Minecrr Backs Schools' Methods Of Teaching SALEM (AP) No one sys-' tem of teaching reading is ade quate. Dr. Leon P. Minear. state superintendent of public instruc tion, said Monday. This is his answer lo critics who demand that schools go hack to teaching just phonics. Under the phonics system, the sound of each letter is taught, and the pupil builds his word sounds upon that. Dr. Minear said a good reader uses phonics plus recognition of words and phrases on .fight. He also obtains some meanings hv context, makes structural an alysis of some words, and learns lo recognize prefixes and suffixes. Oregon schools help children use all of these approaches, and they are doing a better job than ever before. Dr. Minear said. Use of phonics alone, he went on, "contributes to slow reading because children then attack each single word instead of grouping Power Tie Supported By Hatfield SALEM IAP - Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield said today he would sup port the proposed electric intertie between the Northwest and Cali fornia provided Oregon's interests are protected. He said, after a conference with his advisers on the subject, that I he proposal by the Bonneville Power Administration might have merit. Under the proposal, surplus pow er would be sold lo California at certain times, while some surplus California steam-generated power could be sold in the Northwest. "I jusl want to make sure that Oregon wouldn't have a power shortage as a result of the inter tie. "I recognize that Bonneville wants this line in order lo erase its financial deficit. And 1 recog nize thai we have a moral respon sibility to see that the surplus power is used rather than thrown away." the governor said. Girl Admits Story Hoax EUREKA, Calif. UPI Eby. lunn Ncppcr, 16. a Utah girl, who said two men kidnaped her and brought her lo Northern Califor nia. has admitted that her story was a hoax. She told police Monday night that she fabricated her kidnap story as an excuse to run away from home in Magna. Utah. Her parents were to pick her up today. The plump blonde, wearing blue jeans and a yellow blouse, had first claimed that the two men had offered her a ride while she was on her way (o a baby-sitting job in Magna lasl Thursday. She accepted because she knew one of the men. But instead of taking her to her destination, she said she had been driven to California. She said she had not been able to escape until Saturday when they stopped for gas in Fort Bragg. Calif. Police began to doubt the girl's story when her acquaintance, Phil Marsh, 22. Magna, turned himself in. He said the girl had come wilh them voluntarily. A check with Magna authorities revealed that the girl had run away from home several times in the past. She finally confided lo a police doctor that she had made up the kidnap story. But police said she was uncooperative and would not i discuss any details of her trip. The search continued for the other man. Tom Hall, .12, Magna. words and phrases. It also causes children to devote attention to' isolated words. "English spelling is not entirely phonetic, so many words cannot, be unlocked through phonetic an- j alysis." He said most people don't rec ognize that "reading is a highly complex, abstract skill. There has been more research done in the area of reading than in any other educational area." This research, he said, shows wide differences in reading ability of children. He said the usual fifth grade class room will have five differ ent reading levels. Some have as high as eight or nine. "II is very important." he said, "that reading should be very lu cnt and not a laborious process of deciphering the sound of words. Effective reading involves instan taneous recognition of whole words and even phrases." He said no mature reader reads letter by letter, as is done under the phonics system. "When leaching reading." he added, "the teacher is a special ist, highly skilled, working with exceedingly intricate problems." And in training America's next generation of leaders, the schools are doing a better job than ever before, ho concluded. Open Your Savings Account Now! Daily Interest Paid On Savings!
