"The school system should be oriented to the students who have the most problems, not to ; those who are doing well," said j William A. Stewart, a member of the Center for Applied Lingu istics in Washington, D. C. Stewart spoke to 25 college English teachers attending a ' federally - sponsored linguistics 1 institute at A&T State Univer i sity. "One of the big problems," j said Stewart, "is cultural bias in the classroom. In evaluating motives of people, cultural dif ference can cause problems." He deplored the "cultural hangup" of many white teachers which makes them fearful about trying to and wanting to teach in schools dominated by minor ity groups. "Good teachers feel they are failures in these schools," added Stewart. "They think they are failures as teachers, but know the problem and the kids don't know the problem." Stewart said teachers often think that they need to stamp out the non-standard English spoken by some underprivileged groups in order to teach standard English. "We need to have a language competence assessment," said Stewart. Teachers need to un derstand whether their students speak standard English. If they don't speak standard English, we need to understand what they do speak. It's simply a failure to realize that these are cultural differences." Stewart said he would like to see colleges offer prospective teacher courses in non-standard English and dialect. "We need lots of studies," said Stewart. "Negroes tend to think they understand the white com munity and the white commu nity tends to think they under stand Negroes. Mutual ignorance is a two-way street. We have got to get the two populations working together on this prob lem." Non-veterans as well as vet erans can buy low down pay ment homes from the Veterans Administration. Over 750.000 patients were treated in Veterans Administra tion Hospitals last year.
