CARDIGAN MOUNTAIN SCHOOL, CANAAN, N. H .
NOVEMBER, 1968
Former Peace Corps Member On Faculty Mr. Richard Perry is a new member of the Cardigan family and teaches in t:he science department. He received his A.B. degree from ,Dartmouth College in June of 19'66. Mr. Perry is one of three new members of the faculty that have recently served in the .P eace Corp. Mr. Peter Austin and Mr. Richard Weeks both returned from Peace Corps duty and the Chronicle will feature their stories in future editions. Mr. Perry was married during his senior year at Dartmouth. His lovely wi!fe is Heather Perry; she too was in the Peace Corps with him. Mr. and Mrs. iPerry served their duty on Namoria Island, one of the thirty-three inhabited islands of the Marshall chain. The Perrys taught English to the islanders and found them much more receptive to education than some students might be in areas of this country. Mr. Perry taught seventh and eighth graders, their average age being 17½. The students ranged in age from 13 to 23 . Mrs. Perry did point out, however, that the lower grade children were much nearer normal grade age. She said that the recent development of Peace Corps schools account for the older age of the students. The Perrys estimated that their seventh and eighth grade students were about at a fifth grade level , but they feel that the level of education is slowly improving on the islands. When asked about the general attitude of the people, ~'Ir. Perry said that they were friendly, in fact jovial. The poor conditions of their life did not seem to phase them at all. The islanders smiled and laughed and were extremely friendly toward them. Equipment at the island school , where the Perrys taught, was not the best. In fact, it wasn 't until their second year of duty that desks arrived for the school. The children found the new desks to be uncomfortable and ended up sitting on the floor of the schoolhouse and using the chairs as desks. According to Mr. Perry the students found this to be most comfortable. One of the most interesting facts about the people on Namoria Island was the fact that none of them were rich. In fact, in our country, these people would be considered to be poverty stricken to the utmost degree. Mr. Perry stated that it was unbelievable when he first saw how they lived. Even though they were poor, they never complained about their living -standards and were ha,ppy and friendly and showed no signs of discontent. He did mention,, though, that on some of the islands there were millionaires, due to the fact that the islanders had sold some land to the United ,States Government during World War II and reaped high profits. The humorous aspect of this is that these people lived just as poorly as all other islanders in most .cases, for whenever someone became rich, all their relatives came and lived off them. On this same topic, -M r. Perry informed us that the family was a very close group . In fact :families were made up of mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, aunts and uncles. Aunts and uncles were referred to as mother and father in the Marshallize language. There were no words for au-nt and uncle in their language. Mr. and Mrs. Perry had to learn this language so they could communicate with adults. This took about a year to do, but because they lived with ,t he people and had close friendships with them, this was not as difficult as one might expect. (Continued on page 5)

Typing Course At Cardigan A ty,ping course is now offered at C. M. S. This year only seniors may take typing, but there is a poss•LbHity that typing may be offered to underclassmen in future years. Ten new Royal typewriters have been rented and placed in the old art room in Clark,Mor.gan Ha:ll. Mrs. Hazen le.aches this course, and many boys have commented that they have learned a great deal from her. There are three 45 minute periods per week and there are eight in a c1as,s. The time is spent ty,p ing v~rious !es-sons designed to develop speed and accuracy. It is felt that boys in ninth grade will need this skill \\_'.'he,n they ente,r prep school next y.e.ar. Many p,rep schools require all term repor,t s or impor,ta,n t pa·p ers to be typed ,oil.,t. Of course, this is also tr_u e of college, but even more so.

The Perrys Marshall Islands home.
Mr. Perry In Peace Corps (Continued from page
1)
To give us .an idea of what kind of people the islanders -were, Mr. Perry tells two interesting stories. Once an American was commenting to an islander on the condition o.f the school houses. T:he American pointed out that the ,roof was collapsing slowly. The islander answered, "Yes, and the walls are cracked too." Another time _Mr . .and Mrs. Perry and a Peace Corps health workers decided to build a wall around an outside cooking area. They carefully constructed a wooden wall around the area, feeling this would help the cook out. he would have his own kitchen. Two days after the cook began kicking out pieces of wood and within .a few days he had completely destroyed the wall. He was using the wood to ,feed the furnace. After two years on the island of N amoria, Mr. and Mrs. Perry left to return to America. The people were truly sad to see the 1Perrys leave. It wasn 't because they were losing teachers that made the islanders sad since Peace Corps mernbers were being .sent to replace them. It rwas because of the sincere friendship the people had for the Perrys. When asked why they decided to come to Cardigan the Perrys .s aid that their experiences teaching on the island made them want to go into teaching. Mr. ·P erry .said that he heard ,about C ardigan from a friend and applied for a teaching position. They visited the campus, talked to Mr.Wakely and looked around and liked what they saw and heard. We are extremely happy to have these two fine people with us.

Opens Up New Developmental Reading Laboratory A new de,velop,me,ntal readfog labor,a tory has been put into operation this f.a11 a,t CIMiS Developmental Reading is a relatively new concept in secondary school teaching. But reading ca,n no longer ,be thought olf as ju_st the concern of elementary schoois. &eading is a continuous ,g rowth .p.roces'S. Developmental Reading is a consistent, planned attack on the comlplex skiHs involved in reading. lit seek,s -to ~mprove and .build upon any of the exi,s ting ski1ls that the students have. lmprovemelllt in secondary reading d,o esn't c"Ome aibout simply as a result of incidellltal teaching, of readin,g or of doing g,r eater amounts of reading. lit comes primarily a,s a resuM od: direct and carefully guided instruction and practice rthat are speciffoally designed to meet the need of seoondlary students. Just review olf elementar,y silciUs i,s not sufficient. .Students in second:ary schools· must 1be given guidance in refdning, these .silci1Ls and in app,lying them to material tha:t increases ,rapidly in difficulty. .The burden of ooncelp,t s is heavier, .a Mgher den• ,s ity of idea,s is common, a1bsrt.ract SYlll/bOLs are more numerous. Most ;s tudents· wy to apply their old: re,a ding skins, which we.re lbla,sica,lly oral reading skillJS to this more diffi.cu1t mate·riail. What this new material rea11y requires, though, are sophisticated silent ireading skii11s. The transition .from 1basicaUy oral type ,slcills to highly efif,i cient silent reading skd11s and srtudy methods' is an impo:rfant ,characteristic olf developmental reading instruction at the secondal"y le.vel.
After previewing the material to get questions and a purpos1 formed in his mind, Craig Johnson is now using one of the Shad.o w scope Reading Pacers to help him reg~late his reading spee~ ir. one of the fifteen studiy carrels found in the new dievelopmenta: reading laboratory. He has selected a speed which is reasonablE fort his understanding, yet challenging enough to force a mort total concentration on the material.

Steve August has just finished studying new vocabulary words and, surveying a printed version of "Why Men Explore Caves." He is now reading this filmstrip at nearly double the speed which he began r'e ading them two months ago. He has increased his effective rate of reading by constantly challenging, his speed and comprehension by faster rates as he learned to read by phrases instead of words, indent to decrease the number of eye fixations per line, seek the ideas behind the words, eliminate saying the words to himself, and prevent regressions (going back to see if he "missed something"). He,r e are some of the chief g,oals of dievelopmental reading•: teach ,adljustmen1t of speed, to purpose-flexibi1ity of ,s peed rather than one· rate is mosit efficient.

Computer at C.M.S. Linked With Dartmouth 'J1he Ne,w Engla.nd Tel,e,phone Company just -recently installed a teletype that makes the huge Dartmouth .!omputer a¥.ailaible to the students and faculty at ICardig,an Mountain S~hool. Cardigan, is now a memlber of the rapidly gr.owiJlg ,Dartmouth Computer Network. One very interesting aspect of the oomputer is the cost. 'It costs the s-chool five cents per second of operation. '!\his sounds like a great deal more than the cost a-ctually is, for the time is computed ,by the computer. In short, this means "computer time," and the computer uses: only fractions of a second to solve .ma111.y problems and one or two seconds for · the most difficult prob!lems. Mr.' Marrion, ,Chairman of the !Math Department and .iJl charge of the computer program at Cardigian, said that he was amazed•at the unlbelieva;ble speed of the computer. He said that he hasn',t , as yet, seen any pi;olb1ems s·olved iby .the .computer that took any great length of time. C.'M.1S. .students .find the oomputer to be JJ.,o t ,only -educational, but also enterta1ning. IBoy,s have found that the machine ,c an't 1be !beaten at TicTac-Toe; h01Wever, John IKeilh:auer did somethin,g many of us thou~ht to be impossrble. 'He beat the wizard at ahes,s. Mr . .Marrion say,s the school has maJJ.y plans for the compute•r. He sees many ,new and .wonderful applications for this new addition to Cardigan.

Trustees, Incorporators Meet The yearly meeting of the Cardigan Trustees and Incor,porators was held Frid,ay, OctOlber 11, 1·968 at Cardig,a,n Mounitain School. A regular school dlay wa,s held. While classes were in sesS1ion the TruS1tees and Incorporators were taken on a tour od' the campus. They viS1ited the classroom buildings and enjoyed glancing in 1at many of the classes in session. One Olf the sights they showed great inte·r est in was the new deve.topmenta,l reading 1alboratory. Here, they saw one of the many reasons why CiMIS has become one of the more ,advanced schoo1s in .t he world, of independent s,chools. A delicdous roast beef dinner was served in the early afternoon. Glancy',s cooking sti11 proved1 to be a delight to feast upon. Mte,r lunch the men met at the Hie,a dmaster',s House and talked about ,t he school's pre.sent and future needs. Many important topiics were discu~ed. While the men were having their meeting, the wives were given ,a demonstmtion of the new readdn:g laboratory ,and later they viewed the ,new:est building on campus, the Srtowiell House. Although not quite completed, they were alble to see how this building will help Cardiig,a n grow. To highlight the day, the women were entertained by Mr. Mahoney w'ho sh01Wed slides of the Holy Land andl many other tours· tha t he has taken. The CMS stud•e nts especiaUy enjoy,e d Mr. Ernest L. Ward and his 1
wid'e for they arrived by way of helicopter. Mr. Ward's pilot landed the helicopter near Got ting Rock so it would be in full vie,w. The helicopter is owned by Sprague Electric Company of North Adams, Massachusetts . Mr . Ward is president of this firm. Many Cardigan students gathered around the area when Mr. and Mrs. Ward left. 'Dhey waved goodibye as the helicopter traveled off into the distance. Most of the trustees, incorporators and their wives left in the Late a1fiternoon . Everyone seemed to enjoy the day and no doubt are looking forward to next year's visit.

Magic is an art .. . Least at C.M.S it is IMagtic, f:or a believer, is one of the mos,t ifia.scinating forms of e,rute-ritainment. For the non-be,Lievers we c:an only hope ,t hat someday these peop,Ie wiill trnat magic, not as a toy, but a,s an art, for any good ,magician is an artist; however, it takes a lot of pva<itice and it i.s . something you mus,t endoy doingi. •Magic, by no means, i,s just pu11in,g· r,a1b bits out of hats. L,i ke ,a n avt, there are many a,sp•e ots of ti.it. This is easUy seen in our ow:n club on campus. We have a wide via-tlety of interests, ranging from cards, to mental telepathy, ventriloquism, ,and e.s capes, though the,r e 'a,r e .still some who prefe.r to pull rialblbits out of hats. In the club ever,y one learns a Httle aibout each one of the fields, and ·those initere-sted. in special kinds of magdc become se:mi-e~erts, and this enalble,s them to te,a ch othe•rs.
