The Johnsburg Public School District 12, has just completed its second year of summer corrective reading under the guidance of Dr. Grant and Dr. Burnett, of Northern Illinois university, the supervision of James C. Bush, superintendent of Johnsburg public school, and the direction of Mrs. Ferol Tomlinson, director of reading for District 12. This program is sponsored by the school in connection with the federal government under Public Law 89-10, for any child in District 12, who has been referred for continued study in the field of reading who will promise creditable attendance during the seven week period of study and who can be motivated with the equipment and knowledge available. The corrective reading program began June 12. Twentyone children from Johnsburg Public School, and fifteen children from St. John's parochial school were enrolled. The children were grouped by ability level in reading accuracy and comprehension through a testing program set up by the director and assistant director of the reading clinic at the University school at DeKalb. From the results of written and oral testing these children were divided into two ability groupings. Each group of children attended class for two hours each day for thirty-four sessions or sixty-eight hours of concentrated study time. Each group participated in a motivational hour of study each , day that pertained to their special unit for study. One groiq> studied camping. This involved learning camp sites and their limitations in all fifty states, knowing equipment needed for numerous types of camping, reading road maps and studying geographical markings in the atlas, various types of travel and comparative costs, historical reference study, as well as spelling the names of the fifty states. The second group studied the American Indian. Historical and geographical locations and limitations played a great part in bringing the children in closer contact with the names of the great chiefs, their tribes, customs^ and their regions. With these units as background, the children had a purpose for reading and a guide for future reading. The concentration of instruction was then placed on the individual need of the child. A great deal of stress was placed on individual library work according to interest and ability level of the student. All Children enrolled read at least one extra book per week during the period. Awards were presented at the close of the reading session to the children completing the most outside reading. Children receiving awards were Debbie Benkert, Mark Davis, Susan Diedrick, Gregg Gomoll, Vicki Hudson, A1 Jourdan, Bobby Pradelski, Bill Stahlman and Sara Weingart. Mrs. Mabel Weber, Mrs. Carol Bolger, William Snow and. Mrs. Ferol Tomlinson incorporated a team teaching system for the motivational periods of study and then separated the group according to special area of concentration. Each instructor then worked approximately an hour each day with four or five children on a tutoring basis. At the end of the sevenweek study tests were again given under the specifications provided and remarkable gains were noted in nearly all instances. The teachers were pleased to record these findings and will now follow a study to check the percent of carryover as the child returns to his regular classroom in the fall of the year. Mr. Bush and the members of the board of education for District 12 have felt pride in being able to supply their community with this form of growth for their youth. They feel their efforts are well repaid by the interest and enthusiasm shown by the children participating in this program and they feel they are putting the facilities of the community to good continued use. They are looking forward to serving this district with other up-to-date services for the entire family. Dedicate Log Cabin On First Day Of'67 Fair Opening day of the County Fair Aug. 3, at 3:30 p.m., the Gannon log cabin win be dedicated as a symbol efihe early days of the pioneers who settled this county. Pre^rvation and restoration of the cabin was the first project undertaken by the McHenry County Historical society. It has taken almost two years to bring it to a point where it can be dedicated. Many delays and frustrations have been encountered in saving the cabin for future generations. The school children of McHenry County saved their pennies to help defray the cost of moving the cabin. The program for the dedication service will begin with Rev. Clarence F. Kerr, Woodstock, giving the invocation, followed by an address of welcome by Sanford Walkup, Crystal Lake, president of the McHenry County Historical society.

McEachren, secretary of the society; then the dedication by Rev. Kerr, followed by a reading from the poem, "The Pioneers," by Miss Rhoda Bates, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Bates, Woodstock.

Mr. Burton was later principal'of the school at Richmond. " The poem is quite lengthy and would take about fortyfive minutes to read in its entirety, so Miss Lqra Wandrack, librarian for the society, has edited it and condensed it to the passages relating to McHenry county references and life in a 1% cabin. The public is invited to be on hand at 3:30 for this dedication.
