NOBLE EXPERIMENT—Children reading comic books as pari
of regular class work in a Chicago school. Teachers report rapid
progress as result.
CHICAGO — These kids read
comic books in school.
In an experiment conducted at
Holy Name Cathedral grammar
school, youngsters read colored
comic books with teacher’s per
mission. Their teacher says it is
proving an aid to their education.
It was found that children who
read comic books improve their
reading ability.
Of course, the school-sanctioned
comics feature gentle fairy stories.
Blood and thunder stories are
taboo. “Uncle Charlie’s Fables” is
used as text.
' In every story the kids are the
hero and heroine. They win out
over evil because they practice
the ordinary virtues of honesty,
industry and courage. The stories
have enough excitement to in
trigue the children but with happy
endings.
The third and fourth graders
are called on to real aloud. The
class is under the direction of
Sister Mary Victorice, who in
cludes the comic book in regular
classwork.
The dialogue in the books is
written in good grammar. The art

of merit for outstanding work in
cancer control at ceremonies to

work inspires them to try their
hand at it. Two weeks after the
first book had been studied, the
j teacher asked the children to draw

“It was amazing,” Sister Mary
Victorice said, “to find that they

i
of castles, moats, drawbridges and
ships.”

“What do you
do with all the
V
f
money you make?”
Standard’s income sometimes raises
such comments as: "You people do a lot
of business. You must be rolling in dough.
How about answering this one— What do
you do with all the money you make?”
The answer is a matter of public
record. But in brief—after we’ve paid
for materials, wages, employee benefits,
and miscellaneous expenses...wear and •
tear on plants and equipment...interest
on our long-term debts.. .and, in the last
5 years, more than $405,000,000in taxes
—then what’s left, the "money we
make,” goes this way: ,

We invest in research and
technical service — more than
$35,000,000 in the last 5 years—to
develop better ways of finding oil,
increasing the yield, cutting costs,
creating new business. That brings
you new and improved products,

Exploration here and
abroad has cost us more than
$229,000,000 in the last 5
years. Known crude reserves
are at an all-time high. But
these deposits were the easiest
to discover. Though the earth
holds vast hidden reserves, it
now costs many millions to
find each new field
And finally, after setting aside
funds for future operation, our
more than 100,000 sharehold
ers get what money remains—
last year $2.60 a share, their
return on savings invested in
Standard. So almost all the
“money we make” goes right
back into circulation.
