'Schoolmarm' of Year' Says Too Much To-Do Over Reading By CAT PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York "J A Missouri teachrr, named shcoolmarm of th year, says we make too much todo about Johnny's read in problems. "Johnny CAN' read," said Mrs. Mary Field Schwarz. "And we ARE teaching the children the three R's, despite all reports otherwise. "I uggst that those who crit etra stop in our classrooms and gee for themselves." Mn. Schwarz, a pretty, auburn-haired woman of 33 and the mother of a 15-year-old boy, teaches 36 third-graders in In dependence, Mo., former Presi dent Truman's home town. He classroom is a once-condemned church renovated to ac commodate the overflow of pu pils from Bristol school, Inde pendence. She shared the 1957 "Teacher of the Yar" title with Guy Biz zell. high school speech and Enelish instructor in Austin, Tx. Tht award is made each year b th U.S. Office of Ed ucation and McCall's magazine, which chooses from nominations by state departments of educa tion. This is the first year teach ers have shared it. X Just Gasped pnth winners received trips to Washineton. where they call ed on President Eisenhower and Vice-President Nixon. "Mr. Nix on asked me how many chil dren I had and when I answer ed 3B. he just gasped." said Mrs. Schwarz. Mrs. Schwarz came on to Man hattan for a four-dav visit, but left her husband, an electronics engineer, and son to run the house. "But it's been a big week for my boy too." said Mrs. Schwarz. "He made sergeant in the ROTC." Mrs. Schwarz. a native Mis sourian, comes from a family of educators. She is a graduate of the University of Kansas City and holds a master's degree in elementary education from Teacher's College, Columbia un iversity. "Children start learning to read from the time they can focus on symbols." said Mrs. Schwarz. "Some of my third graders have a seventh and eichth grade reading ability." Elusive Reason She conceded that some young sters reach high school still slow with the three R's. "I don't know why," she said. "It may be the child ... it may be the teacher's faulty methods." Her own teaching is in no way unorthodox "Ive never fig ured out what progressive edu cation is anyway." she said. "But I do know that with the old-fashioned basics we must provide children with much more. A child's whole horizon is broader today . . . teaching cannot stand still. "Today's teacher has to be on her toes. Otherwise she'll have the children saying. 'Well. I've seen better than this on TV." " The schoolmarm of 1957 be- lieves the teacher shortage and overcrowded classrooms are just two of education's problems. "Our biggest failure is in ne glect of the bright child," said Mrs. Schwarz. "We've done so much to help the retarded, and let the bright ones drift along. Yet they are our future scient ists, inventors, writers, leaders.
