Trouble in Learning to Read Harms Child Psychologically

ty HERMAN N. WNWSEN, M.B. IT is estimated that 10 to 15 per cent of the American school children have trouble with the reading part of the three B’s. They are unable to read at their proper school level, yet they perform adequately in other tasks where reading is not involved. Many children are taken to their family physic'ans because of this difficulty in order to determine whether or not they are backward. _ . _ . ■ “Sight” Method There are those who believe that the “sight” method of teaching reading that is currently used in the school must be held partly responsible for the increase in poor readers. The normal child learns to read more quiekly by this method, in which he is expected to grasp the meaning of whole words. However, a child with a reading difficulty is at a disadvantage and usually needs additional teaching in sound word elements • or phonics. In fact, in certain countries where children are taught to read by the sounds of the letters which make up the words, reading disorders are far less common than in those counItriea that do not use this teachl*sng method. Dangeroa* Psychological Effects A reading difficulty makes a child appear mentally backward gad it may have a profound in-

The death of Milton C. Werling, a native of this county and member of a prominent Preble town-, ship family, brings sorrow to his many friends. Mr. Werling suffered a physical breakdown several months ago and was unable to recoup his health. He was a friendly individual, a former school* teacher and a former county clerk. Active in various phases of community life he was widely known in, the county. 0 0 Congress has approved a resolution to name a new Public Health and Engineering Center in Cincinnati in honor of former Sen. Robert Taft. The resolution also asked that the building be dedicated to the memory of the former Ohio senator in recognition of his many years of outstanding public service. Mr. Taft deserves this recognition and more, for he was one of the most able and sincere statesmen the country ever had. It would not be out of line for congress to dedicate a monument to the memory of the man who served so well on Capitol Hill. 0 o Rivers are causing trouble in two widely separated parts of Asia. The division of the Indus River water between India and Pakistan is one of the most important causes of the present mutual bad feeling. Engineers are trying to work out a satisfactory settlement. Many hundreds pf miles West, division of the waters of the Jordan River is a prime cause of the ill will existing between Israel and her Arab neighbors. In Europe the Dapube River, which runs through or touches Austria, Hungary, Servla, Bulgaria and Roumanla, creates so many problems that for many years an international commission has regulated river traffic. In the United States, also, rivers create problems. California and Arizona do not see eye to eye ‘over the use of the Colorado River for irrigation. Water is precious and it should be possible to use rivers sensibly and amicably.

for such a fund to be administered by the I.U. foundation in assisting future lawyers. The fund will provide for scholarships as well as loans to outstanding students. There is no such fund at present. Gavit. who had been dean of the I.U. school of law for 18 years, died Jan. 15. The scholarship fund campaign is being directed by the law school alumni association, headed by Claude M. Warren of Indianapolis.

flMnnpp an his emotional status. The child is. as a rule, unable to keep up with his class and feels stupid and ridiculed. It is of the utmost Importance for the parents to catch a reading disability in . their child as early as possible. In fact, it is very important that it be picked up before the child reaches the age of eight or ten. With increased alertness on the part of parents and school, many children can be helped. A child with.a reading difficulty should have an examination by a physician In order to determine whether poor eyesight or hearing is at fault. Intelligence and vocabulary testing may be necessary in many cases. Most cases can be cured with early proper treatment. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. R. T.r What causes pyorrhea? Answer: The exact cause of pyorrhea according to many dental authorities, may be either local or an expression of a systemic disease. That is, some other disease in the patient’s body may cause the pyorrhea. However, most of the pyorrhea is originally caused by some local irritation, such as tartar which accumulates Ground and between the teeth, overhanging edges of fillings, uncleanliness of the teeth and excessive stress on a few teeth which injures them.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR DR. BOWSER was sure that fouling would take place when Shelly Carr appeared that evening, close behind the two men, but not with them. Shelly had dressed carefully for the occasion. She looked exactly what she was, a beautiful young woman, a lady born to grace and honor. Perhaps some of the doctors detected her nervousness. To the casual eye, it was not apparent. She came into the room, slender, lovely, her golden hair gleaming, her violet eyes wide and dark, her face serene. She wore a black dress, slim, banded at the throat and wrists with an embroidery of gold thread and seed pearls. She wore snowy white gloves, and little diamond earrings. The doctors thought they knew why she had come— Bowser had asked her to present her night service plan. They looked a little befuddled when she explained to each one who came to speak to her that she was present "in Stephen’s interest,* To each man’s gallantry, she responded in her soft voice, and searched the group for Craig. He had promised to attend! That was all he would promise, but he had said he would be there. And—just before Bowser called the meeting to order, he did come into the room, his dark face blank of all emotion. He sat down at the far edge of the group and indicated that Bowser should go on with the business in hand. He was there, his manner said, but he’d contribute nothing! At a small table against one wall sat the secretary and the chairman, who now rapped Upon the table with his knuckles and asked for attention. Briefly, ne welcomed the guests, with a sly attempt at humor. - There was, he suggested, a vast improvement in things when a Wife came to the meeting instead of the doctor. Shelly blushed prettily and smiled at the laughter and the handclapping. She was wishing that she had turned her chair so that she could watch Craig. Heaven knew what he’d do or say! The meeting started with some embarrassment, because in the minutes there was the account of the tabled motion which Craig had offered concerning Dr. Lewis. And tonight Dr. Lewis sat, big as life and twice as gracious, not ten feet away from Dr. Talboy. - - , Mrs. Lewis’ suit against him had been settled out of court, and the matter silenced. Nevertheless, it had taken a certain amount of brass to come to this meeting, to eat dinner with the other doctors, to joke with them and” » .sit at ease . » . but Ervin Lewie had all the brass which was necessary. He had enough to tun). and stare meaningly at Craig Talboy when Dr. Bowser was ready to take up the new business of the evening. •"There has been an expression

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1 0 0 Q. Would it be all right for a man’s family to give an engagement announcement party, if the girl s family cannot afford the expense of one? A. No. The man’s family may give a celebration party, but the announcement must be made by the girl’s parents, and they could do this very well through the local newspapers. Q. Is “I know Miss Brown” the proper thing to say when being introduced to her for the second time? A. No; this sounds as if it were trouble to make a second acknowledgement. It is -better to say, "i have already had the pleasure- efmeeting Miss Brown.” Q, Is it all right for a guest to eat the skin of a baked potato? A. Yes; many people consider this the best part of the potato.

of intent,” said Dr. Bowser unhappily, "but as yet no motion directly made which could lead to action. However 1 think it will be necessary to place into discussion the events of Tuesday night, February twenty-first.” (The night of Mrs. Armes’ death.) Dr. Talboy reached into his pocket, drew out cigarets and fit one, the match flame steady in his fingers. “He s got Indian blood, all right,” Dr. Appleman said in a loud whisper. Craig's black eyes turned toward him. “Cherokee,* he said quietly. “Great-grandfather.” And half of the men in the room laughed. Shelly looked down at her white gloves. She wished Craig would try . . . He would not. He smoked his cigaret and listened inscrutably to Dr. Bowser’s fumbling attempts to condemn him and be tactful all in the same breath. Bowser was endeavoring to be .fair; one had to give him E for effort. He made a nice little speech upon the subject of gossip. It was fun to gossip, said he, and ail were guilty of indulging in the practice, often forgetting to give a little thought—or a lot—to the dividing line between harmlessness and maliciousness. “There are two schools of thought about go s s i p,” he continued. "One is that it is better to Ignore the talk, and hope it will Somebody laughed. “The second is to take full notice of it, examine the elements within it and establish such truth, or falsehood, as exists. This most fre> quently, and completely, is do n e through the medium of the civil courts. You know, some sort of suit is filed, evidence is secured and given—the court's decision reached. And publicly accepted." "May I speak, sir?” asked Mr. Cornfeld. "Certainly." — . . "We have to get a suit filed before we can try it, and establish a man's innocence. Now, there’s no use bein’ evasive here tonighL We’ll gam time by namin' names. So I'll point out to you that If the Armes family had been willin’ to have an autopsy performed on the old lady, it might have been established once and for all that the doctor’s failure to get to her bedside had nothin’ to do with her death. I understand a clot of a certain size in the coronary artery guarantees death. But in this case here we had a coroner who said it looked like a natural death from heart failure, and that was that “Now, the second thing. Folks say the doctor was drunk that night, and that’s why he didn’t get to his patient, which, for the purposes of this meeting, could mean behavior unfittin’ to a doctor approved by this society. That’s what you plan to decide on tonight, isn’t it?”

Court News Divorce Case In the divorce case of Edward E. Matter vs Anna C. Matter, venued from Allen county, both parties have entered appearance with their attorneys to submit the cause for trial. The complaint, crosscomplaint and answers have been filed and in part submitted. The plaintiff has filed a motion to amend the second amended complaint and the court has sustained the motion. Estate Cases The court has ruled that the estate of Eva Krick be settled under the prior, law. A petition to file the final report has been filed and sustained. The final report has been filed and a notice ordered issued returnable April 16. A report of election has been filed in the estate of Martin Kirchner by Mildred Bittner. An affidavit has been filed by Ardena Burke, another heir to the estate.

"Well—yes," said Dr. Bowser. “All right. Then you’re goin’ to have to do one of two t hri ng s. Prpve he was drunk, or prove he was not. Dependin’ naturally, on whether you’re on the defense or the offense.” "I’m neutral, Mr. Cornfeld.” i "You are, eh? AU right, then, you snould be ready to take proof on both sides. I’d recommend that you start by askin’ for proof that Dr. Tai boy was drunk.” He sat down, and Dr. Bowser tried to juggle the bail- which had been tossed into his hands. He dropped it “Well, gosh sa k es!” said Mr. Cornfeld. "The man was brought into your hospital, hurt—who handled him ? Did that doctor smeU liquor on him? Aren’t there medicines given for alcoholism tn such cases ? Black coffee or something more scientific. Were those given ?" Craig Taiboy’s eyes were shining like coals. His head was tipped upon one shoulder and he quizzically waited for the answer. — It was finally established that Dr. Ward had cared for the injured man. and — “1 never said he ftas drunk!” he growled. "Did you hear’ somebody say it?” Ward tried to think. "Maybe the ambulance driver did—yes, I think he said that it looked like the doctor had one too many; he couldn t figure why else he’d wreck his car on that straight stretch of road.” “And you accepted that idle remark as evidence!” said Cornfeld. “Now, look here, sir!” choked Dr. Ward. The harassed chairman pointed his gavel at Mr. Cornfeld. “Do you have something you want to present to this meeting as evidence that Dr. Talboy was not drunk?” Mr. Cornfeld beamed. "T ha t s the question 1 want!” he declared, happily, and everyone laughed. “I don’t know that it’s in order , . protested Dr. Appleman. “Look, boy,” said the magistrate. "Some day you may sit on a hot seat, and you’ll be good and glad if somebody comes along—in order or not—to help cool the thing down. If you’ve got a personal grudge against Dr. Talboy—” "Oh, 1 haven’t. Os course.” "AU right, then. Let’s proceed. Now, let me see. Dr. Bowser wants to know if I have evidence. 1 do. It’s simple. I’ve brought to this meeting a list of the night calls Which Dr. Talboy answered on the three nights preceding his accident. We won’t talk about ms days. It can be established that he held office hours, did five surgical operations in those three days, attended thirteen patients in hospital, and probably as many more out of it. "But let’s look at the list of night calls. He was hurt, you’ll remember, on Tuesday night More nearly Wednesday morning.” (To Ee Continued)

Present Clash Not New In U. S. Annals McCarthy's Clash Has Precedent Os Washington's Time WASHINGTON, UP —The fundamentals of the current difficulty between the executive and legislative branches In which Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy is the modern star performer are almost as old as the republic, 162 years to be exact. -■ It was in 1792 that congress first undertook formal investigation of an officer under executive department control. It was the house, not the senate, which set this precedent by ordering an investigation of an Indian campaign conducted by Gen. Arthur St. Clair. The device of congressional investigation almost immediately was recognized as a powerful weapon and early presidents sought to dull it. Cabinets and presidents alike were inclined to resent and to apply checks to congressional inquiries. One, Ebenezer Hazard, a postmaster general of the times, left written comment which might fit into the pattern of the name calling of today. “Taking advantage of the congressional prerogative,” Hazard wrote, “a fool can ask more questions in a day than a wise man can answ’er in a month; and, yet. should such a one be sent to congress, every head of a department lies at his mercy. “Answer him according to his folly, he grows angry, runs and tells congress, and, to be sure, the officer must be dismissed, to put the gentleman in a good humor again. I would as soon be a Virginia Negro as a public officer under such a master.” Congress has been unmoved by such past and present complaints, however. The congressional inves’tigairbrC Is hefe tb slay anti not much is likely to be done toward changing its methods. The personalities of the senators and representatives conducting investigations will determine how they shall go. Back in 1792. congress called on war secretary Henry Knox for all information on Gen. St. Clair’s Nov. 4. 1791 defeat by a confederated Indian army on the banks of the Wabash near Fort Wayne, gt. Clair already had resigned from the army although the house investigation finally found him free of fault. Jefferson noted in his annals that Washington called a cabinet meeting to consider the house request for iirfornration.knowing it would establish a precedent and therefore “should be rightly conducted.” Washington told his cabinet there might be some papers too se ere t to be handed over. The cabinet agreed, however, that the house committee had authority for general inquiries and to call for general information, but said no-, papers should be turned over , which “would injure the public.” The cabinet also proposed that all such committee requests should goto the president instead of to the cabinet member Involved. Washington sent Jefferson to Capitol Hill to speak separately with committee members to “bring them by persuasion into the right channel.” No papers, however, were withheld that time.

Plan Movement Os Essential Agencies Move In Event Os Washington Attack WASHINGTON, UP — The office of defense mobilization is plans for quick movement of essential government agencies to safe areas in the event of an enemy attack on Washington, it was disclosed today. ODM director Arthiir S. Flemming said preliminary discussions “at highest levels’’ have indicated a need for permanent facilities, both near here and at a distance, to "reduce the vulnerability of government.” Flemming and his associates testified before a house appropriations subcommittee on Feb. 5. Their testimony was made public today. Flemming told the committee he wanted to stress two points which he said President Eisenhower "has emphasized a number of times, I—Soviet1 —Soviet Russia does have the capability of attack on the United States; and 2 —we must maintain our massive capability to strike back.” The establishment of emergency facilities “cannot be left entirely to the discretion of the dozens of federal agencies,” he said. "Their individual plans must fit at least generally into a single emergency relocation scheme.” The defense mobilization office also is vitally interested in the disperson of Industry, Flemming said. “The objective of this program is to have industry do as much as it can without government assistance to reduce its vulnerability.” he said. "Groups from 30 industries have been briefed on the n«< ture of the threat and possible measures for countering It.” Industrial Education Convention Thursday The Indiana industrial education association, made up of industrial arts and vocational education teachers of Indiana, will hold its 22nd annual convention at French Lick Springs Hotel March 25 to 27.
