Teachers visit North Vietnam
Four American teachers,
two of them Black, have
just concluded a ten day
visit to North Vietnam
arranged by the American
Friends Service Committee.
The tour, part of continued
efforts by the Quaker or
ganization for reconciliation
w ith th e V ie tn a m e se
people, included schools and
other educational facilities.
One of the Blacks, J.
Marshall Rogers Jr., a high
school instructor from Dur
ham. North Carolina, was
nam ed U .S . N ation al
Teacher of the Year in
1972.
He teaches social
science and human relations
at a Durham high school.
He visited the Ministries of
Education in addition to
teachers and schools in 1973
in Egypt, Lebanon, Israel,
Greece and Cyprus, and
gave many lectures upon
his return to the United
States.
Sara Boyd, the other
Black lives in Stanford,
California. She is a public
school counselor at Palo
Alto. Also, she is active in
relation to other schools
and counseling services in
the San Francisco Bay area
and has worked on civil
rights and other educational
and public issues.
Other AFSC efforts in
North Vietnam include
shipment of $50,000 worth
of critically needed copy­
books for school children.
Future projects will provide
a variety of supplies for a
Hanoi high school near
Kham Thien Street, an area
that was carpet bombed by
B-52's in 1972, and will set
up machinery shops for
handicapped people of the
Kham Thien Street com
munity who were injured in
the bombings.
The AFSC also has had
projects in areas controlled
by the Republic of Vietnam
based in Saigon and by the
P r o v is io n a l R e v o lu ­
tionary Government iPRGi
of South Vietnam, as well
as for both sides in Laos.
The teachers made a
presentation of notebooks
at one of the schools and
visited other schools where
they are being used. Ship­
ment of about half of the
notebooks was completed
prior to the visit.
AFSC Executive Secre­
tary Louis Schneider, who
visited North Vietnam last
summer, stated: "Visits to
schools and with school
children and teachers can
provide opportunity to
d e m o n str a te
p erso n a l
friendship and concern for
reconciliation between the
Vietnamese and American
people.
"This direct contact and
o b se r v a tio n p erm itted
members of the delegation
to learn about the needs of
Vietnamese schoolchildren
and teachers, and made it
possible for them to inter
pret these to American
schoolchildren, teachers and
others on their return.
"By this means, a broader
understanding and sym
pathy in the United States
can be developed, and
exchange projects between
American and Vietnamese
schools might result."
A future AFSC project is
to provide supplies for the
Xa Dan High School near
Kham Thien Street in
Hanoi.
It is hoped that
A m erica n sc h o o ls and
schoolchildren will contri
bute to help provide the
many supplies needed at Xa
Dan or might assist funding
the gift of the notebooks.
The AFSC, with offices
and programs throughout
the world, has helped the
victims of all sides of
several wars since the
Committee was founded in
1917.

Oral School teaches deaf children
T u c k e r M a so n O ral
School is a private day-
school of limited size foi
children of normal intelli
gence whose hearing is
seriously impaired. Teach
ing methods at Tucker
Maxon are entirely oral. No
sign language or finger
spelling is used in the
classrooms or at home. This
is essential in order to
firmly establish the oral
communication skills. Re­
search studies over the past
twenty years have justified
continuation of this philo­
sophy.
Oralism is more
than a mere method of
communication. IT IS AN
A T T IT U D E TOW ARD
LIFE. The continual expo­
sure to experiences requir
ing use of speech and
speechreading must be
complimented with Ian
guage developm ent and
concept formation. Manual
mean of communication de
feat the objectives of the
Tucker Maxon program and
are not permitted on cam
pus or at home.
Tucker Maxon was estab
lished in 1948 by the
parents of five deaf children
who visualized a special
school whose size and facili
ties would enable it to
provide the highly concen
trated, personal attention
which is necessary in a
successful oral education.
Tucker Maxon's educa
tional program is based
upon the belief that the
majority of deaf children of
normal intellectual ability
can develop functional
speech and lipreading skills
which are essential for
maximum participation in
the hearing community.
These abilities are only
obtained and maintained
within an environment of
experienced teachers, ade
quate facilities and suppor
live parents.
One basic
tenant of the Tucker Maxon
Oral School is the continued
importance of active parent
involvement. Parents are
assigned visiting days so
that they may keep abreast
of the progress of their
children and provide con
tinuity between school and
home.
Tucker Maxon's teaching
staff consists of thirteen
fully qualified teachers of
the deaf experienced in the
field of oral education,
supplemented by instruc
tors in physical education,
art, sewing, ballet and
wrestling.
In addition.
Tucker Maxon provides a
graduate level teacher
training program in con
junction with Pacifie Uni
versity of Forest Grove,
Oregon.
Tucker Maxon is a non
profit corporation with a
board of trustees. It is an
independent, self help or
ganization and has no af
filiation with state or muni
cipal educational systems.
The school is financed
entirely by tuition and
voluntary donations and
receives no financial aid
from UGN or public agen
cies. It is recognized as a
fully qualified educational
institution and has hern
declared a charitable or
ganization for both state
and federal income and
inheritance tax purposes
with the result that all
donations and bequests are
tax deductible
