According to statistics three
percent of the students of any
ichool population are mentally
retarded. By those figures,
Brady probably has 45 children
in varying stages of retards
tion.
Thirteen such children are
attending the special education
rials at South Ward Elemen-
ts y School.
Mrs. Sally Davia, teacher of
the rlwxs said that probably a
number of the more educalde
rhildren were sent to other
classes. Children are tested and
placed where they are capable
id making an adjustment and
at the level they are capable
of learning.
Since a lot of the stigma at-
tached to mental retardation
has been removed through the
efforts of the Kennedy family,!
and the federal government is1
giving aid, more people are
realizing that the retarded and j
physically handicapped are cap- j
able of leading u.*efu! and
happy lives.
The purpose of the Spe-
cial Education elans is to
teach the rhildren the es-
sential* it takes to get
along in society.

“Social development is very
important. To learn to get
along with other people is one j
of the problems facing those in
this class,” said Mrs. Davis.
"The work here is 50 per-
cent academic and 50 percent
otherwise. We teach the social
vocations such as grooming,
homemaking, marketing, ax
well hs the use of small hand
tools. That is, as much as they
can learn »t this level. We like
to think we are preparing them
to lead useful lives for them-
selves and for those around
tto-ni." she continued.
Everything that is done in
the class hHs a purpose.
The games, though fun, are
really teaching them scholasti-
cally. Through them they learn
counting and reading. It also
teaches them eye-hand coor-
dination.
Some of the 13 children
are not able to count,
some can do third grade
arithmetic but do not read
well.
The ages of children range
from 6 to 13 and the older
ones have learned to help the
younger. “Age doesn't mean
much to them but you can say
‘take the little ones and read
to them or keep them busy’ und
they will do a good job of it,”
she explained.
“Sometimes you think they
are not. making any progress
and then some little something
happens and you feel that you !
haven't been a failure after
all. I have a little girl here who i
ia very shy and she cries easily.
Then there is a little boy who
likes to tease. Nothing mali-
cious, just like normal children.
The other day, 1 heard a great
howl from the little boy. He
had Ireen teasing my shy little
girl and she got enough and
bopped him on the nose. Thi-t
was the best news I had heard
all week. My shy little girl
had learned to take up for her-
self.
“Don't get me wrong, I don’t
encourage such, hut it was a
step forward. These children
must learn to get along with
others and stand up for their
rights."
Each month the class, with
Mrs. Davis’ help, makes up a
mimeographed Ixtoklet railed
“The Tattlegram.” Soma of the
children are artistically inclined
and draw covers for the six or
eight-page paper. In the paper
are letters written by some of
the children telling what, hi-x
been done during the month.
They have a pet ieuxna
and two turtles which create
much interest with the stu-
dent x. Earh copy of the
newsletter has at |p»xt one
letter about the pets.

It includes a want ad sec-
tion which other classes make
known items they need like egg
cartons or cylinders from
bathroom tissue. The last page
hi alwuys a fun page for the
younger brother or sister at
home. It is a picture to be col-
ored with crayons.
For Christmas tiie children
are happily working on a mlun-
ger scene made from large
cardboard cartons. Mrs. Dsvis
plans a Christmas pageant for
Hie cla ’x in which they act out
the parts as she reads a
fmmtmas story, “We plan to
make all our costumes and
scenery. The children are redly
enthusiastic alxnit it,” said Mrs.
Davis.
In observing Mrs. Davis with
the children, one can easily see
that they love her. She is firm
but gentle, She feels that there
is more than one way to solve
the children’s problems.
"! love to have them do
creative work. They have a
sense of baying done some-
thing, something they ran show
and sav. ‘Look, I did this.’ This
is an outlet for their emotions.
Most of them do h*"c an emo-
tional problem and the creative
work, such as finger painting,
cutting pirer and making little
knick-knacks is an outlet for
these strep ex and strains," ex-
plained the teacher.
The older boys in the
clsxs get their physirsi
exercise with the other
fourth grades at South
Hard. The remainder have
their own exercises pro-
gram.
One is n balance beam nnd
balance board. The beam or
walking bonrd is six fee* long
and sir inches high md c*n
he chunked from ‘J11, inches
wide to 1 -3(i inches.
The balance board is a rub-
hci covered board Hi inches
wide nnd 16 inches long. The
two are used in remedial percep-
tual training. Balance and body
flexibility are developed
through exercise on these
boards.
"Balance and flexibility are
the foundation for the develop-
ment of b>terality and direction-
ality so necesxnrv in reading
and other academic work," ex-
plained Mrs. Davis. “So you can
see exercise for the body rail
can also helti academically.”
All of the rhildren take
part in the normal school
routine as much as is pos-
sible. They see the same
films and asMemblirx as all
students at South Ward and
ohen they progress out of
the age group tWy are
worked hark iato the regu-
lar achool program.
The five boys ano eight girls
in the class are happy children
who are progressing at their
own level, however slowly. They
are progressing to being useful
citizens who will take their
place in their community. The
aim is to teach them to he able
to earn a living and to lead
happy and normal lives.
Mrs. Davis received her BS
degree at Howard Pwyue College
in Brownwood imd is working
on her Master’s Degree at
southwest Texas State College
in San Marcos. The class was
originally a program for tho
physically handicapped begun
about 1954. Mrx. G. A. Reese
was teacher for the cla-x until
her retirement in the school
year 1964-65, when Mrs. Davia
took over.

flying his private plane with
three passengers, landed at
Curtis Field in the early morn-

ceived by the City Council.

ficer who was operating Unit

“When we landed I tried to
call a taxi hut be d'd not an-
