Know we just can’t give a free hand
and allow him to touch everything
regardless, but it is often easier and
more effective to take the time to
satisfy the strong instinct by allow
ing the child to touch something than
constantly saying “no, no.” Usually
a feel of the desirable with a little
word of explanation that the object
is not for baby sometimes satisfies
him. putting it out of reach is for
bidding it only makes it seem more
desirable.
Hearing—this sense develops rap
idly—even a very young baby stops
crying at the sound of soft endear
ing words. In this noisy world today
children have to learn what to listen
for We may provide the child with
good music, good speech, good sound
—or we may so deaden his sense of
hearing with over stimulation that
he pays no attention to anything. I
have had opportunity in the last few
years to listen to a great number of
people talk, both in public and in
private and I am distressed that
there are so few really pleasing voic
es. Most of them are high and tinny,
or rasping or gutteral—even young
voices. (Just this week in listening
to th© war reporters—how very few
have voices we like to hear. The young
child is like a recording machine. He
only gives back to you the tones and
languages he hears. What are you
saying to him ?
Sight—lt is said that we take in
more learning through our eyes than
any other source. And I can easily
believe this is true from my own
rather small knowledge of life. Such
expressions as “eye witness,” “1 saw
it with my own eyes,” and the like
only emphasize the all importance of
seeing.
It is through the eyes that we re
ceive the impressions of color, the
sizes and shapes of things, beauty
of form and proportion. There is so
much beauty in the world—especi
ally in the country and in Baker
county. But people don’t see beauty
without looking for it. We have to
learn to see. I was on a bus not long

between Valdosta and Macon. I was

Correct exposure, as in this snapshot, yields more pleasing pictures.
Use an exposure guide.
SWINGING out of autumn, why not
pause for a moment to total up
your season’s picture-score, before
you dive into the fun of this winter’s
picture-taking?
Take your recent prints, figure
out your batting average,, determine
your most frequent mistakes —and
you will be better able to avoid
those errors in the future.
How many times were you "struck
out” by underexposure? Bring out
those underexposed films, and study
them. Are they mostly early-morn
ing or late-afternoon shots? If so,
you should watch the sun more
carefully. When it is near the hori
zon, and begins to take on a yellow
tinge, ite light is much weaker —and
you should compensate by using
a wider lens opening, or a slower
ehutter speed.
Did you underexpose on cloudy
days? Light is weaker then. The lat
itude of modern films will take care
of reasonable errors in exposure,
but on a dull day it’s always safe
to open up the lens to the next larger
mark—f. 6.3 instead of f.B, for ex
ample.
If you underexposed on bright,
sunny days, when the light was at
its best, you were simply using too
email a lens opening for your shut-
ora ma, and the bus whizzed by farm
and village. It was a great surprise
and disappointment to me, as we
pulled into Macon at dusk, to have
my seat mate, an older and much
more traveled woman than I stretch
herself and say “that was the most
boring, monotonous ride I ever had,
what a desolate country.” I am glad
my father taught me to see beauty
in the pattern of a newly plowed
field! Besides the things to see in the
life about the home you can give
your child good pictures—how full of
good pictures our books and maga
zines are today. We have little ex
cuse for not giving them the best.
Providing opportunity for devel
oping judgement—how does one do
it? Perhaps the best way is allowing
the child to make decisions for him
self. He may rfiake some mistakes
which may hurt him for the moment
and may waste some material and
time—but out of the experience he
gains a personal knowledge which is
invaluable. We want our children to
meet life with confidence and assur
ance. It is hard enough in places ev
en with this—so we must untie the
apron strings and give them oppor
tunity and freedom. Easy at first,
always with sympathetic insight —
which our older experience gives us,
but let’s let them have the thrill of
reasoning, too.
Ancients Were Good Builders
An aqueduct *ver 2,000 years old
helps bring drinking water into Ath
ens. But the ancients built these
arches well, says a writer in the
Washington Post. Some in Europe,
raised by Romans before Christ was
born, serve as railroad bridges. To
supply cities, Greek and Roman en
gineers chose a reservoir at a high
altitude. They let gravity pull the
water downhill by building aque
ducts through hills and over valleys.
Thus, in 600 B. C., the old Greeks
bored a mile-long aqueduct through
a mountain to brin" w?ter into
Samos.
Dove Tree From China
The dove tree was discovered in
China in 1869 and introduced into
England in 1902. It was brought to
the United States in 1904 to the Ar
nold Arboretum. It is hardy as far
north as Massachusetts. The flow
ers are in dense heads surrounded
by very large cream white bracts
arranged in such away as to re
semble a white dove.
ter speed. An Inexpensive pocket
exposure guide will help protect you
from such errors—get one, and use
it on every camera excursion. They
cost but little —and some are given
away free.
How about blurred pictures, from
subject movement or camera un
steadiness? Here's an easy cure.
Just use a higher shutter speed.
If your customary exposure is 1/25
second at f.ll, try using 1/50 sec
ond at f.B or even 1/100 second at
f. 6.3. And another point: when you
press the shutter release, don’t jerk.
Hold the camera firmly, push the
release easily. Pretend you're firing
a rifle at a distant target, and the
shutter release lever is the trigger.
Are your pictures framed cor
rectly? Do they show what you ex
pected? If not, watch that view
finder! It gives you a "preview” of
the picture. Is focusing correct, de
tails sharply defined? If not, prac
tice judging distance, so you can
set the camera scale correctly—and
try using a tape measure or range
finder for close-ups.
A picture Inventory is good camera
training. Check your summer snaps
—note down your “weak spots”—
and you’re better set for a successful
winter snapshot season.
