This also starts with vowel sounds, then goes on to consonants, and within a few weeks, to the rules of spelling. Last year Champaign found that while 43.4% of the pupils taught by the standard method scored below the nation al reading level, the score for the Sloop-trained pupils was only 20.7% below...

Ford's 1955 sales will be even bigger: the total for the first nine months of the year was $4,042,600,000. Dividends in 1955 were equivalent to $3.27 a share of the capital stock to be outstanding next month, and Ford plans to start the new stock off on a $2.40-a-share yearly basis...
