BANS RED NEWSPAPERS
—.The Posi Office Department
has recently stopped the delivery
of the Soviet publications Pravda
and Izvestia to most United
States subscribers. Acting under
a legal opinion from the Justice
Department, postal officials have
been confiscating and destroying
copies of the two Soviet publi
cations as part of a program
aimed at choking off the flow
of Communist propaganda into
the United States.

Fay: “No, but she gave him

Parents Aid Suggested j
In Preparing Children
For First Grade
Editors note: The following
information was prepared by
Mrs. Pearl Moyer, first grade
teacher at Central School, to
assist parents in the question
of “What and bow much should
I teach my child before he goes
to school for the first time."
The article will be printed and
sent to parents of pre-school
age children in the near future.
What preparation for first grade
is recommended?
What should a child know before
beginning school?
There is so much which parents
can purposely do to prepare their
children for school.
Sometimes parents say to me—
at the beginning of a new school
year—“I didn’t teach Mary—or
Jimmy anything because I knew
that teachers would ratner not
have parents teach their chil
dren at home.” Frankly, I al
ways hope thy didn’t mean wh^t
they said. *
Actually there is no restriction
on what you should teach yoUr
child in the academic field be
fore entering him in school. Your
own wisdom and your own
child’s readiness will check you,
should you venture too far.
The only thing we ask parents
not to do is- to either give their
child or use in any way—our be
ginning text-books.
As briefly as I can I shall give
you a list of experiences and
skills which will help your child
get off to a good start.

count from one to ten, at least,
and have some idea of what
quantitive numbers mean.
Twenty percent of our new en
trants can count to 100 — some
can not count to three and have
no idea what numbers mean.
(2) They should have had
plenty of experience in crayon
coloring to develop motor control
ar.d eye-hand coordination.
Plenty of experience of free
hand drawing on large wrapping
paper is good. Let it be entirely
child-directed. You give them
the opportunity—let them have
the thrill of expressing themsel
ves on paper. Never laugh at or
criticize a child’s drawing.
(3) Before a child is ready for
school he should have an inter
est in books. This can be devel
oped by telling stories and read
ing to your pre-school children.
Let them talk about the stories
and pictures they see. Stimulate
their creative thinking and im
agination by asking thought
questions.
(4) Let your child become
thoroughly acquainted with
many nursery rhymes and songs,
memorizing if possible. Develop
their consciousness of rhyming
sounds—of consonant allitera
tions and of rythm. All this can
be done through the use of
Mother Goose and other charm
ing „ childrens’ literature and
songs. This is a must for foun
dation in phonics.*
(5) You can teach your child
to write his first name. But he
should make only the first let
ter a capital. The rest should be
lower case letters written in
simple manuscript. Circles, half
circles, and down strokes. It
helps a lot for the child to be
able to write his name as you can
well imagine in a room full of
little children.
(6) Along with a child’s inter
est in his name may come an
early interest in letters and other
isolated words he sees: ‘Pet Milk’
on the milk can; ‘Sunny Jim’ on
the peanut butter jar; ‘Snow
flake’ on the cracker bcx—or
‘Zoom’ on the cereal box. It does
not hurt him to be told the
names of the letters or these
words if he is interested. It is a
good sign of ‘Reading-Readiness’.
(7) To be ready for school a
child should speak clearly. This
year I have had five children
with speech defects four of
them major defects. The new
first graders should have out
grown all baby talk and develop
ed a good speaking vocabulary.
They should have overcome any
habits such as thumb-sucking.
8) They should be able to take
care of their lavatory needs—
wash their fact and hands—and
take care of their little noses.
They should be able to tie their
shoe strings.
(9) They will need to put on
and take off their own coats and
overshoes—zip up and button up
—as well as put these things
neatly away in the closet. We
appreciate parents’ cooperation
in providing children with cloth
es they can manage. Many multi
plied minutes are lost helping
children with tight overshoes—
locked zippers—knots in tie
strongs and fastening safety pins
in coats and caps where buttons
ought to be.
(10) The children coming to
first grade should have had
plenty of opportunity for happy
playing with other children—
and an occasional absence from
any and all members of their
immediate family, to prepare
them for the social adjustment of
school.
(11) Last but not least—don't
let anyone tease your child about
coming to school. Don’t let any
one fill him with fear of this
unknown experience — telling
him how tough the teacher is
going to be. It might be funny to
some adults to see his reaction
but it will be measureless harm
to your child and retard his pro
gress. Let him know that school
will be a happy experience of
adventure in cooperation and
learning with others.

PACIFIC FLEET
. In a statement which left the
Chinese Reds guessing, Admiral
Felix B. Stump Commander of
the U. S. Pacific Fleet, declared,,
“If the United States is willing,,
we can defend anything against
the Communist.” The Admiral
did not specifically mention the
Communist-menaced Matsu Is
lands, .however, but it was un
derstood that his “anything” in
cluded them, if orders were given,
to protect them.
