Alphabet Experiment
Reviewed for Teachers
Alpha Delta Kappa winter
meetings were highlighted by
a discussion b;- Dr. Betty Lou
Dunlop of Southern Oregon
college of the ..periment in
reading instruction being un
dertaken under the sponsor
ship of the government in
England.
v It has long been felt that the
traditional alphabet, which
contains 2,000 sound symbols,
has been a significant cause
of failure in reading.
The Augmented Roman Al
phabet, originated by Sir
James Pittman, contains only
43 sounds. It is being used ex
perimentally with five year
olds in beginning reading
classes in selected English
schools.
It has been found, Dr. Dun
lop said, that slow readers
are advancing rapidly, self
confidence in children is great
and that children can read
advanced materia! without
help after learning the 43
basic sounds.
At approximately the third
grade level, children are
changed to the conventional

frequently been revived and
stands as the author's mas
terpiece. It is one of the principal
plays in the -epertory of the
47-year-old Cleveland Play

the general subject of news
media as presented by Hugh
Simpson, director of publici-
y for Southern Oregon col
lege. The regular monthly
neeting was held in Wesley
House Wednesday cvning.
Public relations is a rela
tively new and typically
American field in which ev
erybody's an expert," said
the speaker, citing the pro
motional techniques of organ
izations, business, schools, and
government. He commented
upon the failure of "yellow
journalism" to fool the people
all the time and declared that
the best of advertising will
not make a bad product sell.
Freedom of the press is a
heritage to be jealously guard
ed and despite modern tech
niques in a changing world
of automation the same prin
ciples should prevail when it
comes to loyalty and devotion
to country, according to Mr.
Simpson.
