X-15 rocket plane,'nearing comple-
tion, which is' expected to carry ~
man over 100 miles - into space
faster than 3,600 mph.
craft designed to climb to an alti~
tude of over 100 miles at a speed-'--
of a mile-a-second (3,600 mph), is a.
forerunner to the manned sa,tellite.
"We haven't determined yet •••
on th'is spaceship," he said. "But I
would think that this program will
remain' as an, 'Air Force project
since manned flight ,has been its
tesponsibility," Mr. McElroy said,
in det,ailing the mission of ARPA.
The concept behind the new
,agency was out'lined Jan. 27 by
the Secretary in discussing anti-
'missile missiles and other' space
systems in committee hearings
on CapitolHiIl. '
"Such projects," he said, "do not
fall clearly within the responsibili-
ty of anyone of the military ser-
vices.
"It is therefore entirely logical
that research and development
work on such, projects be placed
under centralized control and di-
rection, without regard to normal
concepts of military roles and mis~,
sions" and assigned to' one of the
services only when' they :approach'
operational, capability." '
'An ,appropriation 'of $10~millibn
for ARPA was included 'in, the sup-
plementaI"FY1958 money bill' for,
high priority Defense projects re-
cently passed by Congress. '

Remedial Reading
. Helen, McCandlish, a teacher with
12 years ,teaching experience in the
China Lake~ElementarySchools, is
a woman meeting a challenge by
helping ,Youngsters .with reading
problems. In -addition to her duties
as a kindergarten teacher at Rich-
mond School she' also teaches a
remedial readi!!g class.
She teaches 10 youngsters during
the week in small groups and de-
termines what, the problem is and
why the child is not reading 'well.
She says this is often due to poor
habits, no self confidence or start-
ing to read too early before the
youngster is ready to settle down
and pay attention to reading, thus
making him feel like a failure.
In her classes she concentrates
on lots of drill, the phonetic ap-
proach, and often' the kinestheti;::

she feels it is necessary to let the
children talk and to learn what
their interests are., After this the
student is a:llowed to select' his
own reading material,
Mrs. McCandlish emphasizes that
"remedial reading classes are held
for children with good potential for
reading, but who, for some reason
such as absences from school, neg-
ative attitudes towards reading;

ganization is an outgrowth of an
ambulance corps formed by a group
of Americans living in Paris in 1914,
during World War I.
During its first year of operation,
1947-48, approximately 50 foreign
exchange students were brought to
America. This year, 1042 -foreign
students were brought to America
to study. However, this is a two-
way exchange-foreign students are
shown our way of life and, in turn,
they show us theirs. After th~se
students complete their school year,
,they return to their homes and tell
of their U. S. experiences.
The portion of the exchange stu-

American summer students are se-
lected,from high schools which have
awarded an international scholar-
ship to an American Field Service
foreign student. The applications
are then sent to New York for final
selection, and then sent abroad to
the committees for placement with
families in over 30 different coun-
tries. Our teenagers spend July and
August living as members, of these
families, and thus get a chance to
become acquainted with the life and
people of another country. At the
same time, the host families and
their frien.ds and neighbors learn
about the United States.
