You, Your Child and School By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Your child's placement for next year is an important concern to him, yourself, and school officials. Each school system has developed a phy for grouping children most effectively for learning. School population and size often dictate the numer of students in each class and the possible number of classes, The number of students assigned to each teacher has many implications for instruclion, Most educators feel that elementary teacher can twenty five quite adequately. When the number rises above thirty, the quality of instruction suffers. In the secondary school the suggested number varies with the subject.

A laboratory class needs close supervision, while a lecture class may be quite large. Specific research does not appear to be conclusive. The proper class size depends upon the method of teaching and is closely related to the aims of the program. You often hear reference 1 to homogeneous or heterogeneous grouping. Homogeneous grouping means.

arrangement of classes with emphasis upon sameness. Children with similar ability and performance are placed together. Those in favor of this method claim that the teacher can more easily reach the group. She will adjust her instruction to the level of each section. Opponents indicate that there is a lack of stimulation in slow groups, There is also a COLUMN ON TEEN SCENE Teens Have Much Doing On Weekend LEVEDA SMITH By LEVEDA This promises to be one of the most active weekends of the year.

As the school year draws to a close, pre graduation parties, dances, proms and club meetings will fill the calendar. Final music concerts, senior class plays and election of class and club officers for the coming year mean that the school year is really ending. But the most reliable sign of the approaching end can be heard from soon be departing seniors who roam the halls fighting spring fever and muttering "Only 44 days to go!" Last Saturday, I was in Steubenville with the New Philatook part quiz. Later delphia scholastic, team which Corbin Miller Dover, encyclopedia salesman, who travels throughout 6 Ohio and 3 West counties, asked if we'd like to see some papier-mache figures on display in the Steubenville Library. We consented, secretly expecting to see a few crude, small masks or wobbly statues.

We were surprised. Frostie Bianco, who makes the beautiful figurines, is a true artist. Her figures turn the Children's Liinto a storybook world complete with Mother Goose. brary, Figures from The Farmer in the Dell fill niches in the walls. The 7 dwarfs from the Snow White tale parade across a bookcase flanked by a stack of foot-stool sized turtles from Dr.

Seuss's Yertle the Turtle. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy gaze on another Seuss character, the elephant named I Horton from Horton Hatches the Egg. Alladin and his magic Genii perch on a corner bookcase beside Abraham Lincoln and Little Black Sambo. The head librarian told us the figures are rotated regularly through the main and branch libraries so that every youngster in the system will get an opportunity to see them. A storage room is filled with Christmas figurines awailing next year's holiday season, and SMITH Mrs.

Blanco's workshop Is littered with the makings of an Egg Tree for Easter. Upstairs, samples of her amazing talent appear in the 3 main reading rooms. Busts of Lincoln and John Kennedy that look like finely-worked bronze look down on the juvenile book section, while Yul Brynner the costume he wore for "The King and supervises the card catalog. David and Goliath guard the entrance to the non-fiction reading room, while Shakespeare's 3 Witches from Macbeth and Sherlock Holmes flank the doorway to the fiction lounge area. Mrs.

Bianco is a salaried employe of the library, and she spends all her time working on the figures to illustrate the joys of reading. She has. been offered throughout the world and much money for figures already completed to ones she might contract, with no response. As the library employes explained it to us, for she was not present during our tour, Mrs. Bianco would rather live and work in Steubenville than move.

She refuses to sell her works because, as she puts it: "They're a part of me, part of my family." "Miller is making arrangements for Mrs. Bianco's figures to appear in the next edition of World Book's Childcraft children's encyclopedia so youngsters everywhere can share her talent. There probably are people in Steubenville who aren't aware of this treasure in their backyard, but, as the librarian said: "Every time a youngster walks in wide-eyed and wondering, we know her message is getting through."

"I think the most important part of our trip will be the time we spend in the Iron Curtain countries." Ellen, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Joseph Page of 939 Oak st. NW, almost didn't get to go on the tour. "After I found out I'd been selected, I had to write to Bowling Green (where she plans to enter college this fall) and find out if there was any way I could go to college and also go to Europe," she explained. "When I told the guidance advisor at Bowling Green I had a chance to go to Europe, he told me to take it, that they'd Ind Youngest Romeo, Italian movie director Franco Zeffirelli selected Leonard Whiting, 17, (L), and Olivia Hussey, 15, as the youngest Romeo and Juliet ever to appear in Shakespegre's famous love story. Zeffirelli auditioned over 500 girls for the Paramount production before choosing Olivia.

"They are exactly what Shakespeare would have wanted," Zeffirelli claims. "The kids in the story are very like the teenagers of today--they don't want to be involved in adult hates and wars. This is what I have tried to bring out in the film."

You will find that most teachers will group by ability within their class ing groups, Remember that encouragement and security are tant. You should be realistic. Do not be so naive as to think that you or the school can hide a child's ability from himself.

Dover St. Joseph Students to Hear. Career Day Talk stigma attached to each whether they be slow or fast. Heterogeneous grouping is a mixed type in that classes are arranged to include students with a variety of ability levels, Those in favor of this method indicate that the situation is life like and important to social adjustment. Opponents claim that the vast differences are most difficult for the teacher to handle.

In reality there are many logical arguments on both sides. Again research has not offered any proof. The experiments to date have been most contradictory. Where does this leave you as a parent? The philosophy which the school chooses is a professional matter. Your interest, in either case, is naturally the proper placement of your child.

Your attitude towards the teacher and the group is an important factor. In the homogeneous group situation, it is important that you don't emphasize the competitive angle. Neither you nor the school should attempt to hide the level of the group. You should indicate to children in the slow groups that this will give them an opportunity to learn more easily. An attitude of confidence on your part will go a long way towards providing security for the child.

The students in the top groups should realize that with their ability goes responsibility. Parents should always let children know. that love is not dependent upon ability. CANTON-Oregon Sen.
