...unvaccinated adult stands only one chance in 2,000,000 of getting Type III polio. If all eleven paralytic cases now under suspicion were traced to the vaccine, the takers' risk would be about one 500,000-and the risk of vaccination would not be justified. Among preschool and school-age children, the risk of getting polio from Type III virus in its natural state is much greater, and the risk of getting it from the vaccine is almost nonexistent. Delay in Type III Sabin vaccinations, until the experts finish their lab studies, is therefore justified for adults...
This suggested a chemical change, and Dr. McConnell reasoned that it ought to be possible to educate preschool flatworms by feeding them the proper memory chemicals. He and Assistant Barbara Humphries chopped up some well-trained worms and fed the pieces by hand to unschooled animals. The cannibals learned by eating: when they went to light-and-shock school, they proved to be flatworm prodigies; they learned twice as fast as cannibal worms fed on uneducated meat...
Much of the violence was clearly a summer's-end, preschool spree. And in Manhattan-where nine policemen were hurt attempting to control the crowd that turned out for an annual West Indies Day parade in Harlem-the nerve-shreddingly humid heat was mostly to blame for trouble.

The U.S. juvenile delinquency rate was up 6% last year over 1959, has more than doubled over the last twelve years. In Houston, where there has been little juvenile delinquency in recent years, police...
...official educational myth that a child is not physically able to read until the age of 6½ (when his eyes suddenly can focus on letter shapes, the theory goes), granted $61,900 to the Denver school system to pursue a unique program that teaches parents to teach their preschool tots how to read. The reading technique, originally developed for use in Denver kindergartens, was devised by Dr. Paul McKee and Miss M. Lucile Harrison, both professors of elementary education at Colorado State College, relies on a system of phonics based on the sound of initial consonants to help...
...Sister Mary Viva, principal of St. John Brebeuf School, knew that all the children lived in that parish. Three of the leukemia victims were attending the school when their illness began; four others were preschool tots with older brothers or sisters in the school; the eighth, though in public school, had friends in the parish school. Sister Mary reported her concern to the Illinois branch of the American Cancer Society, which notified Dr. Schwartz. Then Dr. Robert J. Hasterlik, of the Argonne Cancer Research Hospital, called in epidemiologists from the U.S. Public Health Service's Communicable Disease Center...
