RACE LOSER KILLS SELF In its monthly magazine, NKA Journal, the association of teach ers strikes back at the book's au thor, Rudolf Flcsch, with an an alysis of his contentions called "Siy Can't Hudy Read?" Flcsch contended in his book that Johnnv can't read beraose of teachers today don't use phonics, a f y st em of sounding out the let ters in each word which Flesch thinks is superior. Students todav look at words and phrases, which is called the word method or the Jook-and-say technique of learning to read. Modern educators, according to NEA, specify that different me thods should be used with differ ent children in order to get best results "and phonics continues to be a part of the educational arsenal."

NKA dug up the same report and found it reported: "The phon ic classes so concentrated upon letter sounds that the attention was diverted from the sense of the paragraph to word pronunci ation. This brought about lack of interest and fatigue and destroy ed the pleasure which the story anuuiu yiciu. nc iwtm nam gen erally less smooth, slower and the idea confused." 2. Flesch said in his book that two scholars in "An Kxperimental Study of the Value of Phonetics" reported that they experimented with 100 pupils in the first and second grades, giving 50 phonici and the other half none. The re sult, he reported, was the phonics group scored three points higher than the non-phonics. NKA found that the same re port drew this conclusion: "Chil dren with no phonetic training make smoother and better oral readers in the lower grades." It added that "much of the phonetic training now given should be de ferred till the second and third grades. It appears that work in meaningful exercises which are planned to increase comprehen sion and to teach discrimination of words is more important than phonetics." a. Flesch reoorted that "T h e Newark I'honics Experiment" of 11128 which tested 1,000 scnoot chil dren "concluded that the results favored instruction in phonics. NKA said this is the actual con clusion of that test by its authors: "The results clearly indicate that the teaching of phonics functions very little or not at all with be ginners in reading during the first five months. It begins to be of some value during the second five months, but is of greater value in the second grade." Citing other instances in his hook "Whv Johnnv Can't Head." NEA report! the actual findings of the reports. 11 concludes: "Certainly there is nothing to suggest that Flcsch is intellectual ly dishonest; nothing to suggest he wants to misinform and confuse. It must be that he truly can't read."

If he cooperates with the west, ne risKs his prestige even his neck. That, is the conclusion Arab poli ticians nave drawn from irime Minister Gamel And el Nasser's purchase of arms from Czechoslo vakia. Scarcely a word of criti cism has come from the Arab world and it is frit to be the most popular thing Nasser has done. By contrast. Arab leaders re cently refused to accept an offer to finance a Jordan Valley develop ment project. Arab leaders agreed the project was a good thing eco nomically; they couldn't accept it for political reasons. When Iraq joined the Western- sponsored baghdad pact early this year, a campaign of press attacks and protest demonstrations follow ed throughout the Middle East. This seeming popularity for the Communist bloc has developed in an area where Communists are rare. Not a single legitimate Com munist party exists in the Arab world. Egypt gives convicted Com munists 15 years in prison. Arabs consider Nasser's pur chase primarily as a declaration of independence. The Arabs know that Nasser can get away with it gives the entire Arab world the feeling of being master of its own destiny. Getting rid of "Western imperi alism" has been a prime desire of Arab patriots since the rise of modern Arab nationalism in the 20th century. Arabs have had a tendency to blame all their woes on Western control of their gov ernments.

"This person may be a mother with a 'chronic sinus.' a trand- mother with a chronic bronchitis or an older sibling (brother or sis ter) who attends schools and who nas trequent colds.

"Though we are not yet entirely passed through the phase of pas sive acceptance, and only really beginning to move from cure into prevention, there seem to be around a number of signs that the phase of creative health will soon 1 oe upon ua. I Dr. Sanford suid it's his opinion Ithat "health will become some what less a mailer ui urgency ana more a matter of thoughtful organ ized planning. It will become less a matter of life and death and more a malter of really living.." "We will be less concerned with maintaining sufficient health to stay out of bed, to keep up pro ductivity, to pass as normal, and more concerned with maintaining such a level of vitality that each human individual can have the best of all possible cnances 01 pur suing, at his own unique and in dividual peak of effectiveness, the great adventure of living."
