He had been so excited about his coming status as a regular first grade pupil! He had shown me his scribblers. his pencils. his books with all the pride of a young physician showing off his first office and new medical equipment. Now his school bag was lying in a corner where he had flung it on his return from school and he himself was sit- ting a forlorn little figure in- sisting to his mother that he was never going back to school - never, never - ha hated his teacher. What had happened? His mo- ther sent him on an errand and told me: The teacher had told the children almost the very first thing they must never ask to leave the room unless it was absolutely necessary. Then they must raise their hands and ask for permission to go. "i lust couldn't wait." Davy had sob- bingly told his mother," and I kept raising my hand but the teacher didn't pay any attention. Then she saw me and was cross and asked me what I wanted and I told her i had to leave the room and she said. "You must wait" and I couldn't wait any longer - " And indeed, poor Davy had not been able to wait any longer - His hurt and hum- iliation and shock at meeting such 'lndncss where he had expected love and understanding would not easily pass from his consciousness- Such incidents are not unusual Teachers are human and those first school days there is so much paper work. so many records. that teacher and supervisors can forget that those should be sec- ondary to well-being. physically and emotionally. of the little chil- dren themselves.

JOHNNY AND HIS READING Was it three years ago or more than a book by Dr. Rudolph Flesch. ”Wh y Johnny Can't Read" put all the blame for that lamentable condition on 'slght reading method?" He ad- vocated the old vocabulary and sound or "Phonics" method. As a matter of fact most schools had never dropped the older ways of teaching reading. They simply make use of all and any method. But there werea few extremely "advanced schools where teachers actually had to teach the ABC's on the sly! Now they can do it openlyl There is .1 very helpful book. "The Writing Road to Reading" (Whiteaide Press. N.Y. by Re malda and Walter Spalding that advocates a "United Phonics" method. It combines the teaching of speaking. spelling. writing an reading "into one integrated me thod." One of its advantages in that it is so simple that parents can start their children reading before they enter school - some even as early as the age of four. MONTAGUE W. I.
