Reading Clinic For Children Underway
Chapel Hill — A Reading Oi
ic to aid children who need im
provement in basic reading skills
is being conducted this summer by
tre University of North Carolina
School of Education at Chapel
mu.
Twenty-fivechildren, ranging
ing school classification from
grades three to seven, have been
admitted to the Clinic after hav
ing been recommended for such
training by their teachers.
They are children with better
than-average abilities who for va
rious reasons have not enquired
the desirable reading skills and
habits. Each child receives ap
proximately an hour a day of in
dividual help with his reading.
Ninteen teachers who give this
individual help to the children
are enrolled in a course in cor
rective reading being offered in
the University this summer. Ad
mission to th course was by ap
plication only, and membership is
comprised of expericened teach
ers and supervisors who have had
- wide experience in teaching read
ing.
In the course, the teachers stu
dy the causes of reading difficulty,
the techniques of diagnosing the
difficulty, and the methods by
which it can be corrected. Each
teacher uses in the Reading Clinic
techniques he or die has learned
in the course for teachers.
The Reading Clinic makes use
of the best that is available in
instrumentation for a careful di
agnosis of difficulty. A telebino
cular and an audiometer are avail
able for visual and auditory
- screening. The ophthalmograph is
used to photograph the eye move
ment of a child as he reads. Sur
vey and disgnostic tests are used
to make an inventory of reading
needs. " ~—J
After an appraisal has been'
made of the child’s present read
ing abilities, a program is plan
ned to meet the reading needs of
the individual. The corrective pro
gram differs for each child since
it is based upon the skills, atti
tudes, habits, interests, and needs
of -the individual. Library facili
ties, a voice recorder, a tachis
toscope, and a reading accelerator
are available to aid the teacher,
in motivating the improvement
program.
It is anticipated that this clini
cal help in reading will become
a regular part of the services of
the School of Education to the
public schools of the State, Dean
Guy B. Phillips said today.
'•“This is a first step in the de
velopment of a comprehensive
program in reading for the teach
ers of this region,” he said.
Dr. Carl Brown of the School
of Education faculty, who heads
the Clinic, will be joined by Dr.
J. T. Hunt, member of the Read
ing Clinic staff of Western Re
serve University, Cleveland, Q.,
in September. Dr. BrOwm has
been on the staff here for the last
year and has been working with
the public school systems in the
Chapel Mil area.

Dates An Set
For Opening
Tobacco Sales
Hillsboro — The opening chant
of the tobacco auctioneer will be
heard for the first time this sea
son on Monday, September 17 on
the Old Belt Tobacco Market.
The dates for the opening at
the various belts comprising the

eigh at a meeting of the Board
of Governors of the Bright Belt
Association.

ber 12, all markets of the Old
Middle, and Eastern Belts will
operate 4 and a half hours per

sible the Old Belt will be allow
ed to sell five hours also.
Local Tobacco warehousemen

earlier opening. The groups stat
ed that this was necessary since

FHA Supervisor
For Orange Area
Gets Transfer
Haywood M. Page, formerly
Assistant County Supervisor of
the Farmers Home Administra
tion has been promoted to County
Supervisor of Durham and Or
ange Counties, according to J. E.
Hull, State Field Representative.
Hie new Assistant County Super
visor will be Carroll W. Jones,
who was the Assistant in Duplin
County prior to this change. Lacy
W. Coates, formerly County Su
pervisor, has been transferred to

the past it has been necessary for
many leaf producers to transport
their crop to eastern markets.
Other opening dates are as fol
lows:
Oeorgia-Florida, July 19; Bord
er Belt, August 2; Eastern Belt,
August 21; Middle Belt, Septem
ber 4; OH Beit, September 17.— -
The beard -of governors in set
ting the dates and hours of sales
adapted in its entirety the report
of a special committee which has
been studying the problem for
several months. The committee
held a hearing here on June 19.
At that hearing representatives
of farm organizations suggested
that auction sales be limited to
four and one-half hours but sales
had to be curtailed several times
because tobacco redrying plants
were overloaded.
The committee said that with
a larger crop this year than last
the flue-cured crops could not be
marketed on a straight four and
one half hour basis. It therefore
decided that selling time should
be increased early in the season
and shortened later when sales
usually rach their peak.
The committee said that failure
of a portion of the tofcaoco buy
ing industry to provide sufficient
redrying facilities constituted a
vital weakness in the (tobacco
sales structure,
Wayne County.
