(UPI) i.dyToys- Food- These are the "payoffs" experts are using m a project to motivate the culturally and. economical ly deprived youngsters in one poverty pit here. A team of young educators and psychologists from six states has adapted the reward system, based on behavior, to get children that are two to three years behind in school interested in learning. The program, dubbed the Northeast Children's Project" by its co-founders, Dr. Richard Schieffeinbush of the Univer sity of Kansas and Dr. Frank , Girardeau, has entered its sec ond year in an urban poverty area off the snaking Missouri River. The neighborhood is similar to other Negro ghettos. There are the same dilapidated build ings, teen-agers huddled in front of a corner store, a sprinkling 0f government sub sidized housing and a popula tion relatively uneducated and poverty-stricken. Kids Unexposed "In such an environment," said Dr. Vance Hall, project coordinator, "children are not exposed to the proper motiva tion for education." The project has resulted in remarkable improvement in the youths. "I don't know of any other program in the country with this kind of results," Hall said. "All those that worked togeth er in the remedial classes last year have had their grade average m school jump point and tripled their output on an achievement test." The difference has been the reward factor, the project team emphasized. "If a student does well," says Dr. Girardeau, who adopted the system after working with retarded c h i 1 dren. "he is given points which can be used to buy candy, toys or food at one of our stores." The project, geared to pre school and elementary young sters has been heavily subsi dized by the Office of Eco nomic Opportunity (OEO) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Develop ment. "The OEO wants an imme diate return," said Ross Kope land, associate director of the Child Research Bureau at the University of Kansas in Law rence. "But we are interested in more than that. 'We want something for those kids now so they can help hundreds of children in the future." The way to accomplish this is through research and long range planning, Kopeland and his colleagues emphasize. "Our project is not to re main in this community for ever," Dr. Girardeau says. "In five to ten years the people here will be able to take over for themselves. This is what we're pushing for." The educators say the stu dents are gradually learning that it pays to go to school.

In New York, the critics wrote: "Once more, O'Neill gives stature to the theatre" Daily News. "Drama on a big scale" Times. "Here is a play to cherish, to see again and again" Daily Mirror. "Drama of enormous power, insight, and sheer emotional impact" Post. Hart noted, they are not ex posed to this kind of motiva tion." "What we're doing is over a long period of time chang ing their behavior which will in turn change the behavior of future generations," he said. After 12 months of improve ment by the youngsters, the educators look toward the fu ture with enthusiasm. This year, with a federal - state grant of nearly $140,000, the project is expected to include some 20 elementary school children and slightly more than 25 pre-school youngsters, in addition to courses for parents. The community has respond ed well after initial apprehen sion and the project team to day has "overwhelming sup port." Yet there are still problems a drastic shortage of space and an acute need for . addi tional money. "We have a long way to go still," says Dr. Girardeau. "Last year we spent $139,000 and this year it's expected to six habitual criminals and if be slightly higher. Yet this is we just save six youngsters not much compared to what it from a life of crime it will be costs the state to take care of well worth it."
