Five Year Study Completed
Old English Methods Junked
An a result of a five year study
by the Ore (ton Curriculum Study
Center, “New English" has been
born.
"New English" is u new course
f o r grades seven through 12,
which junks existing methods
and texts It attempts to bring
the study of English up to date
The center operated on a mil
lion dollars in funds from the
U.S. Office of Education, the Uni
versity and the participating
cities The five year contract for
the study ended in August.
It was discovered that three
main problems plagued the pro
gram.
because of uncertainty on what
English courses should contain,
the program became a catch-all
for such unrelated subjects as
telephone manners and good
study habits.
Repetition
Secondly there was no logical
progression from year to year.
This led to much material being
related each year, while some
areas were briefly touched.
As Albert It Kitzhaber, direr
tor of the project said, "English
texts are out of date before they
are printed." Kitzhaber felt that
most secondary school teachers
were out of touch with the ad
vances in their field
The “New English" is aimed at
eliminating these faults. It builds
on what the student has learned
the previous year, and points to
what he will learn the following
year.
Three Areas
It is divided into three areas:
literature, language and rhetoric.
Each of these areas can be sub
divided and studied on levels
varying from simple to sophisti
cated.
The literature program focuses
on literary works for their own
sake.
The study of history or other
areas, which come into play in
the works, is not stressed
The kernel sentence is the ba
sis for the language study. The
kernal sentence is the simple
declarative sentence, and accord
ing to the study, all other sen

Spelling and punctuation have
also been re-vamped.
For example, it may help the
student to know that beat and
beet were once pronounced dif
ferently, and hence their are dif
ferent spellings for the same
sound.
The rules of punctuation are
not stressed as much as their
functional value. The comma, for
instance, represents a slight
pause in our speech.
Rhetoric is the study of get
ting ideas across to other human
beings. The "New English” says
