Grades Training for a young actor is begun early. From the moment he enters school a student develops a thirst after knowledge which sustains him through drill after drill of the fundamentals, with the certainty that possession of these skills will enable him to use his own initiative later and make real contributions to his world. In the first grade he is introduced to simplest reading, addition, subtraction, and ever learns to print. How- thrilling then, in the second grade, to be allowed to write and to have spelling and learn the basic truths of hy- giene. The study of English grammar begins in the third grade and how eagerly young minds seek the difference bet- ween was and were. One must learn his multiplication tables too, or trouble really begins. The fourth grade brings that awesome course called geography and also an introduction to fractions and div- tion. History, My Country , is new to fifth graders and they also receive valuable training in art by the use of watercolors . The Old World sinks its roots into the mind of sixth graders for they receive instruction in both its history and geography. On the other hand, the seventh grade bring a student up to date, giving him basic instruction in the history, geography, and government. Armed with seven years ' accumulation of knowledge and a new feeling of maturity the students can now face the challenge of high school with the assurance that success can be his. 29
