By ED SMITH Battalion Special Writer Having trouble with your read ing? Does it take a couple of hours to read a single chapter? If so, talk to Dr. C. E. McCandless of the Departmentof Education and Psychology. “Most students realize the need to read and remember vast ^mounts of material in a rela tively short period of time,” said McCandless, director of the de partment’s reading laboratory. In order to enable students to cope with these extensive reading requirements, the department is offering two courses, one for graduates and one for under graduates. They are Education 681 and Education 101. NORTH GATE 846-6312 LOUPOT'S “You wouldn’t read a novel in the same way you would a history or a chemistry book,” McCandless commented. The novel might be for enjoy ment alone while the others might need more careful reading to dig out facts and other information, he said. Average students start the course reading about 250 words per minute. Most students, after four weeks of classes, are now reading about 350 words per minute and many are up to 200 and 300 words over their start ing speeds. This increase is accomplished through laboratory work with various machines. The magnetic reading accelerator helps the stu dents read quickly. It has an arm which passes over the page of print, blocking out lines at a speed set by the student. The Craig Reader is an elec tronic device which flashes indi vidual sentences and numbers on a small screen. Its purpose is to train the eye to quickly see and record images. As the students become pro ficient at various reading speeds, McCandless increases the speed at which they set their machines. He usually increases the speed in 50 word per minute increments. “If you are reading at a com fortable rate you won’t improve,” McCandless says. As a result of this he keeps his students read ing at an uncomfortable rate. Students test themselves after each exercise to see if they have understood what they have read. If they have not understood the material when read at a certain speed they do not progress to a faster speed. They first attain a level of about 80 per cent com prehension at a reading speed and then they go to the next plateau. TEAGUE AT LEGION MEETING College Station Congressman Olin E.
