Dear Mr.. Jones:
We are pleased to announce that

ected Mrs. Matte r. Miller to

room Teachers Medal. She is one

fairs employee has been designated
S one of the aWardeeS.
The citation and medal will be

Belafonte Folk Singers,
Coming to Civic Center

The first of the 1860 attractions
at the Window Rock Civic Center
will be presented On October Is.
1850. The group is the Belafonte
Folk Singers, composed of IA
plus 3 instrumentalists, and Rob
ert De Cormier. conductor.
This group came into being in
the Spring Of 1857 when Harry
Belafonte made a tour of the nat
ions major cities. It became more
and more apparent that these
men, slated ODE merely vocal
accompanists'' were turning into
distinctive group on its own mer-
it.
MIR. Belafonte decided that to
keep the group as his own vocal
accompanies would be ,depriving
the people Of a fine group of
blended voices. Now they tour the
country, putting to good use their
SPLENDID talents.
Tickets. are available for this
presentation at the Civic Center,
Window Rock, the First State
bank. and the Merchants Bank of
Gallup, and Thrifty Drug in Gal
lup.

Commonly used idioms in Eng

mother could tell, as he came
slowly up the walk, that he was

Slang expressions are very com

In learning English well as a
second language, the student must
be aware of what sounds in Navajo
are not used and which sounds
are used in different ways. He
needs to know that infection or
endings of words can make a great
deal of difference in the intended
meaning of the word used. He
needs to know the order in which
words are used in making complete
sentences. In English. We usually
follow the order of subject (noun)
verb, object or modifiers.
Classroom teachers in New Mex
leo need to study in the general
area of how to teach English as a
second language.

MIR. Jacobs pointed out to the
that if the additional room is add
ed, ''that we should more than
double the present employment -
That would mean the plant would

3 Mr.. Jacobs pointed out to the
Chairman that the main purpose
in coming to the Tribe was to
get additional facilities for the
plant, manufacturing and ware
house space.
One private contractor in the
area had proposed a bid of around
$50, 10000 to build an additional
10000 feet onto the present plant
at Gamerco. Mr.. Jacobs conclud-
ed his remarks by stating that
the actual building would be done
by the Tribe, and his Company
cannot and will not dictate any
proposals to the Tribe, and they
will try to abide and do the best
job possible, on whatever you de-
eide here in the Council.

In a recent article, George Boy
ee has written that after the Sec
ond grade more and more Indian
Children fall below standard grade
normS on tests. He goes on to
say that by the end of sixth grade,
the average achievement of In
dian children is two or more years
below published norms. The test
ing done in the Indian Research
Study at the University of New
Mexico showed the same results.
It is the belief of the research
study staff that the teaching of
English as a second language is
one of the problems most in need
further research. Even though
many Indian children can pro-
nounce correctly the words they
read, they do not know their
meanings. For example, one little
girl read correctly the word ''hon-
est" in her story. When she wrote
a sentence using the word "hon-
est" she wrote The bird will make
a honest"
Another child probably confused
the word guilty with quickly"
when she wrote Il guilty wash

the public schools. However. these
monographs win have little valus
unless the information which they
contain is read and understood by
many classroom teachers. One Of
Tho problems to be faced is how
to make this information available
in such a way that teachers will
realize its importance and make
use of it.
Many teachers did not study
sociology in their general teacher
preparation background. It seems
that in bicultural classrooms this
kind of information is necessary If
the teachers are to appreciate
their own culture and know their
own values and beliefs. M my
teachers lack the ability to evalu-
ate their own value systems. Many
times they also fail to appreciate
the values of other people which
are different from their own.
One of the major findings OF
the Indian Research Study was
that Indian children are retarded
in school with respect to their
grade placement. Teaching meth
DDS are needed that will give re-
medical instruction so that most of
these boys and girls can achieve
al grade level. This will require
creative teaching on the teachers
part and high interest and strong
motivation in the presentation Of
things for children to do.
Finally, tests are needed to pro-
vide classroom teachers with mea.
sures of the extent of abilities in
children at all grade levels A
picture vocabulary test that could
be used early in the children's
first year of school would help
the teacher to understand better
the extent to which English is a
foreign language for the child.
Standardized tests concerning Eng
fish vocabulary, such as knowledge
of idioms, slang expressions. un-
derstanding multiple meaning Of
the same word, synonyms, hon.
onyms, and antonyms, would help
the classroom teacher to see the
difficulty which Indian children
face when vocabulary is carefully
deve'o~od in language teaching.

On September 10. the Advisory
Committee of the Navajo Tribal
Council, Scott Preston presiding.
met with executives of the Baby
line Furniture Company to revise
the agreement with the Company
and the Navajo Tribe, so that
more Navajo Indian employees
can be hired.
The Babyline Furniture Com
pany has for the past 315 years
operated plant in Gmerco. N M.
hiring only Nvajo employees. The
plant was furnished by the Nava-
10 Tribe to the Babyline Co. with
the understanding that some 100
Navajos were to be hired by the
Company. In the last survey it
was found that only IS to 20 Nava-
jos are employed.
The Tribe was also to benefit
by Is percent of the profit before
taxes. These monies were not to
60 to the Tribe, but were to be
relnvested for additional facilities.
After a first years deficit, and
two succeeding years profits, the
Navajo Tribe received only 50, O6O.-
rs.
Mr.. Paul Jones, Chairman of
the Navajo Tribal Council, said
this about the plant operation. IF
the first industry that has been
permitted to come close to the
reservation should leave, then it is
gong to be twice as hard to at
tract other industries to come
near, or on our reservation, due
to the inability to make a profit
able agreement with the first
company.
MIR. Allen Jacobs, one of the
executives of the Babyline Com.
pany, explained to Committee his
problems, and answered questions
put to him by various members
OF the Committee. Mr.. Ned Hat
athli questioned Mr.. Jacobs at
length, on the profits to the Com.
pany, how the Tribal money has
been spent by the Company, and
inquired also if in the opinion of
Mr.. Jacobs the present location
and facilities are sufficient to car
ny on the operation another four
or five years. Mr.. Jacobs replied.
THAT if we do not intend to grow
or expand both productionwise
and employeewise, the present
plant will do. We are at manu-
featuring capacity production now
in this plant. 1t is our desire to
nave plant on Navajoland a
plant that will belong to the Ma
VaJo Tribe, and always be a per-
manent possession of the Tribe
plant which has better facilities
imam the one which we are in
right now, which three and half
or four years ago was only tenn
porary.' Mr.. Jacobs pointed out
that his Company will be glad to
60 along with anything that would
give additional room for present
facilities.
MIR. Hatathli inquired how many
more Navajo employees would be
hired if the Tribe built additional
storage space. MIR. Jacobs replied
