You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK EPI Education Specialist There are many speed reading programs which indicate that an individual’s reading rate can be increased from three to ten times its present speed. Experts have many opinions concerning the value of these courses. Through an organized and concentrated effort speed and comprehension in reading can be increased. An individual can accomplish this by himself if he is persistent. Why should one get involved in a course which will cost a good deal of money? The answer lies with the individual. The structure supplied by a course will generally motivate the student. The materials, techniques, and direction of the course will supply specific procedures. It will be necessary to practice approximately one -W*"— — JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES KINGDOM HALL Corner Monroe and Ninth Sunday 3:00 p.m.: “Are Wicket Spirits Misleading the World?” will be the subject of a public Bible lecture to be given by C- D.

hour per day. The results probably will be superior to those of an individual approach. The basic value of speed reading depends upon a person's involvement with reading. College students, lawyers, and others who constantly use reading as a tool probably would benefit from such a course. An individual who reads as a recreational activity or who will not continusouly use the techniques probably would benefit from his own efforts rather than a course. If you have decided that there is value to such a venture, you shoifld be careful in choosing a course. A little investigation will reveal the legitimacy and background of personnel, and the results obtained by a particular plan- Courses sponsored by colleges and public schools generally are„ effective. Critics attack these programs for a variety of reasons. They particularly question comprehension at high speed But many individuals have taken the courses and have been satisfied with the results. If you have no need to take a special course but want to increase your reading speed and comprehension, it can be done. You will have to make a specific effort. Normal reading speed is generally the rate at which the reader is most comfortable.. You should practice pushing your speed beyond the comfort level for a period of one half to one hour per day. At first you will not obtain a great deal of understanding or pleasure. After a reasonable period of time you will discover that your normal speed has increased considerably.

George Romney insists I ihe is not a candidate for the 1964 Republican presidential nom-1 ination. but he is careful not to insist too hard. “No one can say what the fu-1 ture holds,” Romney said to some reporters after telling a news conference several times that “I am not a candidate and I am not! going to become a candidate for the 1964 nomination.” Romney passed up a chance at the news conference to make his stand irrevocable. Political speculation centered around a reception given for the former automotive executive Thursday night by a Republican national commit-, teewoman, Mrs. J. Willard Marriott. . | Romney said the reception, to 1 which leading Republicans were reported to have been invited,, had been planned for some time. j But one influential Republican, told UPI the gathering was un-1 doubtedly part of a build-up for Romney. Romney’s visit to Washington was highlighted by a successful appearance before the US. Chamber of Corrimerce, an asset for any GOP presidential hopeful. He drew an emotional, cheering response from the chamber when he called for reversal of a trend toward “federalization.” At his news conference, Romney was particularly critical of the Kennedy administration’s spending programs. He said he could not agree that a federal deficit is “really an investment.” Hoagland Firemen To Hold Dance Saturday The Hoagland fire department is sponsoring a dance at the Hayloft Saturday, starting at 9 p.m. All proceeds from the dance will go to the fund for a new fire station at Hoagland.

Secretary Freeman Urges Congress Act (UPI) — Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman today urged Congress to complete action on a feed grain surplus-control bill before May 21. It is of “critical importance” for the Senate to pass the Houseapproved bill before wheat farmers ballot in a politically charged grass roots referendum May 21, Freeman said in testimony before the Senate Agriculture mitteeThe referendum will determine whether wheat growers want to accept the Kennedy administration's controversial wheat control program for their 1964 crop. Administration leaders have been pushing for approval of the feed bill in hopes this would brighten prospects for approval of

the wheat plan. Defeat of the plan would be a blow to the administration. The feed grain bill would extend into 1964 and 1965 an existing program under which farmers can get price supports and acreage diversion payments for voluntarily reducing plantings of feed grains, Freeman said prompt enactment of the bill i£ important to “give the wheat farmer all the available facts and information he is entitled to before he casts his vote." Senate Agriculture Chairman Allen J. Ellender, D-La., earlier this week tried to ram the feed bill through his committee without public hearings. But Republicans, with aid from some southern Democrats, forced the committee to agree to hold hearings through next Wednesday. Ellender has said he plans to move the bill to the Senate floor by May 13, thwarting GOP efforts i to delay passage until after the | wheat referendum.
