System Unimportant If the Student Learns
To parents, there probably seem to be two or more conflicting opinions concerning questions on education, and they may wonder whether this indicates confusion among educators and researchers.
Unfortunately, in some cases this is true. Perhaps it is not actual confusion but surely there is a need for more conclusions based on good research. It is difficult to arrive at answers which apply to everyone when you are dealing with human behavior. Each individual and his environment is different. Judgments which are important in education naturally vary.
HOWEVER, YOUR first concern is, and should be, the effects upon your child.
The area of reading seems to be a
Rebel Student Drowns in Cuba
HAVANA—(UPI) —Warren Hill, 20, of Brooklyn, N.Y., drowned while swimming in a hotel pool Sunday in Santiago, Cuba. Hill was one of the 59 American students here as guests of the Cuban government.
The students arrived via Prague, Czechoslovakia in defiance of a U.S. ban on travel to Cuba.
A spokesman for the Foreign Relations Ministry said Hill apparently suffered shock after diving into the pool, and drowned before his companions could save him.
Foreign Minister Raul Roa sent a message of condolence to Hill's parents. The body was brought here Monday, and it was believed arrangements will be made to ship it to the United States.
The Cuban government offered any possible aid to Hill's parents.
The American students group is led by Levi Laub who accompanied the body here. The remainder of the group stayed in Santiago.

good example for discussion. Some schools emphasize a phonics program (the sounds of letters and their combinations). Other schools emphasize the look-say method (learning the entire word). The majority of children learn to read quite adequately with either approach. Those who are having difficulty probably have some specific problem which is interfering with their learning.
What does this mean? Actually both methods achieve success. It is a matter of judgment to choose one in favor of the other. Each group probably will defend their approach as the proper answer. Research does not give the answer so that at this time we must assume that there are several ways to do the job properly. The one used probably should depend upon such factors as the training of the teachers and the local results obtained with the students.
THIS TYPE OF controversy also exists in mathematics, language, school organization (team teaching, departmentalization, etc.), social studies, and many other areas involved in education.
Your first interest as a parent should be to be certain that your child is learning. If he is having difficulty, find out why. There are many causes for problems. They may be psychological, physical, or neurological. Don't assume that the school or its program is to blame. This won't help your child. Any basic program change will probably take too long to be of value to your child.
On the other hand, don't think that there are controversies in every area. There is a good deal of research which indicates what should be done in education. You should seek reasons for particular actions.
THE MOST IMPORTANT factor to remember in all of these controversies is how your child can benefit. He will probably succeed in any program where the teachers and facilities are of a high quality.

The Shriners were mighty folksy in their approach to the big city—the hung up wash out of their hotel windows, bathed in the Grant Park Buckingham Fountain and even threw a block party.
Of course, their block party was a little bigger than most.
EVERYONE in Chicago knew it.
That morning 100,000 Shriners,
their fezzes set soberly on their
heads, were bound for home.
CHICAGO — (UFI) — The Loop bartender looked around his place and surveyed the sea of swizzle-sticks littering the floor.
Though the 89th Shriners convention ended officially with a miles-long parade, thousands of Shriners milled about the Loop and near North Side bistro area until even the city closed down the next morning.
The Shriners and their families—nearly a half-million in all—spent an estimated $35 million during their five day stay. The Chicago convention bureau called it the biggest and greatest convention ever held anywhere in the world.
Busy Wacker Drive in the Loop was barricaded and people danced all night.

IN ITS quieter moments, the convention elected Harold C. Close as Imperial Potentate of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

In his first official act, Close appointed the Rev. Russell Edward Caminas Imperial Chaplain.
He took over as head of the 840. - 000 Shriners in the United States, Mexico, the Canal Zone and Canada.

One beaming Shriner said he would never forget his visit here. A tired Chicagoan answered: "Neither Will I."

EUREKA, Calif.—(UPI) —Leanam P. Berry, 53, of Eureka had a logical explanation when asked why he was floating around in Humboldt Bay, after a fishing boat pulled him out after he had been in the water some 20 minutes.
They Were Right
Asked how come, he told police "Well, everybody has been telling me to jump in the bay, so I did."
