Reading Clinics Aid High Schools
More than 200 schools have been represented at the four conferences on the teaching of reading in junior and senior high school held this week, Oscar M. Haugh, professor of education, reported.
Dr. Haugh has been lecturer and consultant at the conferences, which have been at Kingman, El Dorado, Chanute, and Lawrence. The Lawrence conference will end tonight.
"The purpose of the conferences is to help schools get started on a program of both remedial and developmental reading". D r. Haugh said. "Very few schools in the entire nation have such programs."
A remedial program is a special plan for the 10 to 15 per cent of students with the most serious deficiencies in reading, he explained. A developmental program includes the teaching of reading to the other 85 to 90 per cent in all subjects where reading skills are used.
"In a good program the English teacher does not have to do every thing."
A general skill in reading does not exist, he said. More than 3,000 research studies have been made since 1925, and all studies indicated reading is a special skill, he added.
Last summer the University began courses in teaching reading as a special skill.
45 Attend Conference
About 45 delegates from 40 member schools of the American Association of Deans and Directors of Summer Sessions were welcomed today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at opening sessions of the conference in the Student Union.
The conference, for the study of problems of administration of summer sessions, will end tomorrow noon. Membership includes all Big Ten schools; Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas of the Big Seven; Harvard; Columbia; Southern California, and Tulane. Several guest schools are also represented.
George B. Smith, dean of the University and director of the KU summer session, is secretary of the group.

Dean Kenneth E. Anderson of the School of Education will go to Cedar Falls, Iowa, State Teachers College Wednesday to talk with graduate faculty members on research in education.

They Saw KDGU In Action
Students and faculty members saw a radio station in action at station KDGU's open house in Flint Hall last night.
They saw the latest radio equipment, including the movie camera being inspected by Victor Hyden, instructor in speech and drama and KDGU adviser; Janis Johanson, Kansas City, Kan. senior and station manager, and Bruce Linton, associate professor of radio and television. (See picture, from left.)
Operated entirely by students, KDGU is a wired-wireless station and broadcasts from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is the laboratory for students in the radio sequence of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
The station was started in the fall of 1953, and is heard in North College, Douthart, Carruth-O'Leary, and Battenfeld Halls.
Conboy Brown, Larned senior, was in charge of arrangements. He was assisted by Francile Aronhalt, Topeka senior; Charles Drew, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and Charles Belt, Columbus sophomore.
