"With ail increase over last year of

This increase, which is prevalent
In many parts of the country where

‘Joe College Reads
Like A Kid, ’
Says Betts
Joe College may be able to match
his economics with his father, but he
reads like his 8-year-old sister in the
third grade.
That is -what Dr. Emmett A. Betts,
research professor in education and
head of the new reading clinic here,
has discovered.
“Several persons who have the read
ing abilities of children in the third
grade of public schools have been
found among college students,” says
Dr. Betts'.
“Third-Grutlc Abilities”
“The fact that they are doing ac
ceptable college work although handi
capped by: this, rudimentary reading
is one more' proof of tl?e contention
that many persons experiencing read
ing difficulties are of superior intel
ligence.”
The clinic has examined 117 persons
within the last few months and is giv
ing treatment in 31 of these cases. It
is strictly a fact-finding or research
unit. Corrective measures are offered
only upon the recommendations of
physicians.
