Of course, the child‘s bedâ€" room, if he has it alone or with a brother or sister also studying, is often the natural place, for it can be Quiet of course carries with it a certain separateness from the genâ€" eral activities of the family. A boy or girl has to overcome an unnecesâ€" sary draw away from study if foreed to dig into a thoughtâ€"provoking secâ€" tion of history or mathematics where daily family and town interests, moâ€" mentarily more attractive because more familiar and demanding less effort, are holding sway. Where the house is too small to provide a sepaâ€" rate bedroom or study for the chiild, it is usually possible, with open| thought on the part of the grownâ€"ups to see opportunities for fixing up a corner in some room not used by the family during the evening. The din-l ning room may, if the furniture is adjusted a bit, prove just the rightf * much more it is new and precious, a something that if harmonious conditions, underâ€" «tanding, and inspiration are provided now, while these experiences are fresh to him, will unfold into a conâ€" structive sense of responsibility for trying to get their lessons while sitâ€" ting in the living room where talkâ€" ing of adults was going on, where visitors were arriving, even in some cases where a radio was holding forth, the result being a most casual attitude toward studying and certainâ€" ly little growth in actual thinking powers. True it is that a child who survives such an inharmonious enâ€" vironment may have developed tre-J mendous capacities for concentration; | but more often the child‘s budding desire to study caught by these' adverse currents and is blighted. How much surer is & coâ€"operative depth of quiet, where in a little pool of lamplight the child can get at his work and bring it to completion, then join the family in the living room with a sense of having, not a raggleâ€" taggle, but a clearâ€"cut job accomâ€" a@ watter of fact he probably has very| COnSider the little, for the beginning lessons of his | SUPPIY a ha new stage of schooling are light] Mdividual. enough, but something he has, and| Something these first days there is on his face| 23 for books, has been known to a new expression, half of rightful b!le!efltfirwm pride and half of resolute responsiâ€"| |"€ bOYy® and girls to want to read, bility.

Background and Inspiration Much more: than all of this might be said concerning the new opporâ€" tunity this "home work" offers for understanding coâ€"operation on the part of parents. The right place and conditions for study are one proof of the parents‘ desire to meet new needs; but it goes without saying that a mere perfunctory arrangement of the physical environment cannot bring &bout an inspirational atmosâ€" phere with which to surround the child. And here, says the experienced teacher, is where the skill and disâ€" cernment of the p&rent come in. It: is one thing to show "interest" in a child‘s home work by nagging him toJ go and study, threatening him with Something might be said about beauty of such surroundings. A litâ€" tle touch here and another there will make the place one in which even the most unobservant boy or girl will unconsciously find more enjoyment in studying. Perhaps, indeed, the very arrangement and finishing touches of this place will offer a chance for parâ€" ent and child to do together a little interior planning that will not only let the child feel it is "his place" but also will be an inspiration to the child toward caring more for home attractiveness. | consider the needs of the child will supply a harmonious place for each individual. leap off in the morning (where also he can have a dictionary and a good book of synonyms and such reference works as his study calls for are far easier to provide than they seem to be at first blush.
