Inspire Eager To Read Difficult Books By G. CLEVELAND MYERS Having read to their children from the time these children were two or three, parents discover thal children will listen eagerly to s'ories much harder than those they can redd in the First or later gredes. Before entering school, our own children liked many stories of fourth or fifth grade vocabulary- difficult". They derived such in- terest gradually, having begun by listening to very short and easy siories. LIKE DIFFICULT STORIES When they read to their pupils or have older children rezd to them, teachers also find that the listeners like stories far more difficult than many of them can read. This raises a very practical| prodlem in teaching a child to read. After listening eagerly| to more advanced stories, the ghild may consider the average primer and first reader babyish. In the future, these books will become less simple. Already there has been progress in this direction, especially in books not ften found at school but in li- raries and book stores, also in children's magazines. APPEALS TO ALL Listeners from books that have stood the test of time, firing many of the children with the zeal to dig out for themselves Stories and fea- tures they had always found too difficult. READING TO CHILD | Parents who have companion- |ship with their children keep on | reading to them while they are in |school. In the meanwhile, these |parents find more stories, richly illustrated, that they consider not too infantile but with a vocabu- lary within their children's reach. They also provide their children with factual materials in ele- mentary science, history, geog- raph" and current events, such as appear in the newspapers and other media. These other media include mail order catalogues and news items in the local papers about persons they know. LIKE DOING Given simple pictured things tc| make from the various news- papers and adult and children's magazines, these children read in order to do. They dig out d..c:-| tions for doing tricks and solviz~ |' ~ riddles and puzzles, ard try these out to amuse their friends.

IN FAMILIES It is well knowr that over- weight appears to "run in fam- il'es." Statistics show that when both parents are stout, more than 7¢ per cent of the children can be expected to be overweight. When one parent is overweight, the figure is approximately 40 per cent. When both parents are mnor- mal weight, less than 10 per cent bf the children can be classed as beavyweight. Until a decade or so ago, heredity was held re- sponsible. Today it is believed that overweight is solely an ac- quired characteristic. An analy- sis of the food habits of fat par- ents and their fat children show fattening food habits as the chief cause. It has been found that over- weight people who had over- weight parents are able to reduce the same as those whose parents were normal weight Also, since the weight of identical twins can vary greatly, this points directly to food habits.
