I remember this when reading
in the current Human Events a
brilliant article by Watson Wash
burn, OF New York, on the incon-
ceivable folly of so-called pro-
gressive educators who undertook
to substitute word pictures to be
memorized by thousands for the
phonic or alphabet way Of learn
ing to read and the disaster
that has come of it.
i
WATSON WASHBURN in my
youth was a Davis Cup tennis
player. ranked in the first ten.
I was beaten by him many times
but did win once at Chevy Chase
Club in Washington. A man is
permitted to boast of that in old
age. Now he appears in Human

We looked down once, says Mr..
Washburn, ION the benighted

And also we pitied the nations
whose considerable progress in
civilization had been stunted by
lack of an alphabet, such as the
