Rather, by letting the student give vent to his own vague but gnawing concerns, the counselor helps him organize his feelings in a coherent pattern that both he and the counselor can comprehend. Then, counselor and student together can focus on the newly perceived problems to search for insights and solutions. Ideally, this collabortive effort develops in the student a capacity for productive self understanding and relieves him of a prolonged dependence upon the Bureau...
...theme of Miller's errand in "Perry Miller and Esoteric History." His first sentence strikes close to the heart of "the method": "The unmistakable impulse at work in all of Perry Miller's writing is his determination to get beneath the surface of his materials and reveal an esoteric pattern." One may quarrel with Fleming's word "esoteric," but there is no denying the accuracy of his insight; it was no private reality that Miller pursued, however, simply a difficult one. His remarkable announcement that all of Jonathan Edwards must be read as a "cipher" demonstrates exactly how Miller postulated...
...same telescope. Despite the star's enormous distance, light from each of its edges must travel a slightly different distance to reach one mirror than to reach the other. This tiny variation causes the light waves in the two beams to interfere with each other, and the pattern of that interference can be interpreted to give the star's apparent diameter...
...silicon. Westinghouse starts with a sheet of silicon eight one-thousandths of an inch thick and about the diameter of a quarter. On top of this, an even thinner layer of extra-pure silicon is deposited by evaporation and covered with photosensitive masking material. The mask is removed in patterns, allowing successive parts of the silicon to be exposed to vapors, such as boron, that change its electrical properties. Some of the tiny areas become built-in transistors; others become diodes, capacitors or resistors. Then a pattern of conducting material is plated over the whole circuit, connecting its new-formed...
...Sound, One Symbol. I.T.A. proponents believe that all this sabotages conventional ways of teaching reading. The "look-say" method tries to link the visual pattern of a word with its meaning, only to run up against confusing variations of form (all three letters of "AND" look different from those of "and," for example). Also difficult is trying to apply the phonic method, which teaches children to single out letters and their phonemic values so that they can read and spell analytically. In the 26-letter alphabet, one letter often represents different sounds in differing words-for example...
