Mentally Retarded Child Can Now
Be Taught by Special Training
editor's not: Following It th sec
ond In a three-part series dealing with
education of exceptional children.
BY LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) About one
child in 50 enters the first grade
with no chance whatever of
graduating from high school.
This child has an I Q- below
75, on a scale where 100 is the
arbitrary figure for normal in
telligence. No matter how hard
he tries, or how hard his teach
ers and parents try to help him,
he can't make the regular ac
ademic grade.
Twenty years ago, he would
have become one of the human
rejects of the educational mach
inery. After failing two or three
grades, he would have been al
lowed to drop out of school.
Today, according to a woman
who has done much to make it
possible, this mentally-retarded
child can stay in school and,
through special training pro
grams tailored to his capabilities,
can prepare for "an adult life
that will be useful, happy and
normar in all essential respects."
"We believe," said Dr. Eliza
beth M. Kelly, "that a mentally
retarded child who grows up to
be self-supporting has achieved
as great a victory in life as the
bright child who becomes a fa
mous lawyer, doctor or college
professor.
"If the parents of a handicap
pad child accept him for what he
is. and plan for his future in
realistic terms instead of hope
less dreams, he wiil find his
niche in life. And by the time he
is grown, no one will think of
him as mentally retarded."
Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS
Washington Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn on the
drive to slash $6.8 billion from President Eisenhower's $71.8
billion budget as a step toward tax cuts:
"You can talk all you want about cutting the budget by $5
billion. But that just isn't going to be done."
Hollywood Superior Judge Edward R. Brand on a 59-page
settlement which was filed by Mairy Alice Loesser, wife of song
writer Frank Loesser and producer of the Broadway hit "Most
Happy Fella," granting Mrs. Loesser S60.000 a year alimony plus
other large financial benefits:
"I don't know whether this is going to make your husband
'Most Happy Fella'."
Chicago AFL-CIO Vice President James H. Carey warning
the Teamsters Union which is now being investigated by a special
Senate subcommittee:
"If they don't mend their ways they're in danger of ex
pulsion. One corrupt international or even one corrupt local
is one too many."
China Lake. Calif. LL Cmdr. Glenn A. Tierney. boss of
China Lake's guided missile training unit, on the usefulness of
their new weapon, the Sidewinder:
"A pilot with a sidewinder is like a fighter going into the
ring with a six-foot reach over the other guy."
Tallahassee, Fla. City Judge John Rudd, addressing one
white and two Negro students after he gave them maximum
fines and jail terms for sitting together on a bus:
"What is good for you is not always good for a majority and
it is sometimes better to wait and receive benefits rather than
try to become modern-day martyrs."

Major Influence
Dr. Kelly is superintendent of
special education in the Newark,
N. J. public schools, and pres
ident of the International Coun
cil for Exceptional Children. The
council, a department of the Na
tional Education Associatiin, has
been a major influence in estab
lishing training courses for mentally-retarded
children in vir
tually every U.S. public school
system since World War II.
While these courses differ in
some details, all are based on
the concept that the low-I.Q.
child, who may learn next to
nothing in the regular classroom,
can learn a good deal if put into
a separate group under a teach
er with special training.
Dr. Kelly said mentally re
tarded children are generally
subdivided into two categories.
Those with I.Q.'s in the range
of 50 to 75 are described as
"educable." Those under 50 are
called "trainable."
School programs for "traina
ble" children focus on helping
them achieve self-sufficiency in
daily living, and a degree of
social adjustment.
"There's not much point in
trying to teach these children to
read and write," Dr. Kelly said
in an interview. "B u t we've
found that they have a greater
potential for learning manual
skills than was previously
thought."
Sheltered Workshops
New Jersey, Ohio and other
states have recently begun to
establish "sheltered workshops"
at which severely retarded child
ren msy learn a trade within
their capabilities and in which
they may continue to work,
under proper supervision, after
they grow up.
The outlook is brighter for
the "educable" child, said Dr.
Kelly. With the right kind of
teaching, he can master reading,
writing and arithmetic. The spec
ial classes provided for him also
will expose him to science, civ
ics, history, elemental business
courses music and art
There are no fixed grade levels
through which he is asked to
progress, no hard-and-fast curri
culum. The teacher tried to help
each child grow in knowledge
and experience as far and as
fast as his personal capabilities
permit.
"We've established that these
children can absorb a variety
of vocational training," said Dr.
Kelly. "They can be prepared
for semi-skilled jobs in textile
plants and some other industries.
"M any prove adept at up
holsering and tailoring. Some
can learn to make change, fill
out sales slips and otherwise
qualify for jobs as stock clerks
or sales clerks."
