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

was diverted from the sense of
the paragraph to word pronunci
ation. This brought about lack of
interest and fatigue and destroy

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."

Deals With Reds
Popular Among
Arab People Now
CAIRO (ifi An Arab leader can
become a national hero by dealing
with the Communist bloc these
days. 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.

Ithat "health will become some

more a malter of really living.."
"We will be less concerned with
