CIiuic to help learning disabled,
A diagnostic and
remedial teaching clinic
for children with learning
problems will operate
this fallat The University
of Western Ontario's
Elborn College to serve
the counties of Norfolk,
Elgin, Huron and Perth
and the eastern half of
Lambton County.
The clinic, to be
directed by Prof. W.A.
Scaldwell of the Faculty
of Education, will be
partially funded by a
three-year, $21,000 grant
from the UWO Academic
Development Furid. He
will be assisted by
research assistant Linda
Turner.
Dr. Scaldwell said he
expects the clinic
facilities will be
especially useful to
county boards of
education which may not
have ample population or
facilities to provide the
same degree of special
services as boards in
larger centres.
The goal of the clinic
will be to determine
which of three types of
learning is best suited to
a child and then develop
an instructional program
around that type of
learning, Prof. Scaldwell
said.
The three types of
learning are: visual;
auditory; and tactile -
kinesthetic.
The visual method of
learning is emphasized in
the school system, but
according to Prof.
Scaldwell many students
who are believed to have
serious learning disor-
ders, may simply be
unable to learn visually,
often because of
neurological dysfunction.
Some primary students
may have trouble lear-
ning to read and write
because they simply
can't remember what is
written on a blackboard
long enough to copy it on
paper, Prof. Scaldwell
said.
Those same students
may be able to learn very
well using a tape
recorder or some other
means of repeating their
lessons orally.
Still other students
might be able to learn by
touch what they can't
learn by sight. These
students can be helped by
a system of printed or
written words which can
be discerned by touch.
Prof. Scaldwell says that
such students might end
up with a file of these
word cards instead of a
speller.
Prof. Scaldwell said it
is important to reach
students with learning
disabilities by age 10,
before they have learned
to compensate for their
problem and before their
education is seriously
affected.
It's often difficult for
busy teachers to identify
students who have
learning disorders but
are normal in every other
way, he said. Because
their problems are so
hard to spot, these
students suffer,
"The ones with real
problems are very well -
looked after. It's the ones
that are just on the verge
that are ignored."
"School as we know it is
designed for those who
are 'normal'. But at least
10 to 15 percent of us do
Celebrate anniversary
not learn in the visual
manner. But because
school is a publicly
funded institution, it has
to suit the majority. If
you don't happen to be in
the majority, you have to
look elsewhere and we
hope the clinic will serve
that purpose."
To enrol a child in the
clinic, the school or the
child's parent should call
Prof. Scaldwell at 679-
6023. Any school-age child
is eligible. Once a
diagnosis of the problem
is made, a special
program is developed for
the child, who can remain
in his or her own
classroom. Follow-up
visits will be made by
clinic staff.
Prof. Scaldwell said
"educational diagnosis"
will be the first step for
every child at the clinic,
Once the problem is
pinpointed, a special
• instructional program is
developed and copies of
the program are given to
parents and teachers.
If the child lives close
enough to Elborn College,
he or she may be able to
get involved in remedial
teaching at the Faculty of
Education. If not, con-
sultants will assess the
child's progress in the
school at six week in-
tervals.
Prof. Scaldwell said he
hopes to involve graduate
students in the Master of
Education in education'
Mary and Norman
Mair
A former area couple,
Mary and Norman Mair
of Stratford, will be
celebrating their 50th
wedding anniversary this
Friday, September 1, and
they will be holding an

United Church on
Saturday, September 2
from 2 to 4 pm. All former
friends from the area
have been invited, but
best wishes Wily.
Mr. Mair, a native of
Holmesville, was em-
ployed by the CNR from
May 1928 until his
retirement in 1965, with
considerable years ,spent
in the Clinton district.
He started as a section
man, progressed to
section foreman, and in
1951 was promoted to
assistant road master
and section foreman of
the Stratford yard. For
the last nine years, he has
been employed by the
Parks Board for the
Shakespearean Festival.

studies program
specializing in special
education in all phases of
the project. He also hopes
the clinic will become an
important part of the
faculty's graduate
studies program.
Students in the one-
year special education
program are already
heavily involved in
remedial work in a
special program for
children with learning
problems. The special
clinic is held every
Thursday from 8:30 a.m.
to 10:30 a.m. Many of the
students in this clinic are
referred by Western's
communicative disorders
program and the
Childrens' Psychiatric
Research Institute and it
is hoped this cooperation
can continue as the clinic
evolves.
Prof. Scaldwell said
local county boards in the
area surrounding London
have been receptive to
the clinic concept and he
said he expects referrals
will come from within a
50 -mile radius.
In addition to the
diagnostic and remedial
function of the clinic,
counselling will be
available for students,
parents andteachers who
might want it. Prof.-
Scaldwell said teachers.

Recipients to take available work
The Ministry of
Community and Social
Services is reminding all
Ontario Municipalities
that employable adults
either applying for or
already receiving social
assistance are required
to look for and accept any
available work for which
they are physically
capable.
In a letter sent this
week to the more than 320
social services ad-
ministrators and clerks
in Ontario, the Ministry
said that under the
existing legislation and
policies; the expectation
is that employable people
must use their own
resources to the fullest
extent. General Welfare
Assistance, which is'
administered by the
municipalities, should not
be considered an alter-
native to employment.
The letter advises local
administrators to refer
people capable of
working to whatever jobs
of either =Short or long
term duration are'
available in their general
area.

TRUTH
oar
The Bible is God's message to men, the Spirit of God
guided in the choice of words In the original writings.
The Bible records at times the statements of men or
even of Satan which are In themselves not true, yet the
statement" 1s faithfully recorded.
Christ Himself testified to the fact of the divine in-
spiration of the Scriptures. He declared that they
would be fulfilled down to the smallest detail. Mat-
thew 5:18.
Christ said, "the Scriptures cannot be broken." John
10:35.
Paul affirmed that "all Scripture is given by inspiration
of God." 2 Timothy 3:16.
Peter wrote that "holy men of God spoke as they were
moiled by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1:21.
Pirciperly understood, the Bible can be trusted in the
same way as if God Himself were Speaking directly to
the person who reads the scriptures..-

The Knights would like
to take this opportunity to
indicate their ap-
preciation to all who
participated by buying a
ticket which helps the
Knights fulfill their
commitments to the
Arthritic Society and the
Pro Life movement.
"If work is available
where a person is living,
then they are expected to
accept it, provided they
are capable of doing so.
This is especially true in
rural areas of Ontario
where employers at
present are having dif-
ficulty finding workers
for farm labour, "the
Minister, Keith C. Nor-
ton, said.
A person may be
deemed ineligible, or the
amount of assistance
they receive reduced, if
they fail to accept the
employment without
sufficient justification.
BAHA'U'LLAH - "THE SPIRIT
OF TRUTH"
"Surely the Father hath come and hath fulfilled
that, which you were promised in the Kingdom of
God. This is the Word which the Son veiled when
He said to those around Him that at that time
they could not bear it. But when the stated time
was ended, and the hour arrived, the Word shone
forth from the horizon of the Will" Verily, the
Spirit of Truth is come, to guide you into all
truth." For more information write Baha'i
