Barry Goldwater Home
Described as Fabulous
By ROSE McKEE
Phoenix, Ariz.-For 20 years
Sen. Barry M. Goldwater
(R) Ariz., and Mrs. Goldwater
planned the home they would
build "when we didn't have
anything else to do." .
"But we got tired of wait
ing," explained Goldwater,
who frequently is in the news
as the busy chairman of the
Senate Republican campaign
committee and as a leading
member of the Senate rackets
investigating committee. The
Senator, who looks much
younger than his o0 years, is
immensely glad they went
ahead with the house instead
of waiting until he had time
on his hands.

from Phoenix, is a fabulous
combination of desert stone,
glass and native craftsman
ship - and imagination. The
one-story structure is-as the
Senator put it- "long and
skinny." From the air, it
looks like an arrow. The un
usual shape provides every
room with a superb view. The
unique house has no right
angles in it, even where walls
and ceiling meet, but uses 60
and 30 degree angles.
Native Materials
"Our thought," Goldwater
told the National Association
of Home Builders, "was to
build a house that would
demonstrate what could be
done with native Arizona
stone, Indian designs- and na
tive craftsmanship."
The Navajo Tribal Council
picked the name of the house,
"Be-nun-i-kin," or "house on
top of a hill." Sitting 900
feet above the floor of Para
dise Valley, the arrow-
shaped house "points" to
nearby Camelback mountain.
Its exterior is red sand
! stone, which the Senator said
the Hopi Indians used in their
reservation but as far as he
knows,' has never been used
for construction of a house
elsewhere. The stone "was
not cut, just picked up 200
miles to the north of us and
we brought down about 200
tons," the Senator said.
, As a boy riding over the
desert, Goldwater admired
the stone "and always thought
my house would be built of
it."
The low retaining wall
around the house is of desert
granite in shades of white,
deep gray, some black and
other hues. The Goldwaters
have done very little formal
planting about the house.
The Senator said: "The des
ert is disappearing-we want
our 27 acres to be desert for
ever." House Blends
The house blends into its
landscape and, appears at
peace : with its surroundings.
Its big, double fron door
is of birch with inset lines
of mahogany in an abstract,
Indian motif. Silver door
pulls, used -also on various
built-in chests, were hand
carving on edges of the chest
again reflect the Indian mo
tif, and was done by Indians.
One side of the house is an
all-glass wall. On the oppo
site side, a gallery runs the
length of the bedroom wing.
Paintings by Arizona artists
decorate the gallery's interior
wall. Its exterior wall con
sists of picture windows be
tween diamond-shaped native
stone pillars. A wealth of
storage space is provided by
chests under the windows. -
The four fireplaces-in liv
ing room, den, master bed
room and kitchen - dining
room have big single pieces
of sandstone for their hearths.
The slabs bear marking of an
cient ocean ripples and the
Senator said it is believed the
stones are 160 million years
Den I Favorite
The den is his favorite
room. There, a 2,000-pound
hunk of desert ironwood
forms the base of an irregu
larly shaped glass coffee
table. The floor had to be
reinforced to support the
ironwood.
A section of the den's red
wood ceiling opens to let
down a projection screen for
the showing of films. Photog
raphy is the Senator's hobby
and he has his own dark room
for development of pictures.
The master bedroom has
an unusually wide bed with
a three-paneled headboard.
The .center panel conceals
complete controls for the tele
vision and radio on the oppo
site side of the room, as well
as switches for the hi-fi sys
tem, intercoms to the rest of
the house, the bedroom drap
eries, the fire alarm and the
lighting, including outdoor
floodlights.
The two Goldwater sons,
Barry, 21, Mike, 19, share a
room. Peggy; 15, has a room
of her own in pink. An older
daughter, Joanne, is married
and lives in Salt Lake City.
But it is likely that when she
comes visiting with the first
Goldwater grandchild, Caro
lyn who is nearing her second
birthday, the outdoor swim
ming pool and the promenade
deck which encircles the
house, will be the most popu
lar features of the unusual
home.

A preview of what will be featured in the rose gardens
of 160 is presented with the naming of Fire King, Garden
Party, and Sarabande as the new winners of the famous
All-America award, the "Oscar" of the flower world. The
AARS award is made on the basis of results compiled
during a two-year competition which includes the world's
outstanding varieties developed by leading hybridizers.
To develop a rose capable of winning an All-America
title entails from eight to ten years of research and ex
periment. If a rose shows exceptional promise during the
development stages, the originator may consider it for
the rugged All-America competition in which it has about '
a twenty-to-one chance to capture top honors. Since the
AARS testing system was started in 1938, more than
1,000 varieties have been entered in the trials, and only .
fifty-three have been considered worthy of an award.
Experimental plants are sent to twenty-four special
gardens located in different sections vof the countryso
located as to test performance under all types of growing
conditions. Each variety is studied by an impartial ex
pert who rates its performance on the basis of a uniform
point system, scoring for such characteristics as flower

Take Grocery Store Games
Out of Arithmetic Courses
By EVERETT R. IRWIN
United Press International
Chicago-(UPD It's time to
take the "grocery store and
going-to-the-bank" "games out
of arithmetic courses.
' So says George Russell, vet
eran mathematics editor for
a textbook publisher (Scott,
Foresman and Co.). He be
lieves basic mathematics
should be taught from the
first grade on without sugar
coating.
Arithmetic is "the least
liked, most poorly learned
and soonest forgotten of all
grade school subjects," Rus
sell said. i .
Recently,, he helped com
plete a new textbook program
for teaching and' learning
elementary arithmetic.
Rules aren't stated in the
new books. Instead, all opera
tions such as addition or mul
tiplication are worked out in
pictures, with a brief verbal
explanation.
The children see what is
happening to the numbers,
Russell explained, then state
the rules in their own terms
rather than merely memorize
what is in the book.
"We aren't against memor
ization," Russell said. "Lots
of facts have to be memorized
no matter how you teach arth
metic. But we want children
to understand what is being
memorized, not simply parrot
what the teacher or the book
says."
Under the new program,
third grade children are
taught to use equations. Rus
sell said children's greatest
weakness in the past has been
in solving verbal problems.
"Most children today can
add, subtract, multiply and
divide very well as long as
the teacher or the book tells
them what to do," he said.
"But give many children a
verbal problem,' in which they
have to decide for themselves
how to process the numbers,
and they flounder. They
haven't been given an orderly
method of solving problems."
Russell said teachers using
the program have found that
once children learn to trans
late verbal problems into
equations, they do much bet
ter at problem solving.
It also aids their mathe
matical thinking, so they can
take up fairly difficult work
at an early age. The sixth
grade program in Russell's
system for example teaches
ratios, per cents and other
work that used to be held
back until the seventh or
eighth grades.
Children who understand
ratios and other basic mathe
matical principles don't need
grocery store games to keep
them busy or interested, Rus
sell said. They like arithmetic
for its own sake, because they
see the sense, of it.

ing liabit, disease resistance, foliage and other important
. qualities of a top-flight rose. Varieties with the highest
scores are considered for awards.
FIRE KING is a brilliant vermillion Floribunda.and an
exceptionally strong grower which will be particularly
useful for a landscape effect. Its perfectly formed flowers
measure from two to three inches across, and are borne in
heavy clusters which create a dramatic color accent at
any point in the garden.
GARDEN PARTY is a Hybrid Tea which was developed
from the crossing of Charlotte Armstrong and Peace,
two of the most famous AARS winners of all time. Its
double blooms often measure up to seven inches across,
and its cream and ivory petals are delicately tinted with
soft pink. Flowers are usually borne singly on long stems
which are ideal for cutting and arrangements.
SARABANDE, the third winner for 1960, is a Flori
bunda with large flowers of twelve to fifteen petals. Its
color is a unique scarlet orange, arid its relatively low,
compact growth will make it a favorite for hedges and
border edgings.
The three new winners will be available this fall.
A new approach to arithme
tic is needed for two reasons
one a great need for mathe
maticians and engineers in the
space era. "Their introduction
to mathematics can no longer
be postponed until high school
and college," Russell said.
The other reason, he said,
is that machines have largely
taken over the job of comput
ing in modern business.
"This doesn't mean that
pupils don't have to learn how
to add or subtract," Russell
said. "It merely emphasizes
that the human ability to
think mathematically is more
important than the ability to
compute. Someone has to
know how to analyze prob
lems before the machine can
be put to work to solve them."

Bed of Justice
In the days of old France,
the King reclined on his "bed
of justice" when he attended
parliament, held an audience,
received vistors or decided on
a case. Louis XI, who lived
from 1461-1484, is credited
with introducing this custom
into France, though the idea
is even older than that. Alex
ander the Great used his bed
for a throne on numerous occasions.

lutionary with her slightly
askew pince-nez Miss Carden
said "children are dying of
mental anemia" because of
"too much sugar coating" of
education.
"There's too much empha
sis on the thrill of learning,'
she added.
The educator from Glen
Rock, N. J., who has taught
since 1929, advocates the
phonic method of reading and
writing instead of the sight
method. f!
Under the sight method,
words are associated with pic
tures and pupils are drilled
rerjetitiouslv.
The Carden method does
away with the "see the ball.
The ball is red," type of in
struction. Through under
standing the relationship be
tween a word and its sound
and function in a sentence, a
pupil is equipped with basic
tools to "teach himself." ;
The average pupil taught
by her "language-arts" sys
tem is capable of reading any
thing by the fourth grade
and should have all the prac
tical education a child needs
by the sixth grade, Miss Car
den said.
Despite opposition from
"entrenched elements of pres
tige and money," Miss Car
den's primary grades program
was used in 105 public and
private schools in seven
spates. The most effective pro
moters of her system have
been taught by the system.
Miss Carden is sharply cri
tical of the "stuffing" of pro
gressive education -to many
books about books and not
enough straight classics. s
Learning is not an end in
itself," Miss Carden said, "but
a tool for a more enjoyable
life."
The Little Red School
House may have had architec
tural shortcomings, but its
basic curriculum of readin
'ritin and 'rithmatic has yet
to be improved on, she said.
