Curiosity, the foundation for learning For those of us who have curios- ity-oriented personalities, a missing piece to any puzzle, literal or alle- gorical is like waving a flag in front of a bull. We become totally enmeshed in finding that elusive piece. Some curious-type people are investigative detectives, some are journalists, and still others are researchers or scientists. There are even those individuals who pursue the solving of puzzles as a hobby. Aren't we thankful for their relent- less curiosity? Were it not for the curiosity of Thomas Edison we would not enjoy the luxury of elec- tric lights and all the other electrical gadgets. Curiosity leads our young children to constantly ask, "Why?" We sometimes tire of that often repeated word. If we can just remember to catch a glimmer of where the child is headed with that question, we can be thankful for the curious mind. Curiosity often leads to knowledge. Sometimes we get mixed up and think that the knowledge must come first. Those who have been in the teaching field any amount of time come to know that curiosity and motivation are the precursors to acquiring, retaining and acting on knowledge. We realize that as teachers we cannot act only as a mother bird, dropping "worms" of knowledge into the waiting infant bird mouths of stu- dents. Part of the job is to motivate those little bird students to leave the nest and fly. Knowledge alone does- n't cut it; knowledge with- out motivation is just so much information in a stor- age building. Knowledge must be approached with critical thinking, analyzing, comparing and testing to be profitable. It is only by careful examination of the information taken into our minds that it can become truly use- ful. There is always the Carolyn Barber Teachers and other employees often attend in-service trainings or conferences sponsored by various organizations. hope of learning something new or helpful. Sometimes we hope for a "quick fix" of a problem or a sure fire way of teaching every person to read. The reality is that we may pick up some tips on doing our jobs better. The total solution to every task will not be presented. It is important to remember that all of what is taught is not all there is to know. Most writers and pre- Antique bottle show senters have a bias and will tailor their presentations around that bias. Sometimes we listeners share that bias and the information is something we can internalize and use. Other times we can use only bits and pieces. I like the eclectic approach, a well rounded approach, one that uses the best of all methods. If we blindly accept a method, an approach or a solution as a whole, we may forget to look at other options which will work for unique individ- uals. The simple definition of knowl- edge includes an organized body of information in contrast, wisdom is defined simply as being wise; soundness of judgment. It has been said that lifetime growth is much more than a classroom issue. Its boundaries spread far beyond acad- eme. Lifetime growth is inextrica- bly intertwined with the idea of vital curiosity.

Heedless hubby halts habitual hailing Dear Annie: Six years ago, I married "Richard.'' He is a wonderful, caring, good-looking man. We returned from our honey- moon to find out he had lost his job.

Bounds Dismissed From Police Force At Sacramento Local officers say A. B. Bounds, probationary officer recently appointed and just dismissed from the Sacramento police department, is having his share of ill luck. According to word from the capital city, he was released by Chief of Police Barney McShane for failure to meet the requirements of an officer and alleged irregularities in his record filed with the civil services commission. — Jan. 28, 1922 Richard has to travel out of state a great deal. He currently rents a home with four other co-work- ers. It's about three hours away, and he comes home on the weekends. After work, the guys meet up for dinner and a couple of beers. The only demand I place on Richard is that he call home and check in once he gets settled for the night. I work a long day and have a 10-year-old and three dogs at home. Sometimes, Richard does- n't call.

He'll say he was sleeping. When I ask why he didn't call as promised, he claims he was tired. The miles between us take away any control I have to check the possibil- ities. Richard says I'm overreacting and being childish. I have asked what has him so preoccu- pied that he neglects to call, but he can't give me an answer. How should I handle this the next time it happens? — Hands Tied in Michigan Dear Michigan: Richard may avoid night- ly phone calls because he is "otherwise engaged,'' but more likely, he is tired and reluctant to deal with what's going on at home. Don't wait until the next time. When Richard comes home for the week- end, schedule a quiet chat. As sweetly as you can manage, tell him that you look forward to his call all day, and when he doesn't phone and you can't reach him, you worry. This makes you stressed, makes him resentful and, over time, will eat away at your marriage. Dear Annie: My 46- year-old brother died recently. Knowing he had very little money other than his life insurance policy, my entire family paid a good amount toward the funeral. Several aunts said they sent large memorial checks but never received any acknowledge- ment. I sent a generous check to cover the cost of the death notice in the newspaper, as well as other expenses. Today, I got a bill in the mail for the death notice. I will pay it, but thought I would copy the bill and send it to my sister-in-law so she knows. ones addressed to our entire family? A lot of hurt feelings are accumu- lating because of my sis- ter-in-law's behavior. — Will Be Grieving a Long Time Dear Grieving: Annie's Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar You've been very gener- ous, but your sister-in-law is probably overwhelmed dealing with her hus- band's death and the emo- tional welfare of her chil- dren. Why not offer to come over and help her write the thank- you notes? Bring dinner. We think she'd appreciate it. Dear Annie: "California'' com- plained that her husband liked to cook but often ruined her cook- ware. I'll take him! My husband of 22 years was a cheat- ing alcoholic who rarely made it home to eat dinner with the kids and me. "Califor- nia'' should count her blessings. — I'll Take Your Slob Dear Take: Thanks for After complaining that she had no money, I saw my sister-in-law buying the kids new toys and clothes. She also bought a new car, although she needed one. None of this would matter if she would take my phone calls, but she won't speak to me directly. She will only text. Am I wrong to expect a thank you? Should our family have been included in reading the cards peo- ple sent — especially Newly Remodeled!
