Taylor SUM Writer, the Statesman Nearly ail classrooms have a few pupils who appear unable to , keep up with the regular studies. To assure that these pupils will; have an equal educational opportunity with the "average," Salem ' public schools have begun this year a special education department. And to the specially trained teachers of the department have come each month between 6 and 7 per cent of the district's nearly i 7,000 pupils.

Wherever possible, in order to prevent mak - ing the child (eel isolated or "out side," the program is carried on through the regular classroom teacher who is given appropriate ! materials and instruction. I Specialized to the handicap, the type of aid varied widely, includ ing tutoring for children confined at home by illness for two or more nths, large-print books and ders for partial-sighted chil dren, training in lip-reading for the hard of hearing, overcoming of speech difficulties such as stut tering and baby talk, remedial reading, as well as a visiting teach er and clinical guidance for the emotionally maladjusted. ind cess Referral by Teacher Intelligence Near Normal Failure to fit into the classroom ; Youngsters in special education ork Properly brings referral by aroups are not just the mentally I teacher or principal. retarded or "slow" pupils, Kidwell i If he has extreme learning diffi emphasizes.

More than one-half the case load has been found In five schools Bush, Englewood, Richmond and Highland elementary and the sen ior high. Kidwell attributes much of tha concentration to areas with a rspid turnover of population, whers pupils have a difficult time adjusting to a new school. That adjustment, he stressed, depends tionally maladjusted, the depart ment gives him a Binet intelli gence or an achievement test. The test, "a standardized Interview" conducted individually, shows the child's relationship to the "aver age" pupil at his age, suggests the proper approach to his problem and gives clues to his personality. The specially trained teachers in special education work to estab lish rapport with both child and parent, in order that all may un derstand what they are striving for and why.
