Achievement of this purpose would transform the whole program of in-school and after-school education. It is widely recognized, however, that children now read below the standards justifiably to be ex¬ pected for their ages and intelligence. Still more disconcerting is the « fact that great numbers of them fail to turn voluntarily to reading for in¬ formation and recreation. How best to vitalize reading for children is a matter of contro¬ versy among teachers, makers of courses of study, and authors of textbooks. One group long dominant in our public schools, has insisted that adults should choose from classic and contemporary literature the selections which they are convinced children should know. This plan, used almost univer¬ sally for decades, has failed to establish the love for reading which had been anticipated. More recently, a second approach predicated upon the sup¬ posed popularity with children of lightweight and ephemeral materials has had wide vogue, but it too, has achieved indifferent results. There has been increasing recognition of the role played in learn¬ ing and habit formation by the factor of interest. Granting the dominance of this factor, it seems the high objective of developing a love of good reading might be attained through providing children with an ample supply 1 2 of literary selections which stand where the lines of student popularity and critical approval converge. The major difficulty in testing this plan has been the lack of knowledge as to which selections children genuinely enjoy. It is true that there have been many reading lists issued by ex¬ perts on children's reading interests. However, these experts in many in¬ stances have been in conflict with each other and with the results of the investigations which have been made in this field. Even the findings of the investigations themselves have been frequently in conflict, and because the approaches to the problem made by the various studies have been so di¬ verse and so dependent at times upon intricate statistical manipulation, means have been lacking for harmonizing the conflicts. Boys and girls of pre-adolescent and early years can begin to understand the value of learning techniques for making and keeping friends and for working with people. They are interested in learning how to dis¬ agree with people without quarreling, how to work cooperatively with others, and how to enter into social situations as hosts and guests. They are not equally ready for these experiences and sometimes girls, because of their greater maturity appear ready before boys do, but all see value in learn¬ ing to understand their own needs and those of others and developing tech¬ niques for meeting them. That information with respect to children's actual choices of read¬ ing materials is chaotic, is widely agreed. Might it be possible to find a procedure for studying children's reading interests which would meet tests such as the following? 1. Be sufficiently simple that it could be carried out in any school by a careful teacher without any special training in statistical procedures. 2. Yield results readily incorporable with the results secured by 3 other independent investigations carried out through the same procedure, thus providing for an accumulation of basic data. 3* Make possible the determination of the number of pupil reports on a given literary selection (secured by a determined number of teachers in a determined number of schools) required to yield a dependable reading interest score for the given selec¬ tion. U. Provide a measure of the relative effect of age, intelligence, and sex interests. 5>. Provide a measure of the influence upon children's reading choices of such interests factors as adventure, humor, roman¬ tic love. 6. Provide for the influence upon children's reading choices of the quality of the teaching (superior, average, weak) in the classes where the selections were studied. 7. Provide a measure of the change from grade to grade of chil¬ dren's enjoyment of literary materials. An examination of a considerable number of the studies in the field of children's reading interests seems to indicate that certain basic errors in collecting and processing data have been repeated again and again in spite of earlier demonstrations of superior procedures. An enigma in this situation is the fact that at times these errors have been repeated by studies carried out tinder expert sponsorship. There should be a sequential program for broadening interests and cultivating tastes is a gradual process. Continuous exposure to a variety of good materials is mandatory. The program for each child must begin where he is. His present interests and tastes should serve as springboards for future improvement. The main objective is to get the child to read. Evolution of the Problem.—The writer has been for sometime asso¬ ciated with reading matter in one form or another and has been faced with reading problems of many kinds. In his latest capacity he is concerned with getting school children to do more reading of a worthwhile nature. k While getting children to increase their reading has been and still is the main interest, increasing the reading habits of the public-at-large is the problem of librarians, generally. It is the opinion of the writer that these people should be studied as to the reasons for their lack of interest in reading or to the extent that interest affects the amount that they read. To find an answer to this problem, this writer felt that interests and preferences of certain se¬ lected pupils would give a great and important picture of what is needed to activate or to stimulate these persons into reading more.

  • Water in the Movies
    water brief 3 Peter H. Gleick Water is a theme that runs through all forms of popular culture, from books to myths to Hollywood and international films, with a growing number of shorter video pieces posted online at YouTube and similar sites. A surprising number of popular movies, going back almost to the first days of movie-making, have incorporated the issue of water disputes and conflicts over water rights and allocation as a central theme. Below Wateris a list of some in of these the classic Movies (good and bad) films. I’ve also included a few links to online shorter videos related to water. Huge numbers of these are available; here are just a few of my favorites. Feel free to send suggestions of others to [email protected]. Three Word Brand (1921): Paul and Brand (twins separated at birth, played by William S. Hart) become, respectively, governor of Utah and a partner in a ranch where neigh- boring ranchers are trying to get control of local water rights. Riders of Destiny (1933): Government agent Saunders (John Wayne) fights a local rancher Popularwho controls Movies/Films the local water supply and is trying to force other ranchers into con- tracts for water at exorbitant rates. King of the Pecos (1936): John Wayne stars in a classic battle over western water rights and land in the Pecos River country. Law of the Ranger (1937): Another western with a monopolistic rancher claiming local water rights. Bill Nash (John Merton), owner of the local water company and town boss, tries to control the valley’s water rights by building a reservoir, but he must get control of the key property and murders the rightful owner to do so.

  • Madness in the Films of Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson, Sam Peckinpah and Nicolas Roeg
    Journal of Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences (2020) Volume 10 No 4, 1413-1442 Images of Modernity: Madness in the Films of Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson, Sam Peckinpah and Nicolas Roeg Paul Cornelius—taught film studies and film and TV production at Mahidol University International College (Thailand), film studies and history at the University of Texas at Dallas, American studies at the University of Oldenburg (Germany), and communication arts at Southern Methodist University. Douglas Rhein—is Chair of the social science division at Mahidol University International College (Thailand), where he teaches classes in psychology and media. Abstract: This article will examine the work of four filmmakers-- Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson, Sam Peckinpah and Nicolas Roeg— whom have produced milestone works in the cinema that address one of the central concerns of modernity, the loss of individual identity and its replacement with a figurative disembodiment in an increasingly complex, technocratic, and specialized world. Preoccupation with the struggle for the soul and the resulting madness and the blurring and collapsing of boundaries, is what unites the four film makers. Three of the four--Reisz, Anderson and Roeg--originated in the British cinema, and thus automatically found themselves somewhat on the margins of the industry, yet the fourth, Peckinpah, is the sole American of the group. This article argues that his primary concerns in the cinema may place him more with his British counterparts than with other Hollywood filmmakers of the same era. The methodology chosen for this analysis firmly secures the films and their makers within their particular social and historical contexts.
