BY DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York 'UP A new ex
planation of why science courses
are not popular with college stu
dents was offered today. It is
because so many students leave
elementary and high schools un
able to spell even the most
simple words.
Dr. Kenneth B. M. Crooks, a
professor of zoology, told the an
nual meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science, that for some years
a depressing proportion of his
college students use the follow
ing spellings (among others no
less shocking):
Nerse, blud, ginny pig, anamal,
brane, human bean, colur,
divilop, docter. curcle. skecter.
punkin. worf, and writting. So
it follows, he said, that when
kids who spell that way, come
to college they're afraid of sci
ence courses because of new and
"big" words they'll have to spell.
The relative lack of interest of
college students in science is an
extremely serious matter, and
the AAA's meeting devoted much
time to it. With the developing
of atomic travel, it is an always
increasing scientific and tech
nical world. Colleges simply
aren't turning out enough sci
entists and engineers to meet
i America's future need for tech
nical know-how.
Various explanations were of
fered at the AAA's sessions, hav
ing to do with lack of effort to
interest children in science, im
proper teaching or unqualified
; teachers of elementary science
in high schools, and absence of
sufficient "motivation" to give
' youngsters a scientific bent.
Prof. Crooks, of the faculty of
j the State College. Fort Valley,
' Ga., blamed the whole teaching
set-up in elementary and high
: schools. He's been studying the
: misspellines of college science
students for 26 years, he said,
' adding: "It is well known that
college students do not read,
; write or comprehend as well as
: they should. This study proves
1 that they cannot spell, either."
He charged that "carelessness
and laziness are apparently en
couraged in our circus-style
schoolroom s." Furthermore,
"'most school teaching of spelling
I is beneath their dignity. Hence,
i pupils who have learned to spell
have probably taught themselves,
or have learned in spite of their
teachers."
Wrong Procedure
He said many youngsters
come to college without knowing
the alphabet "nor that letters
have sounds." Elementary teach
ing now places emphasis on read
ing, never on spelling. ine
kids get away with cheating
t that is another reason. Still an
i other is that lower school teach
ing methods, "tend to encourage
haste, shallow thinking, and
superficiality."
j Not only are lower schools to
; blame. The "national affliction,
sloganitis," has to share it be
cause many slogans "engrave
wrong spellings in the young
mind s." Adult "inventiveness"
i has telescoped spellings. He cited
I the "horror" of "Jaxanville" for
1 Jacksonville.
; "Since readingand-spelling
, and writing-and-spelling are two
I sides of the same coin, they must
I be given back the important
place they have lost in our cur
ricula, if we are to attract to the
I sciences and technology the num
j ber of young persons now needed
and urgently needed in the near
' future, to enable us to keep
I America strong and free," he
' said.
PHEASANT FOR ONE
Ripley. Me. (U.R) Fred
Reese thought for a moment that
the bird fluttering up in front
of him was a chicken. But a
closer look showed that the pure
white fowl was a pheasant. He
quickly raised his gun and
brought down the rare albino
specimen.
