CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE


LORENA had been angry at Shot

didn't like boorish men or men
given to too much violence. She felt
this was an era Of gentility for
male as well as female-she didn't
remember that she herself had
wanted to ride to the battle be-
tween cowboys and Mexicans just
three. nights ago-and Mr.. Rogers
had almost ruined her first dance
in Arizona by cracking rival with
his fist. She remained angry with
him until midnight.

himself came back in. And she went
to bed that night treasuring the lit
tie scene incident to his return.
She had never before been a part
Of anything just like that. Tired
as she was, she didn't sleep until
almost Ave, when dawn was al
ready frightening the Phantom
ranch country. She felt a trif1e
guilty because it was Sunday
morning. She had no idea a Satur-
day night dance would last SO
late.
She got up at one O'Clock feeling

LEARNING to read is the most
important single accomplishment in
the early formal education Of the
child. Since every. other kind OF
"book learning" depends on this, it
is source of great concern to par
ents and teachers when pupil lags
behind in reading.
With the opening of school in
prospect, many anxious thoughts in
many homes are directed towards a
delinquent of this kind in the house
hold.
It will be encouraging to learn
that reliable studies made in large
child guidance clinic indicate that
the old concept-that the child who
is slow in learning to read is lacking
in intelligence-is unfounded.
In the early grades in school
work most of the failures in promo
ton were due to failure in reading

Few of Low Intelligence

4U per cent In GraOo IL, anu 90 per
cent in Grade III were so classified.
Few of Low Intelligence
In a study of such pupils, the
fundamental causes Of failure were
eliminated-eye defects and ear de-
fects had been corrected. The intel
ligence quotient of this group was
satisfactory, but Of an entire group
of Grade I, II and III pupils who
could not read, the number of low
intelligence-quotient cases was very
small.
So, starting with intelligent pu-
pills who could see and hear well,
this was what was found:
A frequent and fundamental diff
Guilty was that the children came
from foreign homes where no Eng
lish was spoken. One child never
learned to speak English until he
started school.
This is a situation existing in our
country which it would seem to
any patriotic American should be
stopped. In a time of great world
stress, is it not reasonable to de-
mand of anyone seeking permanent
residence in our country that he or
she should speak the American Ian
guage Tin the pathological sense of
H. L. Mencken, not the Chamber of
Commerce psychological sense)
How can they become Americans
otherwise?
Should Child Be Read To?
Reading, like speech, is born of
necessity. Many Of these children
had been read to all their lives. The
advisability of parents reading to
children, without demanding an
equal amount Of reading on the part
of the children, is questioned. Even
more dangerous is the presence of
an aggressive older brother or sis
ter in the house who snatches away
the newspaper or book and does the
reading for the younger member.
Timidity was characteristic of
half the children studied. Lack of
interest in school was noted in a
third. The group was decidedly not
the Intellectually curious or aggres-
sive type.
Some stopped learning to read.
This was not due to lack of intelli-
gence or to any gross physical de-
feet, but to more subtle things. 1t
