It is not only broadening culturally, but it promotes a ' social understanding. Unfortunately, many children have readl ing difficulties which, if corrected, would prevent their development into maladjusted adol- ; escents and adults, according to ; the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society in a health' talk. While reading readiness is generally considered by \he age of Six, it should be remembered that the mental and not the physical age is important. Some children can read simple sentences at> the age of five and even four. Rekding difficulties stem from ihany causes?1 Very often, an eye defect is involved. And then again other physical and mental factors are the cause for this condition, which is medically identified {is dyslexia, stemming from the Greek "dys" meaning abnormal, and "lexis," meaning reading. Today the«term is not restricted to reading disability but to all mental and physical factors involved. A child with reading difficulties need not be mentally deficient, since many physical factors are involved, making the problem one for the physician and educator alike. According to a summary of the National Society for the Study of Education, such physical deficiencies cover malnutrition, fatigue, infections,' defective glandular activities, •bodily injuries and defects, visual and auditory defects. Other factors include educational immaturity, general emotional instability and inadequate teaching. While a slow intelligence appears in some children with dyslexia, it is interesting that the condition also accompanies children of a very high intelligence. Strangely enough, the teacher is often blamed by the parent for the child's inability to read. While the need of a carefully supervised* teaching program is recognized, the responsibility cannot all Hk aagumpd by the teacher. Intelligence meant the ability or capacity to leain. Next to it a healthy, good functioning body Is essential to the learning process. That is Why the child must be given an . equal - opportunity with his companions. Tlie child with reading difficulty, .because of the tinsurenesB, the uncertainty in forming the oral word, is subjected to the unkind ridicule of his little associates. And his defect takes on such an emotional tempest that many characteristics are apt to develop, leaving the child unhappy, inclined to withdraw from companionship and become secretive. Many parents push the child too fast. In an effort to hurry up, his learning process, they will encourage him to read material beyond his comprehension. The original difficulty then becomes exaggerated arid more harm is accomplished. Children with reading difficulties should be given a careful examination to rule out the presence of physical and mental factors that may be responsible.- And the environment of the home should be studied, since the child reacts so strongly to the influences about him. It is logical that everything that Influences the child's life will also influence his learning ability. Once the cause is determined and remedial measures instituted), progress will be noted. PA'S TAVERN JOHN THENNES, Prop. Strikes can kill a city. A hotel, a furniture store, two hardware stores and a sporting goods outlet have closed in Port Arthur, Texas, following a strike that started a year ago with 350 store clerks, waitresses and bellhops. The estimated loss runs as high as twenty million dollars in retail volume in the past year. The UADA is constantly importing plants from abroad. The objective is to get new foundation stock which may add good qualities to the various crops which"" we how "produce, and also to bring such new types of plants in as may prove to be adapted to j conditions ih some parts of the' United States, Dr. A. H? Moseman, director of crop research in Washington, stated in a discussion before the Flax Institute at Minneapolis recently that his 'organization had imported 12,000 cereal types since 1948. Of these, 1300 introductions were corn, 45CT soighum, and more than 200 were flax. From the new strains will undoubtedly come much good. It/may be well to remember that the first soybeans wer# brought into this country only a few years ago -- as time goes. Numerous other crops which have started anew and become important within the last half century, came from seed stock importeid from abroad by U.S.D.- A. scientists who spent much time searching the valleys, hills and mountains of the world „in search of hardy, useful plants. MILK PRODUCTION The production of milk on Illinois farms during November totalled 362 million pounds, 6 per cent below the previous month and . two per cent less than in November, 1953, according to a report by the state and federal departments of agriculture. Milk production per cow was 430 pounds in November, seven per cent below October, but 2 per cent above last year and 18 per cent over the ten-year average. Favorable weather and liberal feeding of grain contributed to the high rate of production, the report said. May you gain added weehfc And glow with robust health!
