PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS

There are many private schools
for the retarded of different kinds
and ages. Some, of the home
school type offer excellent all
around programs and MANY adj
vantageS.
The high rates in private in
situations, however, put them be-
yond the reach of most families.
1t is seldom advisable for a fam
lily in moderate circumstances to
spend large sums for a retarded
child, if it means that normal
children in the family must be
denied ordinary privileges. ,

Kirk Addresses
u. of d. Faculty
On Soviet Trip

DR.. George V. Kirk, superin-
tendent of Smyrna Schools, was
guest speaker at a meeting of
the combined chapter of Delta
Kappa Gamma of Maryland and
Delaware, held at the Dutch Inn,
Laurel, on Saturday. DR.. Kirk
spoke at the luncheon meeting
concerning his recent trip to the
Soviet Union. He stressed the
differences and aims of the Rus
sian and American educational
systems. The Russians, he said,
were being trained to conform
while the American schools at
tempt to provide the kind of an
education which will be most
helpful to people who will live
in a democracy. He pointed to
the growing body of evidence
that indicates there are many
things in the Soviet schools
which are not suitable today
even to Soviet educators and
leaders, but noted that America
must continue to keep abreast
of educational developments in
all countries of the world, and
attempt to incorporate the best
ideas into the American system
of education. DR.. Kirk had spok-
en- earlier in the week before the
faculty of the University of Del
aware as part of panel consist
ing of Wilmer Shue, DR.. Howard
Row, assistant state Superin-
tendent in charge of secondary
education; and Joseph Kleckner,

Schools. This panel was organ
lied by Dean William o. Pen
rose of the school of education,
University of Delaware, and was
attended by a number of the pro-
fessors of the university.
