by reading and another was
an eye and hand coordinator

er the child has the proper
coordination.

reader control which forces
the child to read from left to
right and which determines
whether the student is read
ing in single words or in
phrases, and also determines
rapidly reading speed. Anoth
er machine demonstrated was
the tachistoscope which rapid
ly flashes numbers on a
screen and which, among oth
er uses, determines if the
student reads numbers back
wards. Mr. Erickson is available to

the machines and how they
may be used to aid students

parents then are able to be
more useful in helping their
children.

wife an anniversary cake,
while John Lusk played the
Anniversary Waltz in their

Origin of Crackers
New York (UPD Crack
ers originated in New England
in the late 1700's, according
to the National Biscuit com
pany. An American innova
tion, they were first made as
"pilot crackers" or "ship's
bread," to supply sailing ves
sels that left northeastern
ports for long trading voyages
throughout the world. Today,
high-speed traveling band
ovens can produce more than
five million crackers in an 8
hour work day.
