gripes if he is called on to do any j
work unless it is to his liking. He
doesn't get along too well with Us
teachers, and he hates school.
An Only Child
"He Is an only child, weighs
around 120 pounds, and Is con
sidered fat,
1 "He makes flood grade! on his
report card, but has received an
? on Hfort' several times since
Us first year in school. He Is slow
I "I tried your plan of placing
the clock where he could see the
time, and telling him that It was
up to him to get off on time and
that punishment of some sort
would follow if he didn't. And U
was working ? but now he rtilcs
to school with his dad and doesn't
ride the bus. which makes It
harder for the plan to work."
My reply In part:
I assume that you have your
overweight son under the doctor's
care, since you say he lacks
energy.
Should Be Hopeful
It Is wonderful that he Is such
a good reader. You ought to be
hopeful about helping him in
other subjects. Perhaps you
should have a tutor to help him
In his slow subjects.
Since he Is such a poor hand*
writer, It would be wonderful to
prevail on him to practice dally
at writing a few lines, slowly and
carefully, under a good model you
would provide for him. Set a few '
regular Jobs about the home he
can't escape doing promptly.
Since the school morning prob
lem was so easily solved until his
father began taking him, why
should not the father set a defi
nite time by the clock when he
will leave hornet Then you could
hold the boy to this very easily.

ibservance is being sponsored
loinily by the Haywood County ;
soil Supervisors and the Haywood <
bounty Ministerial Association. ,
Herschell Sogers, chairman of ,
:he Haywood County Soil Conserv- ,
ition District, commented:
Soil Stewardship'Sunday is a \ (
lay set aside to renew on the
Lord's Dav our pledge to preserve ,
i great heritage?the soil, from ,
which all our riches arc born. On (
[his day ministers, priests and rab
bis throughout the nation will de- ,
liver sermons on our duties as

ed by the way we conserve and im
prove it."
Car Inspection
(Continued from Pace 1)
I
the program may be extended if .
it is believed advisable, Chief
Noland said. ?
Two cars will be inspected at j
one time at the checking station,
with about 4*2 minutes required
for each vehicle. To be checked
are the brakes, front lights, rear
lights, steering system, tires, ex
haust system, glass, windshield |
wipers, rear view mirror, and horn, j
One inspection report will be !
kept by the checking station, the j
other will be given to the owner
of the vehicle, who will be urged
to go to the garage or service sta
tion of his choice to have any de
fects corrected.
Waynesville was one of 10 towns
in North Carolina chosen to con
duct the program. However, the
program was extended to cover the
county in accordance with the cus
tom of so doing in towns of less
than 10.000 population.
The voluntary inspection pro
gram is being "conducted through
out the country by the National
Safety Council. Look magazine,
and the Inter-Industry Highway
