In the early summer one may see Monty's
acres of corn, wheat or oats; and from the
front door one may step into garden of
boxwoods and lilacs.
Monty loves the wild ones, and in his
forest still are the beasts and birds of ole
Mungummery County. The bright calls and
the quick wing of the cardinal, the knocking

If the new" method is so
excellent why is it necessary
to take precious time from an.
other subject for six to eight
weeks in junior high to give
a refresher course in reading.
This happened in at least one
school when those who had
started school in the middle
40s reached 7th grade. I know
of more children who have re-

does not include those who are
retarded) now" than then,
We have in the schools now
many teachers trying to see
how fast they can rush classes
through a course rather than
how thoroughly they can teach
it. We have one student re-

that another student receives

never too much trouble for
her to give a student that lit

the difference between failure
and success. Now I hear many
children mot only my own
complaining that the teachers
won't give them this bit Of
extra help even though the
students are willing to remain
after school for it.
We have one teacher who
stands on front of a class and
says "- Is not my
subject. I'm teaching it only
because I have to.-

How can he expect the stu.
dents to be interested when
he's not? Then there is the

to grade on effort, not ability,
but who has no time for any

BY what I read I get the
impression that Amidon Teach

done when I was in school. If
1t can remedy these and other
inequities and II it means that
every teacher will teach the
same thing at the same time
and grade according to the
same standards, then I'm all
for it.
