Questionable City Schools Book Aids College Tests

Parents are told of a 288 page book priced at 2 dollars that purports to help students pass college entrance tests and improve IQ and aptitude exam results. Critics note that true mastery requires demonstration in examinations and that capable students must show skill in long division and other problems.

School attendance and readings spark concern at Alpine Central

The note cites rising absences at Alpine Central School with 12 pupils out daily in the fourth six weeks and 17 daily in the fifth six weeks, illustrating a teacher off average under Gilmer Aiken standards. It also mentions a May 1957 Reading House item and a Del Rio visit by Mr and Mrs Adams and daughter Susan.
