Starting at 9:15 a.m. in the Columbine III, the President reached Key West in 3½ hours. He was accompanied by his brother, Dr. Milton Eisenhower, and Mamie Eisenhower would follow them down for New Year's weekend. He got a rousing welcome as he drove from Boca Chica Naval Air Station to the Key West U.S. Navy Base, passing along Roosevelt Boulevard, Truman Street (which sports a Margaret Truman Launderette) and by Eisenhower Drive, which had been known, until the night before his arrival, as North Beach Road. Not three hours afterwards, the President was happily whacking...
...kindergarten and the first grade, the teacher is supposed to know as much or more about each pupil as the child's mother. She must learn about his interests and his problems, check on whether he can follow directions, see that his sight and hearing are normal, observe how he reacts to his classmates and whether he is overly diffident in "social situations." Of 100 cases of reading disability, Paul Witty once found that 14% had defective vision, 12% were in poor health, 3% had poor hearing. But more important than these physical handicaps were the mental ones: lack...
...firmly among top 20th century composers. It is a position he has been promising to occupy ever since his Symphony No. i crashed onto the scene in 1926, when he was 19. During the '20s and '30s, his work was notably uneven, as he tried to follow the musical party line. In the early war years -when he made headlines because he stood duty as a fire fighter in Leningrad-he completed his highly touted Symphony No. 7, which in fact was a ragtag and feeble-though thunderous-work. But Shostakovich's new Concerto is strong...
...headmaster had no reply. Emphasis in the school has shifted toward intellectually challenging the top half of the class. The others have to follow along the best they can--and must have a certain IQ not to flunk out. This situation disturbs the headmaster. His graduates have a very successful record in gaining admittance to college, but he has no idea where the school itself is heading. He fears that if the current emphasis on intellectual capabilities continues, the institution cannot survive in competition with large schools which can attract more easily first-rate students with their better facilities...
Since the boys cannot go on camping trips, they earn their merit badges by telling the leaders how to follow a trail, how to build a fire, how to treat blisters, burns and snakebites. Most of them have learned to identify trees and to tell directions in the woods. Although many of the physically handicapped are confined to wheelchairs with cerebral palsy, polio, arthritis or paraplegia, they have proved remarkably adept at mastering certain basic normal skills, e.g., tying knots, which some of the boys can do only by using their teeth. The mentally retarded boys have learned the simpler...
