Push Languages,
Study Group Says
Third in Series on Study Group Reports

\ ~
Expansion of the foreign language program in
Montgomery County schools and making it available
to all students beginning in the third grade hghlight
the recommendations of special study group of the
county's Curriculum Study Committee.
In a strongly worded report the group described
the teaching of foreign languages as necessity from
practical, strategic and economic point of view
This need is evident not only in our relations
abroad but right here at home the study unit asserted
AS examples of the latter the group cited difficulties
experienced by local Saespeople and postal clerks in
completing everyday business transactions with for
eign visitors because of the language barrier.
Accordingly, the group urged
l. Adding other languages, such Russian
Chinese and Arabic, to those already available
2 Starting foreign language instruction in the
third grade 1t now begins in the fourth grade, but
only to a limited extent.
g. Extending the language program to 10 years.
A. Improving present teaching methods so that as
students progress the of English in the classroom
would disappear.
s. Screening carefully all foreign language teach
for language competence.
g. Raising the minimum requirements for
LITIGATION of classical or modern foreign language
teachers.
Study group members said their recommendation
to begin teaching foreign languages as early as third
grade follows the almost unanimous opinion of ex-
perts in the field.
'These findings" the group said, "are based on
the facts that young children especially able
physioogcaly to initiate sounds that they suited
psychoIogicaly to undertake foreign language study
and that the early beginning provides longer Sc
quence of instruction It is obvious that the past meth
DDS of teaching modern foreign languages have been
ineffective"
With respect to teachingN methods, the study
group hit hard at the practice of requiring students to
translate and advocated instead more emphasis on
hearing and speaking skis. This is the audo-lingual
method.
TRANSLATION is not an objective of the eemen-
tary language course the group said fatty The for
eign language student is not being trained to decpher
messages from language to another. He is being
trained for comprehension and translation at the
early levels is both unnecessary and harmful
The audio-lingua method on the other hand, is
the logical way to learn foreign language, the study
unit insisted 1t is the way we learn English, the
group pointed out-by learning to listen speak, read
and write, in that order.
The report mentioned the of teevision in this
connection but seriously questioned its advantages if
any.
Eve are not convinced" the study group said,
'that TV is the best means available nor that our
county must resort to TV as the primary of
teaching foreign languages"

Social Security Question
And Answer Column

O. Would you please advise me
what / should do about social
security for a cleaning woman I'm
going to have come into my home
every two weeks?
A. If you pay her as much as $50
cash wages during calendar quar-
ter, you must report her wages for
social security purposes. A quar-
ter" is a three-month period be-
ginning with the months of jan
uary, April, July, and October. Now
as to how much the tax is and how
you pay. The tax is now percent
for the employee and 3 percent for
the employer, or a total of 6 per-
cent of the total amount paid. The
tax is not paid to the Social Secur-
ity Administration but to the In
ternal Revenue Service. Once you
have notified the Internal Revenue
Service that you will have a do
mestic employee, they will put you

blue. We see four blue eggs in a
robins nest. Robins like to eat
worms and cherries. Robins like

The Cardinal with "a crown.
The red bird with the high crest
on his head is a Cardinal. We call
him a king. The crest is his crown.
He sings, Cheer. Cheer, Cheer-r-r."
The Father Cardinal is bright red
with a crest and the Mother Car
dinal is brown with a red crest
and red tail. They do not fly south
for the winter. We will remember
our bird friends will not be hun
CRY.
Red Winged Blackbird
This is a bird with red wings.
We see them down by Slaughter
Beach. They are black with red
wings and we see the red as they
fly past US. They like TO live near
the water.
Catbird
The Catbird is grey. He has
funny voice. He says. "Miaw" and
he says 'Mew, New"
Blue Jay
The Blue Jay says. Jay, Jay,
Jay" He has a crown. He is a
pretty blue bird. We like to see a
blue jay.
Red Headed WOOdpecker

pecker with his bright red head.
Father Woodpecker has the red
head and Mother Woodpecker has
a brown head. They so rat-tat-tat
