Remedial Reading Aimed
For Specific Pupil Help
(Editor's Note: Because of
interest shown in the remedial
reading program in Morrow
schools, we have asked Hillard
Brown to write an explanation
of the program. Following is
first of two articles.)
By HILLARD BROWN
Principal, Heppner Elementary
School
Our Heppner Elem e n t a r y
ocnooi now nas a remedial read
ing department for grades two
through the eighth grade.
The remedial reading class of
fers specific help directed toward
the particular needs of children
who have reading problems. Dur
ing this special instruction it is
hoped the child may gain enough
reading power to be able to ben
efit by the regular teaching in
one of the reading groups in his
room.
Small sessions of daily' help
are given to the pupils. Usually
the schedule Is arranged for
help during the time others in
the class are working on reading
activities.
The children placed in the
remedial program have normal
or superior intelligence i They
have the capacity to aohieve but
have not done so because of per.
haps a dislike for reading or
lack of confidence and interest
and frequently avoids all oppor
tunities to learn to read.
Precautions are taken to keep
tne remedial group from being
filled with children who are
slow learners or those who have
emotional problems but are not
in need of remedial help.
Our classroom teachers eval
uate the child's deficiency and
will then refer the child to the
remedial class for further test-
Reading Program
Described at PTA
It was decided at the regularly
scheduled meeting of the PTA,
held last Wednesday evening, to
postpone the next regular meet
ing until January 15, so it will
not follow so soon after the holi
days. The program will be an
nounced later.
Mrs. Paul Brown was elected
by the executive committee as
chairman of the nominating
committee along with Mrs. John
Hanna and Mrs. Ray E. Smith,
who were elected by the tinit.
Nominations for next years of
ficers will be held in February.
A number of sweatshirts in
Heppner school colors were sold
at the meeting. They are also
being sold in the schools.
The meeting was highlighted
by an informative demonstration
and discussion of developmental
reading, described by Mrs. L. E.
Dick, who is teaching this form
of reading to the high school.
Developmental reading is a
mechanical means of learning to
read with more speed and com
prehension with the aid of pac
ing machines and by projecting
the reading material on a screen
for certain lengths of time.
Mrs. Marion Green, Mrs. Ern
est McCabe and Mrs. Jim Myers
represented the third grade as
the third grade room mothers.
Concluding the evening, mem
bers joined together to sing
Christmas carols as Gordon Pratt
accompanied them on the piano.
Knitters Organize
A beginners knitting 4-H club
was organized November 6 with
Mrs. William Spohn as leader.
Kathy Holtz, Betty Greenup,
Frances Wiley, Helen Byrnes and
Christine McCabe are club mem
bers. Officers are Kathy Holtz,
president; Betty Greenup, vice
president; Christine McCabe, sec
retary and news reporter. The
name of the club is the Busy
Needles. The group met at Mrs.
Spohn's home after school No
vember 13, November 26 and
December 4 for club meetings
and instructions in knitting. A
knitted pot holder is the first pro
ject of the group.
Christine McCabe, reporter
WW
Ing. Here the child is given num
erous tests to locate the pupil's
strengths and weaknesses.
Special attention is given to
complicating factors, such as
physical defects, the family un
derstanding the problem, and
emotional tensions either at
home or at school.
The child faces a problem of
acquiring new skills more rap
idly than the child who has
made regular progress. This re
quires more practice directed to
ward specific weaknesses than
is needed by the child with no
reading problem.
We start the pupil with ma
terial highly Interesting to him
and with which he can have
early success. Since the child
with a reading problem often
comes to the class sure he is
going to fail, it is important
there is concrete evidence that
this time he has success.
Special devices serve an im
portant function since the
Child has not profited from meth
ods used in the normal class
room procedures in the past.
Above everything else coop
eration between home and school
aid in convincing the child that
he is going to make satisfactory
progress.

For Added Gifts
To Hospitals
Christmas gifts for mental hos
pital patients are still needed
according to Rev. Charles V.
Knox, county chairman. Over
6000 gifts are needed for Santa
to remember everyone at Ore
gon's four mental hospitals and
at Fairview Home.
Central collection depot at the
Christian church, Heppner, will
be open a few more days. Sug
gested gifts are very much "like
th syu gv yoeoruioe C, -OIC
those you give your own fam
ily and friends," according to
the chairman who adds, "To
many patients, these gifts have
a far deeper meaning than a
joyful Christmas remembrance.
They give the greatest gift of
all proof that someone really
cares." Cash gifts are used to
buy larger items for all to en
joy. Checks should be made out
to "Christmas Gifts" and left at
the collection depot.

The holly tree and its brightly berried branches hold an
important place not only in holiday decorations but in the
legends and lore of Christmas.
An old belief in England and Germany was that there are
"he" and "she" hollies the "he" hollies with spined leaves,
the "she" hollies smooth-leaved. The varieties brought into
the house at Christmas supposedly showed who would head
the household for the coming year "he" or "she."
A variation on this custom said that if the holly was
brought into the house in fair weather, the wife would rule.
dui it me weatner was Dad, tne husband would be master.
Holly was credited with manv maeical and medical
powers. It was believed to cure toothaches, banish rickets, ,o
and even foretell to girls the names of their future husbands.
