NEW YORK.-LeopOId StO-
kOwski was among the eminent
musicians who attended the
MunOz Marin-PablO CasaIs din
ner at the White House last
Monday night. On the receiv-
ing line before the dinner Sto-
kowski was asked about the
Houston Orchestra, which he
had conducted. He told the
President he resigned because
of the segregation problem.
Stokowski said about the Air
Force violinists wandering from
table to table: This tzigane
music, I do not like"
Clan Carlo Menotti and
Samuel Barber walked to the
White House from their hotel
and came to the wrong en-
trance. They had to hike an
extra half-mile. Douglas
Moore asked Mrs. Leonard
Bernstein to describe Jacque-
line Kennedy's gown in detail,
so he could tell his family all
about it. Gen Maxwell
Taylor, just back from over
seas, was asked by one of his
dinner companions if he could
do The Twist. The General
had never heard of it.
Menotti sat next to Mrs.
Joseph p. Kennedy, but didn't
quite get the name or the re-
lationShip. He was most i'm
pressed with her list of ac-
compliShments of her son-no
matter the young mans name.

ANN ARBOR - Gifted child.
rem often learn TO read before
they enter school. according to
Irving ii. Anderson Ph.D) Uni
versity of Michigan professor of
education.
One set Of statistics. based on
q sample Of almost 1900 children
with los Of lao or better. reveals
that. two per cent learn TO read
by fhe age Of three, six per cent
by the age Of four and 20 per
cent by the age Of five.
Another study has shown that
about one per cent of first grade
entrants have already learned
TO read without benefit of formal
instruction. OF these children the
vast majority are in the gifted
category.
For the most part says Ander-
son children who learn TO read
before they enter school have not
had home instruction but have
learned 70 read by themselves
by becoming interested in what
printed words say.
Such children need no teach
ings but only someone to tell
them what the words are. They
quickly learn to spot words on
this basis wherever they see
them and are reading before any,
one is aware of what has hap
pened.
Anderson says children with
superior mental abilities also tend
to learn 70 spell by themselves.
"one study has shown that such
children can be excused from
their spelling lessons and still
hold their own in spelling. They
discover phonetic elements as
a part Of learning TO identify
words" he notes.
Children who learn TO read
and spell on their own may find
themselves in a quandary when
they enter the first grade and
are introduced to formal reading
instruction says Anderson. Many
of these children are well beyond
the pre-primer stage but they
are often introduced 10 the first
pre-primcr Of the basal reader
series along with the rest of the
class.

is difficult to fathom" he COM
