(UPI) Children's School Reading Books Said To Lack Adventure Bring Your Own Popcorn Closing of Washington's Capitol Theater Ends Some Sort of Era By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) - The famous old Capitol Theater in downtown Washington was .closed this week, marking the end of an : era. Actually, i I'm not sure which era it marked the end of. I just threw that in to get your attention. My journalism wcii professor once told me that nobody gives a hang about a theater closing un less an era ends with it. Anyway, the Capitol is closed, a victim of America's changing 1 cultural pattern. Its interior is being converted to office space for lawyers and other profes sional men. Apparently, more people go to see lawyers nowadays than go to see movies. And with law yers you have to bring your own popcorn. An effort was made to per suade Congress to save the theater, but Congress was too busy doing other things like watching television. So the Capitol had to close. As I crossed its ornate lobby and climbed its grand staircase for the last time, nostalgia was gushing from every pore.

I'm the drive-in type my self. What prompted my visit was the sale by auction of the Capi tol's furnishings, which included some valuable antique pieces, particularly in the rest rooms. I wanted to see if I couid pick up an antique "standing room only" sign cheap. When I arrived, the auction eer was holding forth in the "ladies' salon" on tile mezza nine. It was called the "Dubar ry Room." I didn't get the con nection. Knur cast marble drink ing fountains with cherubs on the pedestals sold for around $200 each. "Any arrangements for a plumber you'll have to make yourself," the auction eer announced. Eight brass poles from which velvet ropes once were suspend ed sold for $7 apiece. I asked one of the losing bidders what he had wanted with them." "Well," he said, "they ought to make good hitching posts." "Do you own some horses?" "No, I live in an apartment," he said. Unfortunately, the "standing room only" signs weren't put on the block while I was there. But I felt richer for the expreience. I had witnessed the end of an era. By DAVID NVDICK UPI Education Specialist Reading programs in schools have been under attack by non educators and educators alike. What effect has this criticism had on the schools throughout the country? In many situations, the only change has been an increased emphasis on the teaching of phonics (sounds). Some years ago the phonics method was under attack and the answer was the present look-say method. This cycle has not achieved much progress. What is wrong with the read ing program? An analysis ot instructional methods and ma terials seems , to indicate a variety of problems. Some of the books leave much to be desired. Take a look at your child's reading textbook. The stories may be dull and lack imagination. A child is looking for excitement in his reading. Our modern world is full of fas cinating events. These real events have more creativeness than made up stories. Must Arouse Interest I Would you read a dull novel? Why should your child? There cannot be true motivation to learn unless an individual's in terests are aroused. Consider the kind of reading materials which children do en iov. Have you ever had diffi culty convincing your child to sit and read a comic book? Boys race through the "Tom Swift" series. Girls are intrigued by the "Bobsy Twins." "Alice in Wonderland" is a classic. Why attempt to make children enjoy reading about a boy's dull trip to his grandmother's house? A research study, designed to determine the kinds of stories most interesting to children re sulted in some particularly per tinent information. An analysis of the combined responses of boys and girls in dicated that they were interest ed in action, adventure, sur prise, and humor. Boys as a group preferred themes con cerned with games, sports, hob bies, and handicraft activities. Girls indicated interest in stories about jumping rope, playing house, collecting dolls and doll's costumes, and caring tor tne baby. Valuable Information A study of this type supplies valuable information as to the kinds of stories which would in terest young boys and girls. Where are the best seller lists for children's books? Here is an untapped market. There are millions of youngsters waiting. Parents would not intentionally deprive their child of the oppor tunity to read a good book.
