little or no reading outside Of school:

Unable to compete with his fellow
classmates for academic honors, he
becomes a behavior problem. Dr..
Marion Monroe, psychologist in the
Child Guidance Center in Pittsburgh
and an expert in remedial reading,
reports that ~ per cent of all the
cases referred to the clinic are reading
problems. The Child Guidance Center
in Washington regularly provides tu-
toring in reading for cases referred to
the clinic. No phase of the schools
program requires re-thinking quite so
much as theory and practice in the
teaching of reading. We create our
own problem by our failure ito recog-
nize individual differences and meet
individual needs.
Last year, through a comprehensive
testing. program, pupils unable to do
their school work because of reading
difficulties were discovered. Each
school made some provision for work In
remedial reading. A great deal was ac-
complished in this way, but the prob

help to the individual, but even more
one Of prevention through q change

the Capital to conduct two early sea-
son concerts of the National SYM
phony Orchestra, while DR.. Hans
Kinder goes to Philadelphia to be
guest conductor Of the Philadelphia
Orchestra
According to an announcement yes
terday from DR.. Kinder, Mr.. Won
Hoogstraten will be at the conduc-
tors stand when the National Sym
phony plays its second concert Of the
new season in Constitution Hall, Sum-
day, October 27. Two days later he
will conduct the local orchestra in its
first concert this year in Baltimore.
Appearances with the Philadelphia
Orchestra will take DR.. Kinder away
for both of these engagements.
Widely Known as Conductor.
In bringing the Dutch conductor
here DR.. Kinder pursues his policy of
offering Washington music lovers the
opportunity of hearing the symphonic
masterpieces not only with the aid of
talented soloists, but also other out
standing orchestra leaders. Won Hoog-
straten is a seasoned musician, widely
known as conductor in this country
and in Europe as well.

harmonic Orchestra at the Lewisohn

on, may be able to keep in touch with
the program.
The opening Of two new senior
high schools this September gives an
unique opportunity for building q
school program emphasizing charac-
ter development as well as scholastic
training. Senator Royal s. Copeiand's
challenge to the National Education
Association that the schools "restudy
the detectives of education from the
viewpoint Of the individual child who
must live in o complex and changing
society" will shape the policy and
program of these schools from the
very beginning. The Woodrow Wilson
High School has been selected for the
experimental center. Mr.. Norman
Nelson. principal Of the woodrow
Wilson, has been working with the
assistant superintendent, counselors
and teachers in preparation for the
years work. Mr.. Chester Holmes,
principal Of the Anacostia High
school, Is eager to participate in the
program and will do 50 In 20 far as
funds appropriated for carrying on
the program viii permit.
Work in the elementary schools last
year was concentrated In the fourth
grade. This year the whole school
will be included in the program.
Teachers at both the Cooke and the
Morgan schools from kindergarten to
sixth grade have been studying and
planning this Summer in preparation
for their work this Fall. An addi-
tional counselor has been added to the
staff of each Of these schools.
Work will be continued at the Hine
Night School and at the Cardoza
Night School. though the principals
of these two schools will give only
half time to the development Of the
program rather than full time as they
did last year. Principals of these
schools are anxious to confer with
prospective students concerning their
program before the opening Of school.
There will be no changes in the
program or in the personnel of either
the vocational schools or the Junior
high schools.
This program is attracting the at
tention OF students Of education
throughout the country. This Nation
wide interest Is manifest in letters Of
inquiry and in frequent visits by per-
sons from other cities. Bulletins and
other materials are sent to all colleges
Of education offering courses in char
acter education, and similar bulletins
are received from these other centers
of experimental work.
