Gift Idea — Easy-To-Play Organ In the days of “parlors,” the old foot pump organ was the focal point of interest, and usually one member of the family could play it. Today’s organ is hardy and versatile. It goes wherever there is an electric out let—living room, den, patio or playroom—and everybody can play it, from tiny tots to grandpa, and drop-in guests. Electronics made the organ overyman’s instrument, for electronics made the Chord organ possible—a desk-size instrument, with buttons on the left hand side that let you make full chords with one finger, and one foot pedal that brings in the right bass automatically. One finger of the right hand plays the melody, following either picture or standard music. Anyone who can follow a simple diagram can play beautiful music on the Chord organ in 20 minutes. For music in your home, and for that gift you plan to give for graduation, wedding or anniversary, consider the organ that gives everyone a “talent" for playing. Yoa can sec it and play it at your music store.

Typewriters Help Solve Homework Problems vj|B ✓ Do you help your c.iild pet better gradesV Doing Junior's homework is one way to pet him on the honor roll ... if you're a star student yourself, but modern parents have di-cov ered that a typewriter is more help than an answer book. Controlled classroom experi ments prove that a child not only pets better grades when he types his assignments, but he takes a livelier interest in his work. A number of schools across the coun try have participated in an experi mental propram of introducinp the typewriter to pupils in the elemen tary school. Children as young as four or five peck out their names and learn their numbers on a type writer, and are doing all their work on the typewriter by the time they are nine or ten years of ape. Their work is compared with chil dren of the same apes doinp ex actly the same work without a typewriter, and the children who type do consistently better work than those who write their asrfpn ments. , Children who have bean doinp poor work show marked improve ment after lcaminp to type. Part of the reason for this improve ment lies .. the resemblance of the typed pape to the printed pape, as opposed to the complete difference in hand writ inp and printinp. Also, writing is hard work for a younp child, and his mind often outraces his finders When writing becomes a simple matter of tappinp a key, a serious obstacle to expression is removed. Accordinp to the Educational Department of the Royal Type writer Company which is currently cclebratinp its fiftieth anniversary, typing improves spelling, reading, and even handwriting. The chil dren show a spirited interest in the typewriters, and are proud of their ability to operate a “grown-up” machine. They seem to prefer por table to standard models, and fre quently persuade their parents to buy s typewriter to supplement the typing practice they get at school. Whether your child is a prodigy or a normal kid. don’t shoo him from the typewriter. Tench him to use it and take care of it, and his progress will amaze you.
