The teachers gain time tor; spend with pupils who need them most. The principal solves his teacher shortage. These conclusions emerged Thursday at a news summarizing the first year of an experiment in education at Pacoima Elementary School in north-central Los Angeles. This year, fifth 'and sixth graders have tutored kindergarten and first a a grade de pupils.

Next year, all grades will be involved. "Most of what kids learn comes from other kids anyway," said Dr. Ralph J. ragne, one of the project directors. "We're capitalizing on this.

"One of the great needs in education is for more individual instruction. This is the best and least expensive way we've found of providing it. "Instead of one teacher for 30 children, we now have one for every five or six. The tutors are warm and close to the younger children, but they make them work." The student tutors receive several weeks of instruction before they are assigned to duty. "For example," said ragne, "we don't let them say to the little ones, 'You're When mistakes made, the tutors simply tell them what the correct answer is."

(UPI)The love seat, popular in Victorian times, is making comeback, romance ha' nothing to do with it. Producers of love seats who attended the Southern Furniture Market attributed the renewed interest in love seats to the smaller size of rooms caused by higher building costs. Another reason 1 is a changing attitude about how one should entertain guests in the home. Years ago when television sets began appearing in American homes, the ultra-long sofa became popular because there was plenty of room for the family and any guests who happened to drop in to sit on it to watch the tube. "Who watches television If guests come in now?" asked one manufacturer of love seats.

"What we need now are more conversation, groups. It's awfully difficult for more than two persons to talk comfortably on any size "This is where the love seat fits in perfectly. Two love seatsi or one love seat and two chairs make an ideal conversation grouping, and many more imaginative arrangements are possible than with just the larger sofa, which usually can be used in only one area of room." Renewed interest in the love seats began increasing less than two years ago. Gilliam Furniture Co. reported its love seat orders are "up probably 10 times over a year and a half ago." "We realized the tremendous upsurge in love seats when the big buying syndicates ordered heavily in these lines," spokesman for Gilliam said.

"They reported widespread interest throughout the country these smaller seating pieces." Local Man In Vietnam Promoted To Sergeant Paul Carmany, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Carmany, 369 N. Eleventh has been promoted to sergeant while serving with the U. S.
