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.
