THE YOUNG CITIZEN October, 1940 r CHATS with the EDITOR 1 EVERYONE likes praise, especially when it comes honestly and unsolicited. In this Chat we are quoting excerpts from some of the letters recently received. We believe our readers will be interested in reading tbese excerpts, so here they are: Tay ab as, Tayabas - THE YouNG CITIZEN is a magazine read by thousands of teachers and pupils all over the Philippines.Fabian A. Obispo. Paco, Manila, P. 1.-I am a constant reader of THE YouNG CITIZEN. I find it very useful for teachers, very valuable for pupils, and very entertaining f~r young . folks. It has helped me much in my work, as I find it contains many interesting materials for classroom activities. Your magazine provides for primary teachers devices, games, stories, poems, and other materials which make their work more interesting and their teaching more effective. Through your magazine many teachers profit by the knowledge and experience of other teachers.-Francisca P. Bautista. . . . Torrijos, Marinduque-I am glad to say that your magazine, THE YouNG CITIZEN, has really proved its worth. It is a favorite among my Grade Four pupils.Ernesto R. Barbosa. Libmanan, Camarines Sur-I am glad my school has subscribed for THE YouNG CITIZEN. We receive thirty-one (31) ·copies of each issue.-Anastacio Cacniller. Sibulan, Oriental Negros-We subscribe for 26 copies of each issue of THE YouNG C1TizEN for the library at our Central School, and one for each of the three barrio schools.-Timoteo S. Oracion. Antipolo, Mambusao, CapizWe receive your magazine, THE YOUNG CITIZEN, at my school each month. My pupils enjoy it very •much. I often read it myself after classes. Sometimes I read from it to our pupils during our opening exercises.-Amando P. Custodio. New Washiogton, Capiz-Our school subscribes for ~o copies per issue of THE YouNG C1nzEN which rotate like a· set of supple.mentary readers. ManY of our teachers believe that because of the variety and usefulness of the material of THE YouNG CITIZEN, a Set of copies of this magazine is more valuable as reading material than a set of supplementary readers.-, Luis M. Enriquez. Manila, P. I.-While on vacation this summer, I had the privilege of reading your very interesting magazine, THE YouNG C1TIzEN. I found the issues which I read entertaining and enjoyable. I consider this magazine as one of the best of its kind in the education of our youth. Since this magazine is a new discovery to me, our school has not been subscribirig for it, but . during the coming school year I shall introduce the magazine to our school.-Elias de Jesus Umali. Iligan, Lanao--I enjoy and appreciate your magaiine, THE Yo UNG C1TizEN. l\!Iore than that, it is gaining in popular.ity among my pupils, who are vety much. in-· terested in it. As we do not rece~ve enough copies of each issue for the entire class, each one tries to' finish his seatwork "ahead ef t°he others so that he can. have a copy of THE YouNG CITIZEN. My pupils enjoy reading the stories, poems, and jokes. They like to work the puzzles. They answer the questions at the end of m_any of the articles. Once our Division Superintendent of Schciols came to observe my work. My Grade Two pupils had finished their seatwork ahead of time, and many of them were busy reading THE YoUNG C1T1zEN. Each timf a pupil found a difficult word in a story; "he came to me for help. I could hardly conduct my recitation with the Grade One pupils because so many of the second graders were asking for help in reading THE YOUNG CITIZEN. ·· I thought I would be severely criticized for this by my superintendent, but instead the superintendent was pleased because . the second graders were reading the magazine and asking help for any difficulty they met. This incident shows that THE YouNG CITIZEN is loved, valued, and appreciated by pupils and school offi.ciais.-Lourdes L. Galeno. Again, your Editor wishes to thank our m<tny friends for their encouragement and support. If you like THE YouNG CITIZEN, write and tell us so. Goodbre.-THE EDITOR.
