Is Your Child Ready To Read? Next fall a pproxima tely 3,000,000 little tots of five a nd one-half to seven years of age will skip off to school for their first contact with a systema tic, pl anned learnin g experience. During tha tjirst year they will go through the greatest period of adjustment they have faced since their protesting arrival into this world. There will be no mother to run to when things go a bit awry ; they will be forced into consta nt compa nionship with other little ones who, they will find, also have their rights a nd privileges; they will be confronted by the despera te task of getting along with others; fin ally, they will be faced with the necessity of using their minds in a directed, disciplined manner. They will be entering formally upon the great bu siness of childhood- the bu iness of learning. If your child will be one of these little ones, you have proba bly been thinking that there must be orne way in which you can help him, some way of smoothing the rough pl a~e a nd of ma king his road a bit easier. READING, THE F uN DAMENTAL PROCESS
Although children a re expected to learn ma ny things in the first grade, their most important job is tha t of learning to read. Since 99 per cent of all first grade fa ilures a re reading fa ilures it is only na tural tha t you will want your child to learn to read easily a nd without unnecessary emotional stra in . Wh at can you do to help him ? To answer this question it is necessary to understand the reading process in terms of ,the a mount of experience background a nd mental, social and physical development necessary for success in beginning reading. MENTAL D EVELOP M ENT
In general , and to avoid a technical a nalysis concerned with the methods of teaching, we know tha t children who have experienced mo t success in beginning reading h ave been children who have had a t tha t time a mental ability equal to tha t of the average child of six and onehalf years. The child who begins his reading experiences before tha t sta te of m ental development has been reached may be unsuccessful , and as defeat breeds more defeat a nd, fin ally, a n active dislike for the activity,
by Harry Roug ie r路, M.A . I nstructor in E lemen tary Education
it is best to wait until that development ta kes place. ExPERIEN CE BA C K GROUND
In addition to menta l development the child who is to be successful in reading needs a broad experience background of the type that can be provided by the average parent. Visi ts to the store, the country, the zoo a nd pa rks, the circus, yes, and even to baseball games a re veritable treasure troves from which the child returns with rich, meaningful concepts of life about him. Certainly a child must understand what he reads, a nd things which he has never experienced either actually or vicariously can have but littl e meaning for him. On this type of excursion the child must be the compa nion of the parent and not the super-cargo whose childlike questions of "what" a nd "why" are a nswered only on the basis of the vicious doctrine tha t children are to be seen and not heard. By all means listen to your child, answer his questions a nd let him talk as much as he wishes. We know that the child who can speak in simple but complete English sentences is the child who, other things being equal, makes the most progress in reading. Wa tch the vocabulary of your child ; interest him in new words and in expa nded meanings of old ones. The la rger the child's vocabulary, the more meaning he will derive from wha t he reads. Pay some a ttention to proper enuncia tion and pronuncia tion. The child who says " ta t" for "cat"' may sound cute at four years old, but may have difficulty distinguishing sounds at seven. PROBLE MATIC THINKING
Tho e who do not understa nd are often inclined to put their tongues in their cheeks when they see first g rade children hammering and sawing in the school room . They walk away with the observation that children in their day were taught to read instead of to ha mmer and saw. They, along with many parents of pre-school children who look with disfavor upon the construction activity of their children, miss the point of the activity. The point is simple: the children a re doing more than wielding ha mmers and saws; they a re thinking, thinking through problems th a t to them a re difficult ; they
are learning to keep a series of rela ted ideas in mind, a nd tha t tra ining in concentra tion carries over into the reading process. Let your child build, tear apart, a nd rebuild ; better yet, get down on your ha nds and knees with him a nd wa tch his thinking develop. Be a pal- that's your biggest job from now on. SociAL DEVELOPMENT
Your child will also need a highly developed ability to get along with others. H e is still very much a selfcentered little individual a nd needs training in fair play, in sharing his toys and pleasures, in "giving in" his share of the time. Spend some time watching him a t play when the "gang" is in your back yard. Home training in fair play and in getting along with others will pay la rge dividends in school success. PHYSI CAL DEVELOPMENT
L ast, but not least, check his physical development. T a ke him to your doctor for a thorough examina tion . H ave his heart, his sight and hearing tested. Don't be contented with the old Snellen Ch a rt eye examina tion th a t locates only the near-sighted child. Insist upon the type of examination tha t locates the fa r-sighted child who find s reading a difficult, if not impossible, task. If you do these things, and if you provide the type of home in which your child feels secure and wanted, you will be doing your share towa rd his success in reading, a nd you can feel confident tha t when the school bell rings next September your child will start the first fa teful round well prepa red to find meaning a nd pleasure in those queer cha racters that we call printed words.
SPRING FOOTBALL GAME The a nnual spring footba ll game saw a n underclassmen team compo ed of non-letter winners go down in honorable defeat to a team composed of monogram men a nd the eight graduating gridders. The monog ra m winners scored as a result of an intercepted pass by Bill Knisley a nd by a conve ion by Beno K eiter to give them a 7-0 win. The game, played the afternoon of M ay 3 in the U .D. stadium, was a ttended by about 700 Flyer fa n . The lone score came early in the econd qua rter when Knisley intercepted a pass from T erry Lynch and raced 70 ya rds behind a bevy of monogra m blockers to score. After this tally the game settled down to a defensive ba ttle between two strong lines. The results of the contest foretell a D ayton powerhouse for next season. The Flyers should possess both a strong backfield and a strong line which will probably a nnihila te many a n opponent next season. Biggest surprise of the game was the m anner in which J erry Westendorf, brother of Gene, who distinguished himself as a very heady qua rterback the p ast season, conducted himself a t the arne post. H e had been tra nsferred from the end position, a nd after his performa nce in the practice game will proba bly be regular quarterback. Two freshma n backs, J ack Castignola, a half, and D an Pinciotti, a fullback, stood out for the underclassmen. They, along with Bill Knisley, Johnny Wynn, Richard Struga rek, a nd Joe Quinn should give the Flyers a stella r backfield next season.
GOLF Although the Flyer golf team has been shooting top-notch golf it has lost its first two ma tches to da te. On the tricky Mia mi U niversity nine hole course the Hilltopper tasted their first defeat a t the ha nd of the Red skins. Three days la ter they received no better treatment f:-om the U niversity of Cincinna ti. The golfer have looked very good in spite of their defeats, and it looks as if they m ay wind up the season with a good record in spite of their poor sta rt.

BASEBALL The Flyers 'ta rted the season like cha mpions by winning their first five games before dropping a n 8- 7 dec ision to Mia mi. The present record of seven wins against one defea t speaks well of the way in which Coach Baujan solved the pitching problem which was reported in the April Alumnus. Irvin Pa ngallo '4 1, Cha rles Zwiesler '41 , Eddie H enz '43, a nd Johnn y W ynn '43 h ave a ll developed into twirlers upon whom Bauj a n can depend. The Flyers opened up the eason by sneaking past the Univer ity of Cincinna ti by a 9-8 score in a ten-inning fray. U. D. led throughout game, but the Bearcats took advantage of Pitcher Pa ngallo when he weakened in the ninth a nd scored five runs to tie the score. However, the Flyers' uperior strength enabled them to score in the tenth a nd cop the ball game. A day la ter the Hilltoppe r aga in
won by a one-run ma rgin, this time from Mi ami R edskins by a 7-6 score. Miami tied the score in the ninth , but Pa ul Froendhoff scored as a result of his single, a n infield out, a nd a single by Fiorita to sew up the game in the last of the ninth .

The Flyers scored three runs in the first a nd five in the fourth to give them a n 8-4 win with Pa ngallo a nd H cnz pitching. In their second game with Cedarville, the Flyer repea ted their fir t p e rform a n ce b y winning, 12- 5. Charlie Zwiesler hit a home run with the bases loaded in this game. The sudden cold wea ther seemed to have changed the Flyers when they faced Mia mi for the econd time. The Hilltoppers led throughout the game until the eighth inning when th e Redskins scored five runs to tic the score, a nd then cla imed the game as their own in the ninth by coring a run.
