WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
KERRY DRAKE
Pogo
By WILLIAM MORRIS

The recent sharp criticisms
of American education by Ad-
miral Hyman Rickover have
provoked the same kind OF
abusive response from educa-
tors that greeted Rudolf Flesch
when his challenging "Why
Johnny Can't Read" appeared
Flesch was criticized, scorne6
and even slandered in virtually
all the house organs Of the
teaching fraternity. But today
seven years later, the "see-say'
or whole word" method oi
reading instruction is ir
eclipse. Nearly every schoo
system has reinstated the
phonic method Of teaching
reading. So we can hope thai
the next generation of schoo
children will not be so cruelty
handicapped as were tht
youngsters forced to guess al
words without even beinl
taught the alphabet.
But all is not yet right with
American schools, as Rickovel
forecfully - too forcefully fol
some-insists. One reason, o.
course, is that many Of to-
days teachers are themselves

On top Of everything else there
is the whooshing Of westbound We
hicles on the two north lanes of
Denny. It is here that the highway
splits into the four lanes that 90
through town. This is the city
limit. Drivers barreling into the
intersection do not yet believe
that the showdown signs mean
anything: they want to bat on in
a little farther before they admit
they have reached city and it's
not just mirage. These are the
fatheads we fear the most.
We have developed a headache
just writing about 14th and Denny.
Some of the innumerable acci-
dents that have happened there
in the year sinte opening of the
18th Street extension probably
were caused by drivers similarly
stricken after coming upon this
unholy mess of cars and trucks.
At this incredible tangle OF
roads there have been weekly
smashups of varying degrees of
seriousness. So far nobody has
been killed. But somebody will be
killed, sooner or later, and there
will be more after that.
