Get Back To Basics, Currin Savs Democratic candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Ben F. Currin called for greater emphasis on the basic skills of learning in the state's schools and a fresh look at vocational programs and other innovative activities in a Monday night address here to the Lions Club. "1 believe it is essential that our children learn to read with compre hension, write with clarity, and compute with accuracy if they are to enjoy any measure of success in today's complex society", the Rocky Mount city schools supt. said. "1 favor placing a high priority on teaching the basic skills in the early grades so that students may be able to master the academic courses and vocational programs in later years", he said. Currin cited the substantial lag in North Carolina students in comparison with the national aver age in basic subjects and also commented on reports of declining level of literacy among entering undergraduates in colleges and universities. Currin was also critical of spending on research programs, claiming that in many cases they contribute little of value toward the improvement of education. "If this money were spent in the classrooms to provide good basic education. North Carolina could bring its children's achievement up to the national average. It is being done without extra funds in several local school systems. It can be done in all of them", he said. "In this period of economic recession, we need to get more mileage out of every educational dollar. There is no excuse for waste of anv kind-esoeciallv policies that waste children's opportunities by paying for fads instead of funda mentals". he said. Ben F.
