Dade Teachers Attend Language ° ° Institute
The U. S. Office of Education
is sponsoring the Georgia
guage Institute and 11 other
'similar programs this summer
to improve the quality of langu-
age teaching in American se¬
condary schools.
The Georgia institute’s ap¬
proach to language mastery J
different from the old pattern
of memorizing grammar and
vocabulary. The emphasis here
is on oral linguistics in which
the student learns first to under
stand and speak a language
before learning to read and
write it. This is the same prin¬
ciple by which a child learns to
ralk—he listens and imitates.
The language teachers begin
their day at an hour-long lec¬
ture on either French or Spanish
culture, given in the native ton¬
gue. They have regular meals
together at which no English
conversation 'is permitted. They

Steele’s booming home run with
Roy McMahan on base, New
Salem rallied with two runs to
tie the score on a base on balls
to Julian Gray and Singles by
Wade Hall, Melvin McKaig and
Donald Gray. An error, a base
on balls, a long double by Wade
Hall and singles by Franklin
Baker and Melvin McKaig prod¬
uced three runs :r the tenth for
the v/inning margin. This game
was featured by the steady
pitching of Donald Gray and
the outstanding defensive play
of left fielder Lamar Massey
for New Salem.
Trenton-Cedar Grove
Trenton climbed to third
place by edging Cedar Grove 5
to 4 at the latter’s diamond.
Jack Blevins with a triple and
single, Frankie Woodfin with 3
