Linda Olmstead and Kathy I Duggan.—Kathleen Duggan, reporter I — 2—THE MILL CITY ENNTERPRISE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1959 Joe Gregg Tells About Classes for Retarded Children Tuesday Night Joseph Gregg of Lebanon, president of the Linn County Association for Retarded Children, spoke to an inter ested group of about 30 people at the Santiam Union High School library here Tuesday evening under spon sorship of the Mill City Woman’s Club. The speaker was introduced by the new club president. Mrs Don Paul, who also announced the serving of light refreshments by club mem bers later. Mr. Gregg, who organized his group by calling together parents of retard ed children, opened his presentation by showing a moving picture with commentary concerning a retarded child of ten with the learning capacity of a five-year-old. The Greggs them selves have an 11-year-old son in ap proximately the same category. During the speaker’s enlightening talk, the following facts came bo light: according to a recently enacted law, any school district with 12 or more retarded children in the right age group is required to start a special class for them; there are 61 such classes in Oregon; it is hoped to start this program in each town where there is a high school; and a class could probably be started here if the people were enough interested to do the groundwork. It was stated that there are approximately 550 school age children in the canyon this side of the Mari-Linn School. State requirement to be met would include: 8 years as the best age for the children to receive the prelim inary tests under the direction of school authorities; any group formed to include no less than 12 nor more than 15 children, with an age-spread of not more than 4 years, chronlogic- ally; each must be certified by the State Department of Education, as must the teacher of such a group; a desirable room and furnishings in the regular school plant would have be made available, along with special equipment if necessary, and transpor tation if required. Mr. Gregg stated that funds of $4,000.00 per year were available through the State for this program, $2500.00 of this amount to go toward the teacher’s salary. This plan is considered by author ities to be most helpful to children with an intelligence quota of from 50 to 90, the result being ascertained through standard tests for that pur pose. Through the question and answer period which followed Mr. Gregg’s talk, it was learned that the specializ ed class for retarded children would permit them to mingle with normal children in play activities, cafeteria, and assemblies, without suffering the embarrassment of class competition and holding back regular progress of others.
