Dr. Orton Challenges Education Practices for Teaching Reading
Two Per Cent of Children Unable to Read Normally by Visual Class Methods
Class Methods
[Skeleton Storybook]
Washington, May 8.—At least two children out of every hundred in the schools of this country are unable to read normally, and this percentage is twice as large in community where most of teaching children are enriched.
This challenge to current practices in education was issued by Dr. Samuel T. Orion, of Columbia, speaking before the American Neurological Association that the neurological aspects of education have been largely overlooked by psychologists and others, but that the time has come when specialists who have been studying the neuroscience and should come to the aid of education.
Until children go to school they learn languages by conversation, using their ears. Then they are taught to adjust their brain mechanism to learn laurances by a purely visual method, rather than through other difficulties, but some make no progress and come to be regarded as stumped even feebleness. Such a child might have learned language between b and d, or he may never have established in his brain the proper associations between a hurt ear and a face that overcome the tendency found in 30 per cent of the kindergarten children to read from right to left, instead of
Such children generally see and hear normal, and they may be trained to develop the proper associations with these methods of teaching, such as tracing the letters with their fingers, so that they feel the difference in their musi-
"Teachers are wrong to regard such children as stupid or unwilling to learn," Doctor Orton said. Neurologists have made great progress with brain imaging techniques, and also with the type of child that is clumsy and does not control his body in normal fashion. Whether neurologists can control the three disabilities combined together, Doctor Orton said could not be promised.
Teaching children to children by the entirely visual method is absolutely wrong, Doctor Bernard Sacks, of New York University, wrote in *New Doctor's report*, and commending
Work of Brain Is Audible
Apparatus Perfected to Amplify Nerve Currents
(Science Service)
Iowa City, May 8--Tiny sounds of the brain at work, sending nerve currents coursing their pathways, in the human body, were transmitted through the life for the first time reintroduced into a station of the University of Iowa.
Delicate apparatus, far more sensitive than any before perfected, picked up the infinitesimal sounds, magnified them 900,000 times, and projected them into the radio microphone transmitted as a light, rumbling sound.
In the test, a three stage resistance coupled amplifier, a portable three element oscillograph, a vacuum used and a signal current were used.
The event culminates three years of research by State University of Iowa and the Department of Psychiatry that was the work of Dr. Lee Travis, nationally known psychiatrist. The department offered technical, technician. They developed the in their laboratory at the University.
Developed for use in the study of stuttering, the apparatus has been adapted to allow children which is the determination of intelligence and the recording of emotion. It was developed in about 18-1000 of a second and a person of dull intellect reverts in a stutter.
The instruments may have a practice value in an aid in the detection of injury or in the excitement and anger show in the speed and nature of the nerve impulse.

Benton, a student in the University in 1924, called Saturnity and who has been an adminer and goes upon official duty, representing the compreiler of the currency in the examination of the course, is located in Japan, China, India, and other countries. He will return during the first half of the next year by attending university and will stay at London.

After a minute or two he will ask if you know Miss So and So. He will then proceed to tell your qualifications for honoring colonel.
The three young ladies seem to have much in common. "She is good looking; she would make a fine representative," says Ms. Duncan. "She is a good mixture. These are adjectives which are being passed about. The ladies in the situation seem to be following the policy that silence will win in the long run. After giving them a chance, they will succeed."

Turquoise Mosaic Found
(ScienceService)
Plaque Buried in Maya Temple Is Very Valuable
Washington, May 8 — The plaque of turquoise mosaic recently dog up at the ruined city of Chichen Itza is a tribute to our American art artist that a museum expert is now on route from New York to tour off the special mission of restoration of the city.
M. Earl Morris and other members of the Crusade Institute's expedition to Egypt, who are still at Chichon Izra, engaged in the task of restoring the old Maya
About 3,500 pieces of turquoise went into the making of the design in the plaque. Two-thirds of the elaborate piece was a glaze of turquoise hundred of years, held in place by the thin film of adhesive which once stuck the blue stones to a wooden backboard. The plaque is painted in brown powder. The beautiful object, dedicated to the Maya gods, is today pronounced the finest specimen of delicately carved wood found in the land of the Maya Indian.
Referring to the plaque, Mr. Morris stated: "The tiny hits of stone composing it probably were mired in Arizona or New Mexico, fashioned and designed with a very little far from the Valley of Mexico, then transported through some hundreds of miles of jungle, finally to be seared away as a dedicatory offering beneath the rock."

I've done a lot of pipe, smoking. There's hardly a brand or a blend that I haven't tried out at some time or other.
But speaking of smoking tobacco that brings real enjoyment, and never changes, I want to say that there is a certain appeal to smoking enjoyment in my life. Elmorewood
