A — (a). The Bureau is part of
the Department of Health Edu-

the Bureau of Family Service
was known as the Bureau of Pub-

Q — True or false. All needy
aged in the United States can ob-

such help depends on whether or
not the person's own state has
agreed to participate in the fed-
eral program for medical assis-

as the Kerr-Mills Act of 1960).
As of Feb. 1, 1962, 23 states,

his mind stopped wandering. He did his work faster
and more accurately.
The mother realized she had succeeded one day
when the boy burst out of his room: “I finished my
homework in 20 minutes. It used to take me 45.
And all the answers are right!”
The principles this mother taught her boy, which
brought him back on the path to success, are the
same whether a student works problems in arith-
metic. trigonometry, calculus, chemistry or physics.
If these habits are acquired in arithmetic, the
other subjects seem much easier.
A college girl of my acquaintance came home dis-
couraged. Ittook her too long to get supplemental
reading done, she explained, and she was losing
sleep.
Her father checked her reading speed. It was
250 words per minute. He arranged for help in
reading. Improvement was rapid. Her reading
speed became four times as fast. She went back to
college with a .iew outlook.
Parehts should be watchful. Students do not rec-
ognize their own lack of skill.
