This point is brought out in an edi torial in the current (April 15) Jour nal of the American Medical Asso ciation which says that an estimated 12 percent of all children in the United States fail to learn to read as well as the average of their school class. “It is doubtful that there is in these children any underlying organic le sion,” the editorial says. “Emotional factors such as fear, anxiety, rivalry, jealousy, hostility for the parent or the teacher and a feeling of inferior ity undoubtedly play an important role in creating these difficulties.” Three recent articles in medical publications pointed out the belief that the new method of teaching reading, the so-called "flash” method, is an important contributory factor in the creation of these disabilities, according to the editorial. “The flash method employs whole words on cards with pictorial repre sentation to develop pure visual as sociations,” the editorial says. “The method was expanded into a phrase and later into a sentence method. The child on entering school imme diately learns to read whole sen tences.” "These authors feel that certain minor difficulties (of vision) which were of minor importance under the older methods of teaching have now become significant.” According to one author, there were three times as many cases of reading difficulties among children who had been taught by the flash method as among those who had been taught by the older phonetic method, the edi torial says.

We had a great time, too — every member of the family “pitched in” — and we cleaned, scrubbed and painted until we’re proud of every inch of the house. Our favorite spot now is the old children’s playroom — a room that hasn't been in use ex cept for storage since the children grew too old to use it. But today, it’s a cozy, comfortable den for the en tire family — thanks to a little paint and fabric. We didn't make any structural changes, nor replace one stick of furniture — but you’d be simply amazed at the difference some new fresh colors made. For the walls — paint in a warm apricot coloring, and for the old battered table, chairs and end tables — durable, glossy Waterspar paint in a deep green shade. Just one coat covered beauti fully — for both walls and furniture —and it certainly changed the room! To make the transformation com plete, 1 made slificoverB for the up holstered pieces and new draperies. The sofa and windows are now cov ered in a gay, brown and green print — my two chairs in dark brown. And today, the room is so cheerful and inviting that we spend most of our time there!
